Cloudkicker - Viceroy

[chocolateyk]

I cannot believe how much I love the intro to this song. Genius.

[greenbeaner69]

my recommended vids brought me here. yeah. im awesome.

[minidavb]

Who needs repetitive trans music when there's this master piece of an album?

[silverwolf122]

i brought me here

amidoinitrite?

[Thuringen]

@silverwolf122 any sequence of events that leads you to cloudkicker is done right.

[jremy2501]

The MaddHatter brought me here...

[xXHardc0rExFaNXx1]

inspiration



[siizeli]

Best "lost in youtube" find!

[ryanderekdalos]

Oh my god! Ben Sharp has the perfect musical balance in his brain for this type of stuff!!!

[MaxStewart03]

meant to find the dj viceroy but this is cool too...for real

[MrMattoutkast]

very nice



[JohnPetrucci251]

part of me wants there to be a singer/screamer, but then again i totally understand the absence of one

[eldiagrama]

this is not a song, this is a Treatise

[BoogieManPHD]

This actually includes the track 'Everything's Mirrored' and then Viceroy starts at 2:01 and then the track called 'Segue:' @ 6:44

If you like this guy then I'd also recommend you check out 'Chimp Spanner'....... and for something equally awesome but very different, Check out Twelve Foot Ninja!

[ladyphantom12giu]

beautiful job!

[Aaeternitade]

wtf morfelin is?

[shamerz7]

@Aaeternitade morfelin is a youtube channel that makes pre-workout videos

[Aaeternitade]

@shamerz7 thanks!

[shamerz7]

@Aaeternitade np :)

[cliffdannau]

niiiiiiiice

[MrFuzzard1]

that's not his MySpace

[raket94]

Fuck, this guy actually combined my two favourite genres :D

[JraphicART]

ear sex.

[xV3N0IVIx]

Thank you so much morfelin!!!!

[lindyshome]

WOAHOWW... LOVE IT!!

[jessesetsfire]

everyone has a role, the musician's is a very cool one..

[blackrook96]

Song playing: Damn! This is good shit!

Oh wait, there's a 480p...

DAMNNNNN!!!!!

[TheWomboCombo]

This is fucking brilliant

[Purpletatertots1]

discovering the discovery

[Dastreus]

Just found out these guys are from Columbus, Ohio. Fuck, I can drive there in 20 minutes! o-o

Guess Ohio actually does have something more than corn and suburban shit-holes.

[DiabloSVV12]

@Dastreus It's one guy...one guy.

[Dastreus]

@DiabloSVV12 Consider that a typo from amazement.

[jed52]

@Dastreus Its actually only one guy composing and he doesn't do live shows yet.

[artcellrox]

Should the title be changed, because this is technically Everything's Mirrors, THEN Viceroy.

[MrSwac31]

the Amon tobin of metal progressif!!!!

[thedirtythirds]

Too good, I love it so much that I hate it.

[TheSabatte]

So is there a way to get this album for free? Or do i have to make a donation on the bandpage? Please inform me ASAP this stuff is orgasmic :D

[ZombiesWerePeopleToo]

@TheSabatte he releases it for free on bandcamp, just put £0 as the donation

[WeyeMusic]

@TheSabatte

Yes, but toss the guy 5 bucks. Support him so he can make more!

[Donatuis]

one man project is cool... but it looks like he could have used some help on the album art



[AstraImperium]

@Donatuis LOL the album art implies more than you think it's actually brilliant. Bloody brilliant. Maybe you should shift the perspective you are viewing it at, because there is alot of depth to what he is saying with the simple display of the album.

[6EELZE6U6666]

@Donatuis I like the album art a lot

[trignite]

I can fap to this.

[Scottieonfire]

Screw porn, i just listen to this.

[breesyo]

Morfelin brought me here.

[Morfelin]

@breesyo

yes bro :-D

[tavojtatko]

Thumbs up for ZHASNI !!!

[vovinateloch]

Orgasm @ t=04:30

[illusionisticN10]

Unbelievable... Absolutely unbelievable...

[DahPurpleHippo]

This is two songs put together. Change the name!

[Draiman360]

epic guys, epic!

[walshy0001]

CHANGE THE NAME OF THE SONG! THIS IS EVERYTHINGS MIRRORS. Viceroy is a completely different song on the album.

[Wolfrocker101]

@walshy0001 Actually, it has Viceroy, he just played it in order as sort of an intro into Viceroy :P.

[marktda]

@walshy0001 it is everythings mirrors and then viceroy..i think you wrote before listening :)

[walshy0001]

@marktda

That's exactly what I did (: haha I didn't realize the entire video was 9 minutes long.

[JesusWasADerelict]

Cloudkicker :D... it's like a short shroom trip

[reanedful]

theres just something about djent and progressive metal bands, you know? That they just seem to enter my body and my soul and I become the music.

[SolidGoldEliteODST]

@reanedful

I know what you mean, it's like the perfect blend of chaos and calmness. It has a melancholic quality to it, but still feels alive. It gives Zen and consciousness (well, that's what I think)

[EilithyaBand]

 watch?v=hwySpkqByHQ check this band out :)

[loborneta]

wait isnt this "Everithing's Mirrors" ???

[lkaruga]

@loborneta Yup, I guess he took both songs and put them together, good mix imo.

[ESPJT]

@loborneta i think its used like an intro to Viceroy

[Sapratibh]

watch?v=rtYgzWdNmQE

[Hifcrea]

dam if you want to figure out your own life or realize crazy shit. drink a good amountthen blaze a good amount and you will have some extremely mind stimulating experiences

[silencerofsorrows]

"epic" would be the best word to describe this music..just pure genius and groove mixed with calmness and smoothing polyrhtyms..just awesome..

[leamo]

@nyktus I think its atmospherics,there's definitely crickets in the intro. I actually fall into a trance listening to this.

[bklyn977]

great music...and awesome band name!



[Nyctus]

cool song.. but anyone else notice some crackling? Listening to this particular video is a bit painful for my brain with headphones on

[leamo]

Without a doubt one of the most awe-inspiring tracks iv ever heard. So ethereal,so other-wordly,calming, magnificent!!

[Zilter]

Does it really matter so much what people call it? It sounds awesome!

[Omnerod]

Hey, the polyrithms is a progressive metal thing. The djent is only the addition of strong 7th or 8th string notes. But I think that the djent is more a specific genre of the progressive, than a style by itself. The djent has to be prog, but not all the prog is djent.

[Hifcrea]

omg fuckin absolutely brilliant. that soft begging and then comes in the solid djent sound. ive been listening to djent bands for quite some time. i cant believe that i just found this band

[ravenFF32]

@Hifcrea Wouldn´t really say this is "djent" at least if we take Vildjharta, Periphery and such to be Djent bands. This IMO is progressive metal, it´s focusing more on interesting melodies than in polyrithmic riffs. Nah, nevermind, djent bands rock, and this one-man band OWNS!!

[FranLesPaul]

@ravenFF32 yeah, this would be djent as in having a djent tone, but this is prog metal. whatever it is, it kicks major ass!

[notdacoolest]

thankyou meshuggah, misha "bulb" mansoor, tosin abasi, vildhjarta, cloudkicker, chimp spanner for recreating and bringing back the genius art of music writing in the present generation.......this world owes you guys a lot....\m/ god bless

[tehmudkipz213]

Put your headphones on,volume to maximum, close ur eyes and enjoy the song. Beautiful.

[Lijacote]

Why do people bring up Christian myths when discussing how bloody good music is? Be happy these artists play for you, and not for Jesus.

[cuteface114]

I love it when I don't have to change the song because it's as long as a tv show

[SkelpYourHead]

4:53 killer!

[bloodgauss1]

Did anyone else notice that the beginning to this is actually "Everything's Mirrors" and "Viceroy" is starts at the distorted section? O.o

[MusicalMikus]

@bloodgauss1 I didn't until I dl the album. The calm ending is also a part of a different song.

[Phergan]

You guys don't even know how suitable this music is for me.

I'm in the Norwegian airforce pilot education program. Every time I prepare for a flight I listen to this kind of music.

In exactly an hour I am up there - kicking the clouds!

[redkef]

@Phergan I don't believe you.

[Phergan]

@redkef Whatever man. It would be a really sad lie anyways.

[broncosnare2006]

This is incredible music

[PinealGlandInfinity]

this is one of those songs i dont want to end

[doggybag71]

First song I hear from this band (one person?) and I must say, it was kick ass nice discovery!

[Quadey1193]

falling asleep to this tonight

[derekd234]

I had this song in 360p. My computer is capable of 480p. Why do that? It somehow sounds even more badass in a lower quality compared to CD quality. I guess it adds to the chaos or something.

[Xediion]

wow,

i am in so much trouble for school

i got so much things to do

so much trouble with the teachers

this song calms my mind

i can clearly think now

[FireBomb100]

@Xediion I must say you have outstanding grammatical syntax my friend.

[aaron2414]

@AlexPrinzo ...just commented on the video, you sir are amazing!

[theferristhing]

@alexropo NO FUCKING DOUBT. this shit is absolutely beautiful.

[lilkoolaidbro]

is this a code geass reference? referring to the name lol

[Psyshimmer]

@lilkoolaidbro I doubt it. Code Geass isn't the only thing in the world to use the term 'viceroy'.

[flamesRules]

@lilkoolaidbro A viceroy is a governor of a country or province who rules as the representative of his or her king or sovereign

[TeaBaggins]

people if you like this stuff PLEASE give my music a chance on my profile!!!!

[angryheretic]

so i turn on the song

and i wonder where my nine minutes and 45 seconds went

they were spent listening to some euphoric shit

[Freedish911]

This music is so beautiful, words cannot describe it.

[8195229]

around 2:55 am i the only one thats a tool-esque sound with guitars. throw in some heavy reverb or delay and you got it is what i think

[HCbodom]

The first song of the year. Thank you cloudkicker!!

[n00beastSH]

sooooooooooooooo glad I stumbled upon this band/person. It/he's not on iTunes that I know of and this is just the kind of music I like. sometimes I love finding things I'm not looking for :)

[EnergonCubed]

@keithblabbermouth yes, but there is the quality of one's life til that day.

[OkJohnnyLetsGo]

2:01 onwards is the most emotional thing i've ever heard

[walshy213]

My favorite song, by my favorite musician.

[berts1405]

This song is called Everythings mirrors

[Rheainstoun]

@berts1405 + viceroy + seque :))

[JennVOGUE]

This would be my background music for an epic video of stop-motion or an animation video of the morning bowing down to the night and then there's an eclipse...

FUCK YES.

[That1ManDudeGuy]

Im pretty sure this has completely reset everything ive known as "music", this is so beautiful and i wud give anything to be able to write like B.M. Sharp

[420Sheffield420]

Look at the faggots thinking they sound cool by talking about brands of cigarettes..you are whats wrong with society. Bunch of bitches thinking its cool to smoke or talk about what brands are better. They all kill you in the end so when your 60 breathing through a tube, you will regret it.

[OmniDjent]

Reminds me of Devin Townsend's music... must be one of Cloudkicker's influences..No??

[TheAmazingKraken]

Is this band entirely instrumental?

[RyanCmetal]

@TheAmazingKraken its all one guy that makes it

[YouGottaLookKid]

Fuck cigerattes, Smoke some weed

[adoll000]

@YouGottaLookKid eat it.

[burtonkid0012]

@YouGottaLookKid I assume your implying you hear something more because your stoned?

[blueamerican54]

@YouGottaLookKid Learn how to spell "cigarettes" before you tell me not to smoke them.

[IDKmyBFFkongor]

@blueamerican54 Cancer-loving spelling nazi? Faggot.

[blueamerican54]

@IDKmyBFFkongor Hell yeah, half-faggot and proud.

[Easleytee]

@blueamerican54

Personally, I think you should continue to pollute and ravage your lungs.

[blueamerican54]

@Easleytee Good for you.

[ROFLFOSHO]

@blueamerican54 Im assuming hes trolling you, shame people like this exsist on youtube.

[AwesomeTurn]

.....let the djent....control me...forever.

[jawkster]

Cloudkicking my ass hard coz it's that damn good.

[kevwelyk]

If anybody would like a copy of the tabs I wrote out for the riff @ 2:55, email me and I will gladly pass them on.

[taxi911]

viceroy. The brand of cigarettes that I smoke ^^.

[smashadin]

@taxi911 haha yeah... ure gonna die :(

[taxi911]

@smashadin

DUDE!!! you guys have Viceroy cigarettes in Belgium?

[smashadin]

@taxi911 only on order xD belgium cigarettes suck so gotta improvise xD

[taxi911]

@smashadin

I feel the same way about Canadian brands of cigarettes, majority of them just suck so bad. Viceroy is one of the cheapest ones (yet it is the better one) so it fits my budget. But wow, I thought it was only a Canadian brand of cigarettes.

[hawenepu]

the beginning makes me feel sad :(

[hawenepu]

i've heard this song a good few times, and i just have to say damnit, whyd i have to listen to this drunk. it speaks to me without words, they're not needed i understand its so deep .. i gaze into nothingness with thoughts of being lost..

[Drummerboy6able]

Cloudkicker, Periphery, Animals As Leaders, and Scale The Summit = epic

[MetallicOpeth]

@Drummerboy6able man, if you like those bands, check out Vildhjarta. Their song Deceit is incredible :)

[Spleenfome]

is there any songs with vocals

[nikovalero]

sounds like "if these trees could talk"...its like ambient metal.....good stuff! 4:09-4:52 gets it done!:):):)

[SeannBrutal]

:| this is one of the best things i've ever heard

[CynicEidolon]

This just straight shits on Bulb/Periphery/Animals as Leaders... etc. Sure, they are great instrumentalists but, this dude captures the sound of energy. 

[Virus940]

@CynicEidolon Hey, both Periphery and Cloudkicker are awesome.

[ryan9312]

@Virus940 dont forget animals as leaders!

[Drummerboy6able]

@ryan9312 or scale the summit!

[jacosmith86]

@CynicEidolon Hey... Nothing shits on my 2 favorite bands. I get what you say about the energy thing though. This is most definitely my favorite Cloudkicker song. The intro to this nearly brings me to tears everytime. The "intro" is actually another song called "Everything's Mirrors", at least according to the track listing.

[jacosmith86]

@CynicEidolon @CynicEidolon Hey... Nothing shits on my 2 favorite bands. I get what you say about the energy thing though. This is most definitely my favorite Cloudkicker song. The intro to this nearly brings me to tears everytime.

[Drummerboy6able]

@CynicEidolon they are all awesome

[kklol0]

dont take it as a spam but guys might like Jakob or God is an Astronaut and all those bands linked to those video Hope u enjoy!!:)

[joewinkler666]

i can say that i agree with nothing, because my own fortutude will be challenged by an unending rush of cosmic energy if i can only accept it without any judgement

[Chickenwangzz101]

Cloudkicker is one of the only people who actually makes music that send chills throughout my whole body. Its a fucking awesome feeling.

[gavdaman88]

Man this song is amazing, empties my mind and all I can focus on is the song. This guy is a genius.... nuf sed

[unpalpable7]

this is bullshit, music this good NEEDS lyrics

[1230hagen]

@unpalpable7 lyrics would take away from the amazingness of the guitar.

[MetallicOpeth]

@unpalpable7 I can't say I agree man, sometimes emotions are better released without some moron lyricist with a bad voice ruining the instrumentals...take a look at the entire debut album by Animals As Leaders and you'll see what I mean ;)

[rexasul]

@unpalpable7 yeah, then you'd end up with the generic mess that is periphery. some of bulb's demo tracks were insanely good, throw lyrics on top of that, and you destroy it completely. some instrumentals are just too good for words sung over it.

[kklol0]

@rexasul you are totaly right i only listen to bulb's demo Periphery is the perfect exemple of what's NOT to do whit master peice like this

[Electrofarce]

@rexasul dont hate on periphery they are excellent

[rexasul]

@Electrofarce they're okay. Bulb is excellent.

[wojpiet]

Great music !! Love that !

[Pirateparty]

this would be awesome live

[JamesENGL]

I'm in love with the intro, the rest is really good but I feel that the intro lives up to much larger potential. I beg, if you ever make a touring/fully functional band, considering using the intro in it.

[JamesENGL]

@JamesENGL Don't get me wrong the whole songs amazing, but I can see the intro silencing crowds as big as download festival (70,000)

[CrispyHomeSlice]

Wow .......  :D

[death020792]

where has this music been all my life!? seriously!!? this is just mindblowing musicianship! this guy needs to be more recodnized for his beatiful work of art!

[LitliJon1987]

agree with jimnuge07. I get this feeling like nothing else is real , just me alone listening to this music , it´s AMAZING!!!!!!

[LitliJon1987]

agree with jimnuge07. I get this feeling like nothing else is real , just me alone listening to this music , it´s AMAZING!!!!!!

[bringmethehoryan]

This music is absolutely amazing. Every single song is so.. intelligently written. Idk how to describe it haha, but oh my god, this man is a genius. He has 100% of my respect as a musician, he should definitely be more recognized than he already is.

[sayrahfasho]

Where the hell has this music been all my life?! The whole album is so incredibly...relaxing and mindblowing.

[taproot3]

you are the best.its a sad song,,cheers from greece

[JovialEel]

The intro to this song sounds like something out of Earthbound.

[shiftdrummer1991]

Cloudkicker, Keith Merrow, Chimp Spanner and Travis Orbin should start a band together.
