Appreciate you doing this review all these years later! My names Ben and i was one of the guitar players/founding member. I actually named the band. Got it from a street sign from a local neighborhood near where i grew up. Currently talking to Boz the OG vocalist. Trying to put some new music out. Thank you to everyone that still jams Jerome. Out of all the bands ive been in Jerome is still my baby. 🤘

[@xtheyan]

Hey Man thank you so much for your comment , you guys are true legends !! Is there any way we could talk because I would like to do a full video about the story of Jerome 🤘🏻🔥

fuck yeah

[@slxxpyhollow]

Omg man! I am so glad you covered this, this demo is a CLASSIC. I remember Eat The Gun being all over everybody's myspace pages back in the day. I genuinely think if Jerome had kept on making music after the demo, they could've blown up and become HUGE. It's funny you said the vocalist sounded like Adam from Oceano in one part because the drummer of Jerome actually became the drummer for Oceano for a while. Boz was a BEAST on the microphone, and I love how he was a massive jock looking dude.

[@xtheyan]

that's awesome ! Thanks for the info

[@billg708]

This band has every element of the classic deathcore sound that I could ever ask for!!!!

[@ghost_to_a_ghost]

my post-hardcore/metalcore band played a show with these dudes back in 2008. we were the opening act for the main event. we were the the second to play. the first band, which was local, stole a DW5000 double kick pedal (my pedal) between sets. we actually got it back, too by walking our crew [BRMD6KC] straight up to them. the dudes in Jerome even got in on helping us get that doublekick back. Awesome dudes. Thanks for another great deathcore vid! digging this new review format!

[@xtheyan]

That's awesome , love the story and thank you for the kind words !

[@alexlebon6456]

Great review!! We need a video on the band 'Boris the Blade',Upon a Burning Body' & 'So This is Suffering'...

[@xtheyan]

Thanks, all on the list!

[@corekiddd]

This EP still slaps

[@lightningmonky7674]

The chainsaw riff at 11:00 is INSANE

[@patrickscott1570]

Still goes hard as hell!

[@vlang2010]

Gotta do a video on Salt the Wound, Abacabb, or Demolisher.

[@xtheyan]

they're all on my list !

[@slxxpyhollow]

Salt the Wound is one of my absolute favorite bands ever, I wish they were still going! Kevin is such a great vocalist and writer, and Jake could shred tf out of guitar, his gallops ruled.

[@Windmillguyy]

I loved this video, you should really make more videos like this were u just react to old Deathcore Ep’s/ albums🤘🏼 maby do Infinite Death by Thy art next?

[@slxxpyhollow]

Hell yeah Infinite Death is a classic. I miss how raw and grimey old deathcore was

[@Windmillguyy]

@@slxxpyhollowsame man

[@droppedf100]

Been listening to Infinite Death a lot lately. And I’ve owned it since it came out. Very solid for sure

[@lightningmonky7674]

Deathcore is just one of the best genres of all time. Love your channel man! 🤘🏻 I cant believe im still discovering bands after all these years, this stuff is so cool

[@user-eq3sy2gp6z]

They made a comeback

[@0xESK1MO]

Eat The Gun not only one of the best deathcore songs imo but also kinda reincarnated and got into mainstream with Chelsea Grin’s *Recreant* coz they sound almost similar to each other

[@benjaminbovay10]

Damn Jerome is still in my Deathcore's Top 10, such a unique EP ! By the was I love the concept of this video, keep doing it. Revisiting some good old breakdown's compilation could be a great idea as well ! 💯

[@dock92music57]

Keep doing these album reviews! Love your deep dives into bands but your take on albums is also super solid, love to hear it. Keep it up man, you’re killing it as a creator

[@xtheyan]

Thank you so much !

[@Hyperenealogical_Genesis]

HOLY SHIT YOURE WEARING A SLAMWICH SHIRT??? You’re actually so fucking sick for supporting them and other small bands, it’s really cool :,) I found them last year on a live video of their rendition of Whore to A Chainsaw and it was BRUTAL. The vocalist is amazing too, she has the perfect voice for the og thy art sound and it’s perfect 🤌🤌🤌 their music is fucking great as well AND they’re super nice people, nothing but support to them ❤️

[@Hyperenealogical_Genesis]

Also this album is nutty lol, ol’ classics

[@lightningmonky7674]

Love the slamwhich shout-out. They are one of the most savage old school deathcore bands out there rn 🤘🏻

[@danstop2]

The guitar player went on to be a founding member of the band MONSTERS. The righteous dead album is a masterpiece.

[@michaelwarden6775]

WE ARE HERE TO FUCKING STAY!

[@mikeyfishhorror3635]

@@michaelwarden6775isn’t that Demolisher? Either way they all came from the same place

[@michaelmoore7869]

not gonna lie, i finally first heard this when it dropped on slam worldwide and now i believe it is the greatest deathcore EP ever created.

[@pieceoftrashkeith]

Monster of an EP! I can't wait for more stuffs from Jerome! I hope it still have the same quality and brutality tho 🔥🔥

[@mrnacl9253]

More people need to know about this ep! I spin this shit so much. 🔥 🔥 🔥

At times they have big The Red Chord vibes

[@MySpaceDxC_Suffo_AtTheGates]

I own it on CD and FLAC! Great work and great work by the band!

[@slxxpyhollow]

Omg the Jerome demo was pressed to CD? Damn I wish I could get my hands on one!

[@droppedf100]

What is flac? Somehow I missed this band back in the day.

[@slxxpyhollow]

​@@droppedf100 FLAC is a file format for audio files, higher quality than MP3s which are way more compressed, smaller, and lower quality in comparison to FLAC or WAV files.

[@KingNekro]

Jerome was so damn good. Wish they made more music.

[@xtheyan]

same!

[@colletti914]

You're a really charismatic dude. You shouldn't apologize so much for pausing. People can just go listen if they didn't want your input. Obviously, you're doing way better than my channel. Just a little constructive input because you asked, and I would appreciate the same. Love the channel, bro! 🤘

[@xtheyan]

hey thanks man ! That's very kind, I appreciate

[@gustavodiez8966]

[@andrewharvey6113]

This is the greatest EP of all time. I haven’t listen to this in years

I totally agree, best EP ever. I've listened to it a billion times over the years and it kicks ass every time haha

[@andrewharvey6113]

gotta throw in Bermuda's EP was also top notch

My buddies played with them several times in Alabama, a long with My Children My Bride

[@coolsince4ever]

Please cover dance club massacre sometime 😊 band that paved the way for Lorna yet literally no one is bringing them up

[@slxxpyhollow]

I just went through my youtube metal playlist and scrolled to the bottom to see the stuff I added 10+ years ago and was listening to Dance Club Massacre yesterday! So funny to see you mention this

[@mikeyfishhorror3635]

Fun video! I would love to see you react to albums maybe you weren’t very familiar with. Would be super sick. Did you ever listen to Rainboots?

[@shawnjohnston9124]

The guitar part you were referring to was Layla by Eric Clapton

[@xtheyan]

yep haha thanks

[@jacobbintner5836]

Ever heard of The Myspace Archive Project? I run it. I've got a treasure trove of music that is just impossible to archive quickly. Let me know if you're ever hunting something obscure.

[@xtheyan]

Hey man ! Yes I did, what you are doing is amazing , keep going 🤘🏻🔥

[@juliendidelot]

I would love to buy the CD for my collection but it cost 120$ + shipping. Awesome stuff, long leave MySpace Deathcore!!

[@CheapSushi]

I feel like a lot of bands just don't focus anymore on groove and how to make it flow in a natural way with interesting "stop and goes" and switches but somehow it all still flows. Like you said, the hardcore roots, especially the metallic and melodic aspects are overall gone. Even a lot of the beatdown / downtempo style bands feel like they're missing something when I listen. Also, CHICAGO REPRESENT!!!!! xXx 773 x 312 xXx

[@MrJHT49]

awesome vid dude, please do Monsters Righteous Dead !

[@jarrett4154]

completely underrated demo and definitely iconic from the MySpace deathcore era. no bad song in it at all! unfortunate that they broke up tho :(

[@markroyal2521]

When are we doing FASSW??

[@AaronMorgan666]

No script is cool! Not sure if you would know when to use a script or not. I'd assume, if you do more of these than, no script for these review videos. But I'd say, for your band deep dive tupe of videos. Maybe should be scripted. Could maybe be a blend of scripted and non scripted. So far what ever you've been doing works so. Whatever you think is best! Keep up the great work! Also. The pausing to explain/give your thoughts is best. Love it when you and finn give more insight.

[@xtheyan]

Hey thanks man ! Yes I love this kind of videos in which I'm just talking to you guys with no scripts !

[@AaronMorgan666]

@@xtheyan thanks! Do what you want! You have our full attention!

[@cherryfroggo]

I miss the melodic death metal riffs in deathcore! Obviously people stopped playing them because they did eventually become overplayed riffs, but damn they were catchy and effective in the case of old bands like Jerome

[@oddyscrim8424]

Good shit

[@user-zo1kn8ob7h]

yeeeeeee

[@markroyal2521]

You're getting Oceano vibes because it's the same drummer.
