Yeah the whole sentiment "All the good rap from the 90s is gone, all the good rock from the 70s is gone" is garbage. There's amazing music all throughout time, you just have to go find it! The people who throw shade and generalize are only ignorant

Your right, no one person in the band is more important than the rest, they all need each other equally to come together and make beautiful music like this. Everyone, the listeners, the band members, everything only revolves around the music itself and the feelings it invokes

I just love how it's not entirely technical spit. "Here's my sweeps, here's my complex arpeggios, here's other bullshit" Yeah, it's hard to play, but it's not about difficulty. It's about the feeling it evokes, and STS has always been really good at this. Always a pleasure to listen to. Some of their earlier works can be a bit repetitive in terms of entire albums when you listen to the songs too much, but their newer stuff has been breaking that more and more, and I can't wait to see these guys continue growing.

I agree bro its not about making the fastest and hardest music to play, It's about making the most kick ass sounding music whether its technical or not.

Whatever the summit is, they reached it with this song. The songwriting, musicianship, production, band chemistry all came together to produce IMHO the best song to come out of the entire instrumental metal genre.

2:57 - 3:24. It makes me sad every time. They are really technical and brilliant, but the melodies, music and feeling are there.

2:57 - the end makes me feel things I haven't in a long time. I understand completely.

10 years later and still jam to this song almost daily. One of my all time favorite songs, love Scale the Summit.

The way music is suppose to sound; beautiful.

one of the best piece ever written...

So we smoked up in the back of cultural building of the University in my city and when we were returning, I listened to the starting riff of this song. This was pure bliss. I followed the sound and found 4 guys practicing this in a room with their high-end gear. I couldn't help it so I went straight into the room, waited for them to finish and asked what the track was when they told me the name of the song. Man I've been hooked to this one since that time. I placed it in my best of the bests' hall of fame. This is beauty at it's finest levels man. Would really appreciate anyone if they recommended some more music like this or some another great song by the band as now I know what they're capable of. Peace ✌️🏻

Heartbreaking. My ex committed suicide and this was our song. She loved this song and everytime I listen to it.... Smh. Life is so poignant.

I've listened to many things: Death metal, black metal, heavy meal, jazz, classical, neoclassical etc. I must say that Scale the Summit has its own genre and that no other song within my musical knowledge is as both unique and coherently composed as this one.

Best evidence, that you can still find good music today. You just have to look for it! :)

When I heard Chris play that riff in a studio update, I literally fell in love with the song before I even heard the whole thing. Now that I have, no disappointment. I felt like a little kid when i saw this song posted haha

Sounds like Coldplay on Roids. Who would have said metal would be able to be relaxing and atmospheric 30 years ago? Awesome.

One of the greatest bands to show the world an amazingly beautiful style of music

This is seriously outstanding.

WOW, the bass work on that is amazing and the EQ makes it not drown in the mix, the guitar parts are awesome as well, loved the way the delay were used.

I will see about getting a copy of it.

Beautiful.

gorgeous album with gorgeous album art

It's so beautiful!

Mark is making an amazing footprint on these new songs! Such good note choices. Pat is killer on the drums, but that's normal. He's a phenomenal player. Chris and Travis are impressively melodic as always. I'm so glad I pre ordered this CD!

What a peace! This really soothes me

One of my favorite songs.. \m/

Not only am I thrilled to be listening to their new material, but it's just so GOOD. Also, whomever the artist is behind the visuals, did a really stunning job. So in tune with what i'm listening to.

I almost learned this song on bass! What a challenge but so worth it.

I listened to Monument and The Collective while tripping face. It was absolutely amazing my friend and I had trouble finding our minds afterwards. I most definitely recommend it!

Just amazing

Sooo original! Ive definitely gotta check this band out some more!!!!

the artwork is absolutely majestic. I like it a lot.

so glad i checked these guys, guess I have to buy this record.. and all their other records. Absolutly awesome, beautiful song.

gorgeous

Simply amazing

The intro lick is just so insane.

Agree. Just beatiful music.

Just when I thought "The Levitated" was untouchable.. they do it again...these guys are doing all the right things, keep it up!! These songs make me feel like I can do anything! Motivation and inspiration when I hear these songs. Thank You STS.

This is bliss in music form

It's quite amazing how a song with no lyrics can make me feel so existential
