Aviators - Metal Won't Burn (Armored Core Song | Alternative Rock)

Instrumental Version:

(Apple Music version: APPLE CALL ME BACK PLEASE)

About time, right? FROM Software got me again, and managed to make another stellar game with addictive combat. "Metal Won't Burn" attempts to Capture Armored Core 6's bleak and emotionless world, and reflects on a loss of humanity after being rebuilt so many times.

Lyrics:

The adversaries priming
Like wolves within the snow
A consciousness is dying
Too stubborn to let go

When the daylight comes for me
I see what I am
An alloyed extension
Of invisible hands
And yet I risk more than
The credits I earn
My soul is in ashes
But metal won't burn

The raven in the updraft
I soar on borrowed wings
With heart beneath the construct
A cobbled mess of strings
Red echoes in the fracture
Sing to my weary mind
Protected by the rapture
I'm one of my own kind

When the daylight comes for me
I see what I am
An alloyed extension
Of invisible hands
And yet I risk more than
The credits I earn
My soul is in ashes
But metal won't burn

Wrapped within a soulless shelter
I possess the dread of war
Is there still a peace to enter
Or are we guiding aimless cores
Visions of a flame keep burning
Broken but still not decayed
Fueled by the blaze awakened
Human eyes remain afraid

Sacrifice my embers
Forge me better form
Burn away remainders
I am flesh no more
No one has the answers
So we all burn what came before
For what the future has in store

When the daylight comes for me
I see what I am
An alloyed extension
Of invisible hands
And yet I risk more than
The credits I earn
My soul is in ashes
But metal won't burn

“My soul is in ashes, but metal won’t burn” in other words, “what I’m doing is awful, but it’s keeping me alive”

[Unformed]

Damn it Aviators, why do you hate me?

How am I supposed to try and wait for a sale with a banger like this ringing in my head?

[SkorupaPancNaSkorCzl]

4:16 "I am flesh no more."

[septemberstarlight]

been listening to this song on repeat with the rest of the album and twist at the end for weeks now. and god "my soul is in ashes, but metal won't burn" is the most metal line i've ever heard.

[Argusthecat]

Okay, I understand that some of you know about metals. But do any of you know about METAPHORS?

[mothman]

Reminder folks, check the releases page in their youtube channel. The full albums get posted there and most songs never get a full video like this made for them. Tons of amazing music to be found.

[dragonridertechnologies]

That "Raven in the updraft / I soar on borrowed wings" line in particular... excellent. I love the symbology there (admittedly the whole song's filled with it, but that was my favorite).

[pandarosfaolanexcelsior]

How lucky am I? I come online on Youtube and first thing I see is "Aviators uploaded 53 seconds ago". I always look forward to any new song you create because they are truly unique. Metal Won't Burn is just another huge banger. Keep up that good work!

"Metal won't burn" Malevelon Creek would beg to differ!..Wait wrong dystopia.

[--Cat--]

It is criminal that AC6 was only nominated for Best Action, and it probably won't win over High Fi Rush. Thank you for doing this wonderful game justice Aviators. I adored the song as always, and I can't wait to see what you do next!

[azathothsscarecrow]

To soar beyond the crimson skies on borrowed wings
Into the future humankind have no eyes to see
May a Raven soul guide us true
Into a fate he sought to choose

Alea Iacta Est

Thank you, Aviators, for this wonderful new piece. A truly masterful anthem for a story we all treasure.

[shadowking]

I love how this songs builds on the video, with all the slow bits showing how depressing the world is and when the chorus hits shows 621 fighting and doing jobs. Really sounds like this was the song that 621 sings while on rest and the chorus is when he has to be Walter’s hound

[kennethgrey]

Recently been on a binge of nothing but your music again. And boy do your songs never seem to get old.

[spirecreator]

Your music is my inspiration for many of the things I have created. You give me drive through your music. I was stalled on writing a D&D session based in a cyberpunk setting using some of the armored core concepts in my campaign when, out of left field you released this song. as soon as I heard it, I got the inspiration I needed to finish writing the session. And this isn't the only time you have given me the inspiration I needed. I learned how to use blender while listening to "code breaker" and "signed on for a sequel" because I had an image in my head I needed to get out. I always look forward to your music and look forward to what the future will hold.

LETS GO AN ARMORED CORE SONG
I just noticed that how you do things release the album on Spotify n then slowly release music videos of said song really gets me to appreciate them more and shows me the inspiration i love it your a genius

[constantine]

"An alloyed extention on invisible hands" line originally made me think this will be another Elden Ring song.
You never cease to impress, Aviators. Thank you for your work =)

[mchooveshoofman]

This has been a song I have waited for so long to get a music video and damn is this paying off! I haven't finished the video, but I have been listening to the song on Spotify and it was an absolute banger - both as a song and as a tribute to one of my favourite games of the year! It truly captures what AC6 presents to the player, and Aviators knows how to recreate the ambience and tonality of the FromSoft games and turn it into song. With so many other great games from this year, some of which I still have yet to play like Lies of P, having songs tributing to these fantastic forms of media is what makes me so happy! Aviators is a person who can write some absolute fantastic songs which can be amazing standalone whilst also dedicated to a chosen game franchise

[brotherlorcalthetheloyalis]

Such an amazing Game. It’ll be Game of the Year in my heart

[fiercedeity]

Damn. The lyrical cover of Sealed Vessel by Man on the Internet feels tragic. Gut-wrenching even.

But this. This just feels so bleak. I don't know the story behind it, but it just feels like there isn't any anger. There isn't any hope. There isn't anything. Just a broken acceptance of circumstance from someone who either is too tired to fight it anymore or never knew to fight it in the first place. The melancholy and emptiness are so powerful.

Good job.

[AunicaAnimations]

Honestly you're so much better than 90% of artists now. Heavily underrated.
