[@Ramborghini69]

A thread on Twitter “Album covers that look exactly how the album sounds” brought me here .. I’m not disappointed this is absolute

[@musicsettles]

Drummer has some A1 posture

[@phatnana2379]

He's also SUPER creative! It's what sets them apart as like my fav band tbh lol! They write dope songs but a lesser drummer could easily ruin everything!! My fav drummer since the original drummer of Pig Destroyer!! Honorable mention to the original drummer of From A Second Story Window too as another awesome and creative drummer!

[@crimsoncola]

First thing I noticed 😂😂😂😂😂

[@LeGronk]

@@phatnana2379 Darkside from Mgla too

[@jackieparmz]

These dudes are just absolutely fucking spellbinding live. It’s bone-chilling, beautiful, and absolutely horrifying all at the same time.

[@TheHammerofDissidence]

4:30 To Hieron 7:30 Omniscienza 13:35 Absolver 21:50 Buried With Leeches 29:55 Volcanic Birth 38:44 Satan? 40:00 Lashed to the Grinder and Stoned to Death

[@ricardols9567]

Best band .

[@danielbrown4227]

absolutely fucking correct

[@LeGronk]

that's Volcanic Birth all the way through to Lashed, btw.

[@JortCenens]

Just saw these guys for the first time at Netherlands Deathfest a few weeks ago. Absolutely mindblowing performance, best I've seen there no doubt. Hope to catch them again soon, these guys are AMAZING!

[@007Rui1]

im really confused, whats that "Satan?" track? Isnt it Lashed right after Volcanic Birth ends?

[@oddthemute6172]

Always find myself coming back to this set. I wish I had a bootleg of it on vinyl to blast.

[@NeedITDeathHeated]

I love this set more than the albums. I understand why they produced their studio releases in such a way, but fuck this live set sounds amazing.

[@roadkillanonymous4807]

This sounds orders of magnitude better than their albums

[@damnedbelowjudas_]

Couldn't disagree more, they're still great live but the album is impeccable

[@TERMINATOR-0002]

This is the most insane live set i think i have ever fucking seen in Death metal. T's Vocals are the most vicious and most agonizing stuff I've ever heard on a live set even though the studio version is just as brutal sounding. They sound as if he is screaming from having his own spine being ripped out on stage by demons from hell especially at the start of Buried with leaches 21:59. The guitars sound like whirlwinds of just complete chaos and strangely in some places have a bit of an ugly melody that makes them just have an almost paranormal sounding sound, almost like a more focused and more blunt forced traumatic aborted child of Portal. Hatred for mankind is one of the absolute peaks of extreme metal and maybe even just extreme music as a whole. Truly one of my favorite bands ever.

[@anthiste]

This is disgusting, but in the best way possible

[@phatnana2379]

I think Anthony Fantono described them as "blackened, sludgy, sonic UGLINESS" and "sonic ugliness" is how I now describe them!... and, to/from me, that is the utmost praise and EXACTLY what I was waiting my whole life for until Hatred For Mankind dropped over a decade ago! I heard what I was wanting in my head then DIS did it... Combining all the best parts of my fav genres in metal but keeping it, straight up, ALL BALLS! There were TONS of shitty, cookie-cutter, "blackened" bands coming out each week in 2009 that either sucked or were too afraid to go balls out so they had a lot of pussy parts! Dragged Into Sunlight IMMEDIATELY became my fav band. DIS drops Hatred For Mankind and NAILS drops Unsilent Death within the same year... God I wish I could relive discovering both bands again! But since... we've only gotten TWO great bands, imo, being Full Of Hell and GateCreeper

[@jamiemcgregor4080]

I not only don't mind that they turn their backs. I like it. When you see them live it makes sense. You probably wouldn't see them if they faced the crowd anyway btw with their stage lighting preferences. They don't mess around. They arrive. Twat you. Don't talk. Twat you again. Then they leave. It's perfect. I can't wait to see them again. I even set up Google alerts to reduce my chances of missing something like a nerd.

[@phatnana2379]

Dragged Into Sunlight is, quite literally, an amalgamation of all my favorite aspects of extreme music... True sonic ugliness that's ALL balls without compromise. The anonymity, dark stage with strobes, and turning their backs to the audience is a testament to their dedication to their art (I'm cringing as I say that but it really is true)... Their live performance is the only act I've ever seen that is truly, 100% ALL about the music. Other bands, like Ghost for example, use their "anonymity" as a gimmick. A way to build buzz that doesn't serve what they're going for musically at all. Dragged Into Sunlight never highlights that aspect of their band, interviewers do. Lol that's enough Dragged Into Sunlight D-riding for me. I hate gushing over a band but it's so hard NOT to with these guys

[@zachv3351]

I simply cant understand how the crowd can be this still. Easily the best metal band of this decade, and the audience looks like they don't even give a shit.

[@badhatharry4323]

You can't see shit at their concert. Candlelight and rarely a single light. Otherwise, darkness. People would seriously get hurt if they started to mosh

[@crooked5812]

there might be too much black metal dudes in there to have fun, wich is a shame

[@BongRippingRiffLover51]

They're in awe

[@MusicOfDestruction]

@@crooked5812 fuck fun you trendy loser

[@phatnana2379]

It's hard to not just stand there and be blown away at the music! Which is the point of their shows! One of the only bands to have an actual ACT! A cohesive ebb and flow to their sets with a very specific momentum

[@angelicarodriguez2646]

Best band than i can ever hear ...saludos desde colombia

[@thomasmartus1873]

Sounds better then their record from 2016. Finally you can hear a bass guitar....

[@FloraJoannaK]

Heart-pounding stuff.

[@Empiricist14]

This is an INSTANT favourited video. DIS is BEYOND.

[@errone0us]

One note: for the next performance they should use a lot of fans that will blow towards the audience and candles that will burn very intensely, this will intensify the whole performance and power!

[@phatnana2379]

Have you seen them live? Idk if there's anything that could intensify their performance! They also do already have a massive candelabra that burns center-stage.

[@Chris-qv2vr]

If I had three wishes all of them would be to be in this band. They're my favorite band of all time.

[@aap123]

Good stuff! Epilepsy warning though!! :)

[@charliehaskell1859]

It's rough to watch.

[@WILD__THINGS]

Shit fucked me all the way up

[@timcarrington9198]

First heard DIS in 07, they were the heaviest I ever saw back in 2012, u don't hear metal like this now, fck sick riffs, its just special - Hatred for Mankind is my favorite metal record ever

[@phatnana2379]

- Dragged Into Sunlight: Hatred for Mankind - Pig Destroyer: Prowler in the Yard - Nails: Unsilent Death - The Red Chord: Fused Together in Revolving Doors - The Allman Brothers: Live at the Filmore East - From a Second Story Window: Not One Word Has Been Omitted Five records, in order, that I wish I could go back in time to hear for the first time again... Each, basically, becoming my all-time favorite record after a single listen. Hatred For Mankind is still my favorite tho

[@spoularobert]

I saw them at the Vienna Metal Meeting 2017 and it was amazing! A big wall of sound flowing through your body and your mind like an igneous shower!

[@stefanh7515]

same here ;-)

[@mostafamando8060]

I believe in this live show supremacy

[@pronginator]

Candles..live...? I'm jealous of that venue! James Brown Grill Cloth ? You got a like!

[@thawedantarctican2171]

James Brown amps are from Primitive Man. I saw this tour. It was DIS, Primitive Man, and Cult Leader. One of the best shows and it blew my mind to this day still. One of the craziest shows to ever come to UT. Edit: Yes, they also had candles there.

thought we werent supposed to see their faces? cameras clearly showing some of the members. Thought that was why they used to wear balaclavas

[@ridleysomeliana-lauer5814]

IIRC the core lineup of the band live several hundred miles apart so it’s likely the case that at least a couple of these dudes probably aren’t full members of the band and as such don’t need to hide their identity. Purely speculation on my end tho.

[@finestjellybeansrawlol9486]

@@ridleysomeliana-lauer5814 it looks like there's 5 people here and 4 in every promo photo so at least 1 of them is likely to just be a live musician

As an audience, I would feel like I was being ripped off. Underground or not. Then they should have placed the drummer the other way around or Mantarlike to the side. I discovered the band today. Good stuff. Underestimated.

[@medievalspacedagger6218]

I dont know nothing much about Black Metal as a Deathcore/Brutal Death and Skramz fan here do they mosh as well like we do in Deathcore???

[@punkstartxngves3813]

Sort of. I mean I don't mosh at a black metal show I headbang wildly and scream the lyrics back depending on the band. DIS is a blackened grindcore band pretty much with death metal influences.

[@dwaalgeest8591]

This is not really a black metal band. They do have some black metal influences.

[@VampiricNightmare]

It all depends on the band and their music

[@thawedantarctican2171]

The crowd doesn't usually mosh to these guys. It's rare to see them often for one, and second, their music demands your attention. Seeing them live was insane. I was in awe. It was a sonic assault in the best way. All you could do was just headbang, throw the horns, and watch.

[@marko-em1pl]

I don't get it, are the actual band members preforming? Aren't they all about hiding their identity? Or is the performance done by someone else?

[@punkstartxngves3813]

This is how they usually perform. Backs to the crowd except the drummer who you can barely see live anyways. I've seen them once. Greatest black metal show ever

[@thawedantarctican2171]

​@Jigsore You can still remain anonymous if you really want to. These guys probably don't have much individual social media presence and only let certain individuals know that they are in DIS. As long as you don't divulge too much about yourself and confide in vetted, trusted people, you can be fairly anonymous like these guys. Only people who know them will never tell their secret.

[@allsome1o1]

[@mattnelson7258]

Widowmaker is the shit, but that’s just my opinion.

Went for a different vibe on Widowmaker. They wanted it to be a mournful, painfully slow journey of an album, with the last half being hatefully cathartic.

[@HEMETFOREVER]

I'm going to give my opinion, to a concert or festival you pay to see how the musicians act, not to see their backs, because for that the public also turns around to see what the band thinks about it. It seems disrespectful, and I like black metal and even if they are hooded but with their backs turned, it is inconceivable. greetings to all.

[@vic5254]

then don’t go to one of their shows.

[@HEMETFOREVER]

Do you think that with what I said I would go, in no way, not even if they invited me to a show of theirs, that is a lack of professionalism, it is as if you put on a CD of theirs and listen to them, you only listen to their very good music but you see nothing, I would not go or paid, great music but so that they turn their backs on me, that's why I give it to them.
