Chiodos "Those Who Slay Together, Stay Together"

Chiodos' 'Illuminaudio' is available now. Get the album here: bit.ly/chiodos...
Lyrics:
Light came through a crack in the wall
That red sun slowly rose
At the break of dawn they came for us
For a while we were safe and sound
They came like thieves and robbed our town
Of all the life, of everything we knew
The living versus the dead
Pray to your god, hell is on its way home
Hounds running like a rancid fog
And the world that we knew was raining blood
Here we are
We knew the day would come
Those who slay together, stay together in the end
Crimson irises, the army of the infected
They smelled our scent, sensed our fear
They knew where we were
The artists of the night
They're painting the town red with blood
They came through the door like a flood
A force too strong to handle
We were attacked like a candle surrounded by demons who don't want the light
They darkened our ability to see through the night
Come through hell or high water
They'll never leave one another alone
This plague has taken control of us
Come through hell or high water
We die, only to be born into a monstrosity
Light came through the crack in the wall
That red sun slowly fell down
And we devoured all that we could
Oh yes we did
We immersed ourselves in all the blood
Biting each and every one
The army of the infected
We are the infected

I still feel this is the best song that Chiodos ever released. Those screams are monstrous, the songwriting is peak, and the production is phenomenal.

Love this song, my mom listened to this all the time and it grew on me. This deserves more recognition

Such an under rated song - I know this album was not well received when it came out but I always comeback to this

[@ChuckLopez]

The production is insane. I get it that "fans" were still debating on the Craig thing and that stopped them from appreciating the music

[@jamesredline1352]

@@ChuckLopezit’s literally their best album. That’s the crazy thing.

[@SeekingJoshua]

Absolutely the best Chiodos album. It deserves a retrospective from the masses. It's so damn good from front to back.

[@jamesredline1352]

Apparently everyone hated it because it “wasn’t Craig” but this album is a damn masterpiece!

[@sofyanfirdaus2583]

@@jamesredline1352 tbh I am not even chiodos big fan. I only listening to this album and don't even know who craig is before googling it. lol

[@jamesredline1352]

@@sofyanfirdaus2583 they really did make some bangers. But this album is the absolute best by far.

[@josepharrowsmith8162]

completely agree. criminally underrated and should have aged a classic. holds up today,if it was new now i'd take to it

[@cjmllvv]

Craig owens sounds like pure ass especially in that first album

[@testingDEATH]

unpopular opinion: Illuminaudio is Chiodos' best album.

[@cjmllvv]

Definitely is lol... Craig owens is a talented singer but somehow he always manages to sound horrible no matter what he sings. I dont know how he does it

[@walkertexasraymond]

@@cjmllvvhe’s just trying so hard to sound idk sexy? To scene girls lol This album feels mature and polished and just epic in scale.

This album is so underrated. I'll always consider it my gem. One of the only albums I can listen to front and back.

Sounds like it could be in COD Zombies. Pretty good.

[@user-bh3qk1nz4l]

😂See two months ago that I don't even remember I had some crazy breakdown. So I mean, you were talking to me? II was fine with of it. I was running low on coming down but I saw it. Don't know I don't know but with that 1. Where you're talking about. You were the downtown in the middle of the moon that. But it was something and it just like stabbed me. That whole video with you sitting in the car. It was like you know Jesus God is this real. It was crazy man and then I remember that. And then I said this bitch says Then fucking my family Go to fuck everybody is in there Go to Gyms, and she's f****** everybody. And she's Competitive 😂😂😂😂 Yo I was going hard though I was like. Yeah see I was fucking tagged in bitch Don't mean shit the bait no I mean It's weird You were not. Understood, I thought you were me or whatever species I am Only you know the thing you're talking about yeah I don't remember what night it might have been last night. Really I just thought about something that I said To Zeke after they were destroying me and it was about. Some crazy stuff if that he shouldn't hurt and he looked at me and said I'll never gonna forgive you for that. I'm gonna never forget this. And he didn't cry he doesn't he Stared me down to my soul. And there were times I thought. He was snitching about nothing. I thought he was being a b****Trying to get my attention and it wasn't. It was them trying to take him from me. F*** with me and and I saw fear in it. I shouldn't have done that door baby i've never Hurt him That was mean An with my words I cried so hard. And I love him I'm pretty sure. He's Thanks, and you're gonna hurt me. You can do that, told . That had told you so. He didn't ever message your friend or anything it was stuff. I was thinking and it was things I would meant. I meant I didn't really tell anybody else I didn't even really Tell him that But you know every now and then I find an Old photo I talk about you. I didn't say much. like destroyed It was definitely something different. It was more of a sexual thand always will be with you. It was not supposed to be like that, though. And I'm sorry. You know I couldn't ever ask. Or bag or I don't know if you were Gonna stop me Shoot a throw your ass down and Turn you out for real 😂 I will now I will I've got a need it

The other two early albums are so full of bangers, this is the only one from this album that I personally feel carries a strong melody and clash of emotion. Still, Chiodos always and forever underrated.

@@jeffbrownstain lmao maybe ill play it for the thousandth time and learn something, I'll let you know.

[@jeffbrownstain]

@@maxlittrell960 Since you have no intelligence, I'll state it simply; this song tells of a zombie invasion of a small town which is used as a metaphor for alternate forms of ideology being presented to a tight knit community who cannot adapt to them. Its message is very simple: stick with your crowd/community to fight whatever you don't understand. It's also a story of failure, and why such methods lead to the demise of all such small communities no matter how hard they fight. I mean, I'm no fuxkin philosopher or scholar, but I had a grasp on these concepts when I was 13 and this song came out, so take that as you will as my statement on your own ingenuity and intelligence.

[@maxlittrell960]

@@jeffbrownstain have you no ability to look at the song and WORDS at face value? While you provide a certainly biased opinion based on when you were 13, I'd say that my 12.9+ reading level marked at 5th grade has evolved enough to state that your opinion is merely conjecture.
