Protest The Hero - "Heretics and Killers" [Official Video]

[@raviolimaster]

imagine putting on numerous different costumes, makeup, sets, just for 240p... 2006 was an amazing time to be a kid in highschool tho... man this song/album brings back the memories!

[@Hawk_Man_Tube]

The tape copy's high quality. Much music has one in a basement somewhere.

[@GreyGreyGrey59]

We were in gradesxhool 😂

[@ГеральтизРивии-ь6п]

Nhl06 ost

[@sammer28]

No kidding. I think the only video on my channel is a grainy old GWAR video from back in 06. The year I dropped out to apprentice in a tattoo shop

[@seth691]

For those who don't know, this song is part of a concept album about a girl named Kezia who is to be executed by a totalitarian rule, every song is a point of view from ppl involved such as the prison gaurd, the executioner, Kezia and this song is the view from the priest who questions his faith over the whole situation.

[@blastfiendsunite420]

Wow

[@GreyGreyGrey59]

yes, Kezia

[@kilgoretrout8896]

First time hearing this in years and it gave me goosebumps.

[@Widow-Cicada]

Absolutely

[@SallionMang]

Super fire. Haven't heard it in around a decade and it still holds up aside from modern mixing standards. Insane arrangement.

[@cmoura23]

Its open goes so damn hard

[@EUC_DeathRay]

Still doing understand how a band like this doesn’t blow up.

[@gbshaw107]

First time hearing this in years 23’

[@Tyloriousify]

I listened to this song every day in college when it came out, and it still surprises me to this day. It's so good!

[@NickKingakaDJOneHit]

Protest the Hero is too unique and amazing to be in any genre!!!!

[@emersondevine1791]

They called me the man with the blood of Christ honesty But tonight I drink with heathens and the finest of our blasphemies In wine there's truth but in silence there's surrender A screaming for the silence in stunned suspicious terror Built a temple in my life and used God to seal the pillars After twenty years of fighting young heretics and killers I watch my temple fall to pieces at the first signs of oncoming weather Fell to my knees just like Jesus in the cave, knew I would die But my lips could only; I am not your son, so why have you forsaken me? There's a hole in my heart but it just makes me unholy Crucified that night and walked away with alter-egos Like the prison priest who preached his dead and buried gospel While my faith is in ruins my duty breathes strong I'm a parrot in a cage saying prayers to belong to a textbook Of my crying, lying, dying history; a time so full of life that I was anything but me

[@cjreber9217]

Commenting for 2 reasons. 1. This is gold 2. old ass feed NEEDS LIFE!!!

[@TheSmooshster]

One of the most bad ass intros I have ever heard. Very creative breakdown, especially with the bass boom at 0:25

[@cmoura23]

!!!!!! Its open is so boss!

[@intrnlprym84evr]

end of this song = one of the greatest riffs ever!

[@dogtorman]

Rody's got fucking pipes. This guy is one of my favourite vocalists. wide clean rage and a clear scream. it's hard to find a vocalist who does both well these days.

[@HiveDes]

between the buried and me the human abstract he is legend

[@RyanTehPyro]

To this day one of the coolest music videos I've ever seen.

[@dolphanatic23]

Fun fact: The actual members of Protest The Hero were busy on tour and Vagrant needed a video so they dressed some random dudes up like Flying Monkeys and they made this.

[@thefrankiepalmeri]

That's wild.

[@space-gypsy]

Its a fact.

[@diy_mushroomguy]

😲 I never knew this!! Lol that's awesome!

[@SteadyMcShredson]

"With my faith in ruins my duty still breathes strong I'm a parrot in a cage just singing prayers to belong" genius

[@CuteFifthWall]

I definitely recommend this album (Kezia) to anyone that likes this song. The album is out of this world amazing. Their second studio album (Fortress) is great too, but it's a little more refined.

[@CroatianMB]

PTH IS THE BEST!!!! saw them in concert was the craziest thing ever!!! Rodey is my idol!!!

[@dimasadityakurniawan7800]

The Outro was insane!!

[@DruNature]

best production values on guitar and drums for me, this is my holy grail!!

[@DaltonGoesSlow]

really need some HQ versions of these

[@alabmourdinson2131]

Confirmed that this song still destroys in 2024

[@Germanatior]

The video kicks soooooo much ass!!!!!!!! This is got to be my fav song of all time,i will never get sick of this song.=)

[@mattthetrucker5585]

Remembered this song after 10 years or so. Still great

[@stoshbrodus21479]

I remember seeing this video when the Kezia album came out … I was 50% scared cuz I hated the witch and those flyin monkeys when I was young and 50% into the type of sound they had.. the hardcore/metal kid in me was like fuux yeah but the young happy normal child in me wasn’t liking the memories this video brought back lololol

[@Shizzy77]

Definately dude... His unique, passion filled vocals, combined with their Mathcore guitar and drums make amazing music.

[@GhettoMazzo]

the breakdown at the end is so fucking sick

[@NickKingakaDJOneHit]

This song really got me into metal,its so damn amazing

[@BledSox64]

These guys are amazing!!

[@Andumas]

This is the most fantastic music video I have ever seen. I don't think I've ever laughed harder. The song is amazing itself.

[@DiscoFinalBoss]

interesting video........nice song......the instrumentals are kickass as usual

[@KyleBrianAbbott]

best comments seen allllll day!!! i love all 3 of these bands!

[@owned7092]

i can tell you exactly what mathcore is... its a metal style where the time signature changes constantly. if your a musician you know what im talking about

[@borntobe44]

PTH is the best band ever, because they are so well rounded. They can do any genre like progressive metal, sceamo, hard core, math core, and dare I say it... punk.

[@michaelfarrer3044]

18 years ago.. Jesus I can remember the obsession I had over this album and the love I had for this band. I was able to see them live in small little venues and also chilling under a bridge with Moe and Arif. 😂

[@groovefiend25]

i cant get over how fucking amazing these instrumentals are

[@paulpenney7996]

One of my dudes just recommended this to me said I'd like it and yep. Really cool surprising song

[@gamingwithbrandon6617]

Still listening in 2021! Edit: 2022

[@aldousband0000000000]

hands down most awesome video ever!

[@Ilxfauno]

These guys are AMAZING!

[@lastsurvivingemothefox9797]

Someone should make a Word Bearers animation to this. Sound marines for the solo 🤣

[@dylanmounsey7515]

Oh wow they brought the vid back. Tight tight stuff man

[@Dragonslayer6001]

THIS song is SICK!

[@jordannijjar5414]

neeed HD!

[@jps2777]

freaking sick video. loved it

[@borntobe44]

great song

[@lukerr87]

This song is amazing and really catchy =D

[@Protestfan]

totally awesome

[@robster71cr]

fair play man! u chose an awsome song to learn!

[@rassiisonia]

ditto. i wasnt much into metal either but all it took was turn soonest to the sea and im hooked. im not an expert about music techniques or terms and those fancy acronyms..but one thing i do know for sure is pth has lots of difficulties in their songs and i thoroughly ENJOY them. plus theyre far from shabby-looking..ha

[@wlves6733]

what a classic

[@wazaman0021]

AWESOME SONG!!

[@LuttiApce]

Awesome band!

[@Metal7959]

love this song

[@niniodecarbon]

exelente banda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@shwabity]

5 other songs with calm acoustic parts, bass tapping, screaming, time signature changes, and slapping and popping? I dont think he will be able to :D PTH owns.

[@blrc]

first song every by them and was hooked

[@webbccast]

I love these songs, but I hate that they're always posted at such a low bitrate. Post some HD versions Vagrant!!!

[@Nucksen]

One of the best Videos I've ever seen

[@jast113]

this video kills!!! canadians make ill music . boysnightout,comeback kid , PTH need i say more. always feel welcome in montreal rue st. cathrine!!

[@borntobe44]

best progressive/technical metal band out there.

[@PolydamasReborn]

Greatest Band ever. They inspired me to learn the guitar and start a band. I didn't even like music prior to PTH. What other bands are like protest the hero? (dreamtheater?)

[@jackfalcon2012]

1:10 is my favourite part of any PTH song honestly. so fucking good

[@ButteredSconesNT]

i love how people think that after dissing someone they can end it with "god bless you" and think that they won't get an angry reply

[@ButteredSconesNT]

@@staydoogan I don't know if you're the guy who started the collapse of the comments over a decade ago or not since it's all wiped, but same to you, man. Craziest guy on KZbin to start comment beef with me was a flat earther with 200+ hours of video on his channel looking at the horizon and preaching from his office.

[@Rafaermac]

my best video ever still in 2023

[@emmarox666]

awesome song awesome video

[@cadben]

You gotta remember though that they still are young and still like to have a good time!(: Even if that does mean they make fun of their music, doesn't mean they dont take music seriously! I think they're amazing and nothing'll change my mind about that!:P

[@iceXeci]

man any song by protest the hero would KICK ASS on guitar hero or rockband it would be lots of fun

[@SomethingLame]

I like the part where it goes boodeleedleleedlewooboodeleedleleedlewoo

[@DAZULOUSOFFICIAL]

I swear this video keeps disappearing from YT ha ha ha.Saw these many, many years ago supporting Every Time I Die I think, good times man.Badass band!

[@chaos1665]

Ok I’m a heathen and my gods would bring praise on him and let him live a great life and many gods would praise him

[@protestthehero200]

best band by far

[@Marcus-rg7bg]

Somewhere over the rainbow. Best song ever.

[@koompi]

lmao when they start flying during their sweeps killed me

[@vickiek]

protest the hero= life

[@BennyBooIsNotAFoo]

best video and a sweet song

[@contactlightstudios]

LMFAO! HAHAH now that you mention it....it kinda does LOL fuckin love that arpeggio =D

[@bradyward2177]

That RIFF😫😫😫

[@locomexican125]

these guys r amazing cant wait to go see them at the warped tour on friday

[@tpags7398]

Wow an ancient scene kid comment...... I am in awe

[@locomexican125]

T Pags i wasn’t even a scene kid but man this makes me feel old. Is this how some of us talked? Fuck man

[@tpags7398]

Eric Pineda You could forgive me for seeing warped tour 07 and thinking “Scene Kid” lol I was just born then so I guess it’s great that a new generation of scene kids will be coming in 2020!

[@SuperUltra]

Also try to check out Dillinger Escape Plan, but they're pretty noisy if you prefer just melodic stuff, although Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants is pretty okay if you ask me.

[@seanandahalf]

Does anyone know what guitar Tim uses? I'm pretty sure it's an ESP but I'm not sure

[@squidviciousmma]

This song still hits in 2024

[@crsoccerstar26]

it doesn't really change time signature that much... It just changes feel

[@guitarone110]

haha i never noticed this before...when tim types in the price in the register.. he types in PI lol

[@angelodaBarbarian]

DUDE, Turn soonest is my favourite fucking song by them, that song is like magic man, the only one that made me favor protest the hero

[@MOESEWICHt1]

haha at the end : somewhere over the rainbow :) great band.

[@PoeticJustice05]

I have to agree with SilenceSoSudden. It's not that they change the tempo. If you listen with a critical ear, you hear the time signature changes, they alternate between adding and taking away a beat for every measure.

[@johanthepirate]

WTF did I do? You quote my comment out of context and then call me an idiot, and I get this. In order to keep this comment relevant, this is a great song by a great band.

[@guitarserenadior9399]

Hello Teenage Me!

[@thegodphreaker]

I'll always be Kezia!

[@SadButTruexx]

hahaha its so random its the best thing I ever seen. :p If PTH was shown in history class, I would be there. :p

[@BoRhap1977]

There 's a little bit of Watchtower in this song,even though the vocal lines of Protest The Hero are so much better.They're really great,one of the best bands of the moment.

[@MattsBass]

this vid just made me love pth 857497654 times more

[@itslancefuka]

did anyone notice the number the monkey typed into the cash register near the beginning was pi? ahah

[@adamtorres5010]

Anyone know where I can find that midi song of over the rainbow at the end of the video?

[@higler.]

Talk to Luke Hoskin. And he prob can't help ya lol

[@imtallhaha]

that video is the bomb

[@Rhinogasm]

protest the hero is one of the best bands Ive ever seen live. you people need to stop being all elitist and accept that there is a new generation out there putting there own spin on what is death\thrash metal.

[@boxlove]

that was epic

[@MontgomeryMiller]

These guys sound a lot like Brothers Grimm. They rock.

[@conkerlive101]

COMING 2 THUNDERBAY WOOOO! :D

[@Marcus-rg7bg]

All we do is talk about home. And try to build this place to imitate home with castles and statues and stuff. We must truly miss it.

[@jaydeebee923]
