Edgar Allen Poe on drums just really seals the deal for me. This band rules.

[@jfiedler8369]

That looks like the drummer of Yautja (among other bands). Definitely a great drummer to watch play. So good.

[@bjscarberry2927]

@@jfiedler8369 haha it is the drummer from Yautja. They're from Nashville, where I'm from. They're definitely hometown heroes!

[@jfiedler8369]

I just did some looking up online and it turns out Tyler is the drummer for Thou as of this year as well as being in Yautja. So that is pretty sweet.

[@YodaZemunski]

An absolute Detrimentalist

[@edguwi]

BJ Scarberry he’s “Tyler Coburn” Drummer from Yautja.

[@pipedreamermetal]

The level of great music they're consistently producing is just wild.

[@BarclayOlson]

the Lingua Ignota and The Body cameos were a nice touch

The harmony is actually quite gentle and sincere despite tough appearance, dig it.

Facts 😊 I need more balls to the walls 😂😂😂

[@femkilmer2909]

Honestly, this might be one of my favorite Thou songs as of recent and definitely one of my favorite music videos period.

[@killadelphiaHC]

this video is extra hilarious cause usually these guys look like they just got done their shift at the local bait and tackle shop or a landscaping job.

[@dackjaniels4205]

Just watched a live video of them and u are so right

[@jonahstocks322]

Or hollisters at canal place!

[@kdbrown777]

Most of the band members are actually the audience members in white.

[@whitneywright8501]

Thruths. Always amazing though.

[@nixadventures3938]

Hadn't finished the song before i pre-ordered. I lack the vocabulary to properly describe how much i love THOU. Keep at it! Hail.

[@HeimirTomm]

I love THOU too. :-)

[@maleman6029]

Vocals so epic and dark!! This is the pinacle of vocals for me!!

2018- Summer of Thou

[@stevenknab4709]

2024 Umbilical just gave us a new Summer of Thou

[@robertffirman5961]

This is so damn good. I mean the tones, the melody holy shit...

[@RiskyIOM]

The more I watch this the better it gets. As someone who listens to music like this but doesn't conform to how people in the scene should look, I really appreciate this video and it's message!

[@thastump]

There is no dress code, no way you're "supposed to look". If people give you shit for how you look or dress, because they think it doesn't "fit the scene" they are worthless posers.

[@North0house]

Same here. I'm a clean cut kid who works as an electrician in a rural town, and I was raised Christian. Everyone around here listens to country pop, but then I'll be blasting the stuff I want to listen to on my stereo while I'm working in a panel room or bending conduit and people are always really confused and surprised. It's nice to see a recognition that music genres don't necessarily have a face that every fan must adhere to.

[@RiskyIOM]

Based on the video and the lyrics it's clearly a critique of scenesters who expect everyone to look and think the same, whilst judging anyone outside their own.

[@calesce]

99aadsag99 yep and the “outsiders” the video cuts to are the actual Thou band members

[@RiskyIOM]

@@calesce Yes, that is correct.

[@sumguy8134]

I actually had to stop listening to this band recently to preserve my love for their sound and not overdo it. Haven't heard an aesthetic I bonded with so much in years.

[@tinflowers]

Heard that.

[@buttercupbarbs4283]

they're my most listened to band and I will never get sick of their sound

[@urschei1127]

These guys deserve millions of views

[@hedgeearthridge6807]

I learned about this band after discovering "The Unspeakable Oath". It took some getting used to, but I absolutely LOVE THIS BAND! Everything they touch turns to gold. Massively underrated and underappreciated!

[@SUPREMEdanny]

Haven't heard thou since Tyrant... holy smokes love this sound! Thank you youtube for the recommendation

[@acidfather]

This band is so underrated. They're fucking geniuses.

[@dalegriffin6768]

I wouldn't say genius, but they are different, and I always like different.. I like the Soundgarden cover song "4th of July"

[@montehamer]

This is absolutely incredible. My favorite release of theirs and I’ve listened to most of em lol. They just keep getting better and better. All hail Thou!

Silence any insight Nuance ground into dust Suppressive personalities Mechanicals to the fore As the short sighted ne'er do wells proselytize In various degrees of mumbles and shouts We laugh! At the keening wail; We stare! Down the shrieking eye As they strip off their clothing and run bare bones through the streets As they waste away in hedonistic glut Haunting fractured reality, dwellers of delusion Crooning the primacy of their singular perspective Humming the hymn of knives, the veneration of disdain Corrosive idolatry Humming the hymn of knives, the veneration of disdain Haunting fractured reality, dwellers of delusion Crooning the primacy of their singular perspective Enshrouded glacial deformity, that blighted obscenity Scratching out the lines, we never thought you’d cross Begging for the illusion, pining for fabrication, for a pallid shadow Behind the mask, another mask Behind the mask, another mask Behind the mask, another mask

@@brucenatelee One of the ladies handing out flyers at the beginning is Kristin Hayter, otherwise known as Lingua Ignota. She's fantastic - check her music out. Very raw.

[@sombrejungle982]

Three wonderfully diverse EPs, a cracking album and this brilliantly clever video - 2018 must surely go down as the year of Thou.

[@majorkopyto1216]

One of the most interesting bands. They deserve more attention. Amazing stuff!

[@bestguywhotellsitlikeitis]

Like it or not, this is the most important band of the last two decades.

[@ruairimusic2747]

lmao The body and thou are my favourite bands, love the energy, love the emotion.

[@kylehill9981]

God this is such a cool interesting song... and the guitar & vocals at the end are so pretty to like top everything off 10/10 song

[@hannahevans538]

Enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing. This took me back to a show that I went to about 15 years ago when I heard the band Zao. You must have similar musical influences. I appreciate and identify with your subject matter much more though.

[@maxheilman5314]

Can confirm at least two members of Zao are Thou fans... and Iron Monkey too. You can tell, too.

[@PanosSomethingDoesNotExist]

Ahh Zao... This is how metalcore is supposed to be done.

[@Chopstick2U]

Zao has a very similar blackened vocal style, and this particular video does have a Liberate te ex Inferis visual vibe, but I think the bands' tones and styles belong to completely different metal subgenres.

[@melvinfz0301]

Zao rules :D

[@natcurry960]

Thou shall not disappoint. This video is genius

[@enthaltbezahltewerbung.9360]

I love them so much!

[@brucenatelee]

[7:08] You're welcome! Anyways, I like how this leans more towards doom than hardcore, as a lot of sludge would confuse me as to how it's "a subgenre of doom." Learned it can lean on either side.

[@bjquebedeaux3597]

Lmfao

[@tiburon736]

Well... That was amazing!

[@patrisco8448]

No, YOU rule

[@therelief9129]

What a nice song

[@PeterSteeleFan]

Thou is running wild.

[@Polyinstrumentalism]

4 years should be long enough for spoilers haha. In this video, Thou are the empty-gazed people in the crowd. The "band" is playing their instruments; but it isn't them. The two guys in the opening scene are Chip and Lee from The Body.

[@deafleopard6201]

I wonder how many people show up at a Thou show now and are disappointed when the band walks on stage?

[@jonathanmichielsen952]

ahah, none because they slay on stage

[@RiskyIOM]

I'm thinking that's kind of part of the video idea to be fair. The normal looking guys are actually behind the fucking awesome music.

[@deafleopard6201]

99aadsag99 Yes.

[@RedSunHorizon]

99aadsag99 I've honestly watched this video a few times now trying to kind of figure that out. Who's playing vs who's wearing white standing with blank faces. "Behind the mask, another mask" I think it's a pretty deep video, and again it keeps bringing me back. Plus the song absolutely slays.

[@gulinotm]

None, Thou decided to play on the floor and they cant see anyway lol
