VNV Nation - Darkangel

[TheMetalVagabond]

sings like Richard Butler from Psychedelic Furs, and that's a good thing

[Ashmi925]

This is VNV Nation. Everything else is trancy bullshit...

[Tritium5678]

There is no faith in which to hide.

Even truth is filled with lies.

[Buffalohomer]

@Tritium5678 best lyric I have ever heard

I know I'm going to get some shit over me for saying this but I miss the old VNV with more profound meaning in their songs, it seems everything has become more simplified... or is this just an impression?

[Ujimaflipy]

Only been listening to them for a couple of months, but I'm now totally in love with them! Had a cigarette and a chat with Ronan after the Manchester gig on the 6th. Such a nice man! Not to mention an amazing lyricist!

[NjKidZero]

VNV Rules! d^_^b

[atrocityexhibition12]

VNV Nation attracts better than average humans. Those that strive for a life worth living.

Truth is hard to find. Listen to it hear and now...

[EsfingeRa]

simply perfect

[MsAudesapere]

been listening since 2000 :)

[Malkinabox]

Story of my Fucking life, i live by this bands lyrics, no one else in music has a Voice like Ronnin. a lot of my friends never heard of VNV or Suicide Commando, Colony 5, Combichrist, Funker vogt...Slowly when i got into VNV and colony 5 everything with in future pop/synth and industrial, i became aare of it all.

[Hellion912]

I you think that 6 people have no tast in music make it 7, cause I like them

[HerculesTAK]

This is my favorite of all their tracks. Amazingly moving music. Long overdue since Tangerine Dream. They combine TD's sound with great beat and lyrics.

[johndoughtry]

They toured through Cleveland some years back. Loved their music then and still do. So many of their earlier works are impossible to buy now.

[Electronlyman]

I'm a fan since Q1 2010 and haven't heard this track till today.. wish I had..

Absolutely epic, as powerful as a nuclear reaction.

[brutalcrawls]

this is awesome...nice

[greenghost2008]

The theme has a martial industrial feel. :)

[ConstintineVamp24]

six people have no musical taste 

[Bleakunending]

I'm glad I remembered to listen to this band again.

It's been a while...

[guhmeel]

I heard them for the first time two weeks ago. Just to found out they gave a concert three weeks ago....just 25km from where i live.

[ValekHalfHeart]

@guhmeel Sucks.

[MeisterQualle]

trashi!!!

[1TheseraTo]

yeaaaaaaaa ohhhhhh yeaaaaaaa

1111

[nikoliciv]

This should be the VNV not the crap Ronan makes nowdays...

[defendhumankind]

Best Electronic music Ive ever heard.

[AmosMustDie]

I am going to see them in November.

[luclfersangel616]

 . . . they fall again.

[Lethanian]

Oh my god, how come this band escaped me for so long? Just found out about them O:

[Antavalon]

@killa4eva999 oh jegus, killa4eva999, my old account, has one of the top comments. posted... apparently a year ago, and i cant even remember it. still going strong on loving VNV.

New Album "Automatic" by VNV out this september!

[arianajaneen]

this is by FAR one of my all time faves. i excercise to VNV NATION everyday..really gets my heart pumping.

[Garuvul]

...this is actually a good breakup song. At least for me.

[xeeen0]

Wonderful music



[Cypherthefox1]

Pure magic... This music is soul clensing. Well, for me at least :-)

[cellofreak49]

These lyrics are breathtaking.

[DJZeraph]

VNV Nation - Illusion ( RMX by DJ Zeraph)

[DiDi4238]

just love the part from 0:58-1.20

[accessandamplify]

mind. blown.. again. cool.

[rockah12]

Awesome! Only thing is I came to see this song because I read a story that references it as the main character kills himself. Meh.

[lisag7088]

I always turn the stereo up very loud when this song comes on... " Are you ready!!! " " Get set go!!!! "

[easyjoseph]

One of my fav bands they make this 50 yr old former marine jam out!!!!!

[Antifaith29]

@easyjoseph Your comment brought a huge smile to my face, that's so awesome. Good for you :D

[jurithelegend]

[bolmsp]

[loganINTJ]

Monstrous Album

[accessandamplify]

[noparainnita]

It's easy to see VNV Nation has lot of smart thoughts.

"Dark Angel" has perfect lyrics.

[beldjzerker]

I actually have cum on my keyboard... thank you for your music.

[bolmsp]

[cosmoyue]

Darkangel <3 Victory Not Vengance Nation!!!! :D

[ThePsychofairyfish]

VNV to me are the ambassadors of this music, I am a hard core rock fan but omg, VNV are so lush to listen too, thanks to them I have discovered many more...they have opened up my ears!

[brittiny333]

one word: robotripping.

[hazillow]

it seems i came to leave.

[juinqui]

SOLO HAY QUE ESCUCHAR Y VERAS QUE ELLOS HAN ESTADO SIEMPRE A NUESTRO LADO... DELO BUENO ELLOS SON PARTE DE ELLO .. GRANDE VNV NATION

[TaL1cV]

I love it...!

[sanzoisawesome2]

This is actually the first the first time I listened to this and I'd have to say, It's pretty good!

[bikinikillah]

i havent heard this song in years..it gave me chills.... fucking awesome.

[killa4eva999]

this was the first song i ever heard by Vnv Nation.. about 4 years ago... now im addicted to Vnv Nation's music.i have every single CD, even Burning Empires. for all those who care, Vnv stands for "Victory not Vengeance"

[ThePsychofairyfish]

@killa4eva999 wow ty, never really wondered before but thanks lol x

[V0r73ck5]

@killa4eva999

Which of course means 'Be better than the people who are assholes to you'

[Kitten406]

@killa4eva999 I am seeing them in concert this December ;)

[killa4eva999]

@Kitten406 im seeing them december 6th this year.

[Kitten406]

@killa4eva999 ditto xDD

[MrToutenkarton]

@killa4eva999

the same!!!!

[AbsinthianEnvy]

@killa4eva999 Haha, I started going by Azrael as an online alias after hearing this song.

[cerena]

@killa4eva999 Same with me. My friend was playing this song in his car years ago and I fell in love with them. I now consider myself a huge fan. They're just incredible.

[ViewWatchGori19]

The only DarkAngel is Azrael. Gabriel was forgiven by God for his iniquity.

[AlexKaptain]

@ViewWatchGori19 True, but he was still called the Darkangel, in an EP, they also have Darkangel (Azreal), which is an extended version of this.

[AlexKaptain]

Sooooooooooooooooooooo good :))))))))))

[geganobo]

to me the lyrics sound like there are 2 versions of 1 person talking to eachother.

1st version: "enslaved" by our society, we have no real free will(this is the version tha is just like us)

2nd version: Is the free version of the same person(like a hunter or something from 2000 years ago).

this 2nd version is telling the 1st version that the 1st version isnt free, even if he thinks so himself and that the 2nd version can do whatever he wants

[Belphu5]

... The comments below just goes to show how many stupid shut-in's we have.

People who need to compare good music to video games and video game characters.

The song seems to be more about Lucifer than I would imagine it to be about some loser from Assassin's Creed, Thrall, Super Mario, or Ash Ketchum.

[Bootsign]

@Belphu5 : That's a pretty pretentious thing to say. There's nothing wrong with associating a song's theme and lyrics to a character in fiction; it's pretty fun sometimes.

Though I agree with you that this probably refers to Lucifer, or one of the other rogue angels of Judeo-Christian mythos. One interpretation is that they're describing the differences between the Jewish Lucifier and the Christian version, told from the former's perspective.

[Belphu5]

@Bootsign

Agreed. When I hear "right what you have suffered"... it just seems there is double-speaking going on. Unsurprising of Lucifer. Such as -writing- what others have suffered. And him, seeking peace in the sense of inner peace. And not world peace. Excellently composed and written song.

[DieAlteDDR]

ich will die so gerne wieder live sehen.

[KremhildeDerWilde]

Illusion and Darkangel best Song´s 4ever

[Davidcoady85]

VNV nation are fucking brilliant

[CashForGash]

This song always reminds me of Alteir's story and life from Assassin's Creed.

[reigalius2]

Its good - I'm not trying to say its not - It's just that this guy's voice ruins it for me. :\

[SeeSayLeki]

@reigalius2 I can see where you get thta .XD The beat of the music is too delicious to resist tho. : x

[Phersennya]

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[Grudgewolf]

Saw this live last week in Denver, it's way better live. I really felt inspired by it. VNV Nation is the best

[schwarzhalt]

Ich find VNV NATION total geile Music

LG oO-Denise-Oo (D)

[XvxBERSERKxvX]

Best VnV song Ever!

[wojumeni]

It´s cool music!°_^

[MorbidCzechLola]

Best song ever! :-D

[Mordan666]

excellent song!! excellent album!!

[69dagon]

i love dancing to this song in the club and in my room and in the dark with black lights with glow sticks its such a beatiful song

[geganobo]

this song reminds me of new order :D

[dozeberrypillboy]

so true, it does sound like a new order/joy division tune.

very good song

[Andiaz]

This song will always remind me of arvikafestivalen 2008, partying with our crazy tent neighbours from hultsfred, heh. I recall that one of them really loved this song, so that memory just stuck with me since then.

[Nyoronnnnnnnnnnnn]

My favorite song by VNV nation. Makes me think of a jet flying over the ocean, afterburners blasting it along at supersonic speeds.

[nintendo9231889]

When I hear this I think of an anime style universe world where someone gained the whole world but lost the person they loved. And would wait forever for them.

[irockdudeoo7]

Lol anime is the most epic thing ever.

[lordfonze36]

Brings me back to those Army days

[gothfesttour]

this song really did make me orgasm,

im not just saying that neither.

[cm2dude]

I actually cried the first time I heard this song. And I came. It was that awesome.

[gothfesttour]

@cm2dude

same here man

[joeyservo]

I'm in this mood because of scorn. I'm in the mood for total war. Fuck yes I say!

[dantesthreshold]

Biblical or Apocalyptic, I think Gabriel would love this as his theme

[RemBot2000]

0:59

I came.

[nightdaughter1]

forever a fan of their powerful lyrics..amazing

[2001mikky]

so many memories to this song

AMAZING!!!!!

[atroxrix]

have to agree to choleandson

[coleopterbreed]

I usually listen another type of music (rock, punk and metal). But they sound very good. And I like the lyrics.

[Tumnaloth]

@coleopterbreed In my opinion the lyrics are what draws people to VnV Nation's songs, despite the excellent work on the music it's deep lyrics that touch through the shallower layers into the subconscious that really make a memory.

[chinghue]

@coleopterbreed You should check Legion, further, chrome or austronaut, those are so awesome. I'm a metalhead too btw.

[LuneX6666]

@chinghue maybe Beloved too?

[chinghue]

@LuneX6666 hellyeah, really helped me through my life, so good..... just an eargasm :)

[MultiDoomsday666]

@coleopterbreed same here

[Lowieken73]

@coleopterbreed You should see them live. Really. True entertainers.

Rock on !

[tslotha1]

I saw them in concert Monday... one of the most truly amazing, and breathtaking energy concerts ive seen in a very long time.

[platinumgirl]

i'm going to see them tonight... i'm excited ^^

[TehUglyNigga]

Fucking amazing<3

[iotey]

what kinf of music is this?!.... i like it!!

[TheDrummingClown]

Futurepop. It's a sub-genre of Techno.

[XjimmyXdarknessX]

it's not of techno, it's of Industrial.

[Antisp1ral]

The genre is actually called Futurepop. ^^

[rayyf69]

This accords with Iskur's classification scheme. Are you basing that on ishkur?

His taxonomy is pretty damn impressive but i havn't seen any other attempts.

[kagenooni]

VNV Nation actually coined the phrase Futurepop WAY back in the day (Prior to Empires), and it became the genre name to describe the ligher side of Industrial Dance/EBM.

Also, on a separate tangent, this is NOT INDUSTRIAL. Industrial is a soundscape genre of music, and is basically the artistic use of noise, usually of an 'industrial' nature.

[fumofelice]

commonly called

EBM (electronic body music)

[SuperDevilGirl666]

Awesome music!!

[Gravedirthorror]

going to see 'em tonight - w00t!

[eepidoodle]

sooo jealous! gotta wait til end of year to see em in the UK

[boomyster]

vnv nation kicks ass. This mangled msg board just shows how much emotion they envoke with their songs, people just become mad emo, but in a why that i dont feel like kicking some ass.

[xX0Janina0Xx]

I love VNV Nation!!!

[n0n00dz4u]

Great song. Dare i say best of the album. If your new to vnv check out the tracks Rubicon and Kingdom.

[zyclonb6]

Laugh my fucking ass off, FUCK y'all its a song

[SirDunlop]

SI ME PINCHAN CON UNA AGUJA NO ME SALE NI UNA GOTA DE SANGRE.(skin same nails)

[yooqe]

Your version is pwnage

[Irrsinn216]

x'DDDDDDDDDDDDD

[heavenslittlesecret]

I actually have tears in my eyes... thank you for your music.

[DrEyebrows]

aw : )

[scarletharlots]

seems i came to leave..

[Sylar482]

Vnv nation is so amazing. The beats in their music are awesome!!

[YargYikernes]

It's Futurepop.

[DrEyebrows]

This is def. my favorite song from them of all time, I remember when it first came out and I heard it in the club it was so fucking great. Good times...

[Bitemynekk]

<3vnv nation<3

[sterlingskorpion]

VNV Nation is just unique !

[karma173]

....just speaks for itself.....everlasting!!! :)

[crankycinnamonlizard]

Why waste your time telling us that? LOL

[Sceptile89]

Because i want you too know:D

[meterrox]

a trip backward through time :D

[Wonderer76]

Liebe auf den ersten Blick !!!!!

[PsychotikAngel]

hermoso!!!

adoro este tema es uno de los mejores

[ZuuLSpAcEmAn]

Best song they've ever made. Fuck all this comparing these bands, go lick a cock and quit looking up shit to compare, go lick that band's balls.

[Curry4King]

breathtaking!!

Best Band ever!!!

[nanakomatsu23]

mattia ti amo

-darka_sioux-

[Floodedgunner]

I need this fucking album.... Goddamn I could listen to VNV Nation all day long. I love the instruments, and I love the lead's voice.

Just a simply epic group. Awesome to listen to while playing EVE.

[Terenin]

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing, just now:P

Really enjoying this band, I fully enjoy playing this band's songs while in battle.

[MoonBabyhowl]

I agree on this. Saviour(Vox) and Entropy are epic "final battle" songs. Especially if the final boss is some kind of world-crushing evil deity or something.

[theoogabear]

You are such a freaking nerd. And yet, I cannot agree more with that statement.

[Kalcite]

So many VNV Songs suited to Final Fantasy games :'D

[songbirdshe]

Nummy-Yummy ^_~ *this brings power(like that)

[Dabu3]

Probably my favorite version of the song.

[dieda007]

Great! Thanks for posting in here!
