Silent Planet - The Anatomy Of Time (Babel) Lyrics

that's a cool flaming meatball.

is this band truly Christian? or have the bailed on the faith also like many other bands?

I like the refrain

Didn't understand half of the words, so I had to google them, but overall I really like it. Reminds me of the Architects a bit.

"Spinning in the circles, waltz with the sun" - the melody of this part is theft, this is taken from Queen - Innuendo

Stoked to see you guys with ABR

You guys are amazing. So friendly and humble to meet too. You deserve great success. And I'm so stoked to see you live again!!

Am I the only one that was reminded of The Coma Machine by Between The Buried And Me with the riff at 1:01 ?

Homeworkcore.

Did anyone notice the link between the visual & lyrics? I mean "Spinning in the circles" / "Language is your prison, but also the key" & we're seeing this burning ball combusts to "death" & freeing from its cage ?

cookie cutter. sorry

Bill Wall This is far from cookie cutter

Sounds like Project 86??

Not at all P86 is garbage compared to these guys lmao

Incredible! Capturing a turning point in the modern existential paradigm it would seem, cool video too, I love it!

Fc.From Thailand.

Silent Planet never disappoints!-
🤘

The guy is a lyrics master

He's good but Adrian from northlane was better in my opinion. Though it's not really a competition.

Kyle Abbott that’s a joke lmao and I love Adrian. But no.

Fuck mate, loving this chorus! I'll folloooow you to the eeeeennd!

Wow. I've heard of them but never listened. I feel ashamed it took this long lol.

Aaron Mooneyham listen to there older albume before this one

So good

Garrett sounds so beautiful with the spoken word bits @1:37.

💜💜💜💜💜💜

BOM, É ÓTIMO"

Not to be negative, but did anyone else find the production on this album to be... meh? I wanna be proved wrong!

Darkvramp You’re dumb

Vocals being extremely upfront probably is necessary to reach a larger audience with their lyrics, something this band clearly cares about. I love the for metalcore-standards quite complex guitar work, but instead of being all in your face about it this aspect wanders to the background, giving the poetry a great underlying harmonic-melodic foundation, giving again people that just are not into dat riffing - and those are pretty many - something easier to hold on to within the song
The atmospheric layers are just beautiful, I honestly don't see where they don't blend well together, but that could be a matter of taste.
The vocals sometimes sounding over range comes probably from the spoken word aspect they have. See, metalcore shouts usually consist of a pretty clean, loud transient (necessary to recognize the syllable) and then the vocal fry making the screaming sound, when you combine this with a larger focus on the "spoken" word - and the spoken word genre - and the emotionality - crying makes your voice go higher, you'll end up in the upper registers of the voice.
The bass is I think pretty much there to fatten up the guitars. What I recall from an interview with the band about this album the bassists main focus of practice up to this record and artistically on the record were his cleans anyway, so I'm okay with a low bass record from these guys.
With drums I'm still not sure, they sound like a mix of natural and highly produced, maybe this combination let's detailing in Alexs playing vaish a bit, but I'd rather have ghost notes vanish to the point they are just thiccening up room sound than having everything compressed down to hear every hit, but no dynamics.

Also with judging this mix one has to keep in mind that this is the first record with the intention of sounding like a four piece band and thus the writing of layers and the overall approach to production has to shift, so not everything will be perfect on the first go.

tl;dr - I like the album, I like the mix, those guys probably know what they are doing

They went with a less technical route on the music here on purpose. The mixing is supposed to sound as much as they are live without out right being live. This album definitely sounds different from their other albums but I think thats the intent here. Less production, a more truer sound.

I will have to say that I just recently discovered these guys. Their talent is there but i kept thinking the exact same thing as you mentioned. I kept thinking "these tracks are awesome but if they were produced differently they would sound a lot better. Too many pieces fighting for the same frequencies and you can hear them fighting because things will sort of randomly sound muddy or certain parts will change in volume rapidly. It also sounds "too compressed" to me. I kept searching through their tracks and more of Solid State's bands in general to see if it was a SS thing, but it seems like it's more of a band thing.

I'll make a bold statement without mentioning other bands. If these guys made any more albums with this same talent, thought, creativity but had a better sounding studio production they would be huge huge.

these drums are fucking stellar get out of here

This whole album was such a masterpiece I loved this album through and through. I have found myself listening to this on repeat and I'm glad I am
