[@ProjectVoidInc]

His scream just has a unique emotion. Gives me chills

[@Iandar1]

Agreed

[@herportraitinblack33]

Chills for minutes afterwards.

[@sofdrink]

+TheProjectVoid Especially on "pray" before the chorus goddamn that high

[@MrPunkrawk19]

If you like this, you'd LOVE counterparts. New record is fuego

Bright As Night or I, The Mapmaker

[@thatguy_shawn]

Why did it take me so long to listen to these guys...? I'm so impressed.

[@TrevorCanToo]

Heard this once back in high school and the feeling i got hearing it 9 years later was felt the exact same 🖤

[@sandagej18]

I hope this finds you well A father lost and mother deaf The family that's kept me here Hard lesson learned, and I've learned it well How to lose everything How to push you away How to lie when I say "I never raised a hand to the ones I love." Now look at how You beg and pray For your god and his grace To keep you safe To save you from me My broken spirit and back My calloused, shaking hands The ache I carry in me My grief and skeletons The weight you carried inside A weight that held my bloodline Black out the sunlight I count these burdens as mine And still all you see is that bastard in me Been living in hell A father lost and mother deaf The family that I squandered here Hard lesson learned, and I forgot it all How to lose everything How to push you away How to lie when I say "I never raised a hand to the ones I love." But I remember how You begged and prayed For your god and his grace To keep you safe To save you from me My broken spirit and back My calloused, shaking hands The ache I carry in me My grief and skeletons The weight you carried inside A weight that held my bloodline Black out the sunlight I count these burdens as mine And still all I see is that bastard in me

[@DriFD3S]

You're the best.

[@AKcollision123]

I know it’s been over 4 years, but I’m pretty sure it’s father lost and mother dear, not deaf

[@sandagej18]

@@AKcollision123 I got this off of Genius I think LOL.

[@AKcollision123]

Joshua Sandage Just looked at Genius, must have been updated since the first comment

[@ChrisMusickx]

I could listen this song over and over again

[@emilyxmoshladycore]

the best band in the world

[@Iandar1]

Never heard of these guys till they toured with August burns red last year; along with: beartooth and blessthefall. One of the best shows I've been to.

[@kjul.]

Back when you could still make out the absolutely amazing vocals, in perfect harmony with the instruments. These were the golden times of Defeater and Melodic Hardcore in general. Mesmerizing ❤️❤️

[@hardCOREmonkyman]

they seriously need to make a movie out of the story line in the albums.

[@vileasskyle]

thought that since travels

[@montobo_beerus]

This song and video stil gives me the shivers and guse bumps even after i watcht it for hundreth times

[@sashanetishkov553]

This song is legendary. Thank you.

[@Harcorejoeyh]

Incredibly powerful song. I promise you will love IORI's "Empty Handed" if you are a big fan of this!

[@5dsTv]

The channel Beheading the traitor posted up Ioris songs.... im impressed.

[@stilldyl]

9 years late but what song? lmao

[@Suskiski]

i have so much love for this band and their music

[@erinfouraker]

Sick cinematography and editing. Defeater never fails to be amazing as well.

[@sweetlittlelebbian9032]

2:18 is god damn awesome so much emotions

[@AppleCiider]

who else here reliving their teens?

[@franzilla1172]

yup

[@xbraidx]

I'll always love this band. I had a band that played with them in northern cali in like 2010. We played at this tiny coffee shop called Sue's Java. One of my favorite shows I've played/seen. Shoulder to shoulder crowd, great sound, great energy. Alot of comments on this video are negative and biased against the band. It kinda baffles me. This is definitely/hands down one of the best bands in hardcore/punk right now on multiple levels.

[@steventortora4487]

And today im listening and i wholeheartedly agree. Just amazing 👏 i love that this band really has mixed few styles together to make awesome songs.

[@gerardthegod5006]

my first bandmerch ever bought was a hat from Defeater! and i love it

[@BR-lp7mx]

2021 and still all I see is that bastard in me

[@sickmike0739]

And still all you see is that bastard in me... i could send this too so many peers who gave up on me.

[@spencerwhite8014]

Why has it taken me so long to stumble upon these guys? They're beast.

[@TinyTalkDoesNothing]

So impressed by these guys omg

[@vladaqqqqq]

God i have been waiting for so long to hear this song live, and tomorrow is finally that day

[@kirbaaaay]

[@peacexisxfree]

+kirby TFTV. i just saw them two nights ago, and they were fucking great. played an amazing set as well.

[@VasilijZaitzev]

[@mariosroom8023]

This song gets me too hyped and I love it

[@sashaslynko5326]

Amazing guys

[@PubmasterDrax]

This album ruled. The video does this song much justice.

[@aslongasicanbreathe]

this is amazing! defeater is one of the greatest bands of the new wave of hardcore bands

[@mgpfriend]

I don't understand why this doesn't have more views

[@67Dudeman]

Amazing.

[@Psunfire]

[@SnakeVenomTV12191]

[@FrenchieBelegit86753]

Finally, they have a video :) yaayyy

[@Mychild1234]

[@mirkoleskur7456]

Amazing

[@dylanwimsatt3053]

I remember the good days when people listened to music because they liked it and didn't give a fuck about how they were categorized.. bvti

[@bleachcheeks4837]

I can scream on the same pitch and dynamic and ill be damned if i don't use it to scream to the heavens

[@chelmackeral529]

Holy shit I love the beginning of this "and the challenger says he wants to continue..."

[@CaptainCanuck93]

Funny that I'm not the only Derek Archambault out there lmao

New soundtrack for Band of Brothers.

[@religiouspenis]

[@MrBoobsJohn]

Good job, Nicolas! Good job.

[@puffywolf2322]

I felt every words. this is a love letter from me to "u".

[@blacksgslayer]

To say this sounds AT ALL like Black veil brides is probably the most unintelligent and insulting use of the English language I have heard to date.

[@mordecaiferris]

Haha thank you. I read that persons comment and had to take a double take at the stupidity.

[@ImpakaWarrior]

i still dont see how they are part of the wave though. like touche, pianos and la dispute are one thing but this isnt really part of that same category from my point of view

[@xbraidx]

Kacimbe Listen to their older stuff. I have personally seen all the bands you mentioned a few times and even had a band that played with defeater a couple times in northern cal. It's definitely a "wave" if you will, of music. Alot of people refer to it as post-hardcore. Many tentatively say modern "screamo" which isn't so far from the truth, although the definitions of screamo and emo have become skewed and jaded over the years.

[@ImpakaWarrior]

okay so. you. you. are . not . in . on . it. this. is. post-hardcore. i understand what makes post hardcore post hardcore. "the wave"(labeled by others) is in reference to the group of bands i named because they are titled as revivalist posthardcore. touted they are bands that have a sound that reacknowledges the birth of posthardcore in the 80's they are bands that in a way pick up the instruments as if the only post hardcore they had listened to was oldschool fugazi, big black and all the other big names that are credited with having cemented what posthardcore meant during the 80's, regardless of how they build upon it. thats not true of this band. not saying its bad but at least this song doesnt have the aesthetic of that nature. also screamo is a perfectly fine label but its not really quite a label that bogs down anythign specific. if it has shouted vocals and was influenced by the big emo punk wave it's screamo.

[@ktm57ktm57]

Kacimbe This is melodic hardcore though

[@mattpalmer1082]

Wow the music video alone is so fucking powerful.

[@ekidwi1582]

The best

[@Sitchmaster]

This. is. so. damn. good

[@lucianodutto]

Naahh its more like a punk-metal-soul funk, with a latin sound.. its amazing

[@JstPF-93]

Bro its hardcore, this is hardcore

[@Monkeyjrking]

This djents so hard :D

[@bleachcheeks4837]

And all you see is that bastard in me I was born a bastard With a hole in my heart

[@kiyoku_exe]

[@aubryjames0412]

Nice.

[@no-mj9hv]

I appreciate the use of Sandboxx letters

[@bryanwhitmore7215]

When will you guys play around New England again???

[@ingi19]

No music expert, but i feel they are a softer version of have heart.

[@hybridharris]

The second photo in the wallet/satchel thing at 1:58 is on the album cover. Could be a part of the concept thing.

[@Ninutz]

2:30 drumming and on drives me nuts!

[@ptvjessica]

[@nathanschannel701]

I never heard this song..now I did, and its fucken swwweet

[@badjujuforever]

[@jamestim2428]

This song must be about Jon Snow

[@mdstevens0612]

That just hurt my emotions... :(

[@riverlightshxc4767]

[@peewee7380]

[@nihuyblyat5006]

No patrz. Myślałem, że jestem jedyny ;)

[@yanwidyantono4445]

Seriously? 200K views? For this great genuine band? New metaphor of hardcode music, i'd like to categorized it as modern melodic hardcore, and here's the list of band who have the same kind genre : 1. Counterparts 2. Landscapes 3. Motives 4. Climates 5. More Than Life 6. Departures 7. Capsize 8. Hundredth 9. Empty Handed

[@alexlynch]

+Yan Widyantono nice list. Didn't know about a couple, thanks. You should also add Conveyer. These guys are amazing.

[@kikeurzz]

+Yan Widyantono most of these are my favs, good list dude ! I've seen Capsize live last week... was fcking great !

[@daveabittner]

M1 carabine Without magazine? But awesome video and song.

[@GwanTonSoup]

Its more punk, punk hardcore than anything.

[@TheDeathknight79]

Ruben Gawan Post Hardcore ;D

[@kirbaaaay]

TheDeathknight79 definitely not post hardcore but who gives a shit

[@mdstevens0612]

More Melodic Hardcore actually. Definitely not post-hardcore.

[@sofdrink]

+Ruben Gawan hardcore is a derivation of the punk rock genre. its actually short for "hardcore punk".

[@prong44]

из какого фильма кадры , подскажите

[@steasy5673]

Was this video offline for a while?

[@constantperception]

every one of their songs fits the war scenario

[@SnakeVenomTV12191]

especially lost ground

[@ReachTheDarkness]

Nice band ! You have just win my presence at Hellfest OA. Hope it'll be a good set ;).

[@mdhorses]

ReachTheDarkness They will put on a great performance, I can promise you as much as that :)

[@ReachTheDarkness]

Okay thanks :). I'm impatient now ! ;)

[@ReachTheDarkness]

Okay, that was AWESOME.

[@mdhorses]

ReachTheDarkness So sad I couldn't be there... But I'm glad you had a good time!

[@ReachTheDarkness]

It's a young band, you will surely see them a lot of times :) Thank you !

[@whiteflag101]

I didnt realize Chris Demarais acted in hardcore music videos

[@methehaunted]

can anyone tell me what's the concept behind this album? Im new on defeater

[@WilshereJack19]

the beginning of the song is similar to Architect's Learn To Live

[@rzuffiq]

trzeci!

[@URBONED]

Is this video based on a kids book about war? Our teacher in modern history showed it to us about these to guys in like fox holes that were at war and they snuck into each others fox holes at the same time and saw that the enemy had family and friends like they did and they caught each other and stopped fighting.

[@Krossceeper1234]

Intro reminds me of 'Learn to Live' by Architects, anyone else?

[@italononato8549]

Defeater in Brazil please

[@Zanna_pr]

какого года видео и песня?

[@TheGreatHuzzah]

I've been trying to figure out the story that is told in the albums

[@courtneywhite6071]

All of the albums tell the story of a veteran and his memories that terrorize him from war and the life he struggles to live after he comes home and the negative affects that he feels he is burdening his family with. Side effects of combat PTSD

[@ratius1979]

original video or a film i must watch?!

[@SnakeVenomTV12191]

original video

[@stealthsuit58]

Fuckin' TUUUNE!

[@AnthonyMartinez-vp1wy]

What's the song , the lyrics are, Heaven is real when hells where you've escaped from. Things are going to get BETTER ! to be BETTER ! I've searched the lyrics and can't find the song...
