ALAYA - Inside (Official Music Video - Basick Records)

LYRICS:

Collision led you bound
as blood poured from your mouth,
forward to the red that met with envy;
a phantom in the frame
to find her way inside.

Cut into the axial sinking teeth through tongue.

Tonight no one can take it away.
And before I find the words to explain
you'd kill me again.
So enjoy your last night.

Cut into the axial sinking teeth through tongue.

Tonight no one can take it away.
And before I find the words to explain
you'd kill me again.
So enjoy your last night.

"Once in a blue moon a band comes along that defies description and hits the spot so hard that you're left breathless and bewildered. Alaya are all that and more. They're progressive, wildly inventive and authentically epic, but they also have an air of otherworldly magic about them. This is how you combine melody and complexity with results that put goosebumps on your goosebumps. This is how you push metal into the future. Alaya are bringing the next level of crushing, intricate and thrillingly soulful metal fusion. Transcendental, triumphant, utterly fucking mind-blowing. The game just changed forever." - Dom Lawson, Metal Hammer Magazine, Classic Rock Magazine, Prog Magazine

BASICK RECORDS are ridiculously excited to welcome U.S. band ALAYA to their rapidly growing international roster.

'Inside' is taken from the debut ALAYA album, 'Thrones' - 2013 via BASICK RECORDS.

"For the 'Inside' video we decided to work again with accredited producer and our long time friend, Bob Packo. We started with the concept of a play through but chose to approach it in a different way. The camera angles, lighting and focus are not typical of a play through video and create a unique experience for the viewer that fits well with the energy conveyed by the music. We shot the video DIY style at our rehearsal space. Bob brought a crew in and we cleared the space, hung back drops, set up lighting and camera rigs and spent a full day shooting.....shooting, eating crappy pizza and drinking craft beers. We got some great footage and had a blast putting the whole thing together. Bob and his team edited and wrapped everything up for us in a few days and we're excited about how it turned out!" - Michael Brandt Rinkenberger - Bass/Vocals

'Inside' is a PacMen Production.
Produced by Bob Packo and Marc Menet.

Unit Production Manager, Ryan Sailsbery.

We should have 13 years of Alaya albums since this absolutely banger. We were robbed.

[killedyesterday]

2024...still listening to this masterpiece.... greeting from Indonesia

[soultax]

Many cool bands were born on this label❤

[samreed]

2022 and still a banger. Serious Periphery vibes.

[doylemcpoyle]

I still listen to this song. One of my favs

[gezaszeidler]

Ayala is The Revolution of Metal Sound, Top!!!

[Mattshea]

Video is well done, love that the editor actually stuck with the shot of the guitar for the solo, rather than cutting every second.

[garyrsingleton]

Shoutout to an amazing song that was ruined by a remix for its full length release. The mix here is eons better than what we got on the album.

[TJFogarty]

I've forgotten how long it's been since I've seen a band play six-string guitars. Awesome.

[evangrahamdunn]

That's the best compliment I could have ever dreamed for.

[JayDC]

Hope that on the back of the album release that a tour will make its way to Australia to appreciate this excellence first hand

[horchada]

The vocalist has that spencer vibe going on. I absolutely love it!

[basickrecords]

It would appear that lots of people are wanting to hear new material from

[rjbarde]

Sweet jesus...the last 60 seconds made my ears shiver

[ChrisLT]

Oh, I've listened to that EP literally hundreds of times (Red has had its share of listens, too!)

I just wish more people had the chance to hear that sweet Jaida part at 2:20, or that little run at 2:43 in Doctor of Paris ;)

[travisburry]

More people need to learn about this band,

[Samzee]

I really hope you guys beef up the snare for the final mix. All that sick ghosting needs to be less ghostly!

[ajkeefner]

Hope these guys get huge...they deserve it. This is gonna be an absolute killer album! For those of you who don't care for the vocals...check out their first two EPs as The Alaya Conscious, they're instrumental. Either way, both instrumental or not, these guys are ridiculous musicians.

[zeronine-eightyfour]

This is def something new in the scene. The kind of vocals i wouldn't expect and impressive to see that it is only a 3 piece band! looking forward to that album!

[clayparal]

Reminds me the way hard music used to be. Awesome sound!
