Silverstein - Retrograde (Official Music Video)

Purchase "Dead Reflection" here: RiseRecords.ln...
It all hangs in the balance, it’s all a blur. This broken neck holds the weight of the world. The devil’s finally admitted every deed. Scarecrows and hotels, a savage thrill. They come to life as your guts start to spill. And as it cuts and bleeds, a statue forms in me. I stand here frozen. I wish I could forget it. It’s so hard I’ll never get it right. Cold hearts on a colder night. The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife. They said this place would be different, it’s still the same. I’m sanded faceless you’ve taken my name. A beaten mind won’t heal, it takes you where you’ve been. Thorn in my stomach, pain in my side, you’re smashing protons as two worlds collide. With hands as cold as steel I feel you holding me. I stand here frozen. So I walked out of the valley, I let myself feel the sun on my bare back and melt the dirt off my skin. I let the breeze of the wind cleanse me. I let the elements in. It was my only fucking option. And again I was whole. And again I thought I could feel something one day. But this planet doesn’t have a sun. It only has a moon that’s lifeless. And every light that shines is a dead reflection.

[@arielmagno]

Seventeen years later and these guys still got it.

[@charlesgurley7030]

Man, they really missed their chance using that as a title! I like it

[@evanbladh2433]

I am seeing them in December. I will be sure to start the "You still got it!" chant lol.

[@alexnikki515]

20 years later and these guys still got it. 👌🏼

[@curtharakaly4620]

Just saw them again live over the weekend. Still.fucking sick. Best energy the whole concert. Shane is a legend

[@musicilya6674]

2022, you’re still right 🤘🏻🔥

[@JuanCruzFabi]

Silverstein never disapoint

[@alankrumwiede4028]

tenesajuancruzenyb never once. And if anyone tries to say different I will fight you in a field

[@shawnhunter186]

Alan Krumwiede is the field necessary for fighting? or is it an aesthetic choice? I completely agree but I'm curious.

[@alankrumwiede4028]

Shawn Hunter I just have a huge field next to my house so it's mainly convenient

[@Mariooo57]

cough cough Arrivals & Departures cough cough haha otherwise they're one of the most consistent bands out there

[@shawnhunter186]

Alan Krumwiede that makes sense.

[@beingashope]

I actually wasn't expecting this. I thought they were going to sound more pop. I am very pleased by this direction.

[@Andy_187]

Hope Liston i love the lyrics in your bio.

[@beingashope]

Andy5577 Thank you for noticing! Senses Fail and Silverstein are definitely my top two favorite bands. 😜

[@beingashope]

Jason LovesABR Doesn't that make it even better? There's a vulnerability to it that I really love.

[@beingashope]

Jason LovesABR Omg! I totally forgot that was up! LMAO! I was 16 or 17. Thank you for appreciating it. 😂

[@alternative_action]

Hope Liston They have never sold out and are more famous than ever. I have the highest respect for them because of this! Like serious every album is heavy AF

[@DanielHuscroftt]

It's so good, Silverstein will always be the best band.

[@NikNocturnal]

Oh hell yeah!

[@himawarii_gg]

It's been a while since your last video popped out of my Subscription tab, you're busy with your own record, right?

[@NikNocturnal]

Yes! Sorry my friend, I was busy with writing my new album as well as I was in the middle of moving. I just finished moving so expect more content right away! :)

Dude it’s so cool to see you commenting on a Silverstein song @nik nocturnal

[@GRAG3R]

@@ljwhaley2649 Yeah I even personally introduced him to the band, have pictures to back it up. We met Shane Told, Paul, Billy, Josh, and Paul Marc that day

[@ljwhaley2649]

G RAG3R that’s awesome bro! My singer has also met Shane and the boys I’ve heard they extremely talented and super consistent with there guitar playing. Freaking Canadians

[@MrX474]

One of, if not THE greatest band out there.

[@joaquinpineda8460]

MrX474 Silverstein, Story Of The Year, and Senses Fail are the kings of Post-Hardcore! 😄

[@brianworley4215]

I don't disagree...but I feel you have to add Ice Nine Kills....from a lyrical and sound standpoint...they are truly filthy talented.

[@joaquinpineda8460]

Brian Worley true you got a point there bro! but we're talking about early 2000's Post-Hardcore bands 😄

[@horizonrises]

S class lol

[@linklumsden665]

Mrx474 man your auto correct must be broke so I got this for you “Silverstein is THE greatest band out there”.

[@juliejealousy]

Every Silverstein album is amazing. I get that bands need to change up their style every album, but it upsets me how many of them jumped to become pop. Silverstein has always kept the same awesome style while changing small aspects of their music. They'll forever be one of my fave bands even though I'm a hypocrite because I love every panic! album 😭

[@Leavemealone-]

Noice bangs :)

[@fscorpion678]

@@xVicissitudesx that they complained about bands selling out when PATD sold out, a band she enjoys. quotations

[@patricksoler]

Consistently awesome. THIS is how you progress as a band over 17 years. Great song guys.

[@Broganshire]

Silverstein is honestly like a legacy band that should have dissipated into obscurity years ago but they're so good and able to adapt musically that they stayed true themselves and wrote music for an entire new generation.

[@MarcusMaddox91]

Even in 2020 they got it going still.

[@pussndick]

I coulda swore they wouldn’t do much after Arrivals & Departures. Year after year, they amaze me.

[@Osirisxoffline47]

its crazy to think i actually got to see them last night and again in September. o.o

[@mmmchestnut4085]

I found Silverstein in 2014 when I was a senior in high school, definitely pretty late to join the scene, but their music has helped me through so much since then. I’m so glad they kept going as long as they have. They’ve really made a lot of impact for a lot of people.

[@musicilya6674]

2022, Silverstein is still killing it 🔥🤘🏻

[@AndrewlovesBeatles14]

Silverstein is def one of those bands that gets better as they get older.

[@LoganReidMedia]

I like to think they follow the every other album formula in that every other album is awesome traditionally. WBIEF - Good but Not Great Discovering the Waterfront - Awesome Arrivals & Departures - Good but Not Great Shipwreck - Great Transitions/Rescue/Short Songs - Awful minus a couple songs TIHTWS - Amazing IAAIEIT - Had only a couple decent songs, at least my opinion So this one will probably be legendary.

[@gloomykasumi8580]

+Logan Reid Media rescue was killer in my opinion! Live to kill, dancing on my grave, savior, in memory of, etc.

[@inretrospect7463]

Logan Reid Media when broken is easily fixed will always be their best album... But to be fair it was a compilation of their best early years songs plus great new ones... It'd be like if their third album was the best of dtw and wbief plus a few new good songs... But yeah, wbief is always going to be the best, because they can never possibly top the song November in my opinion. But I have loved their new direction, Arrivals & Departures was a decent album but when judged by everything else, only blemish on their record is that album and they have said so themselves. They were in a dark place when they made A&D, with John beetz dying and what not, they almost broke up even. So as happy as a lot of shit sounds on the album it's actually a really dark album if you take every lyrical meaning and take it as the author is faking it. I've gotta say I miss Neil and josh now too right? Just those two left right? Not that I dislike the new guys but it's hard when a band member leaves just because they want to... At least if it's a death or their being a shithead you can say "well it's not like they have a choice"... I still think The Lovely Bones movie should have had Already Dead playing at some point in the movie seeing as how it was based on the book.

[@carnos420]

Definitely. One of the rare!!!

[@kenjimoore]

I'm still Discovering the Waterfront, and this band keeps being amazing.

[@robertfarmer6316]

I see what you did there…. 5 years ago…

[@JaxJordan35]

Wow, they've changed... and I love it.

[@scarecrow7012]

Jordan Gallaher Not really, it kinda sounds like it's from Rescue but ain't nothing wrong with that, their sound is great and it works. But yeah it seems to be a little heavier than typical. I love the song already

[@maxo725]

It does sound a little different...I wanna say it sounds like a lot of modern posthardcore bands, especially the guitar riff at the beginning...It's awesome though.

[@Lucols4]

Changed? In what aspect? This is as generic as it goes.

[@roboxsteven]

generic if you mean generic for Silverstein. It still has their own style to it and can be matched up to most of their stuff. They are definitely not a generic band though

[@scarecrow7012]

roboxsteven exactly, it's generic for Silverstein but their sound works. If it's Generic then they've pretty much made the Generic for the genre since they've been around for the past 17 years

[@lancevance1321]

Holy fuck, they've come a long way since Smile in your sleep. Wasn't expecting this

[@alexgaribay7794]

And Silverstein comes out swinging hard as fuck

[@ericcampbell2360]

The breakdown was nostalgic and awesome lyrically!

[@sammballii2418]

Holy shit that break is hardcore....

[@tonymstewart31]

I can't stop listening to it. It's insane

[@fakepaleva]

i still love this group, but... am i the only one, who think the break is ordinary ... non-outstanding (not in Sstein's discography; at all)? i will not start to cry 'bout good-old-stuff albums. But i see that the song is... non-surprising (yep, it's still "Sstein mark, still nice quality) But i like all of U hoping that album will be amazing!

[@tonymstewart31]

I'm only trusting what they said from their live feed video. No acoustic songs and the most heavy/personal album that they've ever done. It's gonna take a really good album to beat out A Shipwreck in the Sand for me. There isn't a bad song on that album.

[@karelpepels3102]

Anyone who also thinks this is about to be Silverstein's darkest record?

[@jolka77]

Karel Pepels is there another album coming out? Release date?? Damn that's exciting!

[@misery616kyg9]

I love it. Silverstein has never dissapinted. Idc how "generic" this sounds. Those lyrics and the chores is gold.

[@alanminch5955]

Life9Rolls2On I actually think this is some of Shane's best lyrics. You can really feel the hurt and "angst" in it. Although iaaieit was a very personal record, this hits home more to me

[@misery616kyg9]

Silverstein has gotten me through life. So I know what you mean by hits home.

Still to this day not a single silverstein song i dislike! everything they put out is gold! pre-ordered instantly

[@OfTheOldWorldband]

Not crazy about the amount of reverb on the chorus. Beyond that, I'm enjoying this.

[@JTMcLoud]

They're definitely growing from the emo days of their music, but they never disappoint! Every song seems to get better and better! Been a fan for over ten years, my all time favorite band! Even though they're growing they'll forever be the Original emo👌🏼

this one's a grower for me, like milestone was.. i liked a midwestern state of emergency from the beginning, the same with ghost i didn't like milestone that much when i first heard it, now it's one of my favorites.. still these both singles are amazing and if the rest of the album is gonna be like that I'll be fucking happy

[@sugi_YT]

never properly listened to Silverstein before but this shit goes in HARD!

[@bellaisdead9442]

It's a different sound obviously but they never dissapoint. Through all the years you can count on them to make some killer records

[@RickySmart2001]

so im finally giving this album a change and its pretty dope I was just kinda not really excited for it bc imo this wasnt the best single. but im really enjoying myself now that im listening to the rest of the album. :D

Holy FAck, still tingling, Silverstein will always strive to keep that NRG up!

not trying to hate because I absolutely love this song and band. this is my favorite track I've heard in such a long time but that chorus sounds oddly familiar. any ideas?

[@eaglegamerr4582]

how i feel about math.....

[@2QuicKris]

hahafckyeah Buckley

[@Oh_its_Mike]

This sound isnt silverstein to me. This sounds like they're trying to keep up with the current trendy sound of slightly heavy but not-quite metalcore type bands. Silverstein has always been heavy in their own unique way (see: TIHTWS / IAAIEIT) and have used various drop tunings but the mix on this song is just boring to me. None of these singles impress me. Ill be looking forward to the album in hopes it gets better.

Silverstein is never not good. Lol

[@morgawr2]

That chorus gives me chills every time.

[@iIn54nity]

If i'm to be honest... These guys have been playing music in the comfort zone for way too long. Everything sounds too similar. It still sounds like they're writing songs for A Shipwreck In The Sand all these years later. They need to try and break the mold and do something new. I won't be preordering, i'm waiting for the full album to decide whether i'm gonna buy this or not. And i've been a pretty hardcore fan since their debut album on Victory.

[@illuminatiCorgi]

Dayum they've changed since 2005. Where do I throw my money?

[@dwcjr327]

Such a great example of band that stayed with thier sound while still evolving and never sold out. Shane easily has a voice to sell out too, but they've stuck to a formula that works and old fans stuck around.

[@Likwidphase2]

This song is the shit!!

[@Nuaex]

prefer linkin park new album way better heavy rock than this, this is girly rock

[@RavensYankeesfan]

Sick song! The vocals remind me of Senses Fail. That chorus is so damn catchy. Just purchased the song off of iTunes.

[@kirkomeara9900]

Common boys, mix things up! We have so much material from you that sounds exactly like this. Be bold, try something new, then come back to your sound if it doesn't work out! Your true fans will be loyal enough to appreciate the fact that you stepped out of your comfort zone.

[@MrCrepers86]

Did he actually way the f word... That is something Silverstein very seldom does... But man this band, nope never disappoints me... And I am really digging everything I have heard on this record so far

[@amelievern1674]

How do I put this? Silverstein experiments on foreign territory but lives the same old routine. This means they adapt and are able to perfect their style in different situations without losing flair. They're shapeshifting their craft & throwing themselves to the edge of their perimeter. No, wait. They're expanding it. They sound so fresh but so familiar. I guess I have no choice but to always love them. I can also already hear the acoustic version. So much adoration I have for this band.

[@Enny_Gima]

I know that bands change and grow over time, and I respect them for keeping at it, and I wish more power to them and everyone who likes Silverstein. However, this new stuff isn't for me anymore. Good luck Shane and Co, it's been a good time.

[@Globeskater170]

Really happy to see them still producing. Been listening to them since "When broken is Easily fixed" if i remember lol? Definitely like the song, However I don't like the video at all
