Be'lakor - Neither Shape Nor Shadow

[haribharadwaj1]

Holyredmilkofthemostepicgoatsa­tan this is some good shit!

[shinderhizzle84]

I have the beginning of this song set as my phone's alarm clock. So, needless to say, when I wake up, every morning is EPIC!!!

[nishy969]

Makes me proud to be Australian :') and live in the same city they are from. I'd probably cry and/or faint if I ever bumped into any of them. Australian MDM's biggest asset!

[dhepermana]

LOVE !! Hey, each time I listen to this song, I wonder, isn't the rhythm guitar slightly out of tune (on the chorus) ? I suppose it's intentional and I find the effect pretty cool but the chords don't seem any canonical to my ear ;) One of my best songs ever.

[5150VanAlien]

This band has the potential to re-invent METAL! Stick to your guns boys, keep churning out music like this and who knows where you'll end up...

[PyongGears3]

I feel like the intro is full of soul and feeling.

This band is amazing!

[iSAUSAGE]

Reminds me a LOT of Amon Amarth, I dare they Be'Lakor are just as good as them.

[faalco17]

BEAUTIFUL BAND and SONG!!!!!

[xxZOMBIEincxx]

Oh an if u havnt watchd the live video... kill yourself

[xxZOMBIEincxx]

Y ppl find thing to hate bout this song is beyond my brains level.. greatest song in existence

[d3thron3d]

Vocals remind me of Chastisement at 2:30. Fucking awesome band!

[speared8]

Everybody complaining about this song needs to shut the fuck up. Music does not get more epic this.

[wexenhex]

would be better if it was mixed better and harmonized better

[d3thron3d]

@wexenhex Dude, get some better headphones / speakers. Coming through my Denon HP1000 the harmony is mind blowing.

[Frankyavalone]

Beautiful.



[SycamoreHill14]

I used to think they were boring too. I downloaded Outlive the hand and Venator and would lose interest easily. But then one day after school I actually listened to them. I was blown away. Their stuff is really subtle, but when you actually pay attention, you'll realize this is some pretty cool stuff. Now I have to save up money for my itunes account so I can get all their other stuff.

[NigStoleZomgbunnies]

boring.

the 'intense' moments are pretty low key

[ngaikien]

there're 2 buffalo ears out there !

[Aerumnae]

Be'Lakor is an example of what the music can do.

Sorry for my bad english xD

[taydify]

nice album.my favourite

[DevonHomeBrew]

this music is fitter thn boobs lol 

[missheavymetal1]

Incredible

[Malda123]

drums should be better, 2nd part of the song is much better, like from 4:50 or so

[FiqDuffel]

This song is SICK!!!!!!!! \m/!!!

[Voiceinthewoods]

talk about music Heaven.great Music.damn need more bands out like this

[Roffe192]

@Voiceinthewoods My best atempt to satesfy metalheads like you and me: /watch?v=ck_j-IWZDmU

[Voiceinthewoods]

talk about music Heaven.great Music.

[MrMichelinho74]

i've had the honour of seeing these guys live 3 times and they fucking rock...this song is an absolute epic...the two riffs from 5:41 to 6:38 are two of the most amazing riffs ever in my opinion...watch my cover of this song on my channel :P

[Pepperspizzas]

Just fucking epic, amazing, bone-crushing, face-shredding, b-e-a-utifully composed, created and performed.

That's probably not all... but you get the picture.

[zippie999]

well it's their dicision of liking music. but still.. how can u dislike this kinda genre, and especially this band.. they'r too good to be disliked imo!! :)

[igorcrazdog]

this song will move mountains...

[giorgos93]

thumbs up awesome band!!!!!

[MetalBassist555]

Intro reminds me of death slightly :P love this band, I haven't a song that I dislike by them so far. Very good!!

[anerce]

sickass intro riffs!

[CrowsofAcheron]

My local record store doesn't sell this band, fucking lamers

[Scarecrow545]

@CrowsofAcheron

Amazon.

[fatboy32539]

@CrowsofAcheron shouldnt be in a record store should be in an epic store.. duh everyone knows that

[f14birdy]

I'm left speechless every time I listen to another one of these songs. They are all different, but still amazing in themselves. Best band I have come across in years, and I'm excited as hell about it.

[FallenArcturus]

Two people rated this down,either they are idiots or they are simply deaf!

[geronimoswolf]

I'm listening to Hip Hop, Electro and co. But Melodic Deathmetal just rules!! Hail Be'lakor

[shadowfox1171]

@geronimoswolf queer

[xXBFMVxMetallicaXx]

Last comment was for nordrummer. Sorry for the mistake shadowfox1171

[xXBFMVxMetallicaXx]

@shadowfox1171 these guys are Australian so you will probably not find the Gothenburg sound in their music. I am not starting anything such as a fight but merely stating origin facts. I understand what you mean though. :D

[Dooomrawr]

vocalist is like amon amarth he is very good

[shadowfox1171]

2 dislikes? what....the fuck they must be justin beiber fans nuff said

[TheBrenskie]

Does anyone know a good place you can download their music at?

[eternitysfallen666]

@TheBrenskie go buy their cds xD downloading pfft whatever

[tyruval]

@TheBrenskie buy their cd

[666Hermann]

greetings from India! \m/

[Numbah1PotSmokah]

2:06 is when the magic starts to happen :D

[DevilOnHog]

1:00-1:32 so fkin insane

[andruwjonez]

best part has to be 6:53, amazing

[Ph0b0ssss]

2:20 , nuff said , godlike music

[andruwjonez]

woa... this is excellent

[hanssistevinter]

i've been waiting a long time ti hear something like these. they make me proud to be an aussie

[BaNnEdFrOmHeVeN555]

why are the best bands so underrated

[5150VanAlien]

The entire track is good however, the intro is nothing short of awesome.

[Agnes135]

Very Very good song.

I love when i find amazing bands like this.

it doesn't happen often!

the last band i found that i properly loved was Skyfire.

And that was months ago :D

[shadowfox1171]

@Agnes135 Try Dark Tranquillity-lost to apathy



[666TheDeathAngel666]

i hope that be`lakor are going to play next year on waken or sommerbrezze so i could see them live

[preatorantrax]

@666TheDeathAngel666 They played at Summerbreeze this year.

[Blissel]

@preatorantrax They won't be performing in Europe next year that's for sure. Right now they're writing new songs and should release a new album around November next year

[tacityrn]

i <3 oabbasi he is the god of metal on youtube

[Nightfall331]

great :) just great :) my son will have the name: Be'lakor <3

[ChappersLaNoCry]

@Nightfall331 Call him Ares instead.

[Nightfall331]

@ChappersLaNoCry okay thanks i'll call him george kosmos ;)

[ChappersLaNoCry]

@Nightfall331 What about Ares :'(

Nothing better than being named after the god of war, right?

[parkerbob99]

I talk to these guys about how my friends and I were covering this song

they actually responded to my myspace account and talked to me

very cool guys

one of the best melo death bands out there

[mrchaff]

AAAAAAWWWWWWEEEEEESOME BAND.

Just saw them finish their tour in the UK on Monday night in Exeter...ridiculously good live!

[XLightThisCityX]

EARGASM!!!!!!

[odeonthemagnificent]

great band great song...

hail from turkey

[TheMick779]

woo 24th.. U fkin K :PP

[MrMichelinho74]

check out my cover of it :P it's not perfect..but i reckon its alright :P

[dyingfetusrichie]

Be'lakor,Insomnium,Kalmah,Eter­nel tears of sorrow these bands music makes me happy :)

[parkerbob99]

@dyingfetusrichie

You have awesome taste in music!!

[dyingfetusrichie]

@parkerbob99 lol thanks bro. i know more good melodic death metal bands you might like them :D

[awia12]

lol its so easy to troll youtube

[Shinra3lite]

@awia12 Had me goin' for a while. Good one. Kinda thought it after the second or so post though.

[FenrisulfrAgni]

@awia12 lolz...you bastard. now i kinda wanna troll on lady gaga videos...lol.

[MrNickeh]

Go fucking Australia we have like no metal bands >.<

[awia12]

this is the best fucking tech death i ever heard

[FenrisulfrAgni]

@awia12 this isnt tech death. Necrophagist is techdeath. this is melodic death.

[awia12]

@FenrisulfrAgni this is fucking tech death you dumbass, necrophagist is deathcore

[FenrisulfrAgni]

@awia12 First of all....calm down. no need to flip out when someone disagrees with you. Secondly...you are wrong. Deathcore isnt even metal...deathcore and grindcore was created by a bunch of stupid kids that wanted to emulate their favorite hardcore and metal bands and fail horribly...necrophagist...is techdeath, im sorry but it is. This is Melodic death. if you actually listen to the music you will see. Another question...are you saying Amon Amarth is techdeath? cuz they are similar to this...

[awia12]

@FenrisulfrAgni no your a fucking idiots for saying this is melo death, this is no where fucking near melodeath you motherfucking turd. omg you are such a waste of fucking sperm for saying that, go back to elementary school you fucking idiot. This is mother fucker tech death, you idiot. Listen to that opening, tech up the ass

[FenrisulfrAgni]

@awia12 im not even gonna have this argument with you...you are dumb as a rock....you wanna prove me wrong? do some research you fuckin tool.

And im not talking about JUST the opening....the opening MAY sound tech death to you (it doesnt) the whole song is a melodic death metal song. Be'Lakor IS melodic death metal.

Necrophagist IS tech death...

also, before you even TRY to insult me...please, learn to use the english language properly.

[awia12]

@FenrisulfrAgni ya thats right fag go away cause you know your wrong

[Shinra3lite]

@awia12 I seriously fail to see how you can insult anyone when your rebuttal to an argument include the words turd or fag.

For the sake of this argument that I'm jumping in on, you're a fucking retard if you believe this is tech death. Gorod is techdeath. Necrophagist is techdeath. Neuraxis is techdeath. This is melodic death. It parallels bands like Dark Tranquillity.

Clearly, anyone who uses the words Necrophagist and deathcore in the same sentence without the word destroys in between

[Shinra3lite]

@awia12 cannot provide a sufficient argument for genres of metal. The next thing out of your mouth will probably be that Suicide Silence is thrash metal.

[awia12]

@Shinra3lite Oh you think you no everything, well guess what you little bitch, I got a B- in algebra in highschool, i aint no dumb bitch, this is fucking tech death, end of. your one of those fags that would even say marilyn manson is metal well guess what he aint, and this is tech death, go listen to saturnus for another tech death band you fucking turd

[Shinra3lite]

@awia12 Alright... you know what? I've come to the conclusion that you have down syndrome. Saturnus is nowhere near or even close to being conceivably called tech death. How bout you stick to listening to deathcore? K? Then you can be ignorant to metal and the other fans of deathcore will be too oblivious to realize how retarded you are.

[FenrisulfrAgni]

@awia12 who says manson is metal? manson is stupid...why would you even bring him up? You got a B- in algebra? how does that apply to knowing what metal is? You are a waste of life and a complete idiot...someone should put you out of your misery.

[mrcrapstick99]

@awia12 I'm sorry mate but this is not tech death.

[FenrisulfrAgni]

@awia12 and dont call me a dumbass like i dont know what music i listen to. fuck you sir, you know nothing.

[AureliusL]

Top 3 favourite songs of all time.

[waiting2die44]

why is all the australian metal i've come across just so fucking good?

[biologyfuckyeah]

now that's what i call melodic death metal - in flames, you guys better be taking notes!

[dryad85]

wow! after discovering Insomnium I thought nothing would ever compare. Insomnium is still my favorite but these guys are amazing!

[normajean77]

cé bon en criss cte groupe la !!

[00zardoz]

This brings me peace.

[CawSaysTheRaven]

You've always been one ov my favorites.<3

[DarkLordSithis]

Just read about this band for the first time on metalstorm, in a review of there last album. Decided to check there myspace out and got blown away. Awesome band. :)

[DDRazorback07]

These guys rock! Be'lakor rule. Awesome melodic death metal band. Only small, but up there with bands like insomnium etc

[xRizlaKingx]

Amazing. Enough said.

[yoryovkorne]

fucking amazing!!!!!!!!

[nordrummer]

This song is the greatest fucking song I've heard in a loooong time. Be'lakor is the best Melodeath band out there today, and it's a damn shame how little known these Aussies are... The should be on top of every hit list.. But alas, those are dominated by that lame "hip-hop". They don't know what they're missing. This is music at it's finest. Those riffs send chills down my spine every time. Godly.

[WheelchairAccessible]

@nordrummer I don't know about the BEST, try out Insomnium if you haven't, I believe Be'lakor is equal in my books.

[FenrisulfrAgni]

@nordrummer Yea i agree with you wholeheartedly. The fact of the matter is people cant look past the growls...they connect it with something demonic or evil. It intimidates people...and sometimes they cant understand the lyrics...but if people would take the effort, most of the lyrics are quite meaningful...and ARE NOT evil. People dont understand what talent is...now talent is who can use AutoTuners the best...the only thing that beats metal in required talent is classical...i.e. Beethoven.

[FenrisulfrAgni]

@nordrummer Moonlight Sonata the 3rd Movement is aGREAT example of what im talking about. if people would just LISTEN...they will know what true talent is. And Be'Lakor displays this flawlessly with such elegance.

[shadowfox1171]

@nordrummer No, lol, they're one of the best, but i think Dark Tranquillity has that title bud.

[nordrummer]

@shadowfox1171 Dark Tranquillity is by no means bad, but they have a more traditional Gothenburg sound about them that you don't find in Be'lakor. At least that's what I reckon. So which band you prefer among them all comes down to personal taste I think. If you are a big fan of the Gothenburg-sound you will find DT to be superior. Personally I like Be'lakors sound better. I've grown a little tired of the Gothenburg-sound though I still listen to "The Red in the Sky Is Ours" by At The Gates :)

[nikthedick123]

@nordrummer what a beautiful band indeed, and what a beautiful way to describe them.

[Lekiwi33]

@nordrummer to be honest i think its better that melodeth is less known, and metal for that matter. were it popular, many people would do it just for the money. the harder they strive to spread the word across, the sweeter result. metal something not everyone understands and is thus a gift. the people who give their lives and efforts to give people this gift - i worship them. hopefully i can do the same one day. let metal live on the way it is \m/

[xzidez]

@Lekiwi33 what kind of bullshit is that? I don't care if people do it for money or not. As long as it's this fucking awesome I'm going to listen to it anyway. And if people do it for money and it sucks, I wont listen to it. And if more bands were doing melometal the chances of getting more awesome music would increase, regardless of why they do it

[mysteryrocker123]

@Lekiwi33 i agree, metal is fine just the way it is......minus a couple of metalcore/hardcore bands :)

[Malda123]

@mysteryrocker123 count in deathcore and other fashionmetal styles

[Malda123]

@nordrummer i know why they dont listen to it, bcs you have to learn it,, and then your prize is the best style of music there is

[Disturbed684]
