[Nabilpiero]

[Vladaemir24]

This song gives me chills...:)

[doommetalphysicist]

This is an such epic song!

[Njiekovic]

I, singlehandedly, must be responsible for 95,000 of the views this song has. 95,001 soon.

[CLAU260459]

Tout simplement fa bu leux !!!

Un ami metalleux m'a fait connaître et j'en suis tombée raide en écoutant... ça vous prend aux tripes, c'est entêtant, ça met en transe.... une merveille ! ♥

[OriginalShadowZero]

it is hard to believe that this video only gets thousands of views while Justin Beiber gets millions

[amorhisfan]

I can believe this hasn't gone viral. Tuomas Saukkonen is a genius. I love all his music. Absolute talent.

[abcshopper]

This song kicks so much ass that when I look around our home, there is absolutely no ass left to be kicked because it kicked it all. All of it. Every piece of ass has been kicked by this song.

[Bryceman21]

He was born for metal

[unsc60]

Awesome!

[xVergilx199119911991]

Saukkonen is one hell of a musician and vocalist. I think he just won Metal.

[timoluetk]

Wait...that udes drumming too? man he´s a Legend check out before the dawn if you havent done that yet

[asator777]

@timoluetk and don't forget about Black Sun Aeon, another great band of Tuomas!

[muhunen]

@timoluetk he was drummer for a band called Bonegrinder. I think that shirt he wears is their logo. He also plays drums in The Final Harvest and several Before The Dawn albums. I don't know about his newer bands but probably he plays every instrument in those too :D

[muhunen]

@muhunen check bonegrinder - poster boy

[robmlisanti]

Superb ! I just discovered this band wow!~

[edderjoab]

[Germaani69]

Thouse growls they speak directly to your soul.

[jacobhetfieldjim]

what's the bald guy's name? hats off to him.

[guyra3]

@jacobhetfieldjim It's Mr. Tuomas Saukkonen!

[Suffer2contrive]

We need to convert the rockers and the emo's to the darkside before it's too late

[AleksisPelli]

@Suffer2contrive

No we shouldn't, they should be exactly be what they are. Who would want everyone to be a metalhead?

[samGVann]

@Suffer2contrive let these mother fuckers where they are xD

[LIMUORTTUJ]

This video reflects all tuomas talent!

[Battossai3000]

there are only two members on this band?

[giorgiomusticaa]

There are technically 3. However, Tuomas (the one playing the instruments), records all of the instruments himself for the albums, including drums, guitars, keyboards and some vocals. The other two are used for clean vocals and playing instruments during the touring sessions (Lars Eikind and Jukka Salovaara)

[Yo0te]

@Battossai3000 It's the singers from Before The Dawn, they start this band becuse song like this didnt fitt Before the Dawn songs.

Check them out, really awesome!

[MetalPersian]

are there any tabs/ sheets of music that are available for this song?

[jaddy13]

my arms can´t carry the weight of the world anymore

my mind won´t worry about tomorrow

my heart won´t feel sorry anymore

[CuriousOnlookers]

I've always thought that the true test of a good metal band is actually the quality of their acoustic work.

If that's true, these guys are the fucking elite.

[TzernohSyeme]

one-man-metal-factory <3

[Heppe2k]

amongst tuomas' great project, dawn of solace is his very best ever. such great music

[musstakrakish]

Thats awesome how they focus in the drummer!! I love drums!! <3

[melodeath95]

@musstakrakish You heard Zonaria's Drummer?

[Anze491992]

That guy is a genius!!!!!

[Planetrain666]

from a bottle of whiskey--- drunk as fucking swedfinish and my arms fucking acking bleed dead air, love a from 6 am killd by b.........

[Dieccast]

wats with this band?thomas and lars from before the dawn ?

[jacobcl]

@Dieccast Toumas did song that he didnt see as Before the Dawn songs, so they created this band for the songs

[Synthetic1706]

An absolute perfection. Tuomas and Lars are simply the best possible combination. No matter if it is Before the Dawn or Dawn of Solace.

[Creep187SAas]

maybe good music like this could help kill justin bieber!

great band i just got to listen to for the first time!!

[melodeath95]

@Creep187SAas WHY!!!!! Why does everyone always mention him, Hop off The popstream.

[DemonKingBrago]

finally...quality...could somebody bring me a bottle of red wine??? o/

[BassMonkeyRush]

I've been listening to this song for a while now, and I still get chills at 0:56

This song transcends awesome,

[BLASPHEMY85]

thi is very very good!

[theorioles33]

This is some really good shit! Glad I stumbled upon it.

[666ligeia]

I love Tuomas....**********

[lionrock3]

3:27 teh guitar melody is really killing me, and when he starts growling he blows my brain and ears

[wiccan1404]

Air to breath, water en food en music like this is all i need to survive, Thank you.

[lionrock3]

speechless rhythm and melody, i love this song, it suppose to be for BTD I think

[Heppe2k]

Three years since my first comment on this one. Still can't stop listening to this album. One of the best albums I've heard in my life. So atmospheric. Pure genious.

[stiannb]

tuomas saukkonen and lars eikind are both amazing musicans

[lancenava]

I love them... que grandes son, tengo todos sus discos, me encantan

[SagjerProductions]

Guys can anyone help with a tablature or something?

[PoisonGirl1717]

fucking epic

[Futil3]

His piercings are badass

[misssmokealot]

first time listening awesome!! 10 up

[MetalPersian]

Tuomas Saukkonen. wat a guy.

[thelinuxer10]

You could have just posted the link ;)

[Njiekovic]

Actually no. YouTube doesn't alllow links to be posted in comments. Try it. ;)

[orknip]

You got a nice site goin'.

[DevilOnHog]

amazing song

[slayer1944]

F*cking Awesome!

[DepressTrigger]

Awsome video!

[Josephcico]

I never see only a guy playing all the instruments in the same song. Awesome!!!

[Njiekovic]

Look up Disarmonia Mundi from Italy. They have 2 singers and one guy (Ettore) to do all the instruments and backing vocals. They're an EXCELLENT band!

[TeroDahl]

aint disarmonia mundi's singer swedish..

[Njiekovic]

Depends on which one you mean :P

Ettore Rigotti does all the instruments and backing vocals

Then Claudio Ravinale takes on vocals together with Björn Strid, who is indeed Swedish and also the singer of Soilwork, Coldseed and some other bands.

[Asael090]

@Njiekovic yea, Bjorn's just a guest artist

[CuriousOnlookers]

@Josephcico

Really? Should check out Lunatic Soul - it too is just one guy doing the instruments and vocals.

... Also, Owl City. But that's not so much something I would reccommend. =P

[epledeig]

any tabs for this intro?

[Floweth2192]

Tuomas, you ROCK!!! make some new stuff soon....

[Sindory]

I love all bands that he plays in, so much feeling all the time...^^

[cupair]

Something which gives you 'creeps'. Most affecting band of em all.

[lassegronsberg]

And he also plays in the band Before The Dawn <33 anyways, this song, u have no idea how it is to listen to in the morning, nice wather, a cold fall, just makes my life and moment here in norway just perfect...

[th3n3wc4d]

that is one talented musician.

[Verodwen]

Truly amazing...

\m/

[Shinodany]

*_____________________*

[SangirBloodLine]

this is not epic...much more °_° i'm fallen in love X_X

[CApokides]

Respect

[LinneaLondonGirl]

Nothing else cannot be said about Tuomas, he truly is musical genius!! Very powerful song.

[Swiinetheguitarist]

Love tuomas <33

[ardanell4686]

Wow! Great song! I love it!

[Redrum4409]

it's a sad sack world when mcr and nickelback have millions of views and this doesn't..

[Higginsonje]

True that.

[reuld]

@Redrum4409 so fcking true.. i im in love with this song

[mlautner03]

....i have a sad sack

[AleksisPelli]

@Redrum4409

Yes, it's an unfair world, but I would'nt want everyone listen to the same bands as I do. Well many, but not everyone.

[super00141]

@Redrum4409 yes this song is good if not better then those bands. but they dont seem to market mutch. as fr those guys did. so they get the more views.

[wolfsbane107]

Its so simple, yet so emotional and sets a dark atmosphere. I love it.

[AkatsukiGhost]

metal genius!

[demonsgate66]

tuomas is a Mastermind of Metal

Great respect

[Nayoko67]

@demonsgate66 Sorry I have to click the bad it's not -1 but +1

[andershoeren]

@demonsgate66

...but at the best with the voice of Lars!

[Ripjaw57]

@demonsgate66 Dude, before I did my research I thought Lars was the one runnig the show but I was dead wrong, Toumas is the lifeline.....I am actually inclined to think that he stands on the same pedestal as Christian Alvestam in terms of both talent and achievements, no Joke. 

[demonsgate66]

@Ripjaw57 i 'm always waiting for the new Dawn of Solace album . I trust Tuomas for the inspiration . The mix between Dark and Clean voices is perfect . The same with Before The Dawn . Darkness forever

[Ripjaw57]

@demonsgate66 Same here bro, Toumas knows what he is doing and you can tell that he doesn't settle for less, he is all about quality and form....this is exactly what I look for in my taste, it's just perfection when I listen to his music.....like U said....Darkness forever.

[demonsgate66]

@Ripjaw57 for me "Ghost" is the perfect album of Before the Dawn . with Dawn of Solace album . Dark , Melancolic , Heavy and Melodic . Underatted artist .

[digitalmichael]

This shit is beyond epic.

[kettariX]

Wow

[AkatsukiGhost]

is this a one-man-band???

looks like the bald man plays all instruments??

[daykilling]

Yes.

Clean vocal singer is from Before The Dawn band and Tuomas Saukkonen has an another one-man-band: Black Sun Aeon.

[Flozik]

Yeah, its one-man band :-) Tuomas (bald man) is great multi-instrumentalist. He is also play in band named Before The Dawn. Man in cap is Lars Eikind - bass player and clean vocalist of Before The Dawn :-)

[Vembumees]

He also has a band named Black Sun Aeon.

[mostharda]

great song !

[vikingkommando]

ganialne!

[Camthaleon]

Seriously one of the best music videos of all time. It's so simple, but damn, great lighting, great shadows, decent concept. I love the lyrics. I remember getting this as soon as it got released.

[adventce]

OMG

both of your attempts at simplistic intelligence amuses me you think that by using big words you challange each other im not being mean or anything but you guys should really know that if you are smart you cant judge music by your thoughts but by what you feel

do you know what death metal is

ANYTHING THAT DISTURBES ANYTHING THAT BOTHERS OR SIMPLY REPREMENTS YOUR MIND IS ART AND BY THIS MEANS MUSIC

[CorbenikTheHarbinger]

Amuses you?

It would seem you missed the entire point yet you assert I possess simplistic intelligence.

I pointed out that music has no universally accepted standard of measure by which to measure other songs to determine what is good and what is not. I also stated that in hearing a song, you can only determine if you LIKE IT or DO NOT LIKE IT. People just assume whatever they do not like "sucks."

Hopefully, this simplification will allow you to understand the matter we were debating.

[NuReflexion]

i know exactly what ur saying..but i respect alot of music even if i dont like the sound of it! i respect bands and musicians that make music that has somethin that deals with a legitament point in life! i respect bands that arent just in it to make some bucks! i respect bands that stand out among others! but at the same time i have my certain genre of music i like to hear! but only ppl that really are into music know what is good music! but i know a good band tho even if i dont like their sound

[gczyzowski]

great band!

[UnaBombaH]

Well, I would say that Master has a point, when he talks about the vocals: I think they weren't good at all.. But what the fuck did Hayabusa mean when he said "how disgusting you can describe death"? You say harsh vocals are disgusting, or what?

[HayabusaNoTsuchi]

He said they weren't brutal enough because they don't have enough screaming.

[zetsushoren]

sex blowjob

[Master898]

Before the Dawn is just as bad a band as this. This is the kind of a song they play in the Voice -channel or MTV in a section called: It could have been good..

[HayabusaNoTsuchi]

Are you seriously talking shit about this band?

[Master898]

I'm just saying that in my opinion they are not brutal enough. Rather than doing pure vocals (that by the way sound like pop-singer or Jonas Brothers) they should concentrate more on harsh vocals, which failed to impress me in this case.

[HayabusaNoTsuchi]

They're not trying to be brutal, you moron. Music isn't about being "brutal" or how disgusting you can describe death. It is an insult to music in its entirety for you to say that clean vocals are automatically Jonas Brothers. You're the most closed-minded person I've ever met in my life. Don't fucking compare this to Disney's pop bands, ass.

[Master898]

Says you, but let me make one thing clear to you: I typed IN MY OPINION, which obviously means that I only wrote what I feel about this song. And correct me if I'm wrong but at 4:05 one of the guys starts singing with harsh vocals. I understand your point and I admit being unfair with my comparison, so let me rephrase that for you: they sound like Bullet For My Valentine, which is a band listened by teenagers with total sadness in their minds and knifes hanging from their wrists.

[Zookooru]

What the hell is wrong with you? Stop comparing this band to bullshit bands. The crap you're saying is so unbelievably idiotic that I can't even respond to it in any way other than calling you a complete dumbass.

[Master898]

I wonder why I am comparing this band to bullshit bands. Oh, now I got it: maybe its because this band is bullshit! And thank you for your mature participation. Calling me dumbass really changed my opinion about this band and most of all its fans. So bravo mister, well done.

[CorbenikTheHarbinger]

*Yawn*

another internet troll that thinks his opinion matters... It never fails to amuse me how someone can continually say a band sucks yet return to make so many posts particularly when I suspect that you do not turn down the volume.

Just another teen brat that feels music (metal in particular) must be about the growling and eating of babies.

The concept of variety has clearly eluded you and perhaps intelligence. You like harsh metal then listen to death metal and the various other options.

[Master898]

I do like harsh metal and I do listen death metal thank you. Now due to your high intelligence-level you obviously have concluded among many other things that I would reply to this message.

BUT if you think that I'm a brat teen that thinks music is about growling and eating babies you unfortunately have been mistaken. I like metal / rock whether it's Rainbow from the 70's or Wintersun. I only tell what I think of the band and if I'm being judged by my opinions I reply :D

BTW, song still sucks!

[CorbenikTheHarbinger]

You were judged be means of reasoning/intelligence. Your dislike of this song/band if of no consequence.

You are attempting to pass opinion that the "song still sucks" as a fact.

That is indicative of the simplistic mindset you have that prevents you from asserting that you dislike the song or it is not your taste. You rather impose your misguided analysis on the masses.

Continue with your trolling as, I assure you, a source of amusement you will certainly prove to be.

[Master898]

Now as we both know, music is a subject that contains such elements that nobody can agree upon. Therefore it is impossible for us to reason our opinions and taste of music in general.

I have stated before that what I write are only my personal opinions. Now I don't know if its a fail in presentation or you just haven't read them, but I understand at least this much: no facts can be made when talked about how good music is. There are only opinions and that's what I'm giving here.

[Master898]

Oh.

And I'm happy to provide you amusement as much as I possibly can :D

[HenkkaPotku]

GTFO, this is an amazing song.

[41numberofthejosh]

can we all just get along?

[CorbenikTheHarbinger]

I think we can once some idiots accept that Metal does not have to involve harsh growls, talk of death, or some other stereotypical BS like eating babies.

Too many people try to categorize/structurally outline music instead of just simply allowing it to be music.

[dmac187]

True that man.

Seems as though anyone that doesn't like a certain Genre or song say "It sucks". Shit is ridiculous.

But yeah, all music is awesome. Otherwise it wouldn't have been made, it all takes talent.

Well, besides for Soulja boy. But hey, I guess there are enough idiots out there to listen to that to make him rich.

Such a shame when good music doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

[HayabusaNoTsuchi]

God, what an incredible composer. This song is so haunting and melodic and beautiful and perfect, I'm going to run out of words before I can come anywhere near adequately describing it.

[Aivoruhje]

Those freaking wings look awesome on tuomas. first when you think.. angel wings on man... naah.. :D tuomas fucking rules!

[hellgirlzz]

if any of you guys know ware i can get this song/ albom thats wood be grat but i dont want to spend cash

[zetsushoren]

oh cool... i also like getting my music without having to spend money... hmm... i'll send you the link in a comment i'll put on your profile...

[yannara]

Fucking amazing. It represents every side of Thomas the genious! :)

[inflamespwn]

maybe it sounds like before the dawn because it pretty much is before the dawn... same guy writing all the music same vocalist...der

[TuhottuViha]

pure perfection

[GnomeOfDestruction]

sounds exactly like before the dawn..

Tuomas Saukkonen is fucking unique in worlds metal!!!! He deserves all the respect from the metalhead hordes! \,,/

[Kr1stoffer2k]

This simply isn't what you call "music".

This is far more, this is magic.

[slojnaja]

супер заряд(!) позитива

чуваки приезжайте к нам в Киев, я с большим удовольствием сходила бы с мужем на ваш сейшн... Мало, оч. мало таких как Вы... респект (!!!)

[shadow46and2]

[SnDxSilverxMoon]

I totally agree with you my friend. He's really fantastic, unique.... And love is new album Soundscape Of Silence from his other band/project, Before The Dawn. Keep up the good work Tuomas! Greetings From Portugal

[TSavageGenocideT]
