NAILS You Will Never Be One Of Us Album Review | Overkill Reviews

[@teddyswoes6345]

This review is almost as long as their records haha

[@brucenatelee]

Nah, just the first 5 tracks. Damn I wish the songs were all closer to the 2 min mark.

[@MrT1o9P9i2]

In this review Sam pretty much Nails it.

[@BangerTV]

ha!

[@ehoc42]

Except at pronouncing Kurt Ballou’s last name :p

[@johnniejay]

Since when has Dave Grohl's taste in music been brought into question? He's well known for championing a ton of undeground punk and metal bands.

[@BangerTV]

We love Dave! Probot rules

[@johnniejay]

Craig Mailman Ok, that's cool. Just thought bringing up Grohl's taste in music (when he's well known to have loved Metal for decades) in the way Sam did was a little weird.

[@radioclash84]

what are you talking about? Dave's project Probot was a homage to all of the metal bands he grew up listening to and also before Nirvana he came up in the hardcore punk scene and had was in the band Scream. I think he is very qualified to have an opinion.

[@radioclash84]

***** i think Nails are not your typical metal band i would say soundwise they are very close to hardcore, so it makes perfect sense. Napalm Death for all your deep description of them started out as a hardcore band. Grindcore as a genre is very much related to hardcore and punk. Don't get me wrong i think his band Foo Fighters is garbage but i think he has lot of knowledge on underground punk and metal.

[@SeniorBrochacho]

Nails is so great. Every one of their releases has been solid and crushing. I just can't believe they topped the brutality of "Abandon All Life".

[@ndSpaz]

I feel like they did top the brutality at "Abandon All Life", they kind of dialed it back and it really turned out in the album's favour. Abandon All Life was a bit too samey and boring.

[@grindcoremaniac]

I got spin kicked in the face at a Nails show. This album is great.

[@magusmusic]

In my opinion Gojira's Magma and Nails You Will Never Be One Of Us are both 5 skulls outta 5 Skulls and are my Albums of the year by far!

[@philmole1209]

You were on the right side of history.

[@leechesofkarma]

Good call on Entombed production. HM2 pedal (or clone) is definitely present. That sound has definitely gotten overplayed over the last few years all of which was inspired by Entombed setup.

[@DreamPurpleFloyd]

I really like what you do with this channel, but you should really get rid of the unrelated concert shots during the audio samples. Just show the album cover, that's cool enough

[@bruffyb3796]

I think Kurt is a great producer but he's more of an engineer getting the sounds just right. He's produced the likes of Nails, Black Breath and Every time I die and all of these albums have sounded great on vinyl and CD.

[@TheFujac]

you must seriously be half deaf if you think this album sounds anything near good..... if you want to hear what a well produced grindcore album sounds like listen to sickening bliss by regurgitate

[@mycoinsyourpurse2244]

The first two Kvelertak albums as well, which sound great. Sadly he didn't come back for the next one and their third album sounds kind of rough.

[@iamjesusama4466]

I always liked this band. They've got a lot of hardcore punk credibility. First album with their more hardcore influence will always my favorite though.

[@nordicsilver9675]

I might not survive if I saw code orange and nails playing on the same tour. This new blood takes it to another level absolutely amazing.

[@angrychihuahuashow8489]

Is it just me or does the singer look like Phil Alsamo of Pantera

[@superunknown2812]

AngryChihuahuaShow i was just gonna say the same thing lol

[@megablastofficial]

First of all, thanks for taking the dimension of hype into account. I think it's important to discuss this phenomenon when trying to bring forth an honest review. That being said i loved this release. Always digged their style. Unsilent Death remains my no.1 though. Now, i gotta say i agree with some of the others here, and think you should lay off the stock concert videos, and fill the screen with artwork, bandpics or bits of lyrics. Again thank you, this is an awesome channel, and it's fantastic to see you on screen again, Sam.

[@THERLE86]

getting into heaps of new bands because of these reviews

[@adamturner1563]

Poser. Search and you will find..

[@kosurol]

You should review Be'lakor's new album "Vessels".I want to know your opinion about it.

[@joshfriesen8937]

I love discovering new tunes, definitely buying this and putting it on the playlist for Saturdays party. Thanks Sam and all you guys and gals at BANGER, solid review, great band, can't wait for more \m/

[@JayWeishaupt]

It's a bummer to see Nails blow up like this. The band has always been designed to offer a very specific listener the shit they love. Having a broader appeal means that all these fucktards are gonna start bitching about applying their own expectations onto one of the greatest hardcore bands of all time. Also, this new record is essentially just grindcore.

[@VCCassidy]

I think it's a good thing. NAILS are pure brutality and hopefully their straight-forward, no non-sense approach will clean the slate of all that sing/scream HotTopic-Core out there.

[@DavidEitle]

I don't think that Nails are going to change their sound based on expectations though. Their lyrics really seem to be all about the opposite.

[@mikeycfc4638]

Savage Intolerance is the best track on the album imo.

[@wormwhittington6229]

The NAILS/FULL OF HE'LL split is off the hook.this album is great.short,but great

[@matt11708]

just got into them, wow this album is very good.

[@PerfectMask1]

Same here - I checked it on the off chance of a review - Sounds great. I can now see the influence they had on some Vallenfyre stuff.

[@MarrowEternal]

I love the format of this review! Playing the music as well as talking about it. 👏 Well done 👍👍👏

[@gregpuciato5603]

5 Skulls !!! I Love this album !!!

[@dearlydemented19ify]

This band wasn't even on my radar til I saw this review. I've been fucking missing out!! Holy fuck!

[@BangerTV]

If your on Apple Music you gotta check out our weekly playlists. You will never miss out again my friend

[@jamespage1680]

not the best Nails record, but even the worst Nails record is better than 98% of death, grind, power violence out there... i'd have given it 4 still

[@justin2597]

James Page pretty ballsy statement, I like your style

[@hwirbilona]

Only thing that sucks are the "karate in the pit" fans of Nails

[@simonsabbath1064]

great review. professional video and review

[@CrabJuice83]

Good review, Sam, and a good decision to go to a 5-scale. Should give you some more wiggle room when you're in doubt. (Especially if still do halves) Imo, this record is top 3 of the albums I've heard so far this year, but I'm 90% confident that album of the year (for me) will be the new Hellbringer album. For people interested, look them up. It's Thrash from Australia and the production is VERY similar to Slayer's 'Hell Awaits'.

[@gabeb.3733]

Its hilarious seeing all these cowardly casuals calling Nails shit. We get it, you can't handle actual extreme music. Enjoy your Dragonforce record fool.

[@graymanprepper88]

please tell me your going review Whitechapel's "mark of the blade". that album is sick

[@brucenatelee]

I only heard of this band and the song "You Will Never Be One of Us" just a couple of months ago. Thought it was extremely heavy as all fucktacularity.

[@asen424]

Good review. I really appreciate that u took the comments under consideration and reviewed this album. though I thought u shud have given it at least 4 out of 5. but anyway. opinions differ. like I said earlier. keep up the good work.

[@DavidEitle]

This is a great review, thanks man.

[@morriemariani9646]

you need to review Be'lakor's new album Vessels.

[@brandontadday6288]

Yes. They really need to! Be'lakor does not get nearly enough praise and press. I can't wait to see them next month!

[@BangerTV]

Been listening to it. It's ok.

[@morriemariani9646]

+BANGER it needs more than one listen to really appreciate them

[@gurt666]

Awesome channel. Thanks Sam

[@Steve-nq8jc]

This album is hard! i thought my head was being used as a speed bag. for me album of the year so far.

[@Leftlanedave]

Good review thanks for being honest🍻

[@hansjavis5854]

If a Reign in Blood is a 5, this is an easy 4. The production on this album is very good and it sounds great in a truck with powerful subs. It’s a pleasureable album to listen to and will convert most people when forced upon them.

[@jonathanjollimore7156]

The fact that You Will Never Be One Of Us sounds like wall of incomprehensible sound to most people I think kind proves there point

[@mr.olliemetalweeb6665]

can you review Whitechapel mark of the blade

[@BangerTV]

We've been listening to it.

[@WraithTimid]

This is a solid review, but I don't think it makes sense to expect a band like Nails to come out with "Album of the Year." They're really not the kind of band that aims for any of the keywords you'd associate with that title. They make relentlessly pummeling, punishing, head-smashing music, and I think they delivered on that front on this record even more than they have on their previous releases. Each album they've put out has been a step beyond what they did previously. I dunno, I just would never expect a band like Nails to strive to make an album as ULTRA-LEGENDARY as one that might be called "Album of the Year." They're completely straightforward about what they do, even if it's not as technical or melodic or emotive as other music. They're here to make your head explode, and this album definitely delivers on that front. Just my two cents.

[@saltpeter7429]

I'm not even a fan of "Extreme" metal, more of an old school fan, Slayer, Maiden and Ozzy is my speed and love. But I love music from all over the place, NAILS tempo changes and pure bludgeoning power has made a fan of me. This is about as heavy as I like however, the ceiling if you will... never know where great tunes are going to come from.

[@bunghammer6665]

So fucking HEAVY!

[@SelfHealingAmbientGod]

I loved the album and one of my fav. Yet I felt the bass is mixed to high and as the bass has distortion and will hear how it clash with the guitar riffs. That is the only down side of the album.

[@elmutilacuras]

Review Crisix: From Blue to Black

[@BangerTV]

Almost did this one a few months back. Really like this record

[@willcomrie8662]

Saw them live yesterday and they were fucking great.

[@mihaelquinones1458]

3 out of five was a lil low for me

[@Cesar_94]

5 skulls! Finally!

[@PorscheJon]

ikr. Now I can make sense of how good a record apparently is.

[@Myrkskog]

I can't honestly say I've ever been influenced by anyone in the public eye's (relatively speaking) opinion of an album.

[@craignosss]

make one with the new fates warning

[@thumbknucklerocks]

That's not how you pronounce Ballou. It's Buh(rhymes with duh)-Lou. Accent on the second syllable. Like the bear in the Jungle Book.

[@lasendadelsamurai]

Immolation - Atonement

[@Sgt_Bean]

Good review bro! But the the rating was unexpected.

[@MrJosedaluz]

Was that eye of the tiger intro there??? hahahahah!

[@edawgyoniga]

HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK, THIS IS HEAVY.

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

This shit is heavy, I'm gonna check em out for sure!

[@whiskeysoul89]

This almbum is heavy as fuck. Thrashy and punchy. Even at 22 minutes it is relentless without sounding too derivative and has some magic in it

[@Weareconnected167]

Thanks Sam!

[@TheMetrefekseli]

Very nice potent ,gives this killing felling just wright

[@Meemperor]

Love the opera house footage

[@kianraz4129]

Nails in one's ear is equal a lot of earbleed!

[@facciosean1]

I’d say 3.5. It does what it’s intended to do

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

I fucking love this band!!!!!!!

[@heriveltojorgedesouza7964]

Nails é do caralho!!!!!!! Uma das minhas favoritas!!

[@EclecticoIconoclasta]

So he gives it 3 out of 5 because its not metal enough? That is very stupid.

[@lovelygrey]

Its called an opinion. RESPECT!....smh

[@johnniejay]

I don't think he said it wasn't metal enough. He was saying that it isn't the metal AOTY.

[@Thepoltergiest101]

He never said that.

[@Jamie.Laszlo]

It’s amazing how people can hear someone say a specific sentence, but then interpret it as something else completely.

[@Anthonyp452]

When did he say it's not metal enough?

[@MilitantOldLady]

How can you skip over Savage Intolerance?!?!

[@vegatarianzombie]

Pause at 1:36

[@craignosss]

or with beyond creation

[@jojolewis831]

NAILS is about slay ozzfest next month!!!! its gonna be a like wakeing a giant!

[@Melvinshermen]

When Claudia Brown listing to this she would be dead by now

[@jeantalife1013]

5 skulls!

[@jensragas3719]

It is a good album but there last on for me are there best album and one ofe the best grind crust albums ever.

[@Bumbaclot213]

It’s an ep

[@Nerdycottoncandy]

Do the new DUST BOLT!

[@wormwhittington6229]

Todd has such an angry voice.its like verbal whiskey.

[@santoslhalper6116]

But James Hetfield says anyone can be one of us

[@ChipsHandonJr]

"Full-length"...

[@BananaPieGaming]

Finally five skulls!!!!!!!!!!

[@MalefactorCarnal]

I'm liking BANGER's reviews more by the day but you desperately need to extend your rating scale. Giving 3 out of 5 to everything is very limiting in my opinion.

[@feindgottes6439]

Excellent effort from Nails once again but at 22 minutes it's really an Ep not a full album. Hell, the excellent Behind-Beyond from Spirit Adrift clocks in 28:30 with only two songs! Excellent breakdown and yes, Nails are excellent but way over-hyped as well. Feel free to check out tons of indie metal over on my site: www.thydemonsbescribblin.com/scribblin-metal---album-reviews

[@neuroisis85]

Abandon All Life is great, this record bored the shit outta me however

[@mephistosteiner8064]

I don't get all these Punk comparisons, this band is Grindcore all over !!!

[@terenceaaron1999]

And where did Grindcore come from??

[@CoomerGremlinDGGfan]

Duurp

[@misterscarisma]

3 outta 5? So 6 outta 10? May not be Reign In Blood, but this record is way better than that. Sorry Sam, gotta disagree with you on this one.

[@kolossalskrimp]

OXNAAAAAAAARD

[@knightwingbk]

Wow. Not for me, this album is. Thanks for the review Sam

[@bobboheemoth7255]

Stick to Nickelback you must.

[@heretictemple9830]

You will never be one of us.

[@knightwingbk]

And that's totally fine by me! You don't have to like everything!

[@heretictemple9830]

Just kidding, man.

[@scottawful2094]

Brent Kossina talking backwards you are yoda

[@D-A-K]

Love the stock mosh footage.

[@BangerTV]

Our camera guy Daniel goes to a lot of shows and always films...usually getting a black eye for his amazing work.

[@shervbalan]

Personally, I loved the clapping during "Violence is Forever". Very fitting.

[@lamoyefe]

3 out of 5! Ha, what a sick joke

[@acorreadr]

The Needle Drop review is way better than this. Try it

[@VCCassidy]

I've discovered a lot of cool music from Fantano and he has perfected his review style, but I've noticed an annoying trend from him over time. New, obscure-ish band releases first or breakthrough album, Anthony loves it and sings its praise. Same band releases a new album that gets a little bit more attention and now he gives it a luke-warm review because they aren't as obscure anymore. Older commercial rock band from his youth releases long-awaited new album, he acts like the record gave him literal cancer. If I know a band or album has a little bit of hype behind it I almost always know that Fantano's going to shit on it.

[@metalmaniacsubtitulado5170]

Not metal, but good band

[@CarcPazu]

I think a 22-minute album is not an album, it's an EP. I don't like this type of guitar tone with a lot of fizz and never been a huge fan of grindcore. I'm more into brutal death metal. That was a good review though, thanks for keeping it heavy Banger.

[@Lucols4]

Since all their releases have more than 7 tracks then it's considered an album, not ep.

[@CarcPazu]

So you're happy to pay the same price for a 50-minute album as you pay for a 22-minute one? The entire production takes less time, writing, recording, mixing, mastering... Personally I think calling this an album is short-changing fans even if it's grindcore and the album is amazing.

[@Lucols4]

CarcPazu Well I don't make the rules

[@CarcPazu]

Well, it's grindcore, I guess they get a free pass...

[@heretictemple9830]

I agree with you that it's dumb to pay so much money for a short record, but at the same time I can't imagine grindcore albums lasting 50 minutes. I mean, it's too long for a grind album. But this is what happens when it is released by a big label. It is said that grindcore is not for money. Well, it depends...

[@aaronbakerbcg3984]

Total waste of time and money. EPs are longer than this trash.

[@uxy1]

Overrated

[@SirRonJeremiah1er]

Not at all xD

[@heathendominion7608]

FAILS

[@leaderOFlosers]

This band is painfully bad.

[@CoomerGremlinDGGfan]

I agree. They're not technical or gay enough.

[@jakeybball]

You will never be one of us.

[@PesterFester1966]

Stick to the bubblegum rap shit instead.

[@Weedeater58]

great review man, keep up the good work.
