Storm Corrosion - Drag Ropes

I mean, wow. I've been thinking of what my first post should be like. I had some ideas about some funny-weird thing I've seen in the last few weeks - there are a lot of weird stuff out there.

But this one.


It was a normal day  night, 3 am., no sleeping, browsing YouTube, listening to music in the hope of falling asleep. I randomly clicked.

I've found it. 


Found it and watched it like a hundred times continuously and then forgot it for a year.
My browsing history disappeared, I had no idea of how I got there or what was the name of the band and I hardly could remember of the song or the video either. The only thing I could recall was this strange feeling in my stomach while I was watching this thing I still can't handle.

It gives me goosebumps, the feeling that I'm alive but in another world, another reality. It takes me a thousand miles away from where I am, it makes me fly without drugs or pills
This is pure art and pure beauty. 


This is something that everyone should see:



Weird and depressing and horrible but in a very, very good way.



Storm Corrosion was a musical collaboration between Mikael Åkerfeldt of Swedish progressive metal band Opeth and Steven Wilson, an English solo artist and frontman of the progressive rock band Porcupine Tree. Åkerfeldt and Wilson began a longstanding musical partnership in 2001 when Wilson produced Opeth's fifth studio album Blackwater Park. The two began writing together for a new project in 2010, releasing their self-titled first studio album on May 8, 2012 through Roadrunner Records.



"Musically, I think we've created something earthy, a bit frightening, exhausting, profound and rather intense. All at the same time." -said Åkerfeldt.


I can totally agree.
