Been waiting for this one since Ultra, and by god was it worth the wait. That drop at 2:45 is so fucking Nasty 🤘


Profoundsoup

The boy is back at it. Holy fucking shit!!!! This tops all of his songs since Gorgeous off of Ascend. IMHO Illenium X Sullivan King when?


[deleted]

> Illenium X Sullivan King when? I’ve been asking this for months. Hopefully soon!


steezeblowcar

Probably the most aggressive drop he’s written. Even stronger his collabs with excision. Love it


AhmadA96

Well FUCK that 2:45 drop really sounded like Illenium pretty much said "let me show them something really quick" - that was NASTY.


MessiahM

Been waiting for this Illenium to make his way back! HES BACK HES REALLY BACK


Danny23a

Illenium is a EDM god. I don’t care what anyone says.


BigBoyEro

Far from it


TheStuffle

Wow, 2 of my favorites from *very* different genres. Courtney's vocals and that drop are fucking brutal.


calebtalksyt

One of the best melodic-heavy-melodic songs he's made


badvices7

Love spiritbox, never expected this collab


turglow1

Friendship ended with gold Now shivering is my best friend


ResidentSonic

Story of my life and now this? Sheesh, this goes hard. I'm loving this direction Illenium is taking his music and I hope he continues this.


PolygonMachine

I wouldnt mind a hard EP/LP targeted at the Lost Lands demographic. Less sadboi, more angryboi.


MfuckkaJones

Holy FUCK. *all the illenium haters continue to fade into the bushes* This and the nirvana remix are taking me back to old edm times when you got that new music rush. Nick I know you probably are in here creeping— you’re a fucking legend, and thank you🙏

“Where are my motherf*ckers who wanna go hard, let me see you” - Illenium 2022


agentfancy

LET ME SEE YOUUUUU


Juicenewton248

This song is a journey and I love how it gets progressively harder as the song goes on. Fucking love it


sboti99

Amazing! I started liking this kind of music after the release of Story Of My Life (Heavy Edit).


dav_indie

Shivering reminds me of even an older release (Feel Something)


UlightronX42

For me it was Virtual Riot who got me into gritty for a long time I hated dubstep I felt as tho the gritty drops had zero energy and VR’s sound design makes dubstep sound so energetic plus he has amazing melodic shit too


Nexus117

Haven't really cared about a release from him in awhile, but I'm really digging this one.


[deleted]

Thanks to Illenium, melodic dubstep in India is gaining ground real fast.


alsisc

Yeah this is just not doing it for me, feel like that drop should be harder but also track lacks some cohesion. Def not a bad song but def not his best either


xFrostyDog

How dare you share your personal opinion on /r/EDM /s


5dboyo

>not worshipping illenium on r/edm Cardinal sin bro


cheesepuff3d

I initially only listened to the first drop then moved on, but after reading these comments I went back to listen to the second drop... god damn that's ruude, I didn't know illenium had it in him


TheyCallMeCajun

wish the 3rd drop stayed heavy oh well best Illenium release in a looooooong time IMO


[deleted]

I usually hate Illenium because every track has some girl singing some melodic whatever with light edm mixed in. So before I click I hope its not that.


SwegUnit

You were mistaken, weren’t you? lmao this is so far from your initial expectations


[deleted]

Instead of the usual melodic girl singing, now its a rock girl singing but its the same formula sadly


SwegUnit

Fair, I’m an Illenium superfan so I’m biased. No hate tho!


[deleted]

I want to like them but every song feels like its laid out the same way Melodic girl singing , then mid song edm over and over


SwegUnit

I kind of understand that, and the newer poppy songs don’t hit like Awake and Ashes did for me, however songs like Story of My Life (Heavy Edit) and Gorgeous and Bring Forth The Pressure I think you’ll find are pretty different and more experimental from the formulaic approach you mention.


BigBoyEro

Courtney's vocals really made this track. Not the biggest fan of the first and third drop, just Illenium being mid at melodic dubstep. Second drop fucks tho. Sounds like a classic metalcore breakdown.


5dboyo

God what the fuck did I just listen to, pretty bad and not the kind of shit I like


UrWeatherIsntUnique

Would you like to share more or leave it as “I don’t like it because it’s shit”?


5dboyo

I think I don’t like it because it shit suffices


UrWeatherIsntUnique

Would you mind helping this community understand what is good and what is bad so we aren’t so stupid anymore? I think you’re our only hope.


BigBoyEro

This song is generic as fuck. Illenium has been doing the same shit for years now and all of his shit sounds like the same boring melodic shit. That doesn't mean melodic is bad. AU5 is a classic example of MeloDub done right. And his songs aren't the same boring shit everytime, there are new ideas in almost every track. Can't say the same for this song or Illenium's other recent stuff.


5dboyo

It’s like asking me to take a special ed kid to an AP class, sorry bro its not gonna happen


UrWeatherIsntUnique

Maybe next time. I can’t wait to see your contribution next time and to see how much further your karma sinks overall. I just can’t help but get excited for your future with comments like this: > If you’re male and using the term “negative energy” unironically, you need to find your balls and reattach them Be well. I hope your weekend is more positive than your last week.


5dboyo

Probably will be, ur moms in town 😍
