Glass Cloud "White Flag" (Lyric Video)

[@xdiavlo]

Dude, missing this band :(

[@ishmaelexpatriate]

Sameee :c

[@iiimadmaniii]

8 yesrs strong

[@exponent2316]

Me too man

[@cocozimme]

Ive been listening to this album and SEA self titled non stop lately

[@XIceLitNickX]

Not too much screaming to make my ears pop, not too much chorus singing to mellow it. Good job!

[@appleipodtouch2g]

The single most energetic breakdown that exist

[@MrWorld98]

Its freaking crazy live

[@drugma23]

Anton Vorona ikr omg i love these guys live

[@appleipodtouch2g]

Hell I saw them live with only Jerry and Josh and it was still a hell of a show.

[@drugma23]

yeah i saw them on the ap tour 2012 and next to volumes and taim it was one of the most pumped up pit ever

[@texasshred]

I guess you've never heard of Unearth.

[@TransitOfMarsOfficial]

Shoutout to this banger fkn 11 years later

[@Vycrance]

Can't stop coming back to this video. This bands sounds so original, they are definitely going far. Can't believe how great Jerry sounds!

[@hankworx]

I have a hard time listening through this whole CD because I repeat this track 8-14 times.

[@cloudvsdeath]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 To fucking true

[@OfTheDevilToRemember]

Wow, I'm so glad he got out of OMAM to make this, great! I'll be a fan of BOTH OMAM and this!

[@ArcGG]

I lost this song for about 2 years and I'm glad i found it again. HELL YEAH

[@neilrhode5968]

Welcome back.

[@jamieray7278]

Please just make more music.... my fave band tbh

[@matthewself6546]

I love to eat a couple tabs and get lost in the djent sauce baby yessssss josh Travis is that dooooood

[@RaijinSozin]

Saaaammmeeeee

[@kingforaday721]

This song literally gets better everytime I listen to it. Cant wait to see them next month at Jamboree.

[@TheMcTrain]

This reminds me so much of old SEA!!! I am so stoked for this album and the growth of this band!

[@musicxmovesxme]

got this song on an Equal Vision spring sampler with my MerchNow purchase and I fell in love

[@SilverHorizons13]

I just got to say, as a person who loves Of Mice & Men, I thoroughly enjoy this. Regardless of mine or anyone's standpoint on Jerry, this is an awesome song. There's no reason to hate on a band just for who is in it. I look forward to hearing more from Glass Cloud, and seeing where they go.

[@shatalg]

That pre-breakdown transition is just sick

[@dinojeans]

Glass Cloud = My new favorite band! Keep doing the great job guys!

[@Rambeard]

I'm so stoked for the debut album from Glass Cloud. One of my most anticipated of this year. #webeenhere

[@colonelpanic414]

Holy shit this SLAYED live tonight, what a great show.

[@devinmcnulty7075]

this is such a badass song, i always listen to iT before my games to get motivated

[@DanceCandiceDance]

like i'm actually crying. glasscloud is my sanjaya forever

[@Schroedercore]

Just because you have 8 strings, it doesn't make your tuning lower. You can tune it to drop A. Tosin has his tuned to standard with two bottom E strings, one tuned an octave lower. If I'm not mistaken.

[@fatefatefate]

I always loved The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza so hearing this with the old singer for Sky Eats Airplane is a combo I don't think I would have ever expected.

[@ElliotColeman]

This is, undeniably, badass

[@austinforeman11]

They do play 6 string basses. Saw em last night in Louisville. One of the best lives bands, too. Literally spot-on with every part.

[@jamseyy]

It's actually a modified drop E tuning with alternating fourths and fifths up until the third string, but you're obviously smart and already knew that. He's used that tuning for at least three years now.

[@pharaohgirgzz]

K they are good! I’m going to see them this Friday for sure.

[@guitarman6823]

I love OM&M and I just found out about Glass Cloud and love them now too!

[@Mp5Drummer]

Finally! Been a HUGE fan of fan of Jerry ever since the Sky Eats Airplane self titled!

[@chuckyLarmed]

If you want to get really specific it's a PICKING style coined by Meshuggah (hit the strings hard, palm mute hard and you get a djent). It just so happened that a bunch of bands started utilizing some of the rhythmic and tonal elements of the band and using the word as a genre. There's no use denying that it's a genre now, just because of majority rule.

[@FrostbiteRep]

this is like VoM mixed with SEA fucking loving it. ive been waiting a long time for jerry to get back in the game.

[@nkolis92]

You're exactly right. For the sake of the music functioning in theory, sometimes Cb and E# are written, even when they aren't commonly used. It simply depends on what key signature you're using. Are there people on here actually arguing that haha?

[@Hoagie2310]

After months of anticipation I believe that this completely met my expectations and I am really excited to see them in April :D

[@draggboy]

This song reminds me a lot of Sky Eats Airplane. Especially their first album. Although as much as I like Glass Cloud, I think Sky Eats Airplane was much more original and were doing this when it was much more ahead of it's time (I don't know why SEA isn't considered one of the main pioneers of "djenty", especially the more melodic/electronic/'core style like this). I also think Jerry Roush is ten times the clean vocalist, but Glass Cloud's vocals seem very inspired by him and their scream sounds pretty similar. I just see a lot of similarities in the sound and song structure. And the stuttering vocals are classic SEA. Kind of sucks SEA didn't get the recognition they deserved in their prime, but I feel they were just ahead of their time and people just didn't understand this style enough back then. At least a couple of their members are having some success with Zelliack at the moment.

[@Pinkbun17]

Aaron Dragg I completly agree with you! That was my favorite album of all time! I think it does show his voice off better too...

[@draggboy]

PInkbun17 You the man :) That album was so under appreciated. Especially now, it's almost like its non-existent even when it's so pivotal and influential (in my opinion) and just plain great to listen to. My band opened for SEA and August Burns Red right when that album came out and they had just started touring for it. Since we were opening for them and we knew the promoters and venue owners, etc, they let me and my band climb up on the huge stacks of PA speakers, about 12 feet above the stage, and we got to see EVERYTHING perfectly. It was kind of like watching Periphery perform today, except back then, no bands were that tight and machine-like. They sounded just like the album. They're also the first band I've ever heard of who's drummer played to a click because of the samples incorporated into the music.

[@hightimeswithseagore598]

original...what is original anymore? This is great especially the sum of its parts but this is much much heavier than Sky Eats Airplane.

[@CactusFantasmo]

That's the one! Might have to give it a spin now

[@DecimateTheTyrant]

Why are so many people talking shit about this? It's fucking awesome. I just saw them live this past Friday and was blown away by it. I think too many people are just being too quick too judge without actually thinking about the fact that it isn't Tony Danza. I really like this project and hope to hear lots more.

[@enotfed]

yeah man, i totally agree on that. i just found out about glass cloud though. and i think he's doing pretty good.

[@acgb19]

i love it when i discover awesome bands like this by clicking me randomly through YT =]

[@Raxyn532]

YOU'RE MY HERO SIR. You win the internet.

[@brutalpinecone28]

saw them last night at the AP tour and i have never seen a band go that crazy, the lead singer did a fucking front flip off the speakers and kept screaming while crowd surfing, and they were the opening band that nobody knew

[@AlexSickskee]

This actually makes hardcore not so generic and actually interesting and amazing again. (:

[@MilanBaros4Life15]

Idk what the heck you guys are talking about I think the lyrics are very powerful. My interpretation is a song about struggle can either raise the "white flag" and give up very easily without trying or you can take the hard route and fight through and achieve what it is your working towards.

[@916redsox]

Holy shit. I've missed you Mr. Roush and friends. This is music.

[@charlixplague]

this is Exactly the kind of sound that i like to hear Jerry in. with Of Mice & Men it just wasn't the same. Sky Eats Airplane and THIS is where its at :))) stoked on it

[@jeleopard]

Never said Periphery wasn't amazing. Hell, on my birthday, I'm seeing them for the second time. Djent was (and still is I suppose) a style of playing, but has become a genre.

[@itsmeshaner]

Are people seriously still arguing about the definition of djent? Just chill and don't worry about what someone's definition of a word is. Holy crap.

[@UnskilledGod]

It just goes to prove how stupid they are, by taking the definition from Wiki instead of making their own up.

[@mikue666]

No argument here but technically djent is just a picking style for guitar as much as an arpeggio. calling any genre 'Djent" is like calling an amplifier a pedal. Its just a specific way to play. Yes, some bands (hell a lot of bands) utilize it more but that does not make it a genre. Still not argument just want to inform the ignorant. Not saying you guys are but other people.

[@shatalg]

Right, and ROCK became a genre just because people 'rocked' to the music. ITS JUST A MOVEMENT OF THE BODY AND NOT A GENRE PEOPLE.

[@DERBUERO]

right its a special powercord on a 6 string in drop tuning its on the second thread on the 3rd string and then play these and semi mute them with your right hand while picking WOLLAH Djent and Purr

[@xjeremykniffenx]

Saw these guys last night!

[@leeandyleee]

reminds me a bit of periphery. it has a pretty dramatic sound in my opinion. good job to these guys.

[@DanceCandiceDance]

oh my god you are literally perfect

[@Jacksoncomplex]

If you want to believe that then i'm not going to argue with what makes you happy or what you want to believe, i dont see it as a genre but i think the music is good

[@0Just0Josh0]

we get it, youd drop to your knees in an instant for all of them, but this is a Glass Cloud video, and theyre pretty great too

[@JayMarreroMusic]

This is AWESOME!! This ain't no Danza but I can hear Josh Travis all over this song! That's how fukin badass and unique Josh is! Can't wait for the album!! \m/

[@VALos703]

super chills down my spine

[@tylerdirten2346]

21’ new album whaaaat???👀

[@tforkirbiie]

Jerry said Josh wrote all his parts and sent it to them to be produced/mixed in the introduction videos

[@jeleopard]

Screamo is a genre, though. Look up Orchid - Epilogue for a Car Crash Or Pg. 99, they're pretty crazy as well. Djent is a genre too, as it's more than just the heavily palm-muted guitar. Other defining characteristics: low tuned, mid-boosted guitars; bass providing most of the bottom end; heavy syncopation in guitars and drums with the bass drum accenting the guitar hits; sometimes a light, atmospheric guitar or synth; growled vocals, clean vocals at times. Djent is now a genre.

[@azwethinkweiz316]

Do you people that dislike this song, the band, the members think that Glasscloud is going to debut what they believe is their favorite song off of the new record? HELL NO!!!! I love this band, their sound is original!!! Put Danza III and SEA s/t in a blender. It takes balls to combine the two. And they totally pulled it off. So, to all of the doubters.... just wait until the full length release to make a decision.

[@tdud007]

i'm seeing them in june. Don't they only have two songs released though? I know they will play songs on the new album of course.

[@SynVenganceShadows]

tosin embraced the term djent. he said its a movement of bands with a similar sound to their music (low tunings, off time rhythms, ambience,etc.) that came around at the same time. he said he believes djent could be used to describe the genre. just think about it. the term heavy metal was originally a song lyric ("Heavy metal thunder"- born to be wild) and that became a genre because people began to refer to music as such. Djents the same way. originally it was a tone/chord, but now its a genre.

[@iantruax17]

They were really good live. i must admit.

[@kevinlabrake8517]

Love the style.. better than a lot of the shit out today. They need to keep this style and not change bc of their label. Sounds great just this way.

[@getscaredbvbfir]

Love the song, it's great. And I love Austin Carlile.. Proud of Jerry Roush :) Of Mice & Men and Glass Cloud tour anyone? ;)

[@HSofRapture1]

Love the display picture

[@Erinaz22]

Honestly, I don't give a shit what your all bitching about. That intro sold me. I love this song and I can't wait for more Glass Cloud. And this is coming from someone that LOVES Of Mice and Men and Austin. And as much as I was obsessed with the song Numbers by SEA, this is one of the best intros to a song.

[@BigV120695]

well if u argue that design the skyline is better than CG then u need help, but yea alot of ppl hate on CG cuz of Alex's new screams. i personally love em. theyre just mad heavy idk whats not to like about them either. they proved to everybody that they arent all breakdowns either, My Damnation is very melodic and different from Desolation

[@Samus5164]

It's definitely a subgenre at this point, especially considering such subgenres as ambidjent and djentstep are being / are around...

[@MetalheadWolfman]

Wikipedia: "Djent (English pronunciation: /'dʒɛnt/) also known as djent metal,[1] is a heavy metal movement that developed as a spinoff of progressive metal.[2][3] The word "djent" is an onomatopoeia for the distinctive high-gain, distorted palm-muted guitar sound employed by Meshuggah, coined by their lead guitarist, Fredrik Thordendal. Typically, the word is used to refer to music that makes use of this sound, to the sound itself, or to the scene that revolves around it."

[@ericbliss8781]

Anyway, im not gettin in on the little fight that is going no where, But both of them have vocal talent that suits each of there bands music, so instead of arguing about whose better. both of the artists music can be improved there's no limit and nothin is perfect, plus if they didnt put in the time, effort and dedication, both sides of this fued wouldn't have the music for us to enjoy, anyone seeing the point?

[@Embracable]

best sense of humor on here

[@Drummerbrah16]

I need to download this song.

[@IJL-Old]

I like the part where you took the drop Z part literally.

[@danielthompson8319]

Hello from 2022. Music doesnt sound this good these days

[@thatdrummeroz654]

2021 cause fuck me! ☄🔥

[@bluto727]

The first time I saw one of these lyric videos I thought it was really cool, but now I kind of wish everyone would quit making them. This band is pretty good though.

[@Towhomthismayconcern]

I like this. This is good.

[@Radkechick]

Jamboree in Toledo tomorrow with them;

[@Mayoreoin]

@fantasticsteve you are trying. I'm pretty sure antares intended it to be a pitch correction program it pretty simple if you think about it Auto- Tune*. even through wiki it explains its inteded use of altering the pitch and in the recording process it is used to alter the pitch when a human error is made. fail troll

[@caedonstoddard5761]

Any know if there are any tabs of this song? I've been looking everywhere to learn it but I can't seem to find it anywhere. This album came out in 2012 but no covers or anything

[@misterrhorse6685]

only ones for ivy & wine. i checked and thats the only one from this album

[@jeremeeDROPS]

I think I just played this song as well as counting sheep, for the past hour on repeat.

[@musicfortheweak2158]

BEST DJENTCORE BAND EVER! PERIOD!

[@darksoulsnstuff6850]

Djent = metalcore + prog. No need for that label

[@DressLikeAGuitarget]

@JesterJay423 I was just about to make a comment about how everyone is talking about Jerry and no one is talking about Josh, but I saw this. You're a winner. haha

[@sarodimin]

I think it sounds more heavy, adds a darker tone to it, you know? either way, i think these guys sound pretty great.

[@chilbome]

finally! its released! haha! so good!

[@_cloudburst]

Coming from the guy who actually WROTE THE ORIGINAL WIKIPEDIA PAGE... It's a stacked power chord, and ONLY a stacked power chord. Fredrik from Meshuggah did coin the word, but it was used in order to describe a stacked power chord. Find me a band that only uses the same stacked power chord for their guitar tracks and I MIGHT consider it a genre.

[@TheBitTV]

At 2:17 becomes the most intense/darkest thing i've ever heard. Wow this song is mindblowing.

[@PRWOLF1212]

I stumbled upon them and just wrote that haha. I didn't know it was him till i looked them up.

[@TreTorres3]

@kingforaday721 that feud got started by jeery and was squashed by jerry. im an of mice & men fan and both are just about the same

[@1kingsfan41]

@IRawrStarI Yep, he did their self titled album.

[@DrummingKid101]

THIS IS ON MY EQUALVISION DEMO CD :O

[@williamburke4007]

djent is onomatopoeia. simple as that... whatever it has been made into or it's connotation or association doesn't matter. its a word depicting a sound.

[@Johnhassthisaccount]

Good on you Roush and Travis. I like

[@pyroplaya18712]

i love everyone compares this to SEA. no shit its gonna sound like SEA its the same vocalist. what do you expect it to sound like?

[@crsini520]

just because you can't come up with inspirational, witty, and creative lyrics such as "stare if you stare" doesn't give you the right to criticize the modern day geniuses that can.

[@santasfavritrainderr]

that bridge going into the break down is so 1998 post grunge alternative.

[@TetraVaalBioSecurity]

@RiseOfTheFallenKing ...He's still in Danza, this is just something else for him to do--and trust me, there will be much heavier stuff than this on the album, which will feature Josh's signature sound and insane guitar playing.

[@whoismilio]

I fucking love Jerry Roush. Glass Cloud is one of the best fucking bands out there at the moment.

[@Immolator772]

For those who are arguing about the djent genre. ''Djent /ˈdʒɛnt/ is a style of heavy metal music that was developed as a spinoff of traditional progressive metal''

[@rodkimble11]

AlphaLeader772 Its a palm muting technique, not sure why so many people named it a genre.

[@Immolator772]

RandyKimble13 People confuse genre with style a lot.

[@_Ersatzbankspieler]

There are other genres named after sounds etc. for example kick and drum or twostep. Also I think it makes sense to give the djent bands their own sub genre because when most people hear the term prog metal they think more of bands like Dream Theater, Tool, Fates Warning rather than Tesseract, Monuments or Born Of Osiris.

[@syphe101]

Yeah. Its an onomatopoeia. The word onomatopoeia comes from the combination of two Greek words, onoma meaning "name" and poiein meaning "to make," so onomatopoeia literally means "to make a name (or sound)." That is to say that the word means nothing more than the sound it makes. The word "boing," for example, is simply a sound effect, but one that is very useful in making writing or storytelling more expressive and vivid. Many onomatopoeic words can be verbs as well as nouns. "Slap" for instance, is not only the sound that is made by skin hitting skin, but also the action of hitting someone (usually on the face) with an open hand. (LOL) Djent is legit.

[@WeDoBirthdays66]

Im in awe

[@RickBomhof]

,Starting to like this stuff more with each second of audio. Not bad!

[@xcmoney01x]

Damn this is a good start
