Hail The Sun "Chunker" (Official Music Video)

[@J.o.s.h.9.5]

Don't know why these guys aren't bigger. All the records are so tight and unique

[@acidwayne6928]

Most people are sheep and only listen to mainstream tik tok songs lmao if only they could experience this world one day

[@C.M.M.23]

Could be that this world doesn't deserve such ascended musicianship. 🤔

[@incongruous4]

Their whole identity is that they're a copy of dance gavin dance. Being a copy of a band that gets a few million views per music video and having no influences beyond 1 band isn't going to get you that far

This band just always delivers man, they don’t turn up bad records, truly enjoy their work!

[@frankmarano1118]

Well said. Always put out bangers everytime

[@nicholasduncan5842]

What's your favorite song by them?

[@frankmarano1118]

@@nicholasduncan5842 thats a tough question when it comes to them. Black Serotonin & Hanging Revelation. Wake might be their best album overall. But "Doing the same thing & expecting different results" has such an amazing ending. Parasitic cleanse is really good. Mental Knife is probably my least favorite album but I mean that's only because the others are just so amazing. I know there are other ones up there I'm not thinking of like Human target practice or Missed Injections

[@MrJakotic]

1:42 I love how that drum lick perfectly matches the guitar solo

[@C.M.M.23]

Good call. That is a Hail The Sun idiosyncrasy that I zeroed in on as well- especially in their earlier work (Wake, Elephantitis). Donovan goes underappreciated with how smooth he uses that highly unconventional drumming to ride along with the guitars. Not just laying down a beat in time with the melody, but blatantly staccato-sticking out the drums to mirror the picking patterns. For a lot of those moments- it initially hit my ears in a jarring way. Like my subconsciousness going, "Wait, that was wrong..." but then upon going back, it is actually not. Similarly, Donovan has exceptional talent for firing off blast beats where you would never expect them, but making them seem like a given.

[@RBDrums]

this has to be one of the best songs i’ve ever heard. I’m not even joking. The chorus, the solo, the rhythms, the structure. It’s just perfect, there’s nothing more I could want but more. I’m so excited for this album

[@tony1019]

The feeling

[@hoosway8557]

I cried the first time hearing this lol

[@zombozo651]

I've heard it hundreds of times. It legit doesn't get old. This is Hail The Sun

[@blackrosed8068]

@@hoosway8557 OMG SAME! I made a stank face then started crying.

[@DulceHernandez-zf8fo]

Donovan killed it with the stunning vocals and lyrics ughhhh let’s just talk about the melody it’s soo amazing you guys are soo talented I can’t wait for the album to drop !!!!!😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@moonsets-on_you]

the melody is fucking great--raw and visceral sounding. i love that. One of the most entertaining things abt this band are their switchups mid-song. the switchup at 3:13 is so emotional to me and the drum bridge into that melancholy outro. its all so complete-feeling.

[@C.M.M.23]

3:35 The outro caught me so off-guard with how unreasonably comfy it is. Always something new to latch onto with this band. I am the biggest Coheed and Cambria fan that I know of. And Dance Gavin Dance is a close 2nd. But Hail The Sun might be the best band currently making music. 🤔 They have everything. Every single damn album they make is wonderful.

[@moonsets-on_you]

that outro gives me life dude. Like he's made his peace with the actions he takes now and in the future. Reminds me of Ow! Splidao, Will They Blame Me if You Go Disappearing, and Devastate and Recalibrate= Acoustic Outros in this band are a rare treat

[@defaultuser9925]

Biggest Coheed and Cambria fan? Well if you could let it be, I would've figured you out 😂

[@moonsets-on_you]

3:46 i came back to say i love this outro even more than i already did. i'll spend the entire song listening just to get to that outro. only to hit replay when it ends. the guitar melody,drums, and especially the bass always takes me to a dark comfortable place i never want to leave--with a small glimmer of light i reject piercing the tunnel.

[@Leximelt-02]

I love both those bands you mentioned, it's no wonder I'm obsessed with HTS

[@defaultuser9925]

@@Leximelt-02 I love you.

[@geenpunk]

listening to a hail the sun song for the first time is always so unique it's awesome

[@madhattermadden]

Imagine seeing them live for the first time. That's how I discover them and theyve been a favorite band for years. Love these guys!

[@kyrarincon2091]

They were so good live, they never disappoint. They only get increasingly well. They're truly the best, much love to Donovan, Aric, Shane, John and Allen. ♥️

[@janaisreal8968]

That last shot of Donovan just smiling is so beautiful 😭💖 amazing song and video

[@nbambina856]

He was cheesing the entire set when they played in Houston. Smiles the whole time it was so freaking cute I swear he has the sweetest smile

[@janaisreal8968]

@@nbambina856 And I met him at the concert the other day, his smile is so precious 🥺💖

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the deep and meaningful lyrics that HTS consistently produce? Never anything shallow, trivial or lacking substance. Always make you think. Is it just me?

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

And all my life I've been so stubborn in this way I'd rather see them crash and burn or have to pay Enemies fueling my thoughts Taking up space Why do I have to be so fucking spiteful? And if I suffer they should suffer - that's what I want It gets me nowhere and I'm aware it just makes it worse It just makes it worse And if you break that bond you're breaking something more I don't care about the egos you adore I mean, come on?!?! It's sooo good!

[@moonsets-on_you]

nope not just you. Donovan Melero is the best lyricist ive ever heard. He clearly works hard for that portrayal and fashion of expressing himself. What comes to mind for me is Eight-Ball Coroner's Pocket where he says "I'm losing my patience" but bc drugs are discussed in the song it could be interpreted clearly as losing his "patients". Shit like that transcends music for me and keeps me coming back.

[@Krikenemp18]

Agree absolutely. They're the whole package, pure soul from top to bottom.

[@danano777]

Insane how he verbalizes the feelings I’d rather hide, and the self hatred and wanting to be better. I relate to his words more than any artist.

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

​@@danano777 couldn't agree more. I'm the same way with his lyrics.

[@JuanCruzFabi]

Donovan has really no music peak, he constantly overcome himself

[@VelVAle]

Hail The Sun always in my heart❤‍🔥 thank you guys

[@mesmerizefragaria]

❤️‍🔥Now that I think about it… I’ve listened to HtS for about ten years. It feels cool growing up listening to your music. Thank you.

Thru two 4+ year relationships and from central US to the East Coast. HtS always comes through.

[@moonsets-on_you]

i still remember learning how to skateboard outside my house and Ow! Splidao randomly pops into my youtube recommended and i spent the rest of the afternoon with it on replay.

[@linkyloo1370]

This song is addicting. How are these guys not the biggest in the world

[@ObligatedSloth]

Hail the Sun is so wildly underrated! Constantly impressing me with every release, feel lucky that I know this band exists while most people around me don’t know unless I tell them. Pre ordered Divine Inner Tension today, stoke level is maxed out

[@lemi1063]

i was so distracted by how beautiful donovan’s hair is

[@diefantasy]

this band is so so good live

[@susuicde]

IM SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS BAND!!!

[@G4rm0nb0zi4]

Whenever I see Donovan I cant help but think of the Portlandia sketch "I'm just a little guy!" He's just a little guy! Angry, but just a little guy! I love him and I love Hail the Sun.

[@FrankieWithAnE]

Ok… I can’t get over how good this song is. I preordered that vinyl shirt combo. The ending transition to a slow rhythm is perfect.

[@Waevform]

I love the falsetto donny is randomly doing on this album... so complimentary to the rest of it

[@frozenandchosen]

HTS is one of those bands that I never think abt listening to as much as I should, but whenever they drop new stuff I always find myself fucking FLOORED. This song is incredible and makes me feel emotions I did not expect , I’m so stoked for this album!!!

Never been into HTS. Their songs have always been a little too "all over the place" for me. THIS ALBUM is incredible. I'm getting nostalgia for the 2010 golden age of post-hardcore listening to this.

Just saw them live in Houston and I’m still in awe about how incredible Donovan sounded opening with this song. Instantly felt my heart stop they sounded insaaaane

Damn, it's hard to describe how much I enjoy all your music. It keeps evolving with never losing essence, exploring, yet maintaining HTS. I hope that you guys keep growing and that more ppl get to know your amazing work! It was always like this, but at this point HTS is a genre of it's own and that's fucking awesome.
