Hacktivist - 'HACKTIVIST' - (Official Video)

'Hacktivist' written, performed and produced by Hacktivist
Available on the self titled EP "Hacktivist" - www.hacktivist.uk.com/store
LYRICS:
I like grime and grunge, and when I go raves, I wanna see wall-to-wall clunge
I wanna be drops-a-plunged straight into the music; all number ones
I absorb up the sea like a sponge; let it all out with the kick and the snare and the drum
Everybody owning the place at the front; straight to the mosh pit lunge
I'm not to suggest but you're dumb. You'd better do your sums
If I'm on a fire everyone comes; I'm ready to swing like an elephant trunk
I'm from a place where bodies get dumped; I ain't talking 'bout animals when I say that I got skunk
I'm talking the new shit: this is the Hacktivist
I think that you have bitten off more than you can chew
It's Hacktivist, mother-fuckers!
(Mother-fucker)
Much sicker than most; you've bitten off what you can't fit down your throat
This is Hacktivist, this ain't a joke; we're actually smacking it, making you choke
Without getting in for assault; just spitting my flow, ripping up shows
We shock more than a million votes; it's time to evoke, we can only grow
Alright now, I'm in the zone; just had an epiphany while on the microphone
A differing harder than stone; just cannot be cloned
Cause times are changing; we bring the new age in
We're infiltrating; system invasion
Get down on your knees
(Times are changing; we bring the new age in)

thx mate

[@HEXVGRVM]

Appreciate it!

[@gewr]

The first verse has loads of mistakes "and when I go raves I wanna see wall to wall clunge" "when the beat drops I plunge straight into the music all on my ones"

[@nikitagrishin1569]

I love metal and I love grime, so when I found this band I simply came

[@ethanmorrow4241]

Same here! I love rap and I love metal and when they combine, it's amazing!

[@tralaw1212]

After almost. Nothing new happening in metal for 5 years, this is like a breath of fresh air

[@NTye]

Love this song, so bouncy, groovy and yet somewhat heavy...

[@patulia]

DAMN NICE GROOVE, LIKE MESHUGGAH

[@UncleSteve94]

2052 I’m gonna be blaring this screaming at my grandkids “I THINK THAT YOU CANT AFFORD A PIKACHU!!”

[@ryand1349]

3:19 - Perfect response to finding out this band exists

[@timoruokola]

Heard song for the first time yesterday @ Rock the Beach Festival in Helsinki, Finland... Hacktivist was easily the strongest act, despite the fact that there were such big names as Green Day, QOTSA, Stone Sour, Billy Talent etc... Still simply blown away by this one, previously i had heard nothing but Cold Shoulders. Times are changing /,,/

[@sirnugget17]

Saw these guys live and they're sick

[@victorpoblano6701]

Fuck8ng second to last riff always gets me

[@smokejc]

2:48 I love how he's playing even though you can't hear it.

[@TehJammHD]

one of the best gigs i went to, got the crowd pumped so much for shikari! mosh pits were unreal

[@paulphoenix1669]

the "GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES" is some of the most fucking aggressive shit ive ever heard, have had this song on repeat for pretty much the last 3 years lol, so fucking tight

[@tripwavesuk9529]

the "wew" bit at 3:18 is my life

[@StreetxDSM]

Wish i had a copy of the EP i would be jamming this all the time.

[@vicmariodeth]

This is what Linkin Park should have evolved to

[@Unwedged]

vicmariodeth well... rip chester

[@MDMetalManiac]

Finally, someone who understands why I criticise everything about Linkin Park after the album Minutes to Midnight!

[@jonathanjalbert5177]

@@MDMetalManiac after minute to midnight? please, this album was also trash except for 2 MAYBE 3 songs :) Let's be realistic, linkin park stopped to be good after meteora.

[@philb7431]

meshuggah style? they couldn't even if they tried, they could never play real metal riffs anyway.

[@robertbrooks9805]

More like Rage.

[@victorpoblano6701]

Awesome song been jamming it for years

[@pptubea]

1:48 I think that you can't afford a Pikachuuuu

[@PiousMoltar]

Ah yes. Wall to wall clunge. I, too, would like to see it. Seriously though this is the shit.

[@mariusbalacl]

It's not a joke that "The Best Shark Attacks In Movies" is a related video!

[@pleasedontsuemepvris]

This is amazing. I hope they become popular with this awesome genre!

[@irodallah]

You, guys, can make track-bombs

[@crayonmicrobe]

hard track still in 2022

[@olliekingdj]

that is the bassist girl friend, absolutely no joke.

[@Enegr0]

Que mostros, la definición de hardcore en el rap ha cambiado un poco, ahora hace falta 9 cuerdas x)

[@arnolddbc]

1:56 OMFG!

[@MTB4RNR]

In my opinion J Hurley makes Hacktivist one of the most unique djent bands out there. I love the rap & djent style.

[@KEVINheartsMETAL]

This one of the only "djent" bands that i can get into. At least they arent the same wanna be periphery band. Its awesome. I did not expect that rapping. Its a nice change of pace from the screaming

[@ploppoo95]

whether you like the vocals or not doesn't really matter. Everything together as a band actually works surprisingly well.

[@parametrosbandbyelias9194]

2022 and still the best rap djent song!!

[@ajoymercury]

finally!! found something fresh for MUSIC

[@maxinator96]

THAT FUCKING RIFF

[@andreivandrummer]

2:43 Drummers looks like Christian Bale xD

[@ApolloIrish]

dudes, keep it up, can't stop listening to your tracks and the vocals are just amazing, nicely done lads

[@Kezzakush]

Been on loop all morning. Amazing track

[@ninjabiatch101]

I love the white haired scene girl standing awkwardly to the side of the stage at 3:31. XD it always catches my eye.

[@slipknotmaggot4eva1]

Saw these guys just yesterday with Enter Shikari, they're an absolutely outstanding live band!

[@duboiskenty6074]

I think that you can't afford a pikachu

[@sarahheraughty]

The amount of people I've injured to this song last night when they were supporting Enter Shikari is unreal hahah

[@babytiny5807]

How do you get the sound just after the intro? It sounds like extremely precise palm mutes, is there any technology assisting it?

[@IvanLjubesicljubax]

you need to pop your string a little with the pick,and mute it with your palm(example 1:00) and ofc,get the 'djent' sound (using tube screamer,getting mids and treble up aswell as presence, bass down) or just get axe fx or line 6 pod hd

[@Dev0Tii97]

It actually sounds like he's using a killswitch.

[@IvanLjubesicljubax]

No,just precise picking and muting

[@TheStarlessAeon]

Patrick Harmon Use tons of noise gates and fuck loads of gain.

[@ademus4]

I think you could get something close by palm muting a little further away from the bridge than normal (gives that 'djent' style attack), muting with your left hand between pick strikes, and using a noise-gate (fast attack, high threshold). For the recording I think it's a post-mixing trick using compression and a noise-gate.

[@smkeu]

Great! I knew he left HOAC but had no idea he was in Hacktivist.

[@zBUzl]

hey how are you guys not on itunes??!! u guys rock!!

[@coreyfromaus]

Australian Tour would be sick

[@BrynLFilms]

yep, they're just starting out, and released a new song recently

[@austincornette30]

This is so fucking sick! Im surprised how well they pulled off the "djenty" heavy guitar without gutterals and shit. MAD RESPECT!

[@organicate]

Just heard them for the first time today, I think it's fresh as fuck and I'm an old bastard. I find it hard to get into new shit. Labelling stuff is so stupid but to me, my immediate analysis is that they carry the torch for underground foward thinking as much as (hed)p.e did with their first album. That shit was hard.. I'm not on about ANY of their other albums, but the first one was an underground classic. Can't wait to hear more from Hactivist..

[@xMiCVAS]

An Australian tour is required.

[@wjveryzer7985]

these guys are masters at these kind of songs. Funny thing this is SO simlar to unlike us and elevate but I still love it. Never enough djent.

[@killedyesterday]

LOL, i loved to listen to bass turn it on max

[@TehJammHD]

Saw these last night supporting enter shikari. They were fucking unreal!

[@r0bb073]

He needs to scream like that more, sounds epic mixed in. 'Get down on your knees!'

[@AndreyParshin]

This is the best Pikachu song I've ever heard!

Anyone know the full lyrics too this song? Can't find them anywhere :/ Sick song, fell in love with these guys after seeing them and Shikari in Ebbw Vale, I just remember Ben asking me for a Rizla after the show :')

[@MichaelSacamos]

Djent vibe with a mixture of Rap plus a Linkin Park vibe is equal to Hacktivist!!! 😀

[@Gowingnator]

Thank you Radio 1 for this awesome band recommendation!

[@GrampaDenny74]

Just heard of these guys a few days ago, the more I hear the more I like their style.

[@michelleregala6571]

US tour please?

[@archa1624]

Damn this music is so good. I wish it was available somewhere for free download.

[@Samus5164]

It's some form of ESP or LTD, considering the serial number inlay on the 12th fret.

[@000sicair]

So where's that full length?

[@TheQwertykeyboard11]

Almost died during that set... so fucking sick.

[@quelms100]

this sounds like it could be off Meshuggah's Nothing album.
