Apocalyptica - Betrayal Forgiveness

[keiichiSmith]

awesome song is awesome

[Edgersify]

Tu Polacy ! Przejmujemy tą piosenkę !

[Jidieich]

The sreaming sound is created by playing with the bow on the part of the strings that is between the bridge and the tail( the bright-brown wood piece that holds the strings up and the black plastic piece at the bottom of the cello, respectively)

[MizzPricey143]

great minds, great creativity, great music, I am in love baby!

[S3lvah]

Yeah, the "screaming" sounds very much like cello screeches; doubt it's human voice. Apocalyptica already proved you can replace guitars with cellos in metal, so I wouldn't even be amazed. :p

This song is amazing, like virtually every Apocalyptica song with Dave Lombardo on the drums. But what else could you get when coupling awesomeness with awesomeness?

[belladepadella4]

@S3lvah if you look at the live you see that is the cello... they are amazing!



[CesaRVendettA]

and great ending, shit how i forgot this song! haha

[CesaRVendettA]

powerful song yep :)

[matuszospisskej]

we should reserve more time for our forgiveness ... even Apocalyptica

[kooliodude99]

sounds like SLAYER!!!

[MegaAntification]

@kooliodude99 Hell yeah!  It helps that Dave Lombardo is the drummer on this track!

[HDXCify]

See that quivering mass of jelly over there in the corner? That is my brain. Now I can listen without interruption...

[metabolic0513]

Pure Poooooweeeeer!!!!!!!! in all the ways!!!!!

[ThatGuitarChick]

This song makes me think about the guy I am dating. Except the nice and pretty and calm part at the end... not sure that will exist unless this guy stops breathing. lol!

[Zemoch93]

i like the part where they rock the chello :p

[XxAmdisxX]

I liked the lyrics. To bad I didn't understand anything in this....

[templetheory]

@XxAmdisxX Music isn't about lyrics.

[XxAmdisxX]

@templetheory People like different parts of it, thanks. I read and liked the lyrics that go with the song. Gotta problem with that?

[TheReprogrammed]

I love how this song truly conveys the feeling of being betrayed and then the serenity of forgiveness afterward, however long it may be.

[johnjhl]

Favorite song. I wish Apocalyptica would make more heavy songs like this.

[woodythewoodchuck1]

How come in the lyric booklet for this CD there are lyrics for this song?

[VTheDarknessAngel]

@woodythewoodchuck1 they're not really legible but you can hear a voice between 1:18 and 2:35

[woodythewoodchuck1]

@VTheDarknessAngel Oh i heard that! i was wondering what that was. but yeah now that you mention it it sounds like a distoreted voice

[EnterOrion1]

Four people never found forgiveness . . . .

[Ramzee93]

wow, I just had goozebumps for 8 seconds when connecting the word "forgiveness" to the last part of this tune :(

[nikos111s]

I crashed everything in my room until 3:52 and then, I cried for what I did... ;(

[FinalAnimus]

@nikos111s for me it was my bunny.

[bankaimstr]

What does Satan have to do with Apocalyptica? o-o

How the hell did that topic even come up?

[StAnarkyh]

@bankaimstr Dave Lombardo Is Drumming, And Slayer Is Pretty Satanic

[bankaimstr]

@StAnarkyh THAT'S why? Geez, some people..

[Afromanjb]

Dave lombardo !:D He's just a beast...

[StAnarkyh]

@Afromanjb Dave Lombardo = Win.

[amr0915]

@TheSatanwarrior Why are we discussing things like this. Just enjoy the music.

[zauzakeking]

anyone notice some slight screaming? I do 

[metalrazor02]

@zauzakeking yea me too, always wondered what he was saying, if he's saying words at all. ^^

[xraccoon]

@zauzakeking the cello is crying out of anger

[belladepadella4]

@zauzakeking it is actualy the fourth cello that plays very low :P

[belladepadella4]

@belladepadella4 but gives an impression of a slight screming... SOOOO EPIC!

[TheSatanwarrior]

Learn the truth. JOYOFSATAN,COM

[bellystraw]

@TheSatanwarrior you learn the truth God is the way to go not Satan

[TheSatanwarrior]

@bellystraw Give me imperical scientific effidence on what you say is true. I will listen. This should be good. Because where would the wind come from?! It has to come from some spook blowing on the earth. I guess you fit in with the other 4 billion morons on the face of the earth that think so.

[TheArchaiz]

@TheSatanwarrior WELL just using common sense if there was a Satan odds are without some antiSatanic force the world would have fallen into darkness long ago :P

[musicmama888]

@TheSatanwarrior if the earth was either 1% closer to or farther from the sun, life wouldn't be able to exist. it was put in the perfect place to support us.

I'm a science major. God's gonna kill Satan one day, and you'll go down with him.

[TheSatanwarrior]

@musicmama888 O like I have never heard that before. So by giving your self a fake title to make your self feel important over basic information. So your a science major that believes an invisible Spook that hovers in space is going to kill another invisible force. O yes and we all just appeared here and Dinosaurs were here for oil. Lastly the earth is flat. If there was a spook like figure may he kill this individual before he destroys society.

[TheSatanwarrior]

@TheSatanwarrior I have heard you reply to my messages before. You say the same thing over and over again and it never makes any sense. He is just a spamer who should think and then shut his fucking mouth. I will not go into the trouble of even replying to this deluded individual.

[Neithie]

@TheSatanwarrior So are you a Satanist or a atheist?

[speznazporkchop]

@bellystraw AMEN

[Afromanjb]

@bellystraw 

[robtikan]

i have just been to the royal theater and watched some ballet to The Unforgiven, Sad but True played by apocalyptica, and Deathzone, Betrayal/Forgiveness and farewel also by Apocalyptica, it was the most beutifull i have ever seen.

[MissKarinFilth28]

perfect :D ♥♥♥

[dunlrock]

fuck why is apocalyptica so amazing?!?!

[bbeboutuaa]

@dunlrock One reason they are so amazing is they are the most original band to come out in a while. I mean metal with 4 cellos. Who else is doing that? No one. And if anybody tried everyone would say they're not apocalyptica.

[XxLudwiGxX94]

Dave lambardo is fuking badass!!

[fawkes20]

this is brutalllllllllllllllllllllllll song , amazing is like a fight of your mindddddddddddddddddd and exploted in one second fuck apocalyptica rulzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zz

[Zepheriot]

This is the most brutal thing i´ve ever heard. my brain blew up!!!

[shirtlesszigfee]

hello masses of commenters. I know im kind of "breaking my own rule" here, but lets stop talking about everyones problems(you can do that somewhere else) and start talking about THE ACTUAL MUSIC.

[IzakiHaruza]

@cpretartedmuch You do realize this guy is just trolling. Every hate comment against him gives him his sense of win. Judging by all of your reactions, I suppose he wins. Good day to ye all.

[saintswitchblade1]

<---- Rips the dislike bar off the screen and beats @cpretartedmuch with it to death.

[yottanuclei]

I hate this song.

[Madrias357]

@yottanuclei Then don't listen to it.

[yottanuclei]

@Madrias357 And how am I to know if I hate it or not prior to listening to it? Would you rather have me tell you I hate it without listening?

[Madrias357]

@yottanuclei I'm sorry, I had mistaken you for one of those people who shows up on a video for a song they don't like and says something like that. I jumped to conclusions before thinking it out, mostly cause I've seen so much of the "I hate this (insert video reference here)" or the "'x' people obviously 'z' because they disliked this video" crap.

[csvanquishftw]

@yottanuclei go suck on a demented baby

[keyser66guitarist]

Hard to believe that's not a guitar.. .fucking metal \,,/

[randomstuff53]

apocalyptica is truely one of the best musical groups in the world.. the fact that they were able to make such a great sound from chellos is truely amazing and makes me envious of the chello. its safe to say that I really like this group lol

[lonasunde13]

@randomstuff53 Absolutely agree. But it's spelled Cello. I'm not trying to be rude at all, I've just played the cello for 3 years and it's a small pet peeve of mine.

[randomstuff53]

@lonasunde13 I understand that ^^ sorry for grinding on your nerves lol I'll try to do better and spell cello right next time

[Armedrainbow]

Ah the amazing cello :3 such wonderful music to my ears...but I'm going to learn how to play the violin even though the cello is good to play too :S

[Freizusein]

WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE SONG 3:50 - 5:13 Is the same??

[mistWalker66]

@Freizusein Its the same song - the first part is "Betrayal" and the second "Forgiveness".

[Freizusein]

@mistWalker66 :( thanks dude

[rockfan143]

they play guitars too?

[Freizusein]

@rockfan143 NO, JUST PLAY CELLO

[Getorix]

I can't believe cpretartedmuch is trolling on everything rock. What a waste of a life.

[Phlippieskezer]

Perhaps a bit long, but sheer epicness.

[Metal6Angel]

3:48 !!!

[crismaryjag]

It has that rythme to make u bang your head continually during the entire song

[Askedleopard]

Does anyone else watch Metalocalypse? That's what this song made me think of.

[ScottishPrideable]

@cpretartedmuch That's the shadow of a cello, genius. Your name is quite fitting, at least you got that much right

[Kerpalownzyou]

@ScottishPrideable Its actually a hole in the ground with the shape of a cello, genius.

[ScottishPrideable]

@Kerpalownzyou I'm glad you figured out it was a cello. Good job.

[prosketer]

@cpretartedmuch

seriously?

your sir is an idiot

[HeavenWolf108]

@cpretartedmuch

So you're saying that guitars have tail pins on their bottom like a cello does? And looking at the hole, that's one fat ass guitar. That would be pretty hard to play while it's strapped to your body. And look at the top of the "guitar" shaped hole... the neck's hardly there. It looks like the guitar's neck would only fit in your palm with no movement up or down the neck possible.

Look at the silhouette of a cello and a guitar side-by-side, and think about your failure.

[ShadowNeedsAHug]

@cpretartedmuch lol No

[rocooak]

@cpretartedmuch LOL DUDE UR CRAZY IN DA HEAD, AND IF U WERNT RETARDED, U WOULD SEE THATS NOT A GUITAR IN THE GROUND DUMBSHIT.....AND IF ANYTHING GANGSTERS WILL KILL THIS WORLD, THERE THE ONES DOING THE SHOOTINGS, AND SELLING DRUGS, UR AS BAD AS HITLER, SEPT I BET UR GAY AND HAVE NO LIFE,

[nomoreyou1212]

@rocooak nothing wrong with being gay D:

[rocooak]

@nomoreyou1212 ye true, i made a *gay* person sound like they were bad people, lol i got nothing againts em though....

[SVDDavidson]

@rocooak Hitler was gay... stupid.

[barakc92]

@rocooak Stalin was a lot worse then Hitler, you dumb shit.

[rocooak]

@barakc92 im not good on my history smartass

[SnowWhiteQueen29]

@cpretartedmuch For one thing, that's a cello. Another thing, since when were guitars a sign for metal? POP music uses guitars nowadays, fucktard. And yet another thing, YOU are what is foreshadowing the future, my dear. It is not the metalheads, but the idiots who will tear the world apart. Stupidity is contagious, don't you know.

[madhatter4850]

@cpretartedmuch You need to GTFO.

[stevekiddo]

Dave Lombardo is a Beast ... He makes this song sweat epicness ...

[pudding231]

this song sounds like a screamo type thing. just sayn. but this song is freakn brutal. >:)

[FUCKlovepornogRind]

Dave Lombardo es el mejor!

[XkobyX]

Wow.. A new band to liscten to when i get board of pantera.. really do enjoy the notes they play, not many bands these days have great brutal metal beats, and if they do.. there sprinkled with screams of young children being analy raped by a bat.. yes im saying it.. " fuck screamo..

[Mikeweeland]

@XkobyX

I like sum screaming once in a while XD but that just made me lol

[moku4]

yeahhh!!!!!!!

[5EKHMAT]

Heard this song yesterday and got addicted.

[curingaging00]

this completely debunks any anti-metal troll who says "metal takes no talent"

[MakaanKar]

got to love how there is 0 guitars in this and pure cello

[InuRyutheDiegron]

Sounds like an awesome video game boss fight music.

[RageMinkStorm]

@InuRyutheDiegron That's EXACTLY what I thought, before reading your comment!! hehe

Apocalyptica = the Sex!

[royalsteven]

Yeah it's pretty safe to say that this song rocks. it rips, it shreds, it blazes, it explodes. Metal up your ass. They are a really good band.

[diadane85]

@royalsteven Yeap, pretty safe bet

[Hidenbehindblackhair]

@royalsteven best comment ever

[royalsteven]

Maybe it wasn't, but thanks anyway ahah :D

[KondratkoKid]

@royalsteven I especially like the Metal up your ass part. It made the whole comment :P

[royalsteven]

I agree :D

[Damonjager09]

Amazing! I love these guys, their music is just so awesome.

[madmanulin11]

The song sorta reminds of the reminds of the day i ran away

[Neithie]

This was 2009 for me. Makes me want to cry at the end, as I realize it's over.

Tonight 2009 ends and a new start begins. I've had enough.

[sgthunter09]

don't do it you've got so much to live for!!!!!

[afslayer]

@Neithie Cry more. Ever try 2009 with muscular dystrophy, i think not. You have NOTHING to complain about.

[Neithie]

Like I said, we all suffer different things. One person's suffering is not comparable with anothers suffering, and that's the beauty of music. It will reach you and not compare you.

[FirebirdSinging26]

Go Apocalyptica! And go Perttu... :)

[VampiresArentSparkly]

At about 3:58... OMG!!! There's seriously noting they can't do; it's hard to tell those are even parts of the same song!

[MushuPork13]

Making a soundtrack to Hamlet for English class... this and Farewell are definitely going in there.

[VampiresArentSparkly]

Their song Peace has always reminded me of Hamlet

[disg0rge]

please tell me your mark, after presenting it:)

[munchkiwoo]

in my personal opinion about this band , ive never been to see em live ive never considered myself a fan of them , but from what i have listened to , they sound like a very passionate group of musicians with a very powerful sound, personally i preffer their softer stuff it creates more of an image in the mind , but i really do think this band could go places, i think they are very under rated personally and people should give them a chance to prove themselves

[Phlippieskezer]

Actually, I think they're perhaps the most famous band without lyrics there is...

But, I've also only started listening to them recently, so I don't really know.

[BlondeSakana]

well...what's that professional orchestra that does all those songs...i can't think of their name...bunch of holiday music

[tigercat4596]

Transiberian Orchestra?

[BlondeSakana]

yeah them and there's another one

[unitard08]

christmas metal symphony? it has simone simones (epica) and a bunch of symphonic and power metal bands get together and tour every year during the holidays?

[chechanfighter]

THIS IS AWESOME STUFF....

[grassieb]

To be able to actually portray the abstract concepts of betrayal and forgiveness (to REALLY succeed, even without the lyrics) like this is just unbelievable. And it just blows all comments anyone has ever made about metal not taking talent, or not being suitable for "merging" with other musical genres, completely out of the water. This piece, and group, are just awesome.

[Rabauwds]

five stars- becaus of the last minute.

[syren345]

win

[Zomgninjapirates]

One of the most brutal songs I've ever heard...

I seriously hope Apocalyptica makes more songs like these...

5/5

[nightshadetheexorcis]

for cellos. this is brutal.

[asdlkadfguihajladsf]

where can i find only the part from 3:54 ?

[Pringlesplox]

you could just download the song and edit it to how you like.

[pourtalo]

woah! epic!

[michiganfan8300]

It's great because Dave dave Lombardo did the drums.

[No16229A]

Awesome song. But where are the lyrics?? I found a tons of sites with lyrics for the songs, yet I don' hear any words in this song....

[BanditDragoon]

to be honest i like the song without the added lyrics cuz i find lyrics boring now.

[operah143]

that´s coz some of 'em are covers

[No16229A]

No, meant for this specific song. Tons of lyris for this song, but I never heard singing on this song... Are there like another version, not instrumental?

[operah143]

its sepultura i guess idk

[TokichanReturns]

Listen closely from 1:18. There's growling in the background. Those are the lyrics. The cello takes the melody, which is almost unheard of for a song with lyrics.

[WritersCoven]

I can't find one Apocalyptica song I didn't like.

[emisizzle]

fuckin kickazzz :)

[MushuPork13]

This song is amazing. Perttu has such a raw, amazing talent. I wish I knew how to do something like this.

[Neithie]

It's beautiful... the pain and anger and ugliness of betrayal, but then the beauty of forgiveness... even if it's overpowered, it's still there and still beautiful

[AnjoDun]

I very, very seldom comment but this is so good I just have to say, MORE, More in this theme, raw, expletive, and conclusive. LOVE THIS !!!

[ShredmasteRsl3]

3:52 -

EPIC

[uchika93]

fuckin awesome

[whoischeesy]

holy shit

[janniz92]

jesus christ!

[royalsteven]

No, it's Apocalyptica -_-

[octavio2200]

Yes are apocalyptica ..... I see apocalyptica in live and plays this song

[DrowningPoolDude]

Lombardo did a great contribution.

[Mastobater]

this is some of the most beautiful yet brutal shit i've ever heard

[2metal2rock]

Oh I jsut love thei song LOVE it especially the enging. it's so damn good

[metalmilitia86]

I LOVE this song. I should play this at my violin recital...though it won't sound as heavy as the cellos. haha

Anyway...one of my favorite. Always loved Apocalyptica's instrumentals. :)

[Cazayia]

Hearts of burning hate

the blackest of nights

in one's soul

with anger to salvage from teh

ruins that are my heart.

As I wilt in the shadows with the evil that

seeps into my heart.

[hellokittybitcheroni]

Glance without affection Kiss without sensitivity Promise without comprehension Love without hope I do not remember my own tale Betrayed by my anger Betrayed by my delusions Betrayed by my lust (I wish) Strength - to be released from my demons (I desire) Wisdom - to forgive the past To forgive me

[hellokittybitcheroni]

Words without meaning

Touch without feeling

I do not recognize my own face

Eyes that were once shining

Now extinguished

Left only a silent cold

Sound of a tear falling down

In the desperate hour of loneliness

This shattered heart reaching

For it's relief - the relief it cannot find

[hellokittybitcheroni]

here are the lyrics: All that I ever wanted To understand my nightmares Possessed by my fears Betrayed by my pride Alone I wandered in the deepest dark Seeking comfort from the vanity Each time I escaped the real My soul died, died a bit more Confronting the evil within Praying for my angel to appear Agonized whisper into the emptiness Begging for salvation - salvation for this cursed mind

[ToLiveIsToDie1990]

i just found out that Dave Lombardo is drumming here

fuuuuuck yes \m/
