O, thank you very much!
Thank you for doing this. I know its a pain.
You're a hero :)
thank u thank u very much
Get this man a drink 🍻
There's only a handful of artists I get hyped to hear new music from and you're at the top of the list. Loving obsidian.
That is beyond appreciated, thank you!
And to add to the awesome, he just released it for free essentially...
@@Odium515 Very true... its helpful for the sake of sharing with people who aren't familiar...but gotta support artists you like or they can't keep making their music. I went onto Amazon and bought it asap.
@@lurchdevahl4117 that's true, good to hear that some people still are willing to support their favorite artists. Just let me give you an advice: Amazon is really exploiting the artists. Whenever you can, buy music/books and other stuff in a more directly way (like from Stahlis website or the label/publisher etc.). Most artists just release their stuff on Amazon because its "expected" from most people, but Amazon is taking an huge amount of the money.. just a kind advice
@@dreadhorbit ты будешь смеяться,но кнопка "купить" с официального сайта ссылается на Amazon
Blue Stahli was some of the first music I found when really getting into music, so many years ago, and I loved the sound immediately. It's been a while since Lakes Of Flame released, and in that time, my music taste has shifted quite a lot to being even heavier. I had begun to worry that I may not be able to connect with the eventual newer music in the same way I did back then, years ago. It brings me so much happiness that not only would the return be so triumphant, but that any fears I had were immediately put to rest. This trilogy has been incredible, and that means so much to me.
I'm so glad that this trilogy resonated with you, especially after you say you've preferred heavier stuff. I always maintain that people looking for "all heavy all the time" or even "all vocals all the time" just will not like what I do, so it's greatly appreciated that you found this action during your time of discovering what you like, and wound up liking it again. Thank you!
Same
@@bluestahli It took me awhile to warm up to your sound coming from Celldweller, but honestly really love your work. Keep it up!
@Jx Jx Dude shut up!! I used the self titled album to play Quake 2 when I revisited it like 9 years ago!! You nailed it hahaha
If I could describe how those 3 albums feels like in my imagination using simple analogy, then Quartz - Sledgehammer Copper - Silent Hill's mist Obsidian - Dark waters
I like that a lot! I haven't played Silent Hill, but I know the general atmosphere you're connecting with. that's amazing, thank you for listening!
Blue Stahli something tells me you will not only like the overall atmosphere, but the killer music behind it as well! Checkout Akira Yamaoka (sound design and composer for many Silent Hills)!
Thank you so much for the hard work that went into these. The anger, the pain, the heart, and the goofiness. Your music continues to mean so much
Many thanks! A lot went into this entire trilogy, and I'm so happy that it can connect
after i finish this once I'm going to listen to the full trilogy from start to finish who else is with me
I think that's a perfect idea
Definitely on board
I always click random KZhead recommendations for new music, and with this album I am extra glad I clicked. Looks like I have another artist to binge...
I accidentally came across this. What the heck is this??? I'm hearing many genres all together. My mind is blown away I love it \m/
Meet blue Stahlie the kings of the future sound.
I introduced my friend to Blue Stahli and he introduced me to Celldweller at around 2012, I still listen to both.
Once, a long time ago I saw a parked UPS truck downtown and the person driving the truck had gone inside a store probably to deliver a package. The music was playing from inside the truck and it was some rock song I didn't recognize, so I figured I'd just wait a little bit and see if I could ask this person what song it was. Somewhat unfortunately, the song changed, but it began playing a very familiar song, ULTRAnumb. I was super blown away that some random UPS driver I had never met listened to the same music I did. While I wasn't looking the driver had gotten into the truck. I waved at them and just called out "I really like your music taste!", she waved back and drove away. Was super surprising to see someone else listened to this music, and I'm really glad it's still going
The best stuff I've heard in a while
thank you!
Agree!
The song "The Mountain" is absolutely my favorite of all your work.
Never got out of my bed and on to Spotify so fast in my life, love you Bret!
Right back atcha! thanks so much for listening to this weirdness
I got chills when I saw that Bret himself replied to my comment
This was absolutely worth the wait, and I've only just finished the first song. Thank you, Bret.
Thank YOU! I'm glad you're enjoying this action
Some artists lose their luster over time, but Blue Stahli just gets better and better!
Bret, this is phenomenal. I've been so excited for this to drop, and I'm entranced. When you go hard, you go HARD, but damn if you don't bring it back up just as well. I can't decide on a favorite yet, but I'll enjoy my time trying to decide!
Thank you so much! I'm glad that the previous two albums were able to give a bit of a guide to what this one would be, and why it sounds the way it does. A lot of songs that I just couldn't hold in any longer. Enjoy!
accidentally stumbled here, and im like damn ive been missing out
Oh true
thank you bret for 9 years of enjoyment ive been listening to your music since i was 14 maybe 15 this album was as i predicted back a few months ago with copper being the quiet before the chaotic storm i have not been dissapointed
That's amazing! Thank you for being on this journey. I'm glad you dig this weird noise!
The perfect midnight walk through electronic swamps, hunting, hunted, haunting and haunted. Thanks for the badass trilogy and all your work, it made the winter survivable and even enjoyable
Thank you Bret, truly. Thank you for Quartz. Thank you for Copper. Thank you for Obsidian. Thank you for all the music and time you shared with us. But overall, thank you for being alive, for staying strong and being you.
Well this is one hell of a way to come back out of a depression nap. Loving hearing this all come together. Brett, you're too awesome my dude.
I feel incredibly lucky to have discovered you all those years ago. Don't ever forget the impact you make on someone half the world away. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Just woke up, will be listening to this album for the whole day :)
Excellent, enjoy!
Grabbing my coffee for work and seeing this uploaded, Thank you Bret for making our days a bit better, and this music keeps me at home in these trying times. Much love from the Netherlands!
I first discovered you at 14 and your music been an irreplaceable force driving me forward through good and bad. Having this album come out at such a turbulent time has been such a source of joy, thanks for doing what you do and I look forward to supporting this and all your future endeavours too!
That was just incredible!! The sound design, the fusion between rock and electronics, the timbres, the feelings but especially FEELINGS! It was like being part of a little movie :D and I absolutely love when these things happen. Bret... you're an Artist
Wow... just wow... Went off the grid from social media and really got off the loop... Just today wearing your Ultra-Numb shirt I wondered "Whatever happened to Bret?" Turns out it was more of a "whatever happened to me?" that I haven´t discovered this trilogy earlier... Just wen to amazon and bought the 3 albums, blasting my brains away right now with Quartz.... Congratulations man, I´ve been a fan since the first Anti-sleep, even before the release of the self titled album (What a masterpiece) and I just gotta say you're consistent with your style as hell, but always taking a new approach... I really appreciate all the effort and work that goes into this type of music as well, your material is always fire!! I always wear my semi-worn out shirt with pride since it's a great T, but today I wear it even more proudly, again, CONGRATULATIONS, you always outdo yourself. Greetings from Spain!
knowing now the context behind Quartz, Copper and Obsidian and what they represent in your personal journey, im very happy to see you didn't stop making music and you keep creating amazing album after amazing album. please dont stop, i loved every album youve made so far and these are no exception
where does he talk about it? would love to learn more
This album feels like home so much.
absolutely bret's voice brings me back to being a kid listening to deluxe stahli on the ride home
Thank you, i always get so hyped to hear your music.
Randomly stumbled over this album after listening to a decent amount of Brets stuff before, and my god, Legion slaps hard. I love this song so much.
I listen to your music for years now and you still produce extremely awesome new work. Looking forward to future albums!
Just discovered you guys tonight and can’t stop listening. Brilliant work. Hope there’s a physical release of these albums on the way.
It's been a LOOOONG time since I've just sat and listened to an entire album from start to finish. Thank you for creating all the great music over the years. You inspire me so much.
Thank you so much, Bret. You have turned a challenging season of your life (to say the least) into some fine art. I absolutely love this chapter of the album trilogy and it will likely remain my favorite for 2021.
I think this might be my new favorite work you've put out, I love it!
Your music has been pretty much the only stuff I listen to these last few years, and I just wanna say thank you very much for these latest releases. I can't say enough good things about you or your music, every new song has left me speechless at how powerful and awesome it is. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Man, what a ride, thank you Bret for the hard work. I hope you continue to kick ass in the coming years and release the noises that are locked in your head for all of us to enjoy. Much Love.
Listeng to your music for 3 years now, and I say that you're getting better and better every year
This album is so dynamic, so many genres! It's refreshing between each song.
I've been listening to your music for over 10 years now and I can never get bored of it. Thank you for your work mate! Cheers from Hungary
I’m relatively new to your music, and while I’ve been listening to other albums for a few months, this is my first time listening to this full trilogy. I can undoubtedly say your work is insanely amazing and I’m absolutely hooked. I literally cannot express how much I love your music
I have been looking forward to this album since I heard about it. The soul in your music is evident now more than ever, the heart, the experiemental sounds. Cheers to you sir.
It is so beautiful! It's already the third day I've been listening and I can't stop! Thank you so much for your work!!!
I love how he has such a wild variety in all of his works. But you still recognise it right away.
This was a beautiful album. Deeply expressive and connective. The style changes from song to song, but it flows expertly. I had unbidden chills during the last few tracks. Thanks for making this!
Am I crazy, or was the soundtrack for Dark Reign sampled for the first song? Maybe it was a stock orchestral hit, or a common sound, but it sounds just like it! Great music, been listening since your debut album, Stahli!
yeah my mind immediately went to dark reign
Think earlier, Might And Magic, going into turn based combat.
Instablaster...
These tunes hit differently... Just amazing...
Well well well, here we finally are, the end has arrived and our travel in the Dead Channel is ending with that absolute madness of an album. Ngl, I've never expected Bret to overcome his previous achievements with Devil and amazing Quartz. BUT THIS... THIS IS THE NEXT LEVEL OF MUSIC
Every time I listen to this album, I hear something new. Like a new layer of sound or a lyric I didn’t focus on before. I love it.
Man bret u nailed this album,love the variety of sound and style,congrats to the awesome album,hope u make a second sunset neon as well if possible,love u man.u sir are awesome 😊
thank you! This album, and the whole trilogy, was a ton of work! As for your other hope...I'd suggest watching the "Summoning the Traveller" video of The Butterfly Tourism Board til the very end
Yeah. Definitely cant wait to hear more Sunset Neon for sure.
Bret is the only one who mix cyberpunk metal with melodic parts perfectly. I love your melodic parts with your voice of soul and emotions. Thats awesome. Cheers from germany.
I really love the shift to a more darker, ambient kind of setting. Especially in the song Gravity and Pgornosis, two absolute incredible songs. It's amazing how he is keeping it kinda calm and soothing, while going very heavy (not too fast / aggressive but rather "mildly" heavy) The guitar tuning is almost Deathcore tier tuning... I would call this one of the best modern Progressive Metal album of the year.
Awesome music as always! been waiting with anticipation for this and it delivered!
Bret ...you are a true talent! I found your music a year and a half ago and have been completely obsessed with your style and creativity. Great job on Obsidian....I hope this continues to catapult your career! Rock on!!
Catastrophe ❤❤❤❤ and it was so happy feeling to hear BS in cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack 👍
Love you Bread! You're so fluffy and full of carbs
Who *doesn't* love carbs? You have now inspired me to pop open a celebratory bag of pretzels
This comment made me laugh out loud xD
Amazing album, really enjoying this style - hauntingly beautiful, can't get the vocals out of my head. Thank you so much. Your music really does make the world a better place.
This gives me some 2011 vibes, and I'm all for it.
Omg I'm so happy to listen to a new album been in love with your music since 2011
Amazing job, man! I still wear my full print Obsidian shirt you guys sold way back when. Glad to see you putting out so much more music after your split. Keep up the great work dude!
Wow, thank you very much for the support this entire time! And funfact: that old shirt was designed by Virocity, who has also done a ton of my previous stuff, and most importantly, ALL the graphic design/merch/web stuff for this trilogy! He's in creative director role because some things that he would offhandedly say would be cool during meetings, wound up inspiring a lot of the further video content as well!
@@bluestahli Haha, sounds like a great dude to be around. Bet he's one of those one in a million guys that you can't do without. I really look forward to your future work. Your vocal tracks are all my favorites. Amazing voice!
This dark sinister sequence in Obsidian is the most fascinating piece of music I've heard in the last 5 years. Fantastic!
Perfect start on a new day listening through this awesome album. Superb job on the album Bret.
such a calm and soothing album! perfect to listen while sorting papers, working, drawing n stuff
I'm loving this solemn macabre sound you evolved to, Bret. It fits me today just as well as your old music did at the time of publishing. Congrats on this masterpiece!
Thanks man, needed something new to feel that we actually entered 2021! this did it greatly
Happy Birthday obsidian:D💙💜 And the Dead channel trilogy!!!
Truth be told, I was not expecting this at all. From all the singles we have received so far (and the preview of catastrophe) I never would’ve expected the last few songs to be a mix of ambiance and beautiful singing. However! Not only has this entire album astonished me but has possibly become one of (if not the) my favorite albums of all time. It has been a ride to hell and back but in the end we have arrived. Now please join me as we descend further into obsidian.
Thanks so much! My multi-genre approach isn't for everybody, so I *greatly* appreciate when it does find a home and make a positive impact.
This album is a damn *masterpiece.* The sound design, the sheer range of emotions - EVERYTHING about this is absolutely exquisite. A perfect conclusion to the best musical experience I've ever had. Very well done.
My sweet unholy hell, this album takes everything I've known from you and just slams it all together into a beautiful masterpiece. These three chapters have been a wonderful onslaught from you and a welcomed one. You can hear and feel the emotion put into each track from start to finish. Great work man! Absolutely outstanding. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go pick up my jaw off the floor.
Sick! 0:00 Obsidian, 20:52 Legion, 23:57 One Last Breath are my favorites
You’ve never lost your touch for making great music, and I’m sure all of us fans can agree this is a wonderful and very true to yourself album. Thank you for all the hard work you’ve put into this masterpiece trilogy!
Really powerful album :D I've been listening to it loop since I discovered the release. I love the amount of feeling you can put in your songs. It feels dark but somehow ... also a bit comforting to me? There are times where your music really gives me a lot of energy and I'm grateful for that :D Please keep it up !
The mountain! This is epic - this is Blue Stahli!
Woah! - such a dope discovery! Amazing production and range. "Catastrophe" is my favorite atm but every track has its moments. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Bret. Awesome trilogy!
Hey Bret! Just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart...thank you for all your music. Every time I listen to a Blue Stahli song, I am listening to your own unique genre. You reach far and wide into this world, with boundless creativity and inspiration! -A proud Blue Stahli fan
Man oh man am I glad I found these guys
This is just beautiful, thank You Bret for this deadchannel trip, big hug and love for You fella
One of my absolute favorite albums!
One of the best albums in 2021. Love it! Ty! You are a True Artist! 👍🏿💯
Complete banger of an album. I love the sprinkling of slower tracks. The emotion in both Quartz and Obsidian is so strongly felt, whether it's melancholy or rage, it's so damn good. Totally worth the wait!
I haven't quit listening to this since it came out. Amazing.
The perfect dark marriage between sweet, succulent vocal work and heavy hitting, gritty instrumentals that defies explanation and warrants spiritual introspection
Incredible! Bret, thank you for making all of our 2021's a little bit better. Now I have a dark cyberpunk soundtrack to accompany my college homework!
Oh yes! I love your vocal work, the wait was worth it. Been a fan since the release of Ultranumb, this album slaps
I am amazed and love the transition between the "episodes" of the deadchannel trilogy, and your whole evolution from The Devil. Really enjoy the new sound, didn't ever hear such combination before, not only from you but from any other artist. Stay healthy, and create what you want and how you want.
fire!!! your talent is unmatched!
I've been a huge fan of your music since Antisleep Vol.1 and now it's time to add this awesome new album to my collection! I love you, man!
Obsidian is just too good. Keep up the amazing work Bret!
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing!
Blasting this as i workout every day. One Last Breath is my favorite. So good it makes -20C winter feel like summer.
Blue Stahli u are awesome . On my top 5 list with Klayton (all he does) Battle Juice and Dance with the dead.
dude what a banger album. Thank you for sharing
Phenomenal work man, that sounds amazing
Amazing. By far my favorite artist. Best regards from Croatia
Your fan since like 10 years ago. Love this! Much love from Bulgaria
Through my restless dreams, Into the nothingness of whereaces. Splendid work, love it.
The epic sound of that intro track alone is worth the album purchase
As a newer listener of your music it feels like I missed out on a lot that went on in your life but it sounds great! You've got yourself a new fan!
You`re soooo amazing!! Love you and your songs!
