Periphery - "Icarus Lives!" with Casey's vocals posted!

[Omnitopia]

It took me a few listens to get used to the new Icarus, but It's possibly one of my favorite songs of all time now.

GRAVITY IS JUST A FEEBLE PLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

That part absolutely fucking kicks my ass. I always have to rewind.

His screaming voice is identifiably THE scream I wanna be able to do some day - loads of grit, not too death metally, and he can go from intensely high ranged stuff to ass-rapingly low-pitched growls in the matter of seconds.

Please send Casey a message saying you love his scream.

Please send Casey a message saying you love his scream.

I already told him I loved his stuff.. hmm

Yeah but mention the scream!! Tell him how awesome his scream is, like send him a message everyday.

I made a Djent cd up last night with this on, and listened to it in the car. There was only one thing I could think about the vocals. Damn I hope we get a vocalist near that sort of quality.

Take this to people who've never heard the original and they'll love it. Hell I'd only heard the original once or twice, this will be on constant play for a looooong time.

Just thought I'd come back to comment that this version has grown on me so much that parts of it damn near bring a tear to my eye. Fucking brilliant Has the perfect balance of beauty/delicacy and brutalness/insanity.

the original is so great. the old vocals sound like that song Earth Crisis did with the guy from machine head on guest vocals. One against One i think it's called

You pretty much said it all right there. New version FTW for me. Been listening all day.

 

[ZeroSignal]

If only the new version had THE line.

You know...

"The Sky keeps callin' mah NAME!!!"

 

[Espaul]

If I understood correctly, then they can't use any of the old lyrics written by... jake is it?

Correct. The new ones are just as good but they are missing the single greatest lyric of all time.

EDIT: Btw Jake. I'm your biggest fan!

And Warrel Dane and Nevermore kick-arse period. TBH I never liked Warrell Dane in the beggining either, but now I could not hear Nevermore in my head with any other vocals.

it takes a while to "get him"

 

[B Lopez]

Alright, after listening to this for some time now I like it more than the instrumental now.

Hope "The Fast Ones" gets some vocals. *wink-wink*
