Listening to Mechina always turns my mind back towards the simple things... Orbital bombardment. Taking a drop-pod down through your own bombardment. Power armor. Monomolecular blades. Cutting an assault mech down with a monomolecular blade. You know. Simple things.

Mechina isn't really Mechina without Dave Holsch's growls. Glad to have him back.

Thank god the growls and varied vocals are back!

Finally DAVE IS BACK. Busting through Mel's vocals, it's exactly what Mechina needed

It's the nanosecond Dave roars through with "that they can also bleed" that turns my head into a god damn windmill. My neck aches already. The last 3 albums have been great, don't get me wrong, but there's something special about what Dave did on this song to take us back to the truest highs of MEchina, albums like Progenitor and Embers. More seriously, what a phenomenal storytelling song. After 3 albums building Virton as this nightmarish beast responsible for the death of untold billions and the destruction of an entire planet, to hear Alithea scream after severing his traitorous head from his body and bathing in his blood is so cathartic. You feel for her and everything she has suffered through. And now the revelation that Enyo somehow has a child and the implication seeming to be that she is the Titanborn of Hydrus? Impeccable. What a revelation. Take us deeper into the final conflict and tell me MORE. Give me 40 more songs just like this signature mix of everything they've ever done and let me die happily.

This song had so much punch with the harsh vocals after being starved of it for a while... I had wished some of the great melodies we had in recent albums had the harsh vocals for variations though... Even if it was that deep, bassy, male A.I. voice from to coexist is to surrender or something. Mechina flexing it's variation is what drew me to it in the first place.

Never dissapoint, love the duo vocals, Just an epic masterpiece

I totally missed this release for some reason, saw it on Bandcamp while listening to Compendium Progenitor. Obviously went over here to watch the video, too. The rolling drums, full force, at 2:10 made me grin so hard - back to the Acheron/Progenitor times, and I'm all for it! Don't get me wrong, the last albums were fun, but this song is why I fell in love with Mechina.

It's not just Mel and Dave alternating in that really cool signature Mechina way, they each also display more variety and emotions in their vocals. The part at 9:13 legit gave me goosbumps even though I don't know the story, the raw vocals conveying those emotions in a way I haven't heard before from Dave was such good storytelling. Shoutout to Joe for being such a consistent songwriter and hard worker! Thank you all Ps: fuck yeah, death growls on Mechina songs

Damn, it's almost as long as "The World We Lost" (30 seconds less). Just finished listening, good stuff right here! 🤘

The dual vocals add so much depth. I love Mel's voice but the jumping back and forth between heavy and gorgeous is immensely and sorely missed from the last few albums.

I hope that one day we will see novellisation for the whole storyline, told in all albums.

Finally growls are back! Amazing epic masterpiece!

This song certainly doesn't feel like 18 minutes. Many of my past favorites, like To Coexist, are like that. I've been critical of a lot of the songs off the last few albums, but this is a glorious return to form.

YES!!! Mechina finally flexing it's variation again! This type of beautiful and raw contrast in its soundscapes is what drew me to it in the first place: The harsh vocals, the breathy tribal acapella, the synthy male and female vocals, and the mythic, booming, bassy, male A.I. voice!!! ...on instrumentals it was the raw rhythmical guitars contrasting with sweeping, catchy piano, violin, techy under-tones or full orchestral symphonies! I'll happily add this single to the growing list of unique masterpieces from my favorite band ever!!

Finally the real mechina has returned. 🥹 I love the previous albums, but the real mechina sound is so beautiful.

This is fucking masterpiece!! So complex song... with another tale from Mechina world.. Love it so much! I love the balance between the harsh vocals and clean vocals... and those symphonic parts are perfect!

The synths really work well here. Such a unique sound but still so familiar.

I saw somebody call Xenon "angsty," which I don't quite get. That whole album had them firing on all cylinders with everything that makes them Mechina: Dave's growls, his soaring autotuned sections, and (for the love of god) the orchestrals. Nowadays they're just synth soundscapes with Mel's vocals and no real structure. Hopefully this single is the first step toward what they used to be.

Ashes of old Earth, especially the Copmpendium version with that Violin melody all through the song, is one of my favorite songs ofa ll time.

This is the most epic shit ever conceived in the history of mankind. I don't know what other plane of existence I transcend to while I'm listening to this but I can't get enough of it. Also Mel and Dave together like this is just pure cosmic magic!

been a fan since embers and this is the best song ive heard since then. Godspeed mechina and welcome back!!!

Welcome back Best thing you did since Progenitor

Oh my God! Mechina is old again! Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏

Mechina is the gift that keeps on giving. This is brutally awesome!

Finally clean and harsh vocals at the same time!

Epic! Sound like old Mechina with new Mechina. And just for me i prefer the vocals separate, a littlie duo is fine but your vocal talents are best served standing on their own. Over all pure epic music!

Been listining to Mechina since Xenon and to this day they are easilly one of the most underrated artists I've ever immensely enjoyed.
