  • ¨the perfect album¨

  • OMG Don't people listen to the lyrics before judging ????

    even if the title is "God is dead", the lyrics are for Christians !!

    The song is about God, who to humans that he is pissed off and don't want to deal with us anymore, because we don't deserve him !

    I think there is a real (a very topical) message in this song ! A Christian message !

    READ ALL THE LYRICS NOT ONLY THE TITLE PLEASE ..AND APPLAUSE THE FINAL NOTE OF LUPPI !!!

  • THe final note, the A#5 is unreal...

    Luppi is fucking awesome !

  • i refer this album and i refer 25th hour album too D'Best!!! power metal i heard.

  • mabuhay vision divine ..... vision divine is unique vision divine is awesome vision divine is GOD.... hailzzzzzzzzz motherfuckers!!!!!

  • the disliker loves brutal death metal...... and i hate brutal death............ death metal only i suggest.

  • fuck who put dislikes! they dont appreciate this kind of music!

  • best album the perfect machine and another best album is the 25th hour.... i like the old vision divine from luppi but we know that fabio is the real vox. of vision divine..

  • Awesome bass line.

  • this song is delicious

  • Luppi es de otro planeta.

  • @powerslavex6 Cierto; él es Dios *w* Nadie tiene una voz como la de él T_T

  • Most Underrated Band Ever!

  • This is not an "atheist" song, in fact, is like the own God tell us that He is done with us, becouse our arrogant way of life and that Science is our new god ... if you read the whole lyrics of this album, you'll realize :)

  • @hejeval777 Oh my God now i understand God is furious with the human beings, i can see clearly now and the song became even more powerful because of your explanation, mmm, reflecting deeper i'm afraid God is getting tired of us. Mmm it is prudent to start cleaning my teeth, lend a hand to my mother's daily tasks and pray so much more, yes yes, i'm going to change my life today, now i can seeeee Thank you hejeval777 wherever you are i'll be grateful forever, GOD BLESS YOU

    P.S. i'm serious

  • @hacecafe God isn't real.

  • wtf

  • I don't believe in that thing people call god, but if it exists, this is the song it would sing in this times...

  • this song make my blood BURN!!! awesome song

  • I wonder how many fundementalists and evengilicals get offended my this.

  • I heard my name « GOD »

    I'm here miserable worms, beleive in me or not, whatever!! salvation is in the metalhead in you, no where else !! why do you think that jesus had a long hairs ?? because he's a metalhead!! can you really believe that a guy who can change water to wine isn't metalhead ?? Rock is not the devil's work, it's magical and rad.

    to finish, why do you think that jesus did nothing when arrested ? he wanted to make the first black metal show with his death, all martyrs did too!

  • Typical atheists thinking that saying God can't exist makes it so.

    Hollow arguments sound so much wiser dressed up in pseudo-intellectualism.

  • Well guys, thanks for the many comments, but I guess the most of you never read the lyrics ( that's the bad of nowadays: more people listen to your music,but the majority of these didn't ever take the time to READ what you're talking about).

    Judging a song from the title only it's quite wrong, in my opinion,especially when the title is NOT telling the real message of the lyrics.

    Thanks again anyway for the interest,I am always glad when a message reaches people,in a way or another.

    Cheers

  • @thorsenolaf

    I guess some people have no more fundamental problems :D

  • I embrace atheism not because God does not exist. On the contrary. My belief is predicated on the understanding that God could never exist.

    Why be drawn into an dialectical debate regarding a construct that's lacks metaphysical and/or conceptual provability?

  • lol. dream theater should go back to the awake album. their best years.

  • el hombre creó la historia de dios, esta dice que dios creó al hombre. dios murió cuando el hombre dejó de creer en su propia mentira.

  • very awesome song. who gives a shit what the lyrics are about as long as the melody is good.

  • I Like the song. Though I am a Pagan; I know without a doubt that GOD is not Dead. I may not follow him. Yet I never turned my back on him or his son.

  • Okay, when I first saw some of the titles of this band, I thought they might be Christian, then I saw this title. But, before I judged, I read the lyrics. Has anyone else bothered to do so? The lyrics are about God telling man, "Fine, you think you can live without me, then go ahead, I'm dead to you." It's a message from God letting mankind learn the hard way that we can not live without Him.

  • @LivonianKnight well said :)

  • Great QUALITY! -.-'

  • cool song!!! and great band! see you at metal lorca festival in spain!!!

  • this sond is not atheist and i agree with Renegade4!!!

  • Renagade - I am so behind you. I however am very religious, but agree with you 100 percent about this not being the correct forum for religious discussion. People say stuff they normally wouldn't say to your face. Meaning, just people trolling etc.

    Song is dope btw!

  • @Moorlake78 absolutely right brotha.... but the song is actualy promoting the idea of God, just gotta listen carefuly to the full story =P

  • Dude, Symphony X and Sonata Arctica had a baby, its name is Vision Divine!

  • @RampagedWillis Vision Divene's father is Dream Theater... Symphony X is only the godfather :D

  • @Palachierico And the Father of Symphony X is Rhapsody. End of story.

  • Basically, the people have sacrificed their humanity for eternal life, and hence they've been forsaken their religion along with it. The whole album is kind of a speculative look at what living forever would bring...

  • This song is not anti-religion or atheist in any way...The premise is that a scientist has created a "God" medicine that keeps the human race alive forever. He later regrets his decision, and tries to reverse it but the population refuses initially. They later come crawling back to him because their lives are miserable, but he tells them that they've forsaken their own souls, that God is "dead," and he will not help them.

  • Read the lyrics; this song crearly talks about the Rapture, it talks about when the gates of heaven will be closed, then He will be "dead" for the people left behind.

  • Jittiri brutta bagassa!!

  • that's not what the song is saying at all...

  • this music isnt bad, but imho Timo Kotipelto of Stratovarius has got much, much better voice. but maybe one day i give chance to this band :-)

  • hey bro come on, kotipelto isn't able to sing his songs alive 'cause he cannot reach the proper tones, infact if you check it the live dvd of vision divine you'll realize the huge difference between luppi and kotipelto, the quality of the voice and their technique, luppi is far more good than kotipelto

  • yes, thats true. lot of kotipeltos live versions are out of tones, but there are few videos on youtube where is singing very good. but in fact i listen only studio versions of stratovarius. live versions i listen only on youtuve. i dont listen Vision Divine yet so i cannot compare. but when i hear timo's voice for the firt time, i know that will be my hero. he has got big charisma. maybe this throw shadows on his misteakes. btw greetings from czech republic :-)

  • its ok bro, with my reply I didnt mean that kotipelto is a bad singer but I think luppi the quality of their voices are different, well best regards from chile =)

  • actually if you listen to the lyrics you'll realize that is an history wrote by olaf thorsen, when humans doesn't need god anymore 'cause they became into gods themselves, for that reason in the song god says "here's the news for you god is dead"

  • No that's not really the point at all. This is a Christian song. Christians believe (or should believe) that God grants us free will, and because we have free will, God no longer stays in direct contact with mankind, lest he prove to us His existence and thereby violate man's free will to believe and do what he wants. Essentially, the lyrics of this song describe perfectly what most Christians (ie, non-Catholics) believe or should believe. God is "dead" in the sense that he is absent from Earth.

  • The words "God is dead" are spoken from the point of view of God. He's saying, essentially, "Okay, since you won't listen to me, now you can try life without me for a while."

  • arrepientanse shushesumares

  • >you cant prove that theres a god and you cannot prove that theres no god

    Actually, it's theoretically possible. All you have to do is see God. However, you can't prove that God DOESN'T exist, because to do that you would have to be able to see every possible place of existence all at the same time and see that there is no God in any of those places. To do that, you would, well, have to be God.

  • That's true. But God is also a scientific likelihood. Think about it.. science offers NO explanation for how all existence began or how all matter, space, time and logic came into being. There IS no scientific explanation, because science states that nothing can be created. Obviously, everything WAS created, so scientifically, this proves that something above all laws of science and logic had to have been there initially to have created all else.

  • I agree, though I would say that God is a scientific fact, since repeated, and repeatable, empirical evidence (my personal experience with God; not seeing him, but other interaction) should suffice to establish a fact.

  • Indeed, that's very true. If atheists want us to believe that Darwinism is science, then so is God. After all Darwinism was just the writings of one man -- Darwin -- on his own personal experiences. One could say exactly the same about his personal experiences with God.

  • Science states not that nothing can be created, but that ENERGY cannot be created, nor destroyed, only changed from one form to another. Things can easily be created without any scientific. How do you think people give birth? A magical god comes and wills a child to appear in a womb? I think not.

  • Haha well you're totally misunderstanding the science here. Giving birth is not creating anything new, no new matter is created. If someone does not eat food and drink water while pregnant the child will not grow. Why? Because the matter of the food and water is directly converted into the body mass of the fetus. So already-existing matter is simply becoming other matter; nothing new is created at all. Everything in the universe has come from something else that already was, until the beginning.

  • I will admit, i was wrong in that particular example, but nowhere in modern science is there a law that nothing can be created. Find me a specefic quote that says such, and a reliable reference to back it up, and i will concede, but until then i stand by my point that there is no scientific proof, or likelihood of god existing.

  • Well, the law of Conservation of Mass, for one.. look it up in Wikipedia if you are unfamiliar with it

  • Particularly the First Law of Thermodynamics, to be more precise.

  • the first law of thermodynamics states that ENERGY cannot be created, not that matter cannot be created. if your going to use a law, use it correctly

  • Yes but all matter is energy and vice-versa. Matter becomes energy and then energy becomes matter. For example, I drink a bottle of water, that water is mostly peed out again later but some of it becomes energy which fuels my body.

  • True, all matter POSESSES energy of some form, but is not inherently energy in itself. Also, in response to your statement on the law of conservation of mass. The law of conservation of mass applies only in a closed system, whereas no matter may be created or destroyed in said system. Outer space has been deemed endless by scientific minds, and as such, is hardly a closed system.

  • @DaaanceYouLoser Interesting point of view... That has to be the FIRST "Pro God" argument I have EVER heard that actually had some sense to it! =D I'll give you this: There may well have been some sort of otherworldy force that created the universe. However there is no evidence that supports the idea of divine INTERVENTION. So if there IS a god, it certainly would be nothing like what the bible would have us believe it to be. It possibly created the conditions for life, but not mankind directly.

  • And what makes you say that?

    Thank you for the compliment, but the enormous world of theology is full of "pro-God" arguments that are very rational. They are simply hidden from the majority who has no interest in discovering them. Ever since medieval Christian times there have been great theologians, such as Pascale, who defined Pascale's Wager, a very successful attempt to prove that one must logically believe in God. I definitely concur.

  • honestly, pascales wager is very childish.

    Benefits of living as though god exists is no reason to accept such a ridiculous idea.

  • But in all rationality and logic, it is.

    It is a flawless argument because it operates directly on the "atheist's" most prized philosophy -- that everything is based on logical decisions, and one naturally has no reason to do anything that has no benefit. Ergo, one would be operating irrationally to ultimately disregard God's potential existence, rather than embracing the possibility of God's existence and gaining great reward. I think God would smile upon that rationalisation.

  • That's not how all atheists think.

    I do not *think* god doesn't exist, I *know* god does not exist, and I'm not going to pretend that he does and live a lie to have a possible benefit.

    also, don't you think god would know if you were doing that?

  • And I know God does exist. So hah.. engarde!

    What do you mean "god would know"? God would know what?

  • Well you're entitled to your beliefs =)

    What i meant was, wouldn't god know if you were only ACTING like he existed for the benefits of believing in god?

  • Stop trying to persuade people. You shouldn't worry about what people believe in. If you believe God exists, then good for you. Keep your weak, dismissed (Plato/Aristole) Cosmological arguments to yourself.

  • LOL wtf? Plato/Aristotle dismissed arguments from the medieval age 1500 years before they were even established? Damn, that's intense.

    I am not "persuading" people, it was a discussion that was already on-going, and clearly you're upset that I am contributing insightfully.

  • Lol, okay. Keep playing games. You know exactly what I meant. Your entire walls of texts are based on their Cosmological arguments (which have been dismissed in the light of scientific discoveries over the past seven centuries). If you want to jump to the conclusion that a supernatural being/first maker created the Universe, then good for you. I'm not going to go into details because it has nothing to do with the video/lyrics. I suggest you move your discussion. Stop trying to persuade people

  • And what has science dismissed of the Christian religion over the past seven centuries? All it has done is prove it correct time and time again -- hydrologic cycle, bacteria in still water, circulatory system, et cetera.

    The universe was created. Scientifically, it is not possible that matter and space could spontaneously self-inspire, the creation of all existence was non-scientific.

    You ask me to stop trying to persuade people and yet that's precisely what you are doing yourself.

  • If you do decide to "contribute insightfully" by persuading others who do not jump to the supernatural conclusions, then just be aware of arthritis Lol. Ease of on those walls of texts.

  • What are you talkin' about "walls of text"? You are surely aware that it is next to impossible to fit any semblance of a theological argument into 500 characters as it is.

    As for jumping to conclusions, you have done the same thing with your religious atheism. Like most atheists I've ever met you seem to be the exact model of what you criticise the religious for.

  • In your case, ignorance is bliss. Still, at what point did I type that I was an Atheist? My religious Atheism? Like I said, stop pulling things out of your ass and stop trying to persuade (or "contribute insightfully") people. What do I mean by walls of texts? In other words, half the comments in this video are by you (most of which are typed to persuade others, even though you are denying it). Perhaps I Exaggerated a bit, but you get the idea :)

  • Religious Atheism? An oxymoron if ever i saw one.

  • For your information, Atheism is NOT a religion. It is NOT a belief system. Also, real Atheists don't go around criticizing or making fun of other religions. I'm not an Atheist and I know that much. Which means you have no idea of what an exact model of an Atheist would be.

  • I have a very good idea, because every day I have to see comments about how much they hate religion and how much it scares them. Take you, for example. As I said, the perfect model.

    If I am ignorant please correct me -- if you are not an atheist then what are you?

    And furthermore why do you ask me over and over to "stop persuading people"? You yourself are trying to persuade me to your perspective, so until you stop doing that, I'll persuade whomever I want.

  • GRANDE MICHELE!!!!!!!!!

  • michele luppi!!!!!

  • yo tambien xdddd

  • God is the salvation guys , the end of world begin

    sahuuhasuhasuhas ;P Hail Hail \,,/

  • GOD IS DEAD...Y PUNTO!!!

  • Can you tell me, how can God be dead? God IS the Life, every logic says: ,there must be God'.....

  • just no. you cant prove that theres a god and you cannot prove that theres no god. and thats said my logic

  • by logic, ofc, sorry

  • ...at first i thought it was about Friedrich Nietzsche

    xD

  • god is death...........

    Friedrich Nietzsche is death

  • ...and i'm not feeling well too XD

  • Personally I am atheist, don't have this sort of biased religous discussion on youtube. This is not the correct forum because everyone can hide behind their computer screens and spew nonsense without even considering the opposing party's point of view. I like the song because it sounds cool.

  • @Renagade4 That is the most intelligent thing I have ever heard from an athiest. It is also true. I offer you my book that you might read it and answer it as you will. please email me for a free PDF of it. johnmichaelpoirier@yahoo.com

  • @Renagade4 Even if you don't believe in God, there are lots of mysterious things.

  • @CyricRO But this mysterious things can be explain with the time, god is explanation for nothing

  • @Garudabr God is a mysterious thing himself, not an explanation.

  • if you don't like God or songs that include him, simply don't even listen. it's in the title. its just a song a piece of art. so let it be. all in all its a good song with some powerful lyrics and great instrumentals/vocals.

  • and you need to learn how to properly write before you try to flame a vid you moron

    "these guys need to suck"? seriously dude?

  • You speak with bias, the song has some beautiful musical elements. Did you even listen to the song? Would you say that comment to the band in real life? This is a song, that I personally love, and does not deserve your rude comments.

  • I forgot to add that this song could perfectly fit the story of "The Rapture" or something like that ("Come to me, my faitful sons; angels, close the gates of Heaven [...] Let them take just what they want"). Also, "Here's the news for you: God is dead" << that's what God would say in the context of the song.

    So... I don't see any anti-christian point on this. Take a look at the lyrics of the song "Heaven calling" from Vision Divine.

  • wtf, please, listen or read the lyrics...

    Just take a look in the Vision Divine official website about this album. There it says this is a "concept album" and it's all about mankind becoming immortal (just listen to the start of the album), then God "leaves them behind" for that, and then at the end of the album, the last song (Now that you're gone) talks about life is going back (children born again) and says that He's back to us

  • stupid nabs this song is sarcastic.... god is dead for the idiots who dont believe in him, i dont care what will happen, we will take our freedom, god is done...

  • many of the people who don't believe in God is because they can't see that the mistakes that the ones who represent him on earth commit, aren't God's command, but their fall to the human temptation of following their own selfish interests. Because of that there are every time more people who doesn't believe, more people that serves God but not the Church, and more people that builds the Church in their own way.

  • I think the idea is not forget about God or convert all people to faith, but to create the chance to coexist with comprehension and respect.

    Any cosmovision, even the ones without a god, can be forms of freedom if they are understood in the right way. The important thing, more than the faith you profess, is what you learn from it and how do you apply it to your daily life

  • si hay estupidos esta canción es sobre el desinterés de los hombres hacia Dios, creyendo que por encontrar la cura a toda enfermedad y haciendose inmortales van a encontrar la felicidad. En fin, la esperanza de una nueva vida deja de existir, "don`t look for my presence in churches", because i don`t give up more answers, los humanos solemos ser insolentes ante Dios

  • wow.. just wow... it seams almost 90% of the most recent comments are Defending Atheism... and along with such even those who are religious aren't actually listening to the song... this song is, believe it or not, promoting God... its a song about the people of earth abandoning God and then God saying that he will then leave the people as they asked... it goes on but the point is is that it isn't saying "yay victory god is dead" its more so, humans, pushing him away and the bad result following.

  • just... lol, try to actually listen to what the song is saying completely before you assume that it is an ANIT-GOD song of some sort, because in fact it is just the opposite.

  • true!

  • you seek but i love tis music thank

  • freedom!!!XD

  • god is not dead go helle

  • god doesn't exist -.-

  • Well, that's your belief, others strongly believe God does exist, and are willing to die and did die for him. So you are saying the millions of ppl died actually died for someone who doesnt exist and that's rather cruel. Try to respect other ppl's belief =)

  • actually yeah,they died for nothing...but anyone can believe whatever they want

  • That's a pretty inhumane thing for you to say =/. But whatever,

  • I prefer "god is dead" by vader

  • shut up you pussy bible thumping dip shit

  • dude you will not believe what happened ill tell you about it in a sec

    but seriously i have no doubt i could kick your ass lol.....weakling

  • lol You make me laugh. As if you're better than us because you're Christian? How Christian like. Go learn how to act as you're religion or stfu. Jebus never critisized anyone for being Godless, OR called someone inferior for the same reason. In fact, those are the people he saught MOST in order to help. How's it feel being owned by someone on your own religion?

  • @cryotimber No Christians are not better than anyone. In most cases Hypocrisy is what the world sees and hates about people who claim to be Christian. Most Christians know very little about there faith. They in fact parrot others teachings. brtain washed. Im a Christian Im a sinner just forgiven. I offered a book above . I will give it to you as well. if you read it objectively you will know more than 99 % of the CHristians" in the world today.

  • We're inferior and. . . weak? What the hell, you dipshit? You're the one turning to your pretend deity for guidance and love. Grow a fucking pair and get someone to to love you without having to spew bullshit about the holy trinity for hours. At best, you're an annoying Jesus-troll. At worst, you actually believe the dumb shit you're typing. Take your Bible and thump it elsewhere.

  • hahahahhahah very funny u rock!!

  • very good music, i like it

  • god is dead!

  • Yeah I'm sorry you prefer everything vanilla flavored and nothing else.

  • buena cancion pero un poco mal el video

  • Great song, 5*

  • I dont like it, at all, Carnivores God is Dead is better

  • symphonic ftw

  • Io li ho visti dal vivo... Sono incredibili!

    Magari in Italia ci fossero più gruppi come loro...

  • metallo ben suonato...bravi

  • Goddamn, this is THE catchiest song in existence, and I've heard a shitload of metal in my life.

  • wow this is some good fucking power metal \m/

  • la canzone è bella, ma che razza di titolo...

  • Perchè? Se leggi il testo parla di Dio che, resosi conto che gli uomini non hanno più fede ecc decide di abbandonarli a loro stessi. Inoltre Dio è morto è anche la frase più celebre di Nietzsche, credo si siano rifatti anche a quello.

  • ok :-)

  • i think the meaning of the song is awesome, at first i thought it was satanic... but then i listened more closely and its quite the opposite, pretty sweet. lol

  • yeahh, the same happened to me, it was the first song i heard and thought that the band was completely against religion, then i heard the pefect machine from begining to end and discovered it was the other way round!!!

  • same here =D

  • molto buona composizione

  • love this band!

    i heard that that Luppi is leaving the band? is that true?

  • Yeah but he got replaced by Fabio Lione so they'll be fine.

  • LOL oh my, it is on here! This is the song that gave me my youtube account idea haha.

    Thanks for posting by the way.

  • l'inizio è spettacolare, poi la canzone si perde 1 po' ma in generale nn è male cmq..

  • Molto buono ma anche qui, a parere mio, la batteria è troppo pesante, ossessiva. Mi piacerebbe più asimmetrica, meno martellante.

  • I speak english...

    This band rocks.

  • this is power metal..not very rock..

  • if someone says that something "rockes" he/she usualy wants to say that its good/cool...

  • Should he have said that "this band power-metals..!"..? Wow, that was a meaningful statement.. or not..

  • "Mi sento in colpa quando la gente dice che sono il migliore chitarrista al mondo. Non mi interessa essere bravo o no. Quello che importa è il feeling, averlo o non averlo. Se solo la gente guardasse le cose due volte e pensasse in termini di feeling. Il tuo nome non conta nulla, è il tuo talento, il tuo feeling che conta, devi sapere molto più della tecnica delle note, devi conoscere il suono e quel che c'è tra una nota e l'altra".

    J.M.Hendrix

  • Mitici I Vision Divine...entreranno nella storia!!!!

  • muito loko

  • sea cristiano o no tocan bien :D

  • da i brividi! il concept di tutto l album è eccezionale!

  • chi giudica un gruppo solo dalla tecnica nn capisce un cazzo di musica!!! vedi i

    PINK FLOYD tecnicamente nelle loro song nn c'era nulla di cazzuto, ma le melodie ke ti trasmettevano nessun gruppo ankora e' capace di farlo....nn puntate tutto sulla tecnica...grazie

  • IO per cazzuto intendo che è un gran gruppo !!! cioè che mi piace.

    io la penso come te ! ;)

  • Gruppo davvero cazzuto !!!

  • Sinceramente sto gruppo si salva solo perche Luppi ha una gran voce.

    Tecnicamente non sono cosi bravi.

  • e vabeh nn si può giudicare 1 gruppo solo dalla tecnica, anke se serve...

  • tecnicamente nn sono così bravi?? XDDDDDDDDDD... che coione...

  • I love Vision Divine. Land of Fear and God is Dead are the best songs by them.
