ROSE FUNERAL - Myspace Deathcore OGs

[@existenceispunishment]

My FAVORITE deathcore band from the OG era. The Resting Sonata is a masterpiece.

[@EvilDeathFx]

AGREEED

[@srennnnnn]

man their breakdowns are so brtl . i think the key is that they were going for a more mid tempo type of stuff. its just so much heavier.

[@Destinnotdustin2.0]

Just to clarify some of the things in the beginning Ray Hughes sang on the very first demo in the summer of 2005 when we started I played bass my brother Drey Armstrong played guitar with Tony Younce on guitar and Ryan played the drums. Ray left shortly after to join the marines, we got Craig Beanio to play bass and I took over vocals for Crucify Kill Rot. And I definitly wouldn’t say Ryan carried the band and wrote all the songs, I wrote all the lyrics and song titles for CKR and my brother did most of the riffs for under a godless sky and buried amongst flames,it was a collective effort for the most part ryan was good at the melodic side of it and my brother was more of the heavy thrash death metal style as was Tony and that had a lot to do with how our sound came about because we all loved hardcore and death metal before we started we had the idea of something like hatebreed mixed with cannibal corpse. Our local shows didn’t seemed to get filmed much because I think flip razor phones and shit like that were out at the time and didn’t have the best quality hahaha but yea we played with some awesome bands like the black dahlia murder, skeletonwitch, dead to fall, unearth,animosity, beneath the massacre, emmure, as blood runs black. We did a couple tours the last big one we did really put us in a hole financially because we sold out all our merch so fast and SOAR records was suppose to send us shirts and albums they did for CKR and we never got one thing from them they made all the money and fucked us pretty much. We got back from tour and I had to pay rent and shit and go back to work so did some of the other guys and Ryan wanted to go back out on tour in another month and me and the other guys wanted to start to write a new album we already had the intro for possessed to kill recorded that was the last thing I did on vocals. But Ryan wanted to tour and keep played the same ten songs we had been playing for almost 3 years and one day I got on MySpace and it said Rose Funeral looking for all new members and I was like well ok I guess that’s it and he said shit like we weren’t serious or we weren’t good enough that he had to re re record my brothers guitar which never happened. The reality was Ryan didn’t want to be behind the drum kit anymore he actually wanted to kick our bass player out and just be 3 guitars and I was like no I love beano and that ain’t happening hahaha. But yea he sang then Timmy sang and they took all the credit for all my lyrics and song titles which still get put on merch today that I’ve been told which is kinda funny but oh well that’s how it goes in the music business! Haha hopefully that helps clear some things up on the original rose funeral for everyone! -Destin-

[@anywhere_but_here]

i must've covered the songs on CKR 1000's of times by now, you were a huge inspiration for me to become a vocalist. I also remember sending a message on facebook saying how much i loved the album, but im pretty sure i sent it to some other random dude that had your same name lol

[@Destinnotdustin2.0]

Hahaha that’s awesome thanks dude!

[@gorzenstein]

well this was all very disappointing to read. hope you're doing well dude!

[@joevlam1055]

You gave my edgy teen the angst it needed ❤

[@lostboyfeelsnothing4839]

CATALEPSY is another band who wasnt around very long, but were on the same wavelength as rose funeral. Anti religious deathcore was a whole wave along w christian deathcore, the god free shirts were in full effect 😂

[@AvalancheReviews]

The last show, I played with King Conquer had these guys on it.

[@hayzeeshark88]

Rose funeral As blood runs black All shall perish Oceano I declare war Despised icon Here comes the kraken The list goes on... Mannnnn Myspace deathcore was so f***** good eh? The resting sonata album is so iconic 👌

[@GaryEckhoff]

All fantastic. As Blood Runs Black was a favorite of mine. As well as Beneath The Massacre, n also, as you mentioned The Kraken - The Acacia Strain was another fav. All still great ass music!

[@TheOneTruePatriot]

It reminds me of how people look back fondly at old Brutal Death Metal or like a particular wave of hardcore. Myspace Deathcore has become it's own nostalgic and sacred category, and I love that. I love that there's another branch of Deathcore now where they strictly play like these bands you listed. It's refreshing if you're not as hype on the newer, more overproduced stuff

[@GaryEckhoff]

@@TheOneTruePatriot agreed! ^^

[@TimmyTurner421]

@@TheOneTruePatriot agree 100% I love the diversity. Happy the OGs are returning. I don't know man there's something special about the raw aggression and sometimes more simplistic sound of myspace era deathcore compared to the new overproduced deathcore

[@MatthewsTrueShow]

To think, here come the kraken have released new stuff and have completey changed genres to soft rock

[@crnocommentary]

I still have my rose funeral hoodie with the picture of jesus dead on the cross and in big letters HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?

[@MySpaceDxC_Suffo_AtTheGates]

Also Ryan was the drummer on the Buried Beneath The Blood compilation.

[@diemariodie4343]

Crucify Kill Rot and Rose Funeral were my introduction to deathcore, thank you for making this video!!

[@thallsinestro7537]

I met Ryan back in 2012 when he was filling in for vocals for the band King Conquer. That’s also where I first saw the band Betrayal, who’s bassist is now famous rapper Shakewell

[@KyleCameraAllDay1]

Actually played with them back in the day I got to open for them in 2014/15 I want to say

[@LilComedown]

I didn't know shakewell used to be in a metal band 😁

[@goingthroughthemotions]

Yoooooo LFG you added footage of the band when I was playing guitar for these dudes. how sick is that to see! Good times, also the insanely sick highs in that live footage of CKR is non other than my dude Bill Williams (Thy Devourer). That show was in New Orleans, cheers dude!

[@xtheyan]

Hey that’s so cool ! Thanks for sharing 🤘🏻🩷🔥

[@Whyzee12]

Your “remember these guys?” Breakdown is consistently my favorite breakdown from the band lol

[@xtheyan]

😤🤘🏻🔥

[@stevenwhitehead426]

THE RESTING SONATA is by far one of the best deathcore albums of all time. They never got the credit they deserved.

[@TYLERtheMAGGOT1]

Crucify Kill Rot is such a great album by them, I even like the remake in 2021. These guys were amazing. Loved the video

[@xtheyan]

😤🤘🏻🩷🔥

[@gregorkorompay3455]

'bout time you mentioning these legends :-) Rose Funeral got me into deathcore in late '08 with the song Under A Godless Sky,... i actually was inspired to become a vocalist myself, so i have done hundreds of practice covers on pretty much all of their songs... they were my favorite with Whitechapel in my teen days... i to this day have somewhere on my HDD a folder named Rose Funeral including all their live photos, lyrics, artwork, demos and stuff.. really a band that always will have a special place in my heart, through them i got into hundreds and hundreds more deathcore bands... btw.. you forgot to mention they had other vocalist during 2010 called Casper he did a songs with them called Mothers Of Abomination.... ps, im wondering if you will be doing In Dying Arms soon,, or As Blood Runs Black maybe?? :)

[@xtheyan]

Thanks for the infos and yes those bands are on my list ! 🤘🏻🔥

[@GaryEckhoff]

Great choices. Also favorites of mine. As soon as I saw "Dying" in your post I immediately thought of As I Lay Dying lol. I've got 2 diff externals both backing up my music library. They're way more than an external to me-they're like solid gold. Also like a backup of my whole life between ages like 13-27 lol. Anyways, Stay Rockin! \,,/

[@Muffinpurplegurk]

In Dying Arms has been half my life. Super underrated.

[@gregorkorompay3455]

@@GaryEckhoff i also have 2 HDDs plus 2 laptops.. the older laptop got formated during the windows crash.. lost shitload of music.. now im re-downloading it.. can you recommend some websites, blogs where you get obscure releases??

[@salinaember9527]

saw them live in whitter back in the day.. if anyone was there, you know how violent it was. such a small and cluttered venue with brutal crowdkilling and moshing. one of my most memorable shows since i loved them so much.

[@michaeldavids7914]

pleasantly surprised by this one, you’re absolutely killing these videos!

[@xtheyan]

Thank you 🤘🏻🔥🩷

[@sommelierofstench]

lmaoooo i love that timmy is back video. dude walking around like a gremlin

[@Kitstoe]

The video at 14:40 or so isn’t Timmy. It’s a guy named Casper or something I think. Different vox tho. I played a show with them at this point in their career. Dusty was still drummer but Timmy wasn’t vocalist.

[@defect7862]

I have played with a bunch of these bands you've featured and its been hella nostalgic. Molotov Solution would make a cool video too!

[@lou_gubrious]

these guys are the first band that i think of when i hear "myspace deathcore", absolute legends

[@CheapSushi]

dunno if it's the old school audio compression of videos or something about the production before but I don't know how to explain it but the chugging riffs have such an iconic fat thicc sound without it being too clean or crisp

[@kylerferrill8252]

Are you talking about the Buried Beneath the Blood demo? My best guess is quad tracked guitars, and the master bus compressor erring on the side of too much rather than being shy. Tyrant ep by Bermuda has a really similar vibe. I swear you can even hear a pumping effect from the bus compressor on the cymbals for that ep. Mixing tutorials always say to be conservative with bus compression, but like all things in music context should decide.

[@taloncdrums6761]

I’m so glad you did RF, they’ve been my favorite deathcore band since high school, and I FINALLY got to see them a couple months ago it was amazing

[@salinaember9527]

forgot to mention, their album crucify.kill.rot is a parody title mocking nailed.dead.risen. by christian deathcore band impending doom. would you do a video about them? their first two albums are deathcore classics imo. plus their new ep is one of the heaviest things ive ever heard.

[@dingdingdong209]

Ha, wow. That clip that you used for FTFD - that’s me, dead center to the left. On my right was my friend Tyler, the vocalist for a band called Adaliah. It’s cool to see that you’ve also used footage of bands at the Skate Park of Tampa, the venue in that video. I was also at that Whitechapel show during the Somatic Defilement days. The place was absolutely packed. Anyway, I love the content! The MySpace era was truly special.

[@xtheyan]

That’s awesome man !! And thanks I’m glad you enjoyed 🤘🏻🔥

[@bigoldavedude]

I’ve been involved in the band since the beginning as a former member/consultant/producer/engineer. This was really well put together! You got your facts mostly correct, but feel free to hit me up and I can fill in any blanks for you or clarify anything, but 👏👏

[@xtheyan]

Hey thank you so much ! I appreciate 🤘🏻🔥🩷

[@pollyanna147]

Probably know you, but I remember so much disorganisation as far as submitting to tours with the member changes, Seige who fucked my band over as well with the promise of the distribution in the states (ferret thing), the managers and agents coming and going at the time, etc

[@chiefluke210]

I found them after some promotion for their new song Gravewitch and didn’t know much else about them but I’ve been obsessed since then.

[@xXxGR33NDR3AMSxXx]

[@DiMiTri-ys7ei]

Rose Funeral are the goats of Myspace deathcore and death core period ❤

[@tyler_vokillz8284]

Sometime during their tour after Gates of Punishment I saw them live and they had no drummer. They said he bailed on them mid tour so they used the drum track from the album and it was still a really sick performance.

Yop, this band dude... i have nothing but love for them

[@KingNekro]

An old school band that doesn't get enough love from the deathcore community is Vehemence from Phoenix AZ, who formed in 1997 and was signed to Metal Blade records in the early 2000's. As a deathcore historian of sorts, you NEED to go down the rabbit hole and check them out if you never heard them. You may be surprised. Vehemence is so interesting. They aren't "core", they're actually a blend of brutal and melodic death metal, yet I believe their name deserves to be brought up in conversations about deathcore's influences. They do sparingly utilize hardcore elements from time to time, including a few chugging/slamming breakdowns... but that's not how they influenced deathcore, it's their ability to make melodies sound way more brutal than your average melodic death bands at the time. They were every bit as heavy and brutal as they were Melodic. And deathcore bands took note. Being arguably the biggest extreme metal band in Arizona at the time, not only were they big influences on Knights Of The Abyss and early Job For A Cowboy who each played local shows that Vehemence headlined., but I can also hear the influence they had on the melo-death scene including The Black Dahlia Murder(which helped influence so many deathcore bands). So many of their riffs that mix brutality with melody strongly resemble the riff style that was used by many early deathcore bands that heavily utilized melodic undertones. You can hear similarities in bands like Conducting From The Grave, Rose Funeral, Through The Eyes Of The Dead, All Shall Perish, etc. Some of the songs that I feel showcase the influence well are By Your Bedside, Darkness Is Comfort, Christ I Fucking Hate You, I Must Not Live, Spirit Of The Soldier, Lusting For Affection, We Are All Dying, Her Beautiful Eyes, etc. Shit on their 2000 album "The Thoughts From Which I Hide" they were even using samples, keyboards, and pig squeals before they were cool. The production was rough, but that album probably has the most breakdowns, slams, and hardcore/grindcore elements in general out of all of their albums. But most of all I highly recommend the entire albums "Helping The World To See(2004)" and "God Was Created(2002)", they're so underrated. Masterpieces in my eyes.

[@michaelmoore7869]

I live 5 mins from Cincinnati and only got a chance to see them once. They almost didn't play the show cause it was a Christian venue and were told they weren't allowed to curse on stage and the crowd wasn't allowed to mosh. They ended up playing anyways and we absolutely moshed. I don't remember much due to chugging a 4 loko and smoking blunts on the way to the show but it was a good time.

It's a damn tragedy how everyone left Myspace for Facebook. To this day I still can't wrap my head around it. Myspace was far better and way more fun. I kept my Myspace account for years after the collapse in hopes that it would make a comeback but it seemed everyone wanted to willingly be censored and be spied on by the government. I've never had a Facebook account and never will. RIP freedom

I remember when I first heard Rose Funeral. Looking for some killer tunes to put on my mp3 player for middle school n when riding bus. I heard Crucify. Kill. Rot. - I was like NO FUCKIN WAY! THIS IS SO BRUTAL! I immediately put their shit on my MP3 player! DEFINITELY badass band, n still have them in my vast music library.
