What a beautiful one! Eisbrecher did their job and now you fulfilled your's!
Gorgeous background, reminds me of a lava lamp and adds a real great atmosphere. And the pulsating, spinning, beating and the skipping (can't describe it, 0:39) logo; the way its transparency leaves during the chorus and the words fly out of it, THAT one time beating of those - the whole thing is coherent and just a feast for the eyes.
I love every single frame, thank you very much!!

FINALLY! THE VIDEO THAT FOR THE LONGEST TIME WAS MY TOP FAVORITE VIDEO OF YOURS (since then your production has been crazy, so I have no idea what video is on "TOP" now).
Imagine it would take me THIS long to write my book on it! Whenever I was ready to start, you always made something new, which inspired me to write about that 😂

I have a feeling this is going to be a long one 👀

The video starts strong, and impresses me from the first frame already. The album logo, slowly spinning around, and the smooth smoke (which I only now noticed is mirrored) gliding across the screen. It's classy, sorta hypnotic, and the way it seems (to me at least) to be moving both in front and behind of the logo gives it so much depth, and makes it all look so impressive. I think this and the previous one were the beginning of your truly golden age of custom animations, and it blew me away when I first saw it. How is it possible to look so good?? Now, of course, I've learned to expect to be blown away, as you always do something new and creative. The music is kinda entrancing as well, and the visuals and music plays off each other perfectly. As the music slowly builds up, I'm locked into the "play" of the smoke, and the slowly rotating symbol I see on the screen, getting hyped up for it to properly "start" 😎😎😎

And here we go!
Font in classic Eisbrecher style, as you've used before, looks as good as always. The text is pulsating to the beat of the song, as is the logo. You KNOW I love this sh*t 😎
the yellow text and smoke on the black background is perfect, as those are the theme for this album (as seen in the logo in the middle). This is a theme you've used in several of your LMM tracks, and I *love* it.
You also vary on your placing of the text, which also shows that you know what you are doing (no surprise there). The first line was short, so it could be placed in one... Uhm... Line. (Hmm. I can already tell my wording is going to be confusing 🤣 okay, let's call the lines in the lyrics for "phrases", and the placing on the screen for lines? Yeah, I'll do that... Hopefully you'll understand what I mean xD)
So! The first *phrase* was short enough to fit in one line, and still be big enough to be easily read. And looking good 😎 the second phrase, a little longer this time, were split into two lines, which gives it better room and makes it easier to read. You might have had the esthetics in mind when doing it, though, and rightly so. It looks good, and it gives variation, which I have mentioned in previous books that I'm a big fan of.
Next phrase does something new again, with half the phrase coming first, and just the last word changed in the second half of the phrase. Change is good. As with the next phrase. All in the same line, pulsating, revealing the text as it's sung this time. Cool. Cool cool cool.

And then something *REALLY cool* happens 👀
Up until now the logo has been pulsating to the beat, while rotating evenly - but now the rotation itself is skipping ahead as the music skips, *and* with the already pulsating effect! It's cooool. I lack a better word for it. Awesome. Splendid.
- You get what I mean. This is for the break between the two verses. When second verse comes in, it latches itself onto the logo and its effects, and joins the ride back to the bottom of the screen, and that is just plain awesome. Again, sorry for the lack of words, I don't feel they hold up *at all* 😅
The second verse is just as entertaining as the first one. Your effects makes it seem so alive, and it draws my eyes to the lyrics, making it easy to pay attention, even though there's so much interesting going on on the screen.

Then the last phrases before the chorus 👀
The fonts are placed all over the screen, in different sizes, unevenly surrounding the logo in the middle. The logo itself does something different as well. By the time this part starts, the black lightning bolt is facing downwards, and it stays that way. Instead of rotating, the logo zooms slowly in and out (in time with the music, of course), while moving to a different beat. It draws me in immediately, and tells me with no uncertainty that things are going to change. A LOT.

CHORUS TIME.
Logo goes back to spinning, faster this time, as the chorus is heavier and more up beat than the verses. Pulsating to the drums, making sure it's high energy. The last phrases disappeared to each drum beat (one of the gazillion small details that make your work sooo good), and the first phrases of the chorus comes with a brand new quality. The font is huge, and the colors a little bit different. Like a misprint - or almost like an old-timey 3D-effect 😅 tho still mainly yellow. The words are *thrown* out from under the logo, stretching out before jumping back in, ready for the next phrase. The next two lines just changes while stretching in and out. As the words stretch, so does the colors, and at times the colors don't match up at all. It all seems very hypnotic, and slightly trippy, even 🥴😂

After this going on twice, only the smoke and the logo remains. The logo isn't spinning, but pulsating to the beat as the song is slowly building up again.

Third verse comes in, just as good as the previous ones. What's new here, is what happens between the third and fourth verse. Where in last transition between verses, you only had the first phrase of the second verse follow the logo around till it reached the bottom, and the verse started - you now had the same thing happen, only in reverse, to the last phrase of the third verse. That was very clumsily explained, but the gist of it was "your effect mad me go *"ooh"*" 😂😅

After a reprise of the amazing chorus, it's *bridge time* 🌿🌿🌿

As the synth plays, the logo (no longer spinning) is surrounded by this audio visualizing effect, and it looks awesome. The drums and the guitar kicks in, and the screen flashes between the smoke and yellow font and a completely empty, black background and yellow-outlined black fonts, spelling out huge weords, one at the time. The effect is VERY jarring and effective! Again, I'm beyond words 😅 it's just plain impressive and awesome 🤘😎
As the music stops for a beat, the whole screen turned black. As the next phrase is sung out, only those show up, in the same styles as seconds before, only now it's yellow fonts on a black screen. As soon as the drums comes back in, so does the logo. By the time he reaches the powerful sung word of "monster", the rest of the band comes in, as does the smoke and the stretching effects of the word. Tho the color effect does not show up here. Variation. *muah* 😉👌
The word bends around the logo before stretching out to a single line, repeating itself whenever it's sung. Guitar riff comes in, and the logo vibrates like crazy as it continues to spin around. It lasts as long as the sound does, continuing as the first words from the chorus repeats itself, in the same style as before. Only when it reaches "monsters" again, does the logo calm down. But by the end of the last mention, the word starts vibrating as he goes over to a growl. Then, the logo does a small zoom out (small details ♥️), and the "original" style of the chorus returns, with the color effect and everything. Again, as the song halts for one beat, so does the screen go completely black. The song plays out with the rotating logo, dancing to the drum beat, and the plain text underneath, at the end changing from yellow font to yellow-outlined black fonts, and the logo turning around the other direction, before coming to a stop. THE END.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is truly magic, and it was so much fun revisiting it again! Thank you for making these, and for being such an amazing person!! ❤️

Much love, Stine 🤗♥️🦒

Love it.
Blown away, as usual.
Still surprised you always manages to up your previous vids.
Not sure about my list anymore, it's so long ago I thought about it.
This is definitively the new #1 tho.

*applause*
