EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: IWRESTLEDABEARONCE ARE RUINING IT FOR EVERYBODY, SHOW US THEIR “KARATE NIPPLES”

By Axl Rosenberg

Earlier this week, we revealed that Iwrestledabearonce are changing genres to black metal, and promised that we’d unveil their debut as a BM band this week. Well, here it is — and it’s good to see that the band’s new, grim image hasn’t dampened their sense of humor too much. The track is called “Karate Nipples,” and it’s the first song off their all-new, all-black metal release, Ruining it for Everybody, out Tuesday, July 26 on Century Media.

Well I mean come ON, you didn’t really think they were turning into a black metal band, did you?

No no no. This was just IWABO and MetalSucks being the merry pranksters we are! Ruining it for Everybody features no actual black metal. Sorry, Emperor fans.

What it does contain is eleven new schizophrenic, experimental, ADHD tracks that are sure to piss off the humorless, elitist tight asses of the world — in other words, just the kind of shit we’ve come to expect and love from IWABO. In fact, this album is like It’s All Happening on angel dust — everything about it is more “ier.” The grindy sections are even nastier than they were before, and the not-so-grindy sections (for lack of a better phrase) are even more danceable, super-catchy, and further steeped in electronica. In this regard, “Karate Nipples” is exemplary of the whole album — contrast the section starting around the :41 second mark, which I could seriously picture all the girls who hold Sarah Jessica Parker as their idol bopping up and down, with the section that immediately follows it, which is pretty much just a piece of broken glass jabbed right up your fucking urethra. The approach isn’t that different from Happening, but the extremity of the extremism sure is.

Like we said, Ruining it for Everybody — which is a great fucking title, given the band’s relationship with the haters – comes out July 26 on Century Media. Get stoked. The band will also be the reason to go to this summer’s All Stars Tour — get dates here.

        Dude, Chris at Gun Shy Assassin is PISSED. Like, he’s literally promised to never cover Iwrestledabearonce again, no matter circumstances. It’s actually really funny. He sounds like a 16 year old that just got dumped.

        • Matt

          Dude you’re totally right. It’s pretty hilarious and I want to see if you boys at metalsucks respond to this one (he didn’t necessarily trash talk you besides discrediting you as “journalists”).

          • rawr

            I read that artical, and the one Chris linked about somebody throwing a dildo at IWABO, and I’m now convinced that Gun Shy Assassin (GSA?) is entirely devoid of humor…like incapable of it…I mean, how far do you need a stick up your ass to call a playful dildo chuck “sexual assault?”

            Well…that sounded insensitive, but whatever. That site blows.

    Definitely digging the new track. Not sure if I like it as much as anythinh off IAH, but it’s still good.

  • Kuranes

    Cool logo though… Actually, I kind of like this song. The clean vocals sound great.

  • Matt

    I’m all about spastic stuff but this band doesn’t do it for me. The kiddies love them though so they must be doing something right.

    When I saw them live they reminded me of the shitty local band that you can’t wait for their set to end. The vocalist was really struggling to stay on pitch with the clean vocals. It probably didn’t help that they were playing with Animals As Leaders, Darkest Hour, and Dillinger either.

    • A.C.

      That was a really weird tour by the way.

      • Matt

        Yeah it was a good show though. I went to the date at Reggies in Chi town.

        • peepeebottom

          Damned good show, minus the furby costume….

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Raymond-Owen/1128740822 Raymond Owen

      I’ve seen them a couple of times and it was always really spot on in my experience so…I don’t know man. Every band has an off day and usually just because they can’t hear what the fuck is going on.

      • Matt

        I agree with you about having off days for sure. Just seems like to me this band probably has more off than on days.

        • Evan

          I just saw them in March and they were on the whole time.

    • Aether Jake

      “When I saw them live they reminded me of the shitty local band that you can’t wait for their set to end.”

      lol

  • unholyjuggalo666

    that was the best black metal song ever

    • http://myspace.com/battalion21 Xander

      You, sir, are a tasteless moron. I say this on 2 accounts. 1) You must actually like IWABO, and 2) If you don’t like black metal, you disrespect influences many death metal and even some metalcore bands (fortunately not this one, because I would hate for such SHIT to be associated with black metal). Point proved.

      • Alex

        You must be the guy from that Gun Shy link posted above! I recommend you develop some taste, and stop taking music so serious. Death Metal and Metalcore? Really? Haha. No wonder you hate great musicians having fun!

        • http://myspace.com/battalion21 Xander

          No, that is another person, but I agree with his opinion. I personally hate metalcore (Chris likes some, and I’m not going to argue with him about the bands he likes), I was just making an example since IWABO are metalcore, and one of the most horrible examples of it. I read that someone called them grindcore, but if they’d listened to Carcass, Napalm Death or Lock Up, they’d know that IWABO isn’t grindcore. I would argue with you about IWABO being “great musicians,” but obviously you’re far too adolescent to listen to real metal.

        • http://myspace.com/battalion21 Xander

          As to my musical taste, I love death (especially technical), black, grind, progressive (and almost all variations thereof), groove, doom (especially death/doom), sludge, and post metal. That is real metal, not bands that need to prank other people and sites into believing that they would change from shitty metalcore to black metal. I completely understand Chris from GunShyAssassin’s view on this. IWABO has taken advantage of their publicist and has essentially committed fraud in doing so. In fact, if they had released a song as black metal, it WOULD be fraud. They’ve taken advantage of someone that should be able to trust them so badly that they came so close for it to be illegal. THAT is why I hate this band – not just for their music.

          • Jimbo

            Dude, what the hell!? So you don’t like Iron Maiden? You don’t like Slayer? They don’t fit into your narrow list of genres, so are they not ‘real metal’ (whatever the hell that means!)? Take the stick out of your arse mate, it’s just music. I love After the Burial, I love Funeral for a Friend. I love Prodigy and I love Ladyhawke. I can’t get enough of the new Nero single, yet I’m also loving my fresh off the press copy of Letlive’s album. Whatever makes you nod your head man, just enjoy it. Think about it, the time you’ve taken to write your venomous tirade on this site could have been spent spreading the love for a band you’re going crazy bat-shit bananas for at the minute. I don’t like the habit of facelessly insulting people on the interweb, but frankly chap, you’re a right plonker and need to either chill out (if you’re just a kid) or grow the fuck up (if you’re old enough to know better).

            Enjoy your ‘real metal’ sunshine.

  • Dave B

    Praise science this is good. Their last album was a great divergence from typical new metal releases. Can’t wait.

  • http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com Alkahest

    Even still, this is the best thing they’ve ever done.

    • The I

      Yeah, I like this a lot better than the crap they released in the past under the “experimental” flag.

  • A normal human like the rest of you

    That band picture looks like the band Cthonic.

    • MachinaeSupremacist

      It kind of does!

  • Braston

    I knew it was all a joke, but I kinda wish the band sorts would’ve done a black metal song just for fun! Anyways I love IWABO. This song is Heavy Fuckin’ Burtatious for sure!

    • amelia

      That would be cool just so we could see the reactions of all of their tween scene kid fans….

      • http://www.culturebomb.net jake66

    Oh wow, they had a funny idea that could have been great if they had actually done anything interestng with it! THAT’S IWABO IN A NUTSHELL, RIGHT THERE

    also, holy christ this song is terrible, their last album actually showed some promise but this is just dumb as fuck

      bro get over and sit over, turn the knotts til don and project a hoshman stateside. these grapes ain’t for you!

  • Jimmy

    of course it was a joke, and it wasn’t all that funny,
    oh and this band sucks massive dick,
    Axl, you need to hop off this shit and stop pretending like you like it, even if it means you get less website hits

    • Colin

      Finally… someone here who isn’t sucking this horrible band’s dick

      • deathcore blows cock

        I thought I was the only person on this website who hated this band with a passion I find it really odd that alot of this sites readers like this band and that this site even writes about them.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Vince-Decker/100002225040320 Vince Decker

          honestlty man i thought i was a minority. as i seem to remember it, i remember readers ripping this band pretty hard. and you should know metalsucks doesnt always write about “good” bands. all the articles i see that i could give two shits about the band, i keep scrolling.

          • Obsequium Mindris

            reading all the “i enjoyed their last album” and “i like them” confused me, but i’m glad i’m not the only one who don’t like donkey shit.

          • Jimmy

            I guess it just means that Axl was successful in making the site more popular among the IWABO kids.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Cameron-Davis/1598640014 Cameron Davis

    I think it would have been cool if they somehow managed to write an impressive black metal album.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Evan-Haines/1514331562 Evan Haines

    love it.

  • im feeling cunty

    eh………they should have gone black metal

    • KvltWalter

      agreed, I can’t stand this stuff that they’re doing

      • im feeling cunty

        its a digrace

  • Luvmus

    WOW REALLY??!??11! OMG I SO THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LIKE LEGIT BLACK METAL?!?!

    Obvious troll was obvious.

    • Bretton

      However, actually doing a legit black metal song would also be an obvious Troll, I can just imagine what kind of song title it would have had… like:

      “Grim frostbitten winds of the vast plains of the northern blackest coldness blow deep into the caves of frozen remains of thine enemies slaughtered at that battle last summer but now it’s cold and grim and frostbitten with icicles of blood hanging from the eye sockets of the skulls of those slaughtered on the vast plains of the northern blackest frozen winds.”

      • rawr

        I want that song.

  • irma mcclain

    It’s fucking awesome!

  • A.C.

    Shit…is every band these days “capable of integrating” an 8 string guitar into their music now.

  • gloriousjohnson

    i have a sense of humor and fucking hate this. they do however look cooler than abigail williams in the promo pick. something musta rubbed off when they got smacked in the face with a dildo. it was most likely butt sweat, but it was definitely shitty song writing abilities.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jt-Gilmore/538202538 Jt Gilmore

    humorless, elitist tight asses of the world <- me.

  • Adam Browning

    I’m not really in to black metal. So after I heard they’d “gone black metal” I decided to do a bit of research into it, for a couple of days. Didn’t like it very much. Felt very disappointed. The original excitement when I heard about the new IWABO album was killed off. I felt sad.

    Fuck you all. You incredible brilliant BASTARDS.

  • jamesjones

    +1 for actually wishing they did a black metal song

    These guys don’t make any sense. They’re trying so hard to be weird/ironic that the music just sucks, on par with Attack Attack. See bands like BTBAM for examples of well done intra-song genre changes. This song is so schizophrenic that it’s incoherent.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Michl-Deuueaugh-Bishop/571220161 MichÆl Deuueaugh Bishop

      they aren’t trying anything and these guys pull off the “intra-song” genre changes so much better than BTBAM

      • haaha

        Now that’s just a retarded notion.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Vince-Decker/100002225040320 Vince Decker

          ya i dig iwabo, but no one pulls off genre changes better than btbam.

          • Mongorian

            No BTBAM attempts are much more retarded cos they are actually being serious. IWABO actually have a Faith No More style sense of absurdity that allows them to pull it off BTBAM are just a humorless bunch of prog metallists.

            God I hate seeing people on the site being so much on that horrible bands dick all the time

      • Altered Bestiality

        Nahh.. BTBAM at least melds the genre changes in.

        This shit reminds me of Kittie + Dillenger Escape Plan

        Now they can be lumped into “hipster metal” like the rest of em.

        • Roen

          this

    • Jason

      This band reminds me of drama club kids who are always trying to one-up their last “goofy” prank for more attention.

      • WIfe Swamp

        oh you SMOKE the biggest riffs, bro? YEAH, CRYSTALS

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tony-Necrotic-Polley/565976394 Tony Necrotic Polley

    Thank god the black metal thing was a joke!!! i was seriously enraged!!! this band sucks!! but to be honest the only person with talent in this band is the singer, her vocals are not bad, but the music is terrible!!! she would better fit another band.

    • some douche

      you take yourself way too seriously….

      • Faulty

  • Keiji

    The Song was mmm ok, but im disapointed i was expecting black metal, I was ready to play zombies and rip there heads of but insted i sat watching spongebob, idk, I really would of like to hear some real black metal from you guys..

  • reznik

    this band is so overrated

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ben-Robson/1375985482 Ben Robson

    this band is fun. i don’t understand the hate – they clearly aren’t under a delusion of artistic grandeur…it’s just goofy stuff to have fun with.

  • Lunchbox Juggalo

    must admit you guys got me i was like what the fuck but then i read further but yea love the new track gotta fuckin love the name i mean come on “karate nipples” thats brutal cant wait to hear the new album and PLEASE COME TO SPRINGFIELD ILLINOIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/ \m/

    • Yeah…

      That would never happen. Springfield has no were to play… Black Sheep Cafe? bahaha…

      Would like to see them at POP’s in St. Lou again tho, IWABO was on like konkey dong. As was ABR.

  • TheSkunkCatcher

    Really liking this song, though I was hoping for an orchestral opening to the song.

  • http://theshiveringsands.blogspot.com/ TheShiveringSands

    Abigail Williams must be sighing in relief that IWABO are not going black metal. Otherwise they would have to explain to their fans why a bunch of “scene kids” can write better black metal then they could.

    This is definitely a good song and it has me excited for the new album.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dakota-White/100002356936624 Dakota White

      I lol’d at this abigail williams is nothing more than a shitty emperor rip off.

      happy I read the comments so I’m not repeating someone else, kudos to you sir, this was fucking awful

      • holy bad metal batman

        agreed. my screen name was created just for bands like this.

  • Abdallah Hamidavi

    My god that was fucking terrible…

  • SourDeez

    I’ve never liked this band too much, but this track is pretty fucking awesome. The clean vocals sound really good, and I’m loving all the electronica shit. They actually impressed me when I saw them open for HORSE the Band a few years ago, although I was incredibly drunk, which is certainly the right state to be in for a show like that.

    • Howie

      I agree, I’ve never really heard anything I liked by these guys but I’m digging this.

  • Metalguy

    The problem isn’t that the musics “funny”, I love Ziltoid and that album is downright silly. The problem is that the music is garbage.

  • Sean

    Great track and her clean vocals seem improved over the last album. This track has me excited for the new album.

  • Jizzmaster3000

    The guys have always been just case of trying-too-hard. All they manage to achieve is make me miss Sikth that even more.

  • Matt S

    Shits terrible. How does this band have fans?

    • some douche

      theyre like nickelback, people like them because everyone hates them and knows they just suck. the people in this band are so obnoxious and unnecessary, why not just debut a new track like a normal hard working band rather than try to cause an uproar like lady gaga

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jason-John-Crispen/100000169530540 Jason John Crispen

        NOBODY likes nickelback because they know everybody else hates them. that’s plain ridiculous. nickelback is able to sell lots of albums because people will buy anything.

  • http://www.facebook.com/pages/Izeovasis/165678580151365 Jamison

    I’d have to say the only thing diggable about this band is that she sometimes sounds like Bjork when she’s singing. The heavy parts aren’t that heavy, and the spastic tech stuff isn’t that interesting or unique.

    • http://www.facebook.com/pages/Izeovasis/165678580151365 Jamison

      and if I wanted to laugh at metal, I’d pay more attention to Design the Skyline or whatever those ladies are called…

      Journal fucking stomps IWABO and is just as “spastic” and “weird”

  • Rik

    Obviously it was all a joke, but I was hoping as part of the joke they would actually have made a black metal song. As it is, it’s not really much of a joke. More of a pointless lie.

  • kornholio

    So not liking horrible music is being a humorless elitist tight ass. Now wait a minute! I’m being trolled aren’t I? That’s pure genius I tell ya. Failproof way of defecating horrendous music and getting away with it! No, here I go again with being trolled, sorry.

  • Kye

    Not as awful as I remember thinking they were last time I heard something by them (before whatever that last album was), but I still don’t really like it. I’ll at least check out the album though.

    I would have been way more interested in a black metal song.

  • RandomGuitarist

    This song was one big MEH

  • B-Rad

    Sooooo glad it didn’t suck.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dakota-White/100002356936624 Dakota White

    Thank god they didn’t because most and i mean most black metal bands with girls in them suck. For example who likes winds of plague, Cradle of filth or abigail williams no one on this site i hope. But i love death metal bands with girls like Fuck the
    facts, cerebral bore, arch enemy, landmine marathon they all are great.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Lincoln-Sample/605089364 Lincoln Sample

      Those aren’t really good examples, WoP aren’t even a little bit black metal from what I’ve heard. Gallhammer is all female and Ludicra’s vocalist is female and both of them are really good!

      • http://myspace.com/battalion21 Xander

        Agreed. WoP was a bad example there. They’re symphonic deathcore. Weird mix, and I don’t like a lot of their songs, but some I like. As to IWABO, you may have seen my previous comments and guessed this already, I hate them, and this “prank” on everyone (including their own publicist) disgusts me.

  • http://ayiman.tumblr.com ayiman

    I like you ya’ll conflated ‘gay’ with ‘obnoxious’.

  • AN-TONE

    Why does she ruin it with these fake Bjork vocals… JUST STOP.

  • kmfcm

    WHAT DID I TELL YOU GUYS?

    Trolling.

  • False Nate

    One part sounded like Of Montreal with a shitty female indie singer, and then the rest of the parts sounded like shitty deathcore breakdowns with a shitty deathcore vocalist and a wannabe Psyopus guitar line on top. This in no way succeeded. Don’t get me wrong, the Theory of IWABO is a great one. It’s a combination of extreme and avant-garde metal. Unfortunately, the practice (in the case of this band) is fucking horrendous.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ryan-Schwartz/1335360433 Ryan Schwartz

    it’s like a horse fucked Attack Attack! then made the musical equivalent of a Jackson Pollock imitation.

    pretty terrible.

    That weird techno part near the beginning where she’s all “I feel complete” doesn’t make sense to me. Why is that there? It is so out of place it makes me inexplicably anger. I’m going to go masturbate FURIOUSLY into a balloon while staring directly at that picture of the band, then throw that balloon at the next fan of this band that I see.

    I really don’t like them.

    I was actually kind of looking forward to hearing them as a black metal band, even though in the back of my mind I was saying “Really? Something’s fishy here…”

    Gotta say though, I’m digging this new track. That fucking clean section at the end is epic.

    awww, I was hoping symphonicy blacky metaly stuff, kinda disappointed.

  • Adam

    I’d rather listen to this than black metal, thats for fucking sure.

  • Trev

    Metalsucks goes to that whole “If you don’t like this, you are probably some elitist with no sense of humour” schtick multiple times a day. Stop trying to hide the fact that this shitty trendcore band gave you a fat cheque to appear on this site by putting down your users.

      nailed it! Monday there will be a post about how they’re not sellouts and how you’re an idiot. Cool.

    • ACoffinShip

      Come on, isn’t it obvious? Pretty much the only way to defend IWABO is to just string together “U MAD BRO? U JELLY? WHY DO YOU HATE FUN, U MAD” until whoever you’re talking to sighs, shakes their head, and walks away.

      • BigBintheAV

        +infinity. IWABO fans cry the same thing everytime. I think I have seen this before…

        I don’t see a problem with that.

          Metalsucks has became as adolescent as the shitty trendcore bands they write about. They’re just like MetalHammer now. This is nothing but a jibe to gain some attention.

    I have never listened to this band before now. They are not very good.

  • sean

    they are awesome live!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Colin-OConnor/1491245262 Colin O’Connor

    Yeah I hate IWABO but I have to say this was a hilarious prank! From a theatric point of view I’d love to watch the collective BM fan response to these guys switching to BM.

  • ACoffinShip

    If they actually stuck with the simplistic pop-rock sections in there they would be a not bad band at all. The heavy sections were simple, boring, and sounded rather thin while the random genre bending added absolutely nothing to the song.

    So basically it’s every IWABO song ever.

    Not gonna lie though, if it actually had been black metal I would’ve been highly amused.

  • Metalhead. Simply, metalhead.

    As an avid fan of blackmetal, i would’ve loved to see them attempt it. I thought for a second they wouldve covered “Freezing Moon” with poppy breakpoints and breakdowns. That wouldve been sick too.

    it’s about fucking time iwrestledabearonce actually wrote a song.

  • si

    sounds like shit to me, simple riffs emo singing and weak screaming, ill stick to anaal nathrakh thanks

  • Bretton

    Yeah, I bought it, and I’m not ashamed of it, ’cause I wouldn’t put it past them to go over the top in ANY direction, which could include making the grimmest, frostiest black metal record the world has ever seen, and then turn around and make their next album something completely different.

    When did this band get so many fans on this site??? Last time they had an album come out there was almost an uprising on here because nearly everyone on here hated them and they kept doing write ups nearly everyday. Is out favorite little metal site finally being invaded by the “cool kids” God i hope not but it appears to be true.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Will-Breen/1371272524 Will Breen

      Nah, I think it’s just that people have realized that they’re not as horrible as you’d think they’d be. Are they essentially just a super-dumbed down version of Mr. Bungle? Yeah, but, even then, it’s still at least somewhat interesting. They’re obviously very good musicians with interesting ideas, I just think they need time to mature and develop. Someday, they will release their Disco Volante. Just you wait.

      • Silicondominion

        my thoughts exactly

  • John

    Production sounds like black metal
    Meaning it sucks.

    Also, sounds exactly like their first album.
    Love them or hate them, they should probably try and progress between albums and this song just sounds like more of the same.

    Same problem BTBAM had.

  • kody

    this is is absolutly terrible…. IWABO is a bunch of douche bags making absolutly shitty music… there almost as bad as Sky Eats Airplane but at least that craps a lil better…

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Kez-Narwhal-Webster/100000348273124 Kez Narwhal Webster

    Okay first of all, all of you can just fuck off and suck my giant spiky balls. if you hate IWABO so much, keep it to yourself and quit reading their articles, since they’re SOOOOO GAY. Also, you might want to retake 2nd grade grammar again. YOUR STUPID. And yeah, this isn’t my favorite song of theirs, but still, I will fight to the death for these guys. I don’t even read this website, but apparently they cover SOOO MUCH BETTER MUSIC THAN THIS, so read their articles instead, and quit being such a cock-knocking ass-blowing dick-slapping douche-puncher

  • simon

    this, is cool?
    weak

  • NegroPlease

    its not that unbelieveable considering hipsters jump on every band wagon. this shit sucks they have a relationship with the haters because they suck dick and call themselves grindcore when they are nowhere near close to that. them calling themselves blackmetal is just as much a joke as them calling themselves grind/death metal….

    • some douche

      websites like this dont really help either with the whole hipster thing. this joke wasnt funny it was just unnesesary making so many people argue and hate for nothing. it is what it is ladies and gentlemen: trendy core music that in 20 years will never be listened to at all by anyone.

  • Osmguy

    thissucksthissucksthissucks.

    Do people even listen to this shitpile?

  • kindra

    when are they having a new album out?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Branden-Salah/100000730343151 Branden Salah

    I had a bit of hope for this band, a change in style is not a bad thing at all, but overall I knew they had to be joking. Which is why their new album sucks…because it’s trying to blend genres without clean transitions…

  • DanImauL

    As a musician this disgusts me. Never, should a shitty band, release thru their agent that they are changing directions only to pull a “Got’cha”. Fucking lame. This band blows Bjork on a nightly basis and deserves a fiery death. Just for running with this story I will never come back to this site, fuck you all very much.

    • bretton

      as a musician, this amuses me

  • Ryan

    this band sucks

  • Lybrium

    Does anyone else find it hilarious how much attention this gets? …It’s alright, not bad. Get over it.

  • Poopbutt

    You people really don’t know what metal is, do you? Pathetic.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Laz-Mmxii/1038883574 Laz Mmxii

    Wow, look at all these fuckin cry babies on here!! whine whine, black metal, whine whine, metalcore, whine whine, “real metal” (that is just hilarious), whine bitch cry rivers, my opinion, my opinion, my opinion… ITS FUCKING MUSIC!!! STAND TOGETHER NO MATTER WHAT METAL YOU LIKE, RESPECT OTHERS OPINIONS, AND GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELVES YOU WHINY TWATS!!! On another note, good tune, this band always makes me laugh, cant wait for a new video… They are what they are… I agree, saying that you are changing genres and then saying “gotcha” is unprofessional and they will prolly learn a lesson from it as a band and hopefully grow from the experience… But hopefully not grow up any, cuz I like their humorous attitude toward music… Cheers, spread the music, not your adolescent hatred for stuff you simply just dont understand!!! : )

  • jake

    this is fucking terrible

  • BloodHockeyHeavyMetal

    What did they call me up there? A humor-less elitist? BS! Because I’d rather listen to Morbid Angel? Because this metal is terrible, why make a comment like that about me. Is this how you defend the Hot Topic brain washed Mall Metal losers that wouldn’t recognize black metal if it came up and slapped their moms? If you hate this crappy imitation of the Locust as much as I do, move to Canada, we don’t listen to this kind vomit inducing music up here. Metal sucks, you got that right.

    • the pair

      it’s very understandable that someone from the land of devin townsend and voivod would have little patience for this godawful wank. if people want “funny” or “clever” they should stick with anal c_nt and total f_ckign destruction.

  • the pair

    pretending they’re black metal isn’t nearly as funny as pretending they’re original or talented. nice logo but i’d prefer some mediocre 5th gen black metal to this mallcore meets evanescence bullshit.

    and how the hell is this “extreme”? if over-produced-dillinger-meets-the-gathering mainstream teen angst soundtracks are the new “extreme” we’re going to need another adjective for phantomsmasher and masonna.

  • warmaster

    to feel the bloofd run thorugh my fingers as my blade enters the flesh of this hipster shit would be the ultimate victory!!tour here u fucking scum.i would love to watch your faces turn white as u find that all yer gear is gone.trucks on fire!!!!!!
