[gsnaits]

Why haven't this video got millions of views?

[FaithUnframed]

[Khabgar]

Omg guys... I can't thank you enough for how much you like this Album and this song!!

its so breath taking I think I'm gonna make a album like this one ONLY FOR YOU ALL!

//Jan Sallander- Founder of The Cold Existence!

[Fufux0rs]

this why im possessed by metal

[InExtremo09]

That's music... fucking great!! One of the best songs I ever heard \m/ \m/

[DevilOnHog]

Athanatoi este deja vu

[HacKer3kk]

Can anyone send me the lyrics of this song?Would appreciate it !;3

[Xartaetos2007]

My god, the beginning riff sounds just like Rotting Christ' s "Athanati Este"

[augas]

I just bought this album and i can say only that this album is much better than sombre gates album.... As of myself a cant even listen to sombre gates. To much "noise" ..... The essence is much more melodic and filled with emotion. Well, i cant argue with musical taste and the bands members. Its theyre desicion what to do with theyre music. But i would really want to thank The Cold Existence for making this awesome album that is truly a masterpiece and did inspire me as well

[JBshotJL]

Melodic Death Metal. My favorite genre. Far to underground.

[dante30able]

i cant stop hearing this song just like i did when i heard αθανατοι εστε by rotting christ for the first time

ATHANATOI ESTE VS SHADOWS OF THE PAST

[Chocthegreat]

FUCK!



[brickjackal]

This Song is fucking epic. There is a lot of great underground bands, and i'd like to tank oabbasi for sharing so many of them :)

[EraOneSamael]

i love u...this is by far one of the best melodic death metal band ive heard in my entire life!

[TheGhettoFineLaxer]

What the fuck. I was just listening to some music on YouTube, then I found this song, and now I am off to purchase all of this bands albums and demo tapes. I would save a lot of money if these dudes weren't so dam good

[heavygunz301]

Those guitars... *~*

[COxC0]

epic vocal.

[heavendissection]

Mainstream in the metal sense of the word? If so, there are just few metal bands that are mainstream in the classic sense, I mean, in the pop sense of the word. Anyway, not much music is mainstream, so there's pretty much a great probability that something you like won't be mainstream :D Example: there's maybe 10 mainstream melodeath bands, and there's thousands and thousands of MDM bands out there, get it? :)

[visualart139]

some bad ass swedish:)

[CelestialObscurity]

Opening riff is too similar to Rotting Christ...

[hellyeah525]

[obesecherokee]

[hellyeah525]

@obesecherokee LOOOOOOOL man specially the slow part i love this song

[kichermann]

Wow.. I'll buy it ... I don't buy a lot of Cds but the first 30 Seconds were enough for me. I love that !!

[Akterskytt]

grym låt!

[bill9guys]

Holy shit this is an INTENSE riff!!!

[patriksyk]

Talking about money. Im one of the original members of this band and I haven't seen ANY money at all. Just so you know. Just go to their shows, its the best way to support them. And if you learn the lyrics and sing along I promise you it would make the the singer Janne's day!

[niko0o0olas]

[xGr1mAuGuRyx]

@xXGrimmDethXx So true man. >:0 I mean, I personally prefer more underground music. But I still LOVE mainstream. It's not shit, it's just not what I prefer. <3 You couldn't be more right.

[Khabgar]

Hehe this is awsome!

Thanks everyone for all the post for this song.

So sick that this song: Shadows of the Past of all the songs I have made for the Cold Existence is most listened to and people like the most, why is that? =) Its the First song I ever made to TCE in the summer of 1998, maybe time does not matter/ Jan Sallander

[Gerbilios]

I don't care about what type of metal it is, or what they sing about as long as it sounds good

[tacityrn]

I FEEL THIS SORROW IT'S BUILDING UP INSIDE LIKE ALL THIS PAIN CAN IT NEVER END I KNOW A STORM IS COMING I CAN HEAR THE WIND CRYING IT'S JUST A WAY OF LIFE SOMETIME IT HAS TO END.

[nallen18]

[tacityrn]

[ser4ton]

pizdato! Lucnshiy track na albome!

[bud389]

damn this shits awesome

[13dirtysouf37]

Can anyone post the full lyrics for this song? Holy dick I cannot stop listening to this. Probably the sickest song I've discovered in the last two months.

[Stalde]

Yeah, I just stumbled upon it aswell. Send me a message with your favorite metalbands, and i'll do the same. :-D

[Cursed1993]

I like alot of different types of music, melo death being the main one. I don't dislike country, I don't care too much for it, but I deff. don't hate it. As far as country goes, brad paisley is probably the best IMO.

[Doudou6373]

Fucking awesome

[figliadellatempesta]

Going to see them live this Saturday!Yeah!!!:)))

[figliadellatempesta]

amazing song!

[Anarxikos100]

great song............

I love it

[jordizzle666]

I love all types of music exept for country music, so if your going to bag other peoples music go bag country music.

[deathreject4ever]

u right

[splitterfitta]

sounds... great!

[Vyromaniac]

I need to download this. Nough said.

[herremilkanter]

buy the album, I know the bandmembers personally and they're in need of cash!

[Vyromaniac]

Now say that to someone who goes outside.

[herremilkanter]

I dont get it, you don't go outside?

[exneo002]

@herremilkanter these guys certainly deserve the money; this is one of my favorite melo-death songs

[infrenaz]

@herremilkanter what a way to sell albums dude xD

[jeffadampreston]

@herremilkanter you lucky motherfucker, i wish i could meet them

[melodeath95]

@herremilkanter ha i know im replying to an old comment but its funny to think your in the band, i know your probably not but it would be funny if you were

[herremilkanter]

@melodeath95 Hehe, yeah I get what you're saying :) I'm not in the band no... Though it felt like I was during their recording of Sombre Gates... Used to help them out a lot by driving them to gigs, studio and around town n shit XD Good times :)

[satanicmadness]

@herremilkanter If they want MONEY they should change themselves.

UNFORTUNATELY the people who listen to such a music are very low...

Me myself, I like this song VERY MUCH (specially melody) but i prefer to use my money for a band like evanescence instead of this.

Most of the people Dont Understand the MEANING of this song! U know what i say?

[DeadMeatFan666]

@satanicmadness lmfao go waste your money on a shit band such as evenessence

[satanicmadness]

@DeadMeatFan666 Shut the fuck up and don't say that holy name again! your mouth isn't clean enough!

U don't even know the spelling how do you let yourself to talk about metal when u say that band is ...

"EVANESCENCE" NOT "EVENESSENCE" learn how to write first, then come and talk about metal.

[techNOchannel17]

@herremilkanter piratebay XD its free

[GenkeiNoHattori55]

@herremilkanter How would I buy when they don't even sell their album here? :(( I live in Malaysia

[TheBlackOnWhiteCrime]

@herremilkanter Aren't most metal bands? Well, except if you live in Norway...

[omudan]

@herremilkanter "Don't quit your day job" is a familiar expression, yes?

[MrGuitarshredder08]

@herremilkanter most definately man where can i get it at?

[herremilkanter]

@MrGuitarshredder08

It's not really a top seller, so I had some trouble finding sites that has it. Google the band name, cant post links on youtube :/

If that doesnt help I could contact Jan from the band and see if he knows how to hook you up :)

[MrGuitarshredder08]

@herremilkanter alright ya ill gogle the name and see if i can find anything. thanks bro!

[MrGuitarshredder08]

@herremilkanter i think i found em on facebook but thats all i could find D:

[invadersnow]

Well said.

[Tdog672000]

True that man, good music is good music, It doesn't matter where it came from, or what genre it is.

[synistar04]

^What this dude said.

[mtcameron3]

True to some extent, sometimes people try to had to be unlike everyone else. But most mainstream involves little talent compared to melodic death metal, just a fact. So I can say I'm more a fan of music like this but at the same time listen to some rap and country here and there.

[ShadowCrystal2]

@xXGrimmDethXx You are so fucking right there. Hit it right on the nail :P

[whohonestlycares4]

@xXGrimmDethXx

THANK YOU.

[InFlam3sW3Trust]

@xXGrimmDethXx; Dude, the majority of the time, mainstream is complete and utter shit. Care to take a look at current mainstream? It's void of talent, flooded with shit artists. I for one give a fuck what people listen to. When the future generation is listening to shit like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus and thinking it's cool, that worries me deeply. Music is a huge fucking influence. I listen to what I want to, which means I don't listen to shit mainstream.

[xXGrimmDethXx]

@InFlam3sW3Trust Maybe so. But other people may think its the best shit evar. What I'm saying is, "Good for the people who think it's great." I'm not gonna play Nazi and make them listen to music I think is "good". I have no place to do that, nor do I care what they listen to. They aren't me, so I don't care what they blast in their headphones. They think their music is awesome, and I think my music is awesome. My taste in music is my own opinion and preference, and theirs is their own.

[tacityrn]

@xXGrimmDethXx i'm sick of all the hate to

but that's why we must infect the world with our hateful music :)

so they can truly know what hate is

[killjack116]

@xXGrimmDethXx to fucking right

[jeffadampreston]

@xXGrimmDethXx exactly, listen to what you like

[LordBomber]

@xXGrimmDethXx

So True.

[TheBlackOnWhiteCrime]

@xXGrimmDethXx They're kids, they don't know any better.

[JaNeIsKlarDu]

@xXGrimmDethXx fail comment

[ultimoXgamer]

@xXGrimmDethXx I couldnt have said it better my self

[MorbidEverlasting]

@xXGrimmDethXx the only mainstream genre that is shit is pop

[NejiKusa]

Have fun with that.

[WarezHaxor]

@xXGrimmDethXx amen!

[strongerthandeath300]

@xXGrimmDethXx

i agree, i listen to everything from the eagles and pinkfloyd to cannibal corpse and vomitory to this and other stuff that is 100x heavier who gives a fuck what ppl think about it….ppl try to build an image based on the music they listen to ….just be your self, thats what make you different

[SeksGnom]

@xXGrimmDethXx

Amen! :D

na.. seriously... i agree.. i have exactly the same opinion.

good to see that i'm not alone.

keep this opinion mate!

[anotheruser6]

could anyone post the right lyrics of this song. it's amazing (unfortunately only this one from the whole album)

[oOIVI1K3Oo]

everyone has to agree that most underground bands like these are better then well known bands, lots of people are in that mainstream bull like disturbed,slipknot,etc

[DestroyAndVoid18]

I def like Disturbed and Slipknot, but they will never be in my favorite genres of metal. Would you call Scar Symmetry mainstream?

[Shirobero]

SC and Sonic Syndicate're mainstream nowadays.

Take a look at Dark Tranquillity or Opeth, they're not main and I think they'll never be.

[oOIVI1K3Oo]

all those bands arent mainstream im talking about disturbed,slipknot and stuff everyone knows those bands and bullet for my valentine and stuff

[oOIVI1K3Oo]

no scar symmetry kicks ass

[DestroyAndVoid18]

I didn't think they were mainstream. That idiot Shirobero says they are. I think that if you can find a bands CD in Best Buy, they're mainstream.

[Shirobero]

Go fucu yourself, you bastard.

Don't fucking call me idiot, you're fag. Continue to listen you MAINSTREAM bands, looser!

[DestroyAndVoid18]

Hahaha you're joking, right? Tell me, have you ever walked into a store and seen a Scar Symmetry album in there? Plus even if they were mainstream, so what? Is the world going to explode into a billion pieces? Scar Symmetry is not mainstream. So you are the bastard, the fag. And you are the "looser". Learn to spell, too. Your comment had bad grammar

[Shirobero]

Continue with your Comercial Metalcore.

I'm spending my time with you.

[DestroyAndVoid18]

wtf?

[burster8boostar]

is this band competing aginst bloodbath. they both are from sweeden

[glupijutub]

i doubt they r competing against bloodbath cuz bloodbathis all stars band.

but even so this song sounds nice

[UNHALL0WEDspawn13666]

cool song.

[taxi911]

wow, this was like the only song by this band that i liked... took me 5 months to get the album, was a disappointment!!! :'-(!!!

[DarkglowChannel]

cool song!

[Shagthegoat]

cant find a download link for one of their albums :'(

[taxi911]

you're better off any way, trust me...

[FriskMeister392]

wow, i cannot believe this, melodeath that actually has something to do with death metal!!!

[taxi911]

agreed... most bands now days, doing the same bollocks... chug chug - based riffs... fusing with hardcore screams or whatever the hell they are... and mid tempo'd blast beats... -_-... or, they go for the whole Children Of Bollocks crap power metal style... like archeon, norther, imperanon... so on so on...

[CapricornDrummer]

but that;s why we still have amon amarth :D

[bucu]

they will play in my city, this friday :)

[bucu]

gig cancelled. fuck ;/

[7480619]

o that sucks

[LakeBodom91]

this is rather good.

[grisjohnny]

Riktigt gött

[treeant123]

The bassist in this band is my guitar teacher ^^ Hes name is Mattias and I'm going to ABF to learn how to play the guitar^^

[CrookedX777]

This song's good.

[Shagthegoat]

The Athanati Este riff is cewler imo, heavier ^^

[Sleaveless]

epic

[ninjutsu111]

It may sound a bit like athanati este in the start,but the riff is actually completely different.Both are great anyway.

[oOIVI1K3Oo]

guitaring is cool

[WARBEAST2]

Athanati Este - Rotting christ" they may have the same riff but this sounds better =)

[edtaureg]

Sweden has some of the Best Melodic Death metal and Death metal bands in the World.. no doubt this band is one of them..!! loved it.. thanks for the upload man..!! this song gave me an Orgasm..!! XD... lol... \m/_Horns Up_\m/

[CrookedX777]

Sweden also has some good power metal.

[sarghat17]

fucking great!! \m/

metal greetings from slovenia!!

[Trin3tyIII]

This sounds very much like the lead singer for the ex-Band Gardenian, of Gothenburg Metal Descent. Dont rape me, just an honest opinion. BTW: I love Gardenian, and this band is badass.

[Elysium91]

i love it *_*

[tacityrn]

i feel this sorrow it's building up inside like all this pain can it never end i know a storm is coming i can hear the wind crying it's just a way of life sometime it has to end

[Khabgar]

"Thats exactly the same riff from Athanati Este - Rotting christ"

Lol yes the first riff sounds a little like Athanati Este- But Rotting christ must have taken inspiration from The Cold Existence song: Shadows of the past because it was made in the summer of 1998! and it still kicks ass muhaha.

[siitrom]

Nice one.....

[creationisevolution]

this is great:) i like blackened metal but am a bit sick of the ugly screaming a lot of bands have.

[Filtroxouana]

Thats exactly the same riff from Athanati Este - Rotting christ

[Splattersheep]

Just great! I think that is the best discription for this amazing song!

[ClaymanAlex]

pro mate
