  • Sounding like Warrel Dane is not a bad thing. I think it would be an honor. Warrel Dane is phenomenal.

  • he reminds more of Tyrrant Conklin from Jag Panzer than Warrel Dane

  • Their sound is different than Nevermore's, but the vocalist sounds A LOT like Warrel.

  • Actually started headbanging subconsciously during this song. Fuckin' great! \m/

  • amazing

  • Pure Nevermore

  • this song fucking rocks so fucking hard it makes me use words like fucking fuck and shit...wooooooo johnny nutsack!

  • Communic...gr8 composition....and good progressive band.....

  • 0:25

    then go check Nevermore "The River Dragon Has Come"

    0:42

    hmm..

  • Eh... it really does sound like a bland attempt at Nevermore's sound. Which means it's better than most stuff out there, but... I'll stick with Nevermore, simply because they're better, imo.

  • wait...it's not like you're only allowed to listen to one band. you can listen to both nevermore and communic, nothing bad will come of it. what the hell is wrong with you?

  • Um. When did I say that? "...bland attempt at Nevermore's sound" kind of infers that I don't like it that much, meaning... why would I listen to this when I could listen to Nevermore, who I like a lot?

    As for what the hell's wrong with me, I'm human. *shrug*

  • Bland no. Nevermore ish... but I could still easily tell the difference, the vocalist is quite different from Warrel Dane. And both bands are good

  • Hm. I might look into them then... I was just judging them by this song, which, considering this is progressive metal, isn't the best idea.

  • @cotton3434 They do sound similar, there is definately the similarity.. and influence. But if you listen you can hear the differences.

  • This is their most Nevermore-ish song imo, they definitely have their own sound on other tracks. I love both bands.

  • @HooligannSTR: Communic is definitely a lot different from Nevermore, from what I've heard of Nevermore. They're my substitute. (This Godless Endeavor...no, thank you.)

    Communic's songs are longer, more progressive, less of a genre grab bag, and focused on different issues than Nevermore's. Oddleif's vocals are more controlled than the 5-octave wonder.

    The songs are also performed with an almost industrial, workmanlike feel, fitting their lyrical theme. The production adds this quality.

  • What a shitty ass singer, What the fuck. Too bad the riffin' is ruined.

  • you are fuck

  • at the start dont like it, but after that Yesss!

  • they are trying to sound like nevermore. The frontman is obsessed with them i think

  • TRYING being the key word there...

  • Awful, sorry...

  • Comment removed

  • r u joking?? his voice is fucking awesome!

  • Comment removed

  • fuck you ..shithead :|

  • Fucking R Tard, Go listen to something else. The guy can sing .. if u dont like it dont comment. Go back to SLIPKNOT.

  • lmao well said man. Fuck these assholes, they wouldnt know good music if it kicked them in the face

  • *roundhouse

  • the basist in this band is the best in the world

  • Funny how many similarties there are between Communic and Nevermore. Both their vocalists look similar and the music obviously lol. Nothing short of EPIC!

  • Candlemass, Nevermore

    great band !!! fucking great !

  • You are not to familiar with progressive music are you?

  • im plenty familiar with it this just isnt my speed.

  • i've just seen them today live in my city :X they are great

  • si eu am fost la concert:P...nu m-au impresionat,dar au fost totusi peste asteptarile mele...

  • great song but terible vid

  • nice instrumentals but i hate the singing. Think ill give this one a miss.

  • The singing is nothing but awesome.

  • Amazing band...BUT THIS VIDEO SUCKS!!!

  • Warrel Dane has a much larger range, but this band isn't bad at all.

  • Nevermore's cover band

  • sounds way to much like nervemore

  • Achei uma copia de nevermore mas não deixa de ser bom.

  • Ridiculously talented band here......all 3 of their albums rule.

  • hell yeah!

  • Yeah this song resembles some Nevermore material, but overall, the two bands don't share much in common. Check out Shatter Messiah if you want to hear a band more similar to Nevermore.

  • thought this was NEVERMORE before i looked at the title! never heard of this band? LOVE THEM! and NEVERMORE .both are the shit!!

  • Communic AND Nevermore are AWESOME

  • i think we should all just agree that the vocals are awesome, inface the whole band is fuckin' awesome.

  • i meant infact, not inface, sorry

  • why is everyone talkin shit about the singer?

    i dont see anyone typing about how all the singers who scream sound the same but he actually has a good voice even though they sound the same odds are someone out there is goin to have the same voice u have

  • Agreed. We need more singers with a good voice like this, not less!

  • there are similiarities and both bands are terrific.

  • simons eier sind sooooooooo fett man könnte meinen eichhörnchenlagern ihre nüsse in seinen säcken

  • solo = uber!!! all who thinks otherwise is sick in the head!

  • Someone is trying a little too hard to sound like Warrel Dane...

  • They don't remind me much of Warrel, they remind more of Kai Hansen.

  • sounds like a dead even mix of the two to me...

  • If you're referring to the singer, I'd say nay, he resembles much more Messiah Marcolin, but less doom-y!

    Mmmh, it's pretty obvious that they sound a whole lot like Nevermore, but are they really worse than Nevermore? This is a different story. I'm not very keen of both bands, Nevermore has better musicianship (Loomis and Broderick!), but I prefer Communic, 'cause at least THEY AREN'T AS FUCKING HYPED AS NEVERMORE!

    Seriously, Nevermore is good, but it's also one of the most overhyped bands ever.

  • this singer sounds nothing like Marcolin. You obviously are listening to voices in your head, not music.

  • ...Ha!That's a bold statement you've made! Care to back it up with some evidence?

    It all depends. In your point of view I listen to voices in my head,in my point of view you have a distorted perception of sounds or you're just fucking deaf, but I didn't tell you, because I respect others' opinion. If you're so sure of your point, of course you can prove it, right? Answer: no.

    Got it, little and meaningless excuse for an human being? You don't have the truth (neither do I), so shut up.

  • you mom should have swallowed. Go talk shit to someone else, you dont impress me, kid.

  • you're a kid that knows jack shit about metal. listen to the actual music before you give your opinion. and dont ever tell someone to shut up,its immature and makes you a target of verbal abuse by those superior to you.

  • Vocals remind me of Ville Laihiala of former group Sentenced R.I.P and current group Posenblack.

  • They need a keyboard player in my opinion. They are quite good, though.

  • they need 2nd guitarist and lower tuning

  • Hvem i helvete var den idioten som tok den drakta av Roar etterpå..??

  • I´m sure this band, by now, is pretty sick and tired of being constantly compared to Nevermore.

    ...But the fact remains - they sound an awful lot like a band that wants to sound exactly like Nevermore haha

    Anyway I think you should respect every metal band that actually writes good tunes, and Communcic does.

  • they sounds like nevermore

  • anyone got the tab for this?

  • well..they are good..i would listen to them if Nevermore didn't exist...but the comparison was inevitable as i listened to it unfortunately :-( ....

  • not Korn, Pantera! \m/

  • Korn sucks

  • In the last album he doesn't sings like Nevermore. But here its so obvious. But the sound is DAAAMN

  • I think they actually kinda sound like Nevermore. but hey, that's just me.

  • no it's not just you..they DO sound like the GODS in many parts...although they are more easy listening IMO...

  • Dude, I know people are gonna not like me for saying this, but does anybody notice that from 2:25 to 2:40 they sound kinda like KoRn?

  • The Bass in this song/band is fucking WICKED!!!

  • I think the bass player in this band is my favourite member! Just cause his bass sounds so awesome!

  • yea..That guy is one of the most awesome bassist i 've seen..kick ass

  • that bassist, erik? he's a stew-face

  • This video is amazing. The parts at 0:33, 0:40, 0:44, 0:46, 0:50 etc with the shadows...oh my god. FUCK. I just think that's one of the most artistically genious things I've ever had the priveledge to watch.

    Oh, yes, the song doesn't fall too short of that artistic genious either. To be honest, I'd prefer Communic over Nevermore (although I like Nevermore) just because Communic comes off as very ''artistic'' while Nevermore doesn't.

  • Anybody who actually thinks this is better than Nevermore is out of their mind, this guy has NOTHING on Loomis, NOTHING.

  • lol but it has curbed my appetite for a new Nevermore album... those bastards need to write another one already.... SO I CAN SEE LOOMIS!!!

  • Sounds a bit like Nevermore.

  • That's true.

  • may be they have to learn how to play and not just play hard and fast

    those drums totaly craps other instrumens

    singer is rather good, but he needs to practice, betters coleges and some good lyrics

    he remembers me gammaray

  • Yeah, uhmmm...the vocals and lyrics are fucking amazing...Well, everything about it is, but that part in particular made me a little annoyed.

  • Communic are magice, but i dont particularrly like the singer. I got nothin against him, hes a good guitarist, but i think he could be a better singer.

  • Amazing band but...ORIGINALITY 0.

  • a nice thing to know is that they mostly play for fun ;)

  • there are worse bands to 'rip off' - the whole nu-metal scene was a series of terrible bands ripping off many other terrible bands.

    i think communic are pretty good

  • very good this video

  • Two albums later and Communic has yet to write a song half this good.

  • they kick ass!

  • New Communic Album soon guys. Its got 8 tracks and its called "Payment of Existance". The details are at their myspace.

  • Hope they do a music video for the next album

  • new rehearsal vid out :)

  • sounds like they have a big Nevermore influence....good though

  • Norway Kicks ass!!

  • A 3 pice just shouldn't be this heavy, what a band, awesome at prog/Power Uk and will be even better at Bloodstock

  • how do u like Exhorder AND pantera.....pantera ripped them off.

  • ripped who off? they were around before Nevermore and Communic...

  • im talking about how Pantera Ripped off Exhorder. honestly, i like Communic, but they sound WAY too much like Nevermore. it's scary...

  • Nevermore is an amazing band, how can a band be "too much like Nevermore", wouldn't it only be better? In my opinion it would, but if you listen to enough Nevermore and enough Communic, the similarities will seem pretty vague, as they really are.

  • it's called ripping off Nevermore....that's stealing someone else's style of playing music...

    just like pantera ripped off Exhorder...

  • Like I said man, they're not similar enough to say they rip off Nevermore, the way they play and the themes of their songs are much too different, the only real similarities is the voice.

  • and the guitar...

  • Not so much. Nevermore is much heavier, and the solos Loomis plays are insane compared to this, not that this is bad. But its not as similar as it seems on the first few listens. After hearing both Communic albums many times, and all of Nevermore's albums, I can see the differences are vast.

  • you have a point Into The Mirror Black had a very similar style to what he does now.

  • A great band!

    Vocie, style and music just great!

    Cool video!

  • His voice to me is like a cross between Warrel's melodic flow, and James LaBrie's Vocal Pitch.

  • vocal similarity happens

    have you ever listened to count raven?the singers voice is very similar to ozzy's

  • yeah man,what if the singer sounds a bit like dane?he's still great.the guys've got talent.They are much more different than nevermore...the long songs,the playing,i can't relate them to nevermore...

    i like them very much

  • They do sound like Nevermore and there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that they sound so similar to another band that's kinda wierd. But anyway, yeah! I like these guys! And their bass kicks ass! Although, I still like Nevermore better! But these guys are fuckin cool man!

  • I agree on all you said, especially about the bass! Mean sound, I actually commented that in some other vid xP

  • that was wild!!!!!!

  • Personally, I find the vocal style to become a bit tiring. Not the voice, he is an awesome vocalist, but the vocal-lines, so similar all the time...But none the less, awesome! Instrumentally amazing, mean bass sound (for those who care about that :P)

  • Oddleif Stensland has been singing like this long before Nevermore went with their current progressive/groove direction.

    There are differences between the two bands. I'd argue Communic is somewhat more Power Metal oriented. But both are great, and their latest albums are fantastic. So I'd just enjoy both equally.

  • Er, listen to Nevermore's vocal stylings on their self-titled Album Nevermore(1995), really similiar.

    I like Dane much more, his range is much better than Stensland's.

  • That doesn't change my point. Stensland has been singing like this before Nevermore went in a progressive/groove direction.

    People call Communic a copy of Nevermore and cite the vocals as an example. The opposite is true - > Dane had his vocals since Nevermore was Power/Thrash, and then they went Progressive on Enemies of Reality.

  • Damn, that reads as if I am accusing Nevermore of copying. Rather, I mean that Communic's sound which is supposedly a 'copy' of Nevermore's was around just as long as Nevermore's.

  • There is a 5 month difference between Communic forming and Nevermore's Enemies of reality. He didn't really sing terribly similiar on Scariot either. Not what I would call 'long before' but I can see your point.

    Cheers :)

  • Who gives a damn if the singer sounds like Warrel Dane, he kicks ass, good job Communic...

  • They are similar to Nevermore in sound. They're really cool guys. They're a power trio whereas Nevermore has 5 members. Communic's music is more progressive and Oddlief's power screams sound better than Warrel's.

  • very similiar to nevermore!butttttttt...very cool!

  • sounds good

  • its my uncle.. and he is COOL!!!!!!

  • respect, this band is great, it by no means sucks, you stupid fuckers....

  • Wanna be of nevermore

  • whats wrong with more nevermore?

  • The vocals do sound similar to nevermore, but I like that type of voice.

  • One of my favourate songs of all time

  • Why people think that voice is bad?! Similar to Nevermore but good indeed.

  • the music is great and the voice is also great i have seen them at wacken 2007 and they were super

  • Very spice

  • don't know what you guys have to complain about the vocals, i like his voice

    looking really forward to see them in wacken next wee. and hoping that they will hang around in the backstage corner, since i got a vip-pass^^

  • fuck! the vocals really remind me of a bad imitation of Warrel Dane's voice! but they're not too bad though. music is definitely goood

  • Bra riff, kanon texter, och jävligt bra sång. Men visst, är man låst till att bara lyssna på mainstream så köp en "NRJ Greatests hits" istället och håll snattran stängd.

  • Good guitar riffs, questionable singing.

  • Great band, IMO the vocals could have been better, sounds sometimes a bit "forced/unnatural"...but overall great. Listen to Devon Graves - Deadsoul Tribe - always great vocals!

  • I wish people would stop comparing them to Nevermore. They're both different bands!

  • I second that.

    btw isnt the song edited for the vid?

  • yes, it is shortened.

  • omfg, the singing really sucks >.<

  • I'd like to hear you sing better, let alone while playing guitar. (and yes, Oddleif can pull both off in a live setting)

  • jævli bra resultat der, rock on oddleif \m/

  • I love this band, I've got all their songs on my compuer. I have to ask, what does everybody think of me making a dedication to all the greatest rock bands using Under A Luminous Sky?

  • not their best song, but certainly brilliant... simply love that band!

  • Awesome these guys kick metal ass!!

  • im no expert but damn! id have to agree with you completely :D

  • fuckin' great band!

  • To think Oddleif does all of the lead guitar and vocals on his own! I'd like to hear Warrell Dane or Jeff Loomis do that (not to take away from either's talent).

    In addition to Oddleif's similarities to Warrel, Tor Atle's drumming for some reason reminds me of Van Williams's style. Could be the way he almost perfectly complements the rest of the music.

  • Sweet! It's like someone made a copy of Nevermore. They're not quite as polished, but a great new band none the less.

  • wow, amazing

  • very very very good

  • This band is fuckin' amazing!!

  • It's a big new! His voice is very very nice. I'm a fan now and I'd like to see them one day in Brazil.

  • Despite being totally straight, i think Oddleif Stensland is such a good looking guy! Plus he has a unique and beautiful voice, which make Communic such a great band. Lovin Under a Luminous Sky

  • The Vocalist has a beautiful voice, I like them more, than Nevermore. Both bands are very very good!

    Nevermore this year and Communic next year in Wacken: fantastic!

  • so fuckin kewl

  • omg is this the old nevermore? XD they sound absolutley like nevermore i love nervermore though

  • Wow, i´ve heard never before anything about Communic. Thanks for uploading ;)

  • geiler song, aber der Sänger hat voll die Hamsterbacken :D

  • wow, I never even knew they had a
