I once got in trouble with the law, and felt really down about it. I was considering suicide, because I saw no reason to keep going in my situation. You wanna know why I didn't kill myself? This song convinced me otherwise.
Thank you, Sami, for writing such thought-inspiring, emotionally-captivating music. The Burning Sun = the best album of all time.
@PrivateSnowballTFC I'm glad this gave you strength to hold on. The Lair of Purity by Augury kinda did the same thing for me. Especially the lyrics for it helped me realize who I should become instead of wallowing in shame and self pity. Life is too beautiful to throw away like that.
@bogg4n Thanks man, looks like you did a great job. Although I gotta say, the tapping part doesn't quite seem correct. Couple of dudes on here seem to have it figured out though.
Sucks cause you know alot of Necrophagist fans are simply not gonna like this. Just adding fuel to the late album release ordeal. Devin Townsend fans on the other hand will be all over this! lol
@Torulv because sami is the artist and this is what he chose to write. if you think you have a better idea of what would sound good then go and write an album.
@JobForAMaxboy The argument, "YOU make something better!" is probably the dumbest, most illogical defense of art imaginable. Critics view art from the point of view of the audience. It doesn't matter what they themselves can create. The world desperately needs less people like you.
@Mysticum81 i didnt challenege him to write something outright better. i said if he thinks he has a better idea of what sounds good, then he should show us. i understand that music is all a personal preference, which the first sentence of my comment clearly stated.
@CKtheTruth Honestly, I'd download it free because it's just that good. I wouldn't mind spending money on the album if I had any. I believe as a musician/composer that it doesn't matter really if your making profits as long as you know that people love your music. But it would be great if Sami could make more money off of his music, then eventually we could be seeing him performing in the states (w/out necrophagist). All good music is priceless to me though.
@pppoooppp The only reason i download music free is because the band makes about a quarter of the money per cd as the retailer that you buy it off does, if there was a more direct way of buying an album so the money went straight to the band id be all for that
Does anyone have any idea which brand of virtual instruments he's using on here? I can't find this info on the Radiance website.

why the prog-sound. I can tell this would be epic if it had more death / grind to it.

It's epic because it's prog/symphonic influenced. You got it all backwards, man!
