I've never once even thought of Carpenter Brut as synthwave. It's always been Carpenter Brut's music. I always figured most of it was darkwave with metal and rock influences.

He's doing what he wants to do and I'm absolutely loving it.

Yeah, this isn't at all what I was expecting, but I'm not at all disappointed. This is some really interesting stuff.

HI I love you

Your music is badass

Love it when two of my favorite bands come together.

I love your new single Bros

Collab time.

my favourite part of the apocalypse in the bible is the giant teddy bear in the desert 🐻

Dehn Sora made it. Actually it looks quite similar to his previous work with Deathspell Omega on "Ad Arma".

Love it the thousandth time listening and will continue to love it especially living here planet earth in 2024

This song makes me feel like I can save the world.

yeh i cant stop listening to this. Its sooooo good. Deep, dark and heavy....just perfect

rules say i cant give another like. but you are right. something is making me playing this on infite loop too

i got stuck at the "not what i expected" moment.

Experiences like this are how religions get started

same here!!! yes, I don't know how they met each other but we need more of this.

Meh. You'll get what you deserve.

This was my thought, even only halfway through my first listen! I love 16HP/Wovenhand/DEE and I love Carpenter Brut, but this is bigger than the sum of its parts!

OH YEH

He never left. ;)

Right now, I mean it, perfect timing!

Don't we all. Tbh I'm starting to enjoy his colabs little more than his solo. This track is a fckn monster (in good way).

Dont you mean you need more Wovenhand in your life?

yeah man, CORRECT! i found this because i was searching for eugene edwards and holly shit what a song. the singing of edwards ooohhh shit, damn epic and beautiful

Accurate.

This would be better with no vocals, especially these vocals.

@@nightmaster6381 Graduate from school

@@ryanstanley7158 I graduated from the University of Eugine Edwards Sucks with top honors. Totally butchers this song. His music and vocals are crap. Carpenter Brute needs to release an instrumental version of this song without the vocal diarrhea stain of Eugine Edwards.

i know right

Its annoying

It's good.

I tend to introduce a lot of people to Sythwave because most people are sleeping on it still even though it's been around for a minute now. But this is one song I will definitely not show someone who's never heard synth because the vocals are horrible and I wouldn't want people to think that is what all vocals in synth sound like.

@@nightmaster6381 But of course, if this isn't synthwave, it's Carpenter Brut

@@mnordavind Carpenter Brut is definitely on a whole different level than most artists for sure.

same its kinda crazy

Same goes for remaking the Ulver song machine guns....by carpenter. I guess our dreams are coming true, since he started collab with many new interesting interprets from rock/metal scene.

Bloodeborne vibes

Doom “Icon of Sin” making an appearance too. “Beware the old blood”

Kavinsky is teasing a return on his twitter, don't know how this will turn.

A big step away from synths

@@alexxx4434 Not really ???

@@alexxx4434 dude do you know what synthesizers are..?

@@BruceWayne-je9wk Yeah they have keyboards and make sounds such as the ones you hear in this video.

@@alexxx4434 I don't think you know what synths do...

My fav part, excellent build up too!

Check Dehn Sora for more! Really talented dude!

I see it too Etofok. I came to comments to find someone like you to see if we read the same things. The old gods are still, I caught that too and it's true. Old truths stand. The world of the dead, our world, you saw the glimpse of the city, the death road, oh yes. The tree branches are snakes. In Bible you are a branch in a tree of the living, but in the land of the dead trees become snakes. Woman from whose mouth snakes come out is hydra, source of all the lies. You cut one, more comes. I think your idea of Nietzsche is what is shown. Mankind kills it's saviour and the monsters come. Not all the world has abandoned the hope tho. But without God, death it is. Without hope, the monsters will come through us. Eagle, the shaman, the eye that sees far. These are the shamans of our time, artists. They ride the wave of being and sence the possibilities first. Tell me Etofok... Have you seen "land"? I have seen glimbses of light and it's getting brighter. But you know how it is, the light reaches the last to the darkest pits of being. First the places where love still is are lightened, then people around them, then around them... Until. I just today read the psalm 18. When sin arises, arises the hate of God. And the earth will shake and the waters of the deep will be seen. This is the darkness of us, the deep ends of us, the monsters. And our world will shake. The enemy is us. Our sword should be to our chest. But you know, we were bad, we lied, we cheated and broke hearts, we left our families, we hated our families, we stole and killed. We hated God and gave our children only death - welcome child to this world I made. Why did you made me? The sons will arise agains there fathers. If you can see harm from far above, wouldn't you try to stop it? Play an honest game, make it better, make you better, the world will follow. Kill all the monsters of you with no mercy - the hate of a man is not God's will. Become stronger, become solid. Say Etofok...are you seeing what I'm seeing?

I appreciate this song even more now

i could not have put it better myself. this thesis makes complete sense, and inspires me to dig further

I've been listening and watching this since it came out, almost nonstop. I think the usage of the words Horus, Set and Serekh are extremely important. And I think the music video itself, takes place in a present time (post apocalypse), and a past time (cyberpunk future city). Horus and Set are the prominent figures throughout. Seemingly being the only 2 gods remaining in a blasted worn out world. Having standing statues and physical embodiment's as a falcon and jackal can be seen. The only other creatures, lizards ,scorpions and roaches. Horus is seen carrying eggs elsewhere, and being present above the chapel (one of the only buildings we see survive, from cyberpunk past, to present time apocalypse). In my mind, representing Horus as the goodness of whatever is left, having taken the life of the egg, and whatever hope was left in the chapel, and flying onward, into the next horizon to find a place untouched by whatever those decedents of humankind are, those black tar creatures. Segue into Set, who we see utterly ripping and tearing one of the "black tar" creatures to sunder. Completely disregarding any preordained religious sense of Set "judging the heart by the weight of a feather". On the contrary, there are no hearts among the black tar creatures. Rip and tear, as Set always does. I believe it is an image of our most evil of selves. As we exist, as countries, sociologically, being reliant on fossil fuels. The the things we do, as people, to get and make oil, the things it does the world around us, deprives the soul of our existence beyond the "measuring" of a feather. Serekh is, as quoted by Wikipedia, "..the earliest convention used to set apart the royal name in ancient Egyptian iconography..". We see the image of a crown in the streets, and is immediately transposed to the modern day, rusted and worn beyond repair, not a single image of its former egotistical glory remains. A broken Serekh. Shattered by hubris, greed, ignorance, bloated beyond sustainable measures, thrones for pompous nobles, as far as the eye can see. The transitional image of the cross on the church, to being upside down in the puddle next to the crown. I believe the part of the pretext of this, is the image of the serpents growing out of the ground in the beginning. As if, the nutrient of the soil only provide for the snake and the tree, setting the stage of the typical "adam and eve and the snake in the tree". But now its literal serpents growing out, as trees. Implying that the land has been tainted beyond comprehension. I believe the giant skulls were also specifically representing the death of the world around us. Again, speaking in terms of sociological impact in reference to how we as humans exist, cows and herd animals are how we feed our people. We bloat them and change them.. doing whatever it "takes", to get it. Just as we do with oil. I think their skulls stood for all the creatures we treat in such fashions. Nothing larger than a small lizard can survive in that kind of desert. To be honest, the giant teddy bear screams the representation of a future generation. But not for life of the wild, as in my mind, as is represented by Horus, but rather whatever Human generations are left picking through the tech of the old world. Whatever strain of humans are left picking through the decaying pieces, they amount to nothing but sitting in the sand. Watching the rust blow by in the wind in a dying world like a worn out teddy bear with no child like spark that comes from living in a world that has life and meaning. We see the image of a space craft, in my mind, a physical actor for the cataclysm, the triggering event that caused everything to spiral out of control. Humans losing all sense of moral internal identity, economy falling as people refuse to change the gears of the system. Bureaucracy of state and influence clogging the pipelines and making it all come to a halt, while the people who had the ability to grab and run, did so. In the last few scenes I think we bare witness to the end times. The corruption of the land bursting forth like "claws" grasping up into the land like the hands of the dead unleashed by Set. The cockroach and black tar creatures stampeding their way through the dying city-scape. Earlier, we also see the roaches closing in on church (the intent of their deeds displayed by the quick stills of scorpion tails around the church), which I think might display the curse of the dying industrial world, and its constant act to infest whatever sense of hope is left in the "church", "faith", "humanity". Which, is quickly dispelled by Horus, but at the end of the video, flys off to new lands, knowing this one is lost like so many others. Set being the darker side of whatever life is left, being driven to desperate ends, yet cleansing the world of our ancestors failures. Still deciphering.. probably will be deciphering for months. Fucking stellar song and story.

@@darkranger116 great!

Don't forget the tall eqyptian figure and satellite dish.

@@te9591 Or the freaky looking coyote/jackal mix, or the Lovecraftian monstrosities.

YES its a perfect collab. Its genius

Your first impressions were correct, imo. The visual effects seem strangely mismatched. With the motifs of the giant insects and Egyptian monuments you would expect something more spectacular/grandiose/intense and oriental sounding whereas this sounds more like a B track on a Mumford and sons album. Which is unfortunate, because the visual effects are phenomenal. It doesn’t even sound distinctively like carpenter brut if we compare to some of his other songs. It definitely doesn’t sound like a synthwave song. I can appreciate if Carpenter wants to be original rather than restrict himself to a particular genre or style of music, but I think that should come later in your music career once you’ve established a signature. Personally I want to see more synthwave cinematic fusions in the vein of his other songs. I don’t think I’d be such a harsh critic if Turbo Killer wasn’t such a visuo-audial masterpiece. Thats the problem with setting such high standards I suppose. That being said, I’d always prefer that they focus on the process of creating art rather than trying to meet audience expectations. Its always interesting when something misses the mark so we can appreciate it from a different angle. It gives the critics something to chew on.

I thought the visuals were spot on, like a modern day apocalypse caused by ancient gods

all hail the coming of the brut

I believe they teamed up on 8 of 9 as well

If you're only limited to more mainstream music.. Otherwise try with Sisters of Mercy meets WovenHand.

@@premmisseth Oh I listen to a wide range of music, that's just what popped into my head is all.

@@premmisseth I wouldn't say Rammstein is mainstream.

And the visuals give American Gods vibes.

@@premmisseth holy shit that's pretentious. Of course it sounds like Woven Hand, because David Eugene Edwards is the singer in that band. To me, the Rammstein x Depeche Mode is much more on point than your "The singer of this song" + Sisters of Mercy. In the end it is percieved differently but god damn

They're pretty basic, but he is the true master of presenting them.

SAME! the music and vocals are mesmerising. Its just stupidly amazing. Blown away

⌛☄️☄️

Fall of mankind is what my brain thinks it is. Done the carpenter's way though. Damn, all those symbols and hidden references.

@@lukaskubinec9608 I like to think it's a king telling of a great victory over his enemies. Like the inscription by Ramses 111 about his triumph over sea people in the bronze age collapse. He bragged hard and meant it even though it was a pyrrhic victory. Meaning that he sure did crush his enemies, but they had destroyed so much of the surrounding civilization Egypt fate was sealed. I highly recommended looking into the bronze age collapse, we don't even know who exactly these sea people were, but they were enough to cause the equivalent of an apocalypse.

@@darksepheroth4627 that's very interesting interpretation and I think most likely very accurate, thank you for sharing that. Also the UFO spaceship wreck could symbolize that like Ramses annihilated sea people same will happen to us too? We people always think we are supreme until something/someone more advanced shows us that we are just still animals although possible of rational thinking and emotions.

Wovenhand и Carpenter Brut отлично смешались. Получился очень темный напиток.

yess same

100%

Τι κομματάρα έβγαλε πάλι ;

David Eugene Edwards is like the King of Southern Gothic. This collaboration is PERFECT

Lmao good guy

Agree, this collab is sick ROYAL DIADEM

David Eugene Edwards's vocals mash so well with Carpenter Brut's sound. I love it.

So it was Wovenhand.I hadn't heard them in years.but the more I was listening this the more I suspected the voice.

David is such an underrated, versatile artist. What a legend!

Its like Brut ft. Rome...

Why? At least from the theme's perspective the fall of humankind was depicted in Brut's music before and I'm not surprised David agreed - wovenhand music sometimes has postapocalyptic vibes too. Personally this colab brought me huge happiness.

In twenty-seventy or so! Mmmmhhmmhmmmmmhmmmm Drifting throough endless nights I know it’s wrong :D

@@2KOOLURATOOLGaming tememts on fire blazing through endless nights 🤣, I love that song!!!!

@@madmanterry7095 Brut is the best music to listen to while running on Mirror’s Edge Catalyst or destroying nazis on Wolfenstein Youngblood or clearing buildings in Insurgency Sandstorm... But mostly just doing parkour in the futuristic city of Glass in Mirror’s Edge Catalyst.

@@2KOOLURATOOLGaming or killing zombies in call of duty 😄

@Ping Lord amen!!!

The power of synthwave.

3:35 So you have easy access to your favorite part

Funnily enough, the guy who sings it is a devout Christian.

@@ostracized666ther2 what’s on his IG?

I think he may be on this album

same here! when i first listened to it i wasn't that keen on it, but now I cant stop??
