Dark Tranquillity - Ex Nihilo

[HyPreA]

If you listen closely at 4:00-4:10 it's the sound from Zelda when you've defeated a boss. Mind Blown!

[feastingthebeastamon]

SeasonsOfBlue 5 minutes of nothing,

yes thats true but still the song its great :X

[Masterstv17]

Dark room... ex nihilo.... there is Dark Tranquillity

[AFiVicious]

best place 4:22 - 8:49 :D

[Cerberus1030]

reminds me of the shinra tower theme from FF7

[xThomas1995]

thumbs up even if you liked after 4:22 :P

[WitcherRage]

Whats on the picture?

[0ooscar]

@WitcherRage the cover of the album to which this song belongs

[WitcherRage]

@0ooscar i meant whats on it, but nvm i see now :)

[Cryptarchy]

Hearing this track many years later after the first audition, it still sounds just as good. It's amazing.

[thankGodforDavidG]

WoW this band is great, compares with the best !

[PsychoticButcher]

A true masterpiece.

[8P1NK15FloyD90]

great song

[scrofalone]

best song of DT 

[voidofdeath]

This is DARK TRANQUILLITY ♥

Among my fav songs (:

[marsu74]

One of The best Song of this Band. Il Like too Much

[Tahlz4life]

wheres this band from?

[nbrxhellraiser]

@Tahlz4life

Sweden...

Fuck I hate the fact that I live in Canada where any sub genre of metal is dead...

At least we have Europe to feed our hunger for metal...

[AntiDragonBomb]

@nbrxhellraiser

Im wid ya man

At least you don't live in toronto where everyone listens to crap and shithop or anything that sounds slutty

[YourRoadToHell]

@nbrxhellraiser theres obtenebris and the agonist from canada, just to name a couple

[Lenin2304]

@nbrxhellraiser Annihilator isn't a bad band as far as i know.

[Azria032]

@nbrxhellraiser You know, you guys have Archons, Kataklysm and Quo Vadis.

No bitching out of you, sir. At least your not from California, and the closest thing to this would be...iono, the Faceless? xD

[nbrxhellraiser]

@Azria032 I wasn't saying that we don't have bands from Canada... all I was saying was that metal is NOT a thriving genre in Canada as opposed to in some other countries in Europe or Asia !

[thecrouchpouch]

@nbrxhellraiser theres protest the hero and into eternity from canada...

[FluffRecordings]

@thecrouchpouch didnt know protest the hero are canadian... But seriously... DEVIN??? He IS Canadian metal. Him alone makes up for any perceived lack.

[majorblood87]

@nbrxhellraiser your a moron

[nbrxhellraiser]

@majorblood87 YOU ARE = you're... idiot. By the way learn how to read and then if you are going to flame somebody.... elaborate. Enough said moron.

[zoricakonstandinov]

what is the cover cd about

this is my fav album of all time

dt rock

[0ooscar]

@zoricakonstandinov the album's name is "Damage Done", and as you can see it's a person getting decapitated.

[zoricakonstandinov]

what is this on the cd

[zoricakonstandinov]

epic song love it

[voidofdeath]

Awesome! DT ♥

[zergrrr]

This video needs more views

[bighettym666]

this should be street fighter kens theme!!! lol

[YourMotherIsAWhore69]

Hey, I want to buy another DT CD (I already have "Fiction"). Which one do you guys think is best?

Thanks.

[asdfbobbyasdf]

depends....from haven till their new one we are the void naturally progress to one another. THeir first four though, Skydancer (dne with anders from in flames), the gallery, the minds I, and projector are all very different and dont really evolve into one another like the 5 albums that follow, but all of their albums have their gems and something unique that makes that album a work of art. All 9 have it and this band has ceased to let me down.

[XBillinatorX]

character! go get it now (if u live in mass get from newbury comics its 5 for shipping and it comes in about 3 days)

[Morgush]

Personally. . All of em =)

But this album - Damage Done is completely amazing!

[Kagemitsu888]

@YourMotherIsAWhore69 Well personally Damage Done is my favorite by them, however its one weak point id say which could be a deal breaker for some is that it has absolutely no cleans. So if u wanted an album with cleans Projector is the album that has the most however some consider it a bit out dated since its an older album of thiers so if u wanted something newer with cleans considering u have fiction id say thier most recent album We are the void would be ur best bet.

[ButcheredAtBirth77]

@YourMotherIsAWhore69 id say character or if you like old school melodeath go with the gallery mine is granduer and of melecholy buning are fantastic on that album

[TiduS4max]

@YourMotherIsAWhore69 character, damage done or the gallery

[Aaat0s]

From 4:30 and on

nihil comes..

[Gareann]

P'tain la quinte à vide quoi. LA PUTAIN DE QUINTE A VIDE !!! Y'a que chez eux qu'elle me fout cette effet là. Puissante, violente, sombre, imposante.

Enorme morceau. :)

[macsek90]

Szeretlek!!! 4ever Mi

[Gabrieh]

nihilo means nothing

ex nihilo means from nothing (or something like that)

in latin

nice song

[Qfic]

nihil* means nothing

[SeasonsOfBlue]

Hate it when there's 5 minutes of nothing lol.

[Koujinkamu]

What makes this cover's artwork so great is that so many interpretations arise from it...

[silversnakeseven]

Never really paid it enough attention to notice how violent it is before...

[PsychedelicShot]

Amazing Song, Amazing Band. And I'm not really paying attention to the retarded comments but this song and this band is the exact opposite from EMO. Emo music is un-evolved crap but I won't insult it as I respect other peoples taste for the most part... To a point.

And the Cover Art... All I know is that I see Alien in the red Parts of It.

[ShirayukiiMizore]

the cover art..to me it is a arm that is ripped off..and there's still blood sprinkling out of it

[markuseraccount]

@PsychedelicShot "un-evolved crap"...."but i wont insult it" lol

[Koujinkamu]

This whole album is stuffed full of awesome win!

[devalah]

I was referring to the music too, OBVIOUSLY :)

[djpetenice]

Epic on all levels. Extremely dark introspective thoughts come to me when I hear this. Apocalyptic in a way when the piano part hangs right before the break.

[devalah]

you brainless, eartard, somewhat conscious person - this sounds emo to you? actually...it doesn't matter..haha, you certainly know music, bro.

[SomewhatUnhinged]

because i was OBVIOUSLY referring to the music and not the person who said this song caused them to have "extremely dark introspective thoughts".

[derzemel]

emo is my dick in your mother's mouth... fuckin retard

[OperasyonBMD]

EX NIHILO NIHIL FIT.....

EX NIHILO latince HİÇLİKTEN demektir...

[Naildownrock]

i've been always thinking that someone shoots him on the ablum cover

[Hiragi]

oh shit, i remember this song, from an amv i saw, i was wondering for the longest fucking time what this song was, ty for the upload

[roflwhut]

looks like his head exploding.

[LordBess]

What does the picture represent in your opinion ?

It looks like a guy shot in the head to me.

[neoganja]

Ex nihilo means Out of nothingness

[antonioxtreme]

ESTA PIEZA ESTA BIEN CHINGONA!!!!

y al que no el gusta que chingue a su puta madre

[zm5431]

beautiful song. it really makes you think.

[Danelawz]

Such a poweful song, great stuff. 5/5 and fav no doubt.

[CornDoctor]

why does the song end at 4:27 but continue for 4 more minutes wtf??

good song though

[ILoveRavenc]

well they were both pretty much the creators of melodeath so i think they're both pretty equal but yes "a sence of purpose" didn't really turn out tht good.but other than tht i think in flames is still very good.

[YouGuDo]

i love IF, but i prefer DT honestly...

[Malifescent]

DT > IF

[lifehatesme11]

DT or In Flames, I cant decide who I like more

[cdiegor]

DT, obv :)

[IWillSexU]

children of bodom :P

[soadxxseetherrox]

DT beats all in flames after whoracle

[TheLongestSchlong]

Children of Bodom

[SinsBlessing]

At the Gates

Lol:)

[lifehatesme11]

Alexi Lahio is pretty good, but I think Micheal Ammott is better. But Ammott, Lahio, Fredrik Johansson, Glenn Ljungstrom, Niklas Sundin, etc. There all really good.

[SaturnineXTS]

Per Nilsson kills them all. Really. Alexi doesn't lay a finger on Per.

[lifehatesme11]

what band is he in?

[SaturnineXTS]

Scar Symmetry. remember that name well :D

[Entity0009]

Yeah Scar Symmetry's guitars are good. Don't like the vocals too much though.

[vasil222]

I totaly agree!!!!!

[Icrosver]

AMAZING¡¡¡ i think is my fav song of DT

and beast of burden :D

[gertie83]

You mean Feast of Burden i suppose? ^^

And yes they are both great songs but far from the best rly..

[soulvendor]

Reminds me of FF VII very nice. <3

[Icrosver]

I <3 this masterpiece

[333wraith]

Dark Tranquility is music many can like, love, and enjoy. unlike most bands where a majority begins to hate, like music with a vocalist you can't understand. Even i can just scream around on a mic and sound alright, but Dark Tranquility bring music into a new depth of perception.

[lulzir123]

One of the most amazing songs I've heard.

[seriousx9]

this totally reminds me of the FF VII soundtrack

[Nemesis0180]

Reminds me of the save theme from Resident Evil 1 the original and the REmake

[Kozak92PL]

Damn, yeah that really sounds like FF7 OST o.O

And yes, a little like RE Save Room Medley. But more like FF7 OST for me. I like this song, but the only thing that is missing here are Mikael's vocals. His voice is just so good...

[MrCairo44]

Have a question guys. I'm a somewhat new fan of DT and have the Damage Done cd, but my version of Ex Nihilo is very different and with vocals. Pretty much a normal song...not the instrumental that's playing here.

Could someone please tell me where this version comes from?

Regards :)

[encircledadnauseum]

This is the only actual version of this song...it's possible there might be a misprint on the album which could be confusing to you. The japanese release also has an extra song called 'The Poison Well' it may be that one.

Your best bet to figure out what song it is, would be to type some of the lyrics in a search engine and find which song matches it.

I assure you though, that this is the only release of 'Ex Nihilo'

[MrCairo44]

Thanks a lot encircledadnauseum, the song was actually "The Poison Well". I appreciate your help!

Truly a great band! (also just discovered Amon Amarth as well)

Can't wait for the new DT cd!

Best Regards

MC

[eierkneifer]

i agree with lagranputa666, dt earned the class MELODIC deathmetal! and everyone who says that dt is soft or those shit, can't listen really. without the melodic parts, its not the same^^

[lagranputa666]

Dark Tranquillity remains unique by always leaving strong emotions on their songs, no matter how fast they are!

[thekingandthequeen20]

that music touch my heart ...made me remember  my family i miss my family so much

[tonizoran]

if you live in florida you should know how to spell atleast. Without is one word, not two.

[DarkAvengerX7]

"At least" is two words as well, since we're playing that game now.

[Caturdayz]

Haha, nice.

[SpanishGem]

great atmosphere!

[Thomahs]

very nice..! :)

[jimana123]

Yip Laihokid666...definately one of the best voices in metal...and I should know...been thrashing for 22 years now

[DarkSsn]

nice

[Antoni0V]

Beautiful

[fuurry]

you are not alone But you guys are wrong..

[JesterColonist]

what do u mean by that?

[fuurry]

There is some people Think like scuicidal Athiest they say without vocal dt is better.. But i disagreed with that..

[ShredderXavier]

None of you are making much sense. There are people who like instrumental music. It's pretty much more refined. Like slang and old english. We use slang, but a long while ago, they used an archaic language. I guess I'm confusing alot of idiots.

Sorry if I, too, am not making much sense. I'll hurry.

Suicidal Athiest said that it likes instrumental. It doesn't like the voice. Don't be giving it thumbs down. That's pretty mean, if you ask me. Just let her enjoy it. It's her music, am I right?????

[fuurry]

am i saying any bad thinks ?

I just say You are not alone BUT i disagree with that.. Dt is Better With wocal...

Wtf ?~!

[LaihoKid666]

I love guys vocals, one of the best voices in metal...i think alot of people would agree.

[misery080]

meh Randy Blythe probably has the best metal vocals, Brandan Schieppati is also pretty good. Mark Hunter is also pretty good.

[asphixa]

i dont agree, i think to vocals of Aeon are better, hard vocals but still understandable or maybe the vocalist of divinity

[misery080]

meh Randy Blythe probably has the best metal vocals, Brandan Schieppati is also pretty good. Mark Hunter is also pretty good.

[Peltokorppi]

Great indeed my lidle friend

[Aapelus]

Great

[53131423]

Good music

[Mostafamtx]

Great music (^_^)(*_*)(^_^)(*_*)(^_^)(*_*)­

[bringthe80sback]

DT is cool. Relaxing, but metal. I'm talking bout this song. Let the fuckin person smile, do you care about it? No, so leave him alone.

[RatedRKingofKings]

Ex Nihilo made me love DT. What a melody, fucking amazing, the atmosphere that those first three notes that support the melody in the whole song can create. My god!!

[Rooster505]

DONT SMILE YOU FAGGOT

[bobbyfan418]

Hearing these guys makes me realize that good metal still exists.

[ikilledkenny1212]

This song rocks but y the fuck are people fighting over a smiley face? \,,/(-.0)\,,/

[EIghty3650]

:) smile.

[trillou]

aww, jerks talking about smilies lol >_>, anyways, Asom instrumental song, DT is a so freeky great band ^_^

[grosXconXquiXpue]

[grosXconXquiXpue]

[ICSVortex]

[grosXconXquiXpue]

If you like stupid pointless myspace teenagers smileys like that, good for you. Enjoy !

[ICSVortex]

Emoticons have been a way of the web since the dawn of time. Find something more productive to bitch about.
