Anata-Downward Spiral Into Madness

[UcanbeGOD]

Great arrangements and a nice blend of tech, speed and mood.

[legofilms4fun]

This is what I call original.....very well done!

[ixsetf]

this has some very interesting fourth species counterpoint in the intro, I don't think I can name another work that uses it so heavily in all of music. Btw I'm talking about the riff at 2:55 too.

[JayJapanB]

@2:55 one of the best riff I've heard. Not a super huge fan of the rest. It's still cool but that riff is fucking amazing! Maybe I just need to warm up to the rest.

[jpkontreras]

3:00 playing with my mind

[EvisceratorBand]

See, THIS is creativity.

[ixsetf]

the japanese are probably fairly confused about the band name as it translates to "you" in the more polite form in japanese

[jamzales]

these dudes kick fucking ass

[ThePatin35]

to jest najlepsza nuta jaką słyszałem z technical black metal!!!

[Kajtek666]

@ThePatin35 gdzie ty słyszył technical BM? to jest tech death metal i to najwyższych lotów!

[wakawakaluna]

Anata is my name waouhh!!!!!

[cldrules]

@wakawakaluna I'm jealous.

[wakawakaluna]

@cldrules Do not be jealous it's my first name but it is not so extraordinary



[wakawakaluna]

@cldrules Do not be jealous it's my first name but it is not so extraordinary

[anormalnick]

This is one of the bands of my life..

[H2Zman]

this reminds me of like Arnold Schoenberg-death metal. lol and ftr Oceano isn't bad for a core band imho.

[TheCrackedBrick]

Slap that solo! \m/

[MrPurulent]

<Death Metal, la ley

[awesomolopolis64]

<3

[CyanideSovereign]

2:58 Brutiful

[atomicfart78]

This sounds like gorguts' obscura album especially the vocals.

[TrepidationUK]

Check out our attempt at an Anata cover in the video responses. Cheers guys.

[Masuchievo]

Technically great, Not my kind of metal :S

still the guitars are great, and this fellow has a great grunt

[Puppybutcher]

very sick.

Look closely into Europe heavy scene and find awesome metal.

Look closely into America's heavy scene and find Oceano...

Sad

[Dpiiiius]

@Puppybutcher im not even going to actually reply to this ignorant comment.

[Puppybutcher]

@Dpiiiius I'm not sure how it was an ignorant comment, but you did just actually reply.

[Dpiiiius]

@Puppybutcher No I did not actually reply. I technically replied, but i didn't actually reply by refuting your illogical statement.

[Puppybutcher]

@Dpiiiius A second reply and still no explanation to why my statement was illogical. I believe it made perfect sense, and was certainly not meant to be taken too seriously...

[Dpiiiius]

@Puppybutcher It was illogical because there are very influential and talented American bands and Oceano was horrible example to represent America's entire "heavy scene". And btw no hard feelings, I'm just saying the statement was illogical.

[Puppybutcher]

@Dpiiiius No, you're absolutely right. It was more of a joke than anything. I would, however, expect to find many more shitty bands similar to Oceano in America than Europe.

[Dpiiiius]

@Puppybutcher Lol, now that I definitely can agree with.

[kalebyay]

@Puppybutcher haha im sure you would be surprised. shitty metal bands is a worldwide thing. fuck it lets jam some anata

[VinceVonVicious]

@Puppybutcher I agree but that's because "core" music is strangling the metal scene here.

[Mzee1084]

Now this is more like it. A lot of time changes but not that fast and chaotic crap like Origin and Brain Drill.

[deathdrummerr]

@Mzee1084 did you just use Origin and crap in the same sentence? not impressed bro

[force39osborn]

@Mzee1084 I think Origin's first album was their best. Clean and crisp production, precise drumming, interesting riffs, barking, and less wank than the other albums. Not a fan of Brain Drill either.

[0kenyk0]

anyone know when their new album is coming out?

[kurdtkobainrocks]

ANATA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man i can remember driving on the highway to work, smoking a blunt with the heat on full blast, my face feeling like melting but it wasn't from the heat or the 50s i was smoking it was due to me having this song beating through my system. Anata is also some freaky ass shit to trip to. You have to be a true metalhead to listen to this on shrooms though but if you love metal as much as i do its fucking awesome. So many memories this band fucking rules!!!!!!!!!

[YouTryna]

@kurdtkobainrocks duuuude. shrooms + anata is soooo fucking great, i'm glad that someone else out there has experienced it :D

[metalfan0099]

Gosh! this cover picture is amazing. And the music is even better.

[SHREDDER222X]

First time i've heard this band!!!!

i fell in love!!! :D

[TheSadocarl]

my infernal gods these guys are fucking SICK!

[tuulenkoti]

LOVE ! why dont they have a facebook account??

[nero6342]

@tuulenkoti they do

[TheSonsofHorusx]

america needs to stuep up our game shit this is good lol

[bloodyrockfire]

very accurate and skilled sound these guys seem to have;afterall they're from Sweden.Much talent comes forth from there.I'll be making some time to check some more tech death,I assume it's worth it

[DXGirl927]

my boyfriend's favorite band right here, and i love this band also myself =D!

[ATtTheGates]

@DXGirl927 See that's what i'm talking about, my fav band too, not enough people love this band, what the fuck has happened to them? Alhough I think something may finally be released in 2011!?! Dream Tour - Anata, Gorod, Psycroptic!!! DO IT

[DetSomEnGangVar95]

@ATtTheGates haha dude im her boyfriend small world!!! i fucking love anata!!!

[DetSomEnGangVar95]

@ATtTheGates I actually have the only shirt they made with a guy holding a tree its amazing!!!

[DetSomEnGangVar95]

@DXGirl927 HI BABE!!!

[DXGirl927]

@DetSomEnGangVar95 HI LOVE <3!

[simplysamsam19]

they're good. old albums are way better though, its unfortunate that every deathmetal album released after necrophagist's "epitaph" and the faceless' "planetary duality" has to have this jazz/prog twist on it. why does everyone have to hop on the same bandwagon, ya know? what happened to the brutality and evil in deathmetal?

[Fluffypopcicle]

@simplysamsam19

are you kidding me? what about decapitated's organic hallucinosis? that was as evil and brutal as any death metal album i have ever heard.

[Paco666metal]

Very nice¡¡¡

[THEHIGHHORSEMAN]

I JUST GOT TURNED ON TO THESE GUYS.............SICKNESS!

THEY SOUND LIKE ALL OF MY FAVORITE BANDS ROLLED INTO ONE.

[chiodos132]

151 people went into a downward spiral into madness. 1 person is just fucking stupid 

[Doodorz]

@chiodos132 lmfao

[choganskateboarding]

@chiodos132 Haha, freaking crazy song!

[caush1993]

beautiful tech death! <3

[unhallowed45]

1 person fucks goats..that's all i"ve got.

[Nvelopmusic]

@unhallowed45 What if fucking goats is a good thing?

[jdavidson091]

2:57 This riff is so incredibly eargasmic every time I hear it... oh god yes... yes... more... MORE!

[taxi911]

@jdavidson091 i know, eh/ you can just fall right asleep to it...

[DeathTheBride]

why noboby knows this group???

they should be at the top of metal scene...

and this cd it's perfect!

[Doodorz]

@DeathTheBride Because they'd sell out like every popular band has.

[TheNednerb]

SICK .

[IJW85]

this is so far and away the best death metal band in the world right now. Their next album can't come soon enough. I need more of this. luckily their riffs NEVER get old.

[sswayne88]

pulled this shit up on slacker radio at work on my blackberry. this shit is badass!

[CrispyHomeSlice]

That is one original ass sound. C: !

[vjr1113]

at first i was like wtf this is shit

by the end i was inspired and joyed

they just saved metal for me

[anyrock22]

GODS, this is like what chuck would be writing if he were alive, but it still sounds so unique these riffs give me chills

[gleegin]

@anyrock22 Chuck from death? I'm not sure what he has to do with this band. Explain please.

[anyrock22]

@gleegin well this has a big death influence thats why I mentioned him.

[Cinerary]

@anyrock22

Actually this band is more influenced by Morbid Angel as far as metal bands go... they are also heavily inspired by prog and jazz if you want to get technical (lol).

[75zxQ]

@gleegin I was wondering the same thing.

[mrlongley]

i just raped myself to this...

[BOT210A]

I just came..

[MrBlukron1k]

new album coming soon hopefully

[mikor7878]

@MrBlukron1k hi

what you know about new album?

[MrBlukron1k]

@mikor7878 i wish man but they need to remake childrens laughter

[p111SC]

This drummer actually plays drums, unlike drummers in a lot of lesser DM bands that just interpret DM drumming as randomly banging the drumset

[KULTofABCD]

at 2:58, I CLOSE MY EYES... THINKING WHAT I'VE DONE THE PAST DAYS

[slaughtered777]

@KULTofABCD I remember all the beautiful shit thats happened in the past lol.. fuck yeah, Anata owns my soul!

[TheEyesofaThousand]

these guys are sick its ashame that their not getting the proper recognition that they deserve.

[Miittle]

Haha, I've already bought the CD! =D

[Kazmirzk]

@Miittle me has the whole discography \o/ \o/

[intivism]

Nice... just fucking nice.

[1Laughingman]

the philosopher was an mtv video

[uniqueleader666]

i just recently picked up these guys and they are sick

[educoehua]

FuKin EpiC!!!

BruTAl Band!!!!

[Xxskullfucker420xX]

the word 'hail' is translated as being submissive to something and letting it completely control your life. Fuck that. Dont 'hail' anything

[RenzXVI]

why the hell need to suggest other bands???

we are in an anata vid arent we??

end of discussion........ HAIL ANATA!!!

[shadowxryu]

i understand why people would like cc and also why they would hate em..personally im a big fan of the music but not so much on the vocals,but i do enjoy anata's vocals and music, i also like gojira they take a progressive route to death metal. if you guys are interested in any doom bands check out October tide for those who haven't heard em.

[abhijithtk]

my fav anata song.. :) :D :)

[edirislas]

@abhijithtk check out let the heavens hate

[xaveinISking]

Anata is one of the best death metal bands ever and they deserve a larger fanbase than what they have i cant even find their albums in places like hot topic the only major retailer i know of sells or at least has sold anata cds is fye. that sucks because anata rocks and they could be the next cannibal corpse or morbid angel cuz their so fukin awesome

[bce5150]

don't they have a new cd coming out in 2010?? I agree they're one of the best death metal bands ever - creative, technical, brutal, original.... and those fuckin drums

[w1ckerman89]

thats because hot topic sucks dick and anata probs said no thanks. i can get their albums from pretty much anywhere over here.

[PunksDeadEmoK1dsN3xt]

The next Cannibal Corpse??? Is that a good thing? I would hate to see Anata on Mtv. Why do people like the pop-and fancy stuff? This is Anata, what you see is what you get. And their fanbase is huge for an underground band. Let them stay that way. We don't want them to become an overhyped band.

[paegun]

yah whens the last time fuckin cc was on mtv

[dilaudud]

@paegun were they really on mtv? i missed that one. anyways, they are popular cause they're good. plus they didn't go all fag like and join the mainstream crybaby scene like too many have done. i don't listen to much cc anymore, but only cause i spent so much time already. besides, if not for them, i never would have become prepared to go to the next level, like spawn of possession, origin, viraemia, anata, etc. anata is like zepplin, lots of weak crap but made up for with moments of perfection

[TheJackass347]

@paegun when was the last time any good musician was on tv?

[sneasalmaster]

@TheJackass347 They played Kreator's Betrayer on MTV in... erm... late 80's? I dunno, I wasn't alive then.

[QuentinT96]

@xaveinISking They don't need to become the next anything, they are the first Anata.

[insekticide]

finally got myself a copy of this cd. :)

[yishto]

Amazing shit. They are like Technical Melodic Death Metal :P

[lobyte]

@yishto if you like technical melodeath you should also listen to arsis (ifyour not doingthat already:) )

[shadowxryu]

@yishto i can see where you got the melodic part, its very cool and more death metal bands should do that

[Cinerary]

Anata derived their name from the divine Indo-Persian terrestrial entity Anahita, or in Roman tongues, Anaïtis. Her divinity was said to be extracted in the form of water and pure life.

[Cinerary]

Was this hot-linked to 4chan or something? Awful lot of music leeching /b/faggots around here.  Try supporting good independent artists for once, cocksuckers.

[Lootroq]

oh god this is fucking sick!!!!!!!!

[RenzXVI]

id die if i dont listen to this at least once a day.......

[evilived]

We are all enslaved by mind control techniques!!!! \m/ \m/

[zetsushoren]

That album art is hell to make

[lstop1day9243]

Anata is the name of an Egyptian goddess of war according to metal-archives.

[hampstershat123]

just found out about this band, sounds like a mix between decapitated and kataklyzm... i like it

[resh0m]

doesn't sound like decapitated nor kataklsym at all man

[FearOfNapalm1]

a bit perphaps .. nor really, but thats a good thing to sound like dec. och kat. doesnt deserve thumbs down!

[Acent2]

Hail tech Death hellyeah!!!

[largemoose]

Lyrics definitely sound like they're about Scientology.

[MrJimsGaming]

Lol indeed, now you mentioned it xD

[brendanfode]

I don't know why you got thumbs down, it is about scientology.

[3l3ctr1cFun3r4l]

or the most other religious groups

[bce5150]

whens the new cd out?!

[ROCKO633]

I just threw up in my mouth a lil bit!

[lindkvist79]

i´m a friend of the old drummer in this group... he´s name is Robert Petersson, and lives on the west coast in sweden, close to gothenbourg ;)

I cant tell if it´s him playing in this song, but he´s fast :P.

[RenzXVI]

tell your friend that he should send us here the albums.........

[synax444]

yeh hes not drumming on this album :) i think he only did infernal depths... damn good drummer indeed!

[sikksicsix]

That´s Conny playing

[metalking87]

we need to get these guys to the u.s.a.

[drzip1993]

What a fking messed up song.

It's beautiful

[engage7632]

Very deep, solid, and emotional album. Just great shit from Sweden.

Amazing lyrics.

[XxSconeManxX]

God damn, I hope they tour after the new album comes out. I would kill to see them live.

[nemesis233]

3:24 - 3:33 fuckin amazing...

[RootOfChaos]

fuckin amazing... "anata" means "you" in japanese btw. haha

[Hytski23]

Anata was also an egyptian goddes, where the name really came from :)

[Thundermaned]

It could also be a kind of rock. Anata is Swedish for some kind of rock I found. It is a very special rock, so it actually could be that. But it could also be from anatomy. But I guess yours is the real reason.

[Superstrings]

anata is also japanese for "yours" i think....or belonging to you.

[lstop1day9243]

Anata is japanese for "you", not yours...

[zetsushoren]

Anata daisuki desu~, lol j/k hahaha

[lstop1day9243]

lol, i'm not the only weeabo who listens to death metal, haha.

[zetsushoren]

Guys, don't feel this troll, he's made of fail

[slaughtered777]

the riff at 3.02 is so sick!! so twisted yet beautiful!

[Conzillla]

im likeing the album artwork.

[ninezones123]

this is like ultimate man!!! kickass chuck would be proud

[SaltatioMortis1992]

KILLERSONG ^.^

[brutaldeathmetal01]

ORGASM TIME!

[LifelessInborn]

You wish to achieve total freedom

Freed from aberrations

But the delusional contents

Of the subconscious mind

Are instead brought to the surface

And presented to you as truth

So your state of "total freedom"

Is nothing but a state of mass paranoia

says tooo much....

kick ass song

[chopperfoto]

nice drum patterns, childrens laughter instrumental is awesome too, this band pulls out all the stops in the backline

[6Metal6Mayhem6]

This bassist is so siiiiiick

[xicpxaintshitx]

HEAVY FUCKING METAL!

[Thundermaned]

Aye sorry, my bad.

[PeeHoleMcGee]

HORNS WAY UP...

Love It.

[GothicMaidenX]

not bad acutally

[tenstripjustice]

the drummer is very precise and isnt scared to play all styles of metal...perfect!

[jaredowty]

What an underrated band. Their riffs, composition, and technicality combined with a melodic feel makes them unique.

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

god i love this song

[bloodymetalcore]

nice love em.

metal rules.

[SlaktadOchStolt]

Iread the lyrics and then checked with Schälin, the song's about the church of scientology.

[tacityrn]

You wish to achieve total freedom Freed from aberrations But the delusional contents Of the subconscious mind Are instead brought to the surface And presented to you as truth So your state of "total freedom" Is nothing but a state of mass paranoia A vicious and dangerous cult Thrives by exploiting its victims Enslaved by mind control techniques Downward spiral into madness (Lead: Schalin) Enslaved by mind control techniques Downward spiral into madness

[tacityrn]

the lyrics on the side but here Manifestations of eternal spirits Confused souls of murdered people Infesting our bodies Yet so bizarre You dedicate your lives to exorcism Indeed, you're the chosen elite Of this universe A vicious and dangerous cult Thrives by exploiting its victims Enslaved by mind control techniques And with a mission to sweep aside opposition

[hevy77]

WTF IS HE SAYING!?!?!?!?

[Person009]

Description box.

[tacityrn]

my fat cock likes ur moms ass
