They committed the crime of the century: Drop 3 epic songs and vanished, leaving us wanting more

Nine years already since we last heard from these talented folks. It feels kind of melancholic and nostalgic.

Three songs uploaded 7 years ago, and vanished like morning mist. Such potential, I do hope they're at least still doing their thing, wherever they are.

Every once in a while, I come back to these songs and remember just how in love I was with the stories they told. I was fourteen/fifteen then, and I'm twenty-one now, still absolutely enamored :')

This is a great science song. First, wonder at the world. Second, realize the methods you're handed from earlier scientists are not good enough, so invent new tools to keep pushing forward. Third, resolve to perfect those tools. Fourth, a bit of despair as you realize there'll always be more questions and you can never answer everything. And finally, resolve to accept the data and results you get, even if they offend you or contradict what you were told as a child. In other words "I will not hide my eyes. I will never look away."

Out of their three pieces of music, The Watchmaker's Apprentice is still my favourite, but this is spectacular in itself.

Droped three bangers and left

I hope these guys come back, this is one band I'd love to donate to, my gosh.

I feel so lucky that I know of these artists. Only three songs froma decade ago and less than 500 thousands views. Hopefully they are well 🙏🏽

God damn it, I just found these guys today, and they only have three songs. ;-; Why cant awesome stuff like this get funded...

Imagine being this scientist in the steampunk world of machinists and alchemists. He is trying to discover the answers to the largest and smallest things in existence through the unaccepted practice of scientific method. Eventually being shunned out of society, cast out to the sticks, and made as a fool, and all the while, he passionately tries to find the scientific answers, if not for the world, then for the sake of at least his knowledge. Its more of a drive to insanity through the wrath and eyes of society than true insanity here, which then sheds a new light on the other two characters in the mad trio.

These guys are so operatic. It might be interesting for them to string together a story between all these characters and make an opera.

Wish these guys would make a comeback. Still my favorite steampunk band of all time. Absolutely underrated and the songs still give me chills. Actually vividly remember this song releasing while I was in middle school. I was so fucking excited to see a new song had released and was not disappointed.

I do hope that these amazing people come back

INTRO: Am I the only one? No others dare to seek Answers within the world, signs showing what this world means I ground a set of lenses and trained them on the stars I quantified the evening skies, examined every part I analysed the glory of a thousand cosmic shapes And watched the glory fade I searched across the face of God And found just empty space Look clo - ser, look clo - ser And surely you'll find your goal You'll surely find the way I built my new laboratory to shelter from the world I turned my gaze from moons and suns to particles of dirt But soon surmised my lenses weren't sufficient to display The truths I sorely craved I ground more glass, aligned the parts And recommenced the chase Look clo - ser, look clo - ser And one day the world will know The world will know your name I'm sure I'm getting nearer, I haven't slept in days The answers are in front of me, but hidden from my gaze My lenses won't illuminate the questions that I face Some truths won't be betrayed While I fight to reach the light The silent dark pervades Look clo - ser, look clo - ser I'll never hide my eyes I'll never look away

I had a chat with the creators and they had told me they are not financially stable at the moment so once they are they will continue making the stories they will also make songs also (not confirmed)

I think it's safe to say that this was one of the best bands of the last decade.

Finally! If you guys knew how much I adored The Doctor's Wife and The Watchmaker's Apprentice! So happy to see something new from you!

I miss these guys, their concept and the comic o their site had such potential.

I am an automaton i cannot cry, it is beyond my mechanisms, oh my what is this oil leaking from my eyepiece?

The more we learn, the more we realize we'll never know.

This band is awesome!!! It's a pity that they disappeared.

Such a mournful song of science

For me, this is the spirit of steampunk at its best, the scientist as a poete maudit ... Striving for a dark infinite to draw him beyond the everyday ...

Automatically favorite... a masterpiece! Beautiful voices and instruments played, well done keep on good work :).

The solution: Electron microscopes! ... Wait, those just reveal atoms. Is that truth universal enough for you?

This is just a great song about the mindset of scientists, who just have an incredible passion to understand the mysteries of this strange universe we live in, and perhaps find some meaning to it. That really adds to the beauty of this song. See how important lyrics are everybody? :-P

I elevated you to dear and all the other fine people with a refined and unusual taste in music and probably good taste in general...- why shouldn't we be full of ourselves and think we are special - the whole world keeps wanting to bring everyone down - and we are convinced we must bring ourselves down too - you are special and unique and amazing and not a sheep deal with it - screw the masses !

I wholeheartedly concur with you mister/misses, this piece, like the other pieces from this Quartet, is just plain pure brilliant.

Wow, it finally came out? After Such a long time I suddenly, wthout any special reason, decide to go to their site and now I see that the song just came out yesterday ? Nice!

Cmon guys it's time to come back we miss you

Oh please god in heaven, may this group return

This band is AMAZING!!!! I don't get why they only made three songs.

Haunting. Beautiful. Dreamlike. You guys still have it.

Another one! I thought another song would never come, so I literally squealed when I found this. You guys are amazing, I can't get enough of these! :D

What's happened to these guys? They've kind of just disappeared. =( I love their music so much but I just wish there was more.

My God this is too beautiful for words

aye. Come back. I love you xD lol your music is perfect. :D

Like a Tim Burton movie

You do speak a truth, my fine fellow. A good part of the fun of Steampunk is the sense of sophistication and grandeur, that we have the rare good taste to enjoy something so classy yet also so dark and wild!

Huh. When I first listened to this song, I thought "I searched across the face of God" was "I searched [for] the cross, the face of God". I thought the song was about a religious scientist who wanted to find the proof of his religion in scientific truth, but failed to do so.

His voice reminds me of the phantom of the opera

These songs really are amazing and definitely equal to Abney Park :D Please continue producing more! Oh, and what an awesome voice the male has *totally jealous*

I have been waiting for this for ever and finally just got a email telling me it is out. Shock, surprise and glee!

Beautiful songs, guys. Ojalá más gente os escuchará

Great song, and lyrics as well!

Days since discovering this was posted: 5 Times watched: 30+

And what have we learned today, my dear scientist? Wikipedia is your friend. ;) Really, though, this is a beautiful song, so happy the Quartet hasn't given up!

The first time I listened to this song I did not he what it was about, but liked it anyhow. It took a couple of times for me to truly understand what it meant. Wow...just...wow..

Come back :( I love this group!

your songs are beautiful

I love how he pronounces "laboratory".

Ironic how they didn't even make a quartet of songs before stopping

thank you i appreciate it

Thinking of C'thulhu mythos mixed with steam punk :D

I am in love

According to youtube, this band only ever made three songs; this one, doctor's wife, and watchmaker's apprentice.

Hope they will come back

Really nice, now do another :P

this is so god I'm angry they stopped producing haha

It's been 7 years you guys, where have you been?

Guys almost 5 mill subs it's showtime for another song

The poor guy. He was born in the era when Christians still believed that 'the heavens' were literally the stars and milky way and so became what we know as an astronomer to analyze 'heaven itself'. And he found nothing that really stirred his religious heart. Just points of lights and smears of colors. The entire universe before him and he found it inadequate.

me too

My favorite ^o,.., ^

if you mean the black lines and words; i think is is some astronomical stuff, if you look closer you can read the word taurus in combination with the song text i gues its a part of a zodiac circle

Great work [my exclamation key is busted]

Are you kidding? Or just a potential super-villain? Because if it's the latter, I promise to not stand in the way of your world domination.

❤❤❤❤📯❤❤❤📯😍😘👋🏼

Checking in any progress or other music?

afry time i start this song he sounds like jack skeliton

Found myself linking this song in response to election results.

You are no Harrison Bergeron, and the ignorance of others (even willfull ignorance), does not detract from the worth of the masses. Any good thing in today's world is powered by people, fostered by community, cooperation, and collaboration. To dismiss people as sheep is to believe that we as a species are not capable of better, which is something I can't accept. If I see something worthwhile, then it is worth being shared. Your elitism doesn't help artists, or encourage greatness; it's selfish.

BONJOUR SUPER VIDEO [MA TOUCHE MAJ EST CASSE]

so is it steam punk or diesel punk

does one really need a reason ?

...and I'm a potato.

I wouldn't really classify this as Dieselpunk. Dieselpunk has more of a powerful, mechanical feel to it.

Huh?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat the fuck is that reflected on the glass?

but I think you are better than other people regardless of how much you protest - its meant as a compliment

Sorry I just have to comment for reasons.

its not "kind of" an elitist view it is absolutely categorically unequivocally an elitist view - ) and I think most people are sheep and have no taste nor understanding and little brains - I don't give a hoot about them nor the music industry as a whole - I support these gem like bands I buy their albums if they have or just songs !

I respectfully disagree - this is extraordinary music the musical equivalent to Haute Couture ! it is not for the masses it is not for the plebs and the riff raffs I do not want them finding it....I am glad that a you and I belong to some sort of small elitist group who appreciate this for the maniacal genius that it is.....if the riff raff find it they will bring trolls and idiots -

Yup. But instead, people like Niki Manaj (or however you spell her damn name) get a crap ton of views for being shit...

Anyone else hearing Steward from Family guy here? :P
