Hail The Villain - Take Back The Fear (Official HD Music Video)

[@TravelingDB]

2024! Rock On🤘

[@bryancrouch9595]

hey everyone! I thought I would share the meaning of the video since so many comments infer there is a lot of confusion! First of all the lead character Drake is living 2 lives. One as a family man and the other as the man he really always was. There are also 2 worlds in play: a dead world and the living. All the characters in this video are from the living world except the 4 villains in the coffee shop who have been sent to keep an eye on Drake and keep him alive until the dead world is ready for him. Thea (the girl who runs Drake over) is the daughter of the dead world and is responsible for getting pregnant with Drakes child. When she "kills" him at the end, she believes he will will enter the dead world where she can be with him after the child is born. Problem for her is the Drake can bounce between both worlds and the ending of this video was only the set up for the story. "Runaway" runs parallel to this video and shows what happen in the diner after Drake left. "My Reward" was supposed pick up right after the car scene but a live action video was chosen to save money instead and abandon the story. I believe a comic book exists for it somewhere but I've yet to ever own a copy of it! Hope you all enjoyed the video and 4.5 years later I'm glad to see many more just discovering the band.... Even if it ended so quickly! Cheers, Bryan

[@nathanmillenschimmel8096]

Bryan Crouch yes, there is a comic book showing what happened after this. It is called "My Reward", but I dunno if a copy is being sold.

[@INTEL965GAMES]

I been watched the video like 200 times. AND NEVER FOUND THIS COMMENT. GOOOD

[@CUattheheelline24]

Bryan Crouch great song and video! I'm a high school football Coach and we blast this song pre-game every Friday night during the season to get Jacked up before kick off. My guys love it!

[@shanebarrett5053]

Wow, cheers for the explanation. The band was one of the reasons I headed to Montreal for Heavy MTL 2010.

12 years ago, I had this song on repeat for a solid month...just rediscovered it and back on repeat 😅

[@batuhanbaranbahar9718]

this song, reminds me good old times

[@Korruptorr]

this whole album goes so hard

[@jar-dw7iu]

I've been looking for this song for three years!...THREE years! Finally today I've found it and it's as good and refreshing as it has ever been! Wow

[@arkhammurdock]

Originally this band introduced me to the Rock and Metal scene, they were the reason why I turned into a metalhead, after this guys I searched for more bands and styles, I always thought they had an amazing style that sadly isn't getting the recognizing that it deserves. So sad that the band is now split up :(

[@dezgasting]

Ironically enough HtV is also what got me into rock and metal more, eventually I ended up being a legit metalhead. HtV is still in my heart tho. Love 'em, so sad they split.

[@jojojoestar508]

Ikr there band is so good

[@regiflex9603]

Check out Six Side Die they have a similar style also if I’m correct the singer from Hail The villain went there

[@mayarae4371]

Saw this on TV, had to check it out 👍🏼👍🏼

[@davidewersmann9730]

shit is sick as hell. not many views. ppl are missing good music

[@jrlawson1633]

they shouldve been hudge but they broke up before they got the chance but im with you this album is killer

[@bluejaffa]

Can't stop listening to this song!

[@RaviYadav-bj6mw]

HOLY shit I remember listening to this in 2016 on NAT GEO music! it's been 8 years, and I still remember this song and video

[@davedupras3770]

The whole album is great !

[@andyb1071]

omg. i just sat and stared at the video for about 30 secs non stop in awe. if never done that to any music before. amazing,

[@mypenisisunbelievablysmall3115]

Here in 2022. I miss this band so much, they had so much potential to grow & expand not just with music but visual storytelling too.

[@youth4619]

I love how there’s a connection between the story in this and Runaway, nice touch.

[@OrionInception]

Still watching this in 2018. Never gets old.

[@darrellpowers6840]

Discovered these guys in Tulsa oklahoma back in 2011 they put on a pretty wmn good show for a band I never heard of at the time.

[@cristogomez7040]

This band ended way too quickly! their only album population: declining is packed with amazing tunes in my opinion. check it out man!

[@TheVinor14]

there was one another album they did called disconnected back when they were called fahrenheit, that album has some great song on it to, also check out six side die, thats where the lead singer from hail the villain is now.

[@frankgrieco5150]

I saw them live back when they were supporting cky in the u.s. I dont even think this album came out yet. I was real impressed and thought they would really get somewhere, fate had other plans

[@ArtByFinch]

I saw them open for CKY and was an instant fan. Was so sad to hear they parted ways. I literally use this song to overcome my panic attacks to this day -

[@4biddenflow]

It hurts me to my soul. I literally can’t believe this came out 11 years ago. Fuck man

[@enquivlug]

in a world when kids singing songs that haven't yet hit puberty and rapers that aoutone their voices the band hail the villain brings hope to this world even if people don't know what real talent it

[@Burns0306]

The one released album from HtV is just so insanely good. I saddens me to learn that they disbanded before they could really put work in. Here's to hoping in the future they re-connect. One of my favorite albums of all time, easily.

[@Jaachi_Aaron-CJ041]

I’m not gonna let you take this song away from me as long as You want and I’m feeling it?!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤟🏾😝🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@chewytoken4220]

Wish they did more honestly

[@tuchesuavae]

How am I just now discovering this band, holy balls. I'm gonna go watch your other videos now.

[@undeadicus]

I know that feel, I discovered them back in 2011. I never got the chance to see them live...

[@cristogomez7040]

Excappex I saw them here in Montreal at a small venue of aprox. 60 -70 people in the crowd. They putted an amazing show, they sounded great. they chilled with the crowd after the concert. It was the life. Sadly the band ended way to quickly.

[@undeadicus]

Sadly, when vocal chords decide to quit, it's hard to get them working again.

[@LukeSparrow221]

Excappex They're working again though, just not in this band.

[@cristogomez7040]

that's what i read. I'd like to hear what they been up to.

[@LazyEye513]

God I still ****ing love this song. Hi! to me from 2010!

[@4biddenflow]

I can’t believe it’s been 11 years, damn

[@HeavyMetalOldGuy]

I bought this album back in 2010..... Loved it and still do!

[@tomcorlissjr3815]

Such an amaxing soundtrack to so many memories with my brothers thsy i had to move away from.

[@MetalMama-Mimi523]

WTH? Why do I have to keep going back and liking these videos? I literally liked every video, AGAIN, 5 days ago and listening to this now and it says I only liked 1 song.

[@EyeMuhPieRut]

Hail The Villain is the opposite of Protest The Hero

[@joeredfield7647]

EyeMuhPieRut and both are from Oshawa!

[@jincasa]

Protest is whitby

[@KyleKudelko]

Greatest Music Video ive ever seen...This video is Epicosity Defined...

[@joeytocd]

I'm still gutted by the fact that they cancelled all of these huge plans they had in store. :( I can't even find the comics in any place I search. The story and the tone alone would've been perfect in either Dark Horse or Image Comics! I really wish they'd get back together and at least finish all of that up. They owe it to themselves. We need closure. They may not be dead, but are they actually writing?...

[@_____________4673]

Lead singer tore his vocal cords, they kicked him out because he didn't get well in the allotted time, which was 2 months.

[@nathanmillenschimmel8096]

Joe Torres go to Rune.co and read the comics there

[@oldschooldeathmetal8417]

Nathan Millen Schimmel i went on rune.co and it didn't make me read the comic, it just showed me some images and videos of the band (which can be found on youtube), what should i do?

[@BathoryMcClemont]

If you still want good music check out Six side die, the singers new band

[@cvnt34t3r]

+Bathory McClemont I'm so glad he joined/started a new band, the HTV members were so cruel to him after what happened to him

[@arturstadnix]

+Shamara van Wesel what happened?

[@cvnt34t3r]

Артур Стадник He had vocal cord cancer (I think that's what it's called) and the band told him that if he didn't recover as soon as possible, he would be thrown out of the band. And they did that. So Six Side Die is pretty much a big "fuck you" to Hail The Vilain. Bastards.

[@arturstadnix]

+Shamara van Wesel poor Bryan. This is his name, isn't it? Thank you very much for the information . But where is HTV now? There are no news from them. New singer's group? I didn't hear about it.

[@BathoryMcClemont]

i don't think he had cancer, but yeah i saw his new band live opening for Thy art is murder, and i didn't even realize till after the show i was like, oh damn i knew that singer sounded familiar for a reason lol

[@gusav-pi8wq]

Underrated BAND, but Rip the vocalist he get out of the band

[@Sekkelx]

The entire band disolved.*

No the band fired him when he lost his voice, then wanted him back later but he wasn't buy 'n it

[@nationofcool83]

One of the best hard rock songs ever made. Too bad their band name was a ripoff of "Protest The Hero".

[@chiip._]

Definitely, I still want to find out any way to contact the band or even Six Side Die. This band and even Six Side Die have alot of potential, every song by both bands I am a fan of

[@4biddenflow]

It is a rip from protest the hero but it fits with the imagery and theme they were going for imo

I've been listening to this band for years. This is one of the first songs I learned on guitar whe. I was like 14 or something and now I want to do the vocals after years of doing vocal work.
