Counterparts "Wings of Nightmares" 

*How to keep the perfect balance between "I want to cry" and "I want to destroy"*

They’re too consistent it’s actually scary

Brendan's lyrics are poetically tragic.

they’ve never stopped getting better and more impressive to listen to and to see live. i’m very excited for the new album.

this feels like one of those bands thats inexplicably popular in japan

all checked: ✓ vocals ✓ lyrics ✓ riffs ✓ breakdowns ✓ basslines ✓ drumming ✓ consistency

Little shorts big shirt

Sickest band these days. Best riffs and breakdowns. Great lyrics. Top of my hardcore list

most consistent band in the game. the boys just keep getting better

how does this band not disappoint with anything this is just unfair

First new Knocked Loose and now new Counterparts I'm not worthy 😍

Thank god for Pure Noise Records. This label is the future of hardcore and pop punk

Oh boy, we're being spoiled this year. Thank you!

Adrian, Blake, and Jesse are some of the most inspiring and amazing guitarists out there. The chord progressions/voicing and lead lines are so amazing. These guys inspire me so much when playing guitar.

I will chew through to the bone in my desire to be free

The riffs in the chorus are making me drool.

2:36 my face when I listen to 'nice music'

Thanks for existing counterparts ♥

1:30 the contrasting leads are the dopest shit I’ve heard on a track this year

Just saw them a little over a week ago in San Antonio again. One of the best bands in hardcore, hands down.

This is so sick. Cannot wait for the new album to drop. The guitars and lyrics in this are so good.

God those riffs this is the best melodic hardcore band in the business.

Forever one of my favorite bands.. Personally, I think their best album is the difference between hell and home, but I’ve really loved everything they’ve done the entire time they’ve existed. Super consistent band.

2:16 Love to hear those ambient sounds added to the same powerful sound of the band!

Those riff is so eargasm

Only a handful of bands have the effect of giving me chills and goosebumps. Every damn time Counterparts. I love this band so much.

The bois have literally never put out bad music, only gotten better and better every release holy shit. I can’t think of any band as consistent as these guys

How do they keep getting better? Full body goosebumps at the breakdown.

This band is on another level. Like, shit, bro. I don't even have an speech to express how good they are

I'm so glad I bought the CD

So good to hear Blake let loose. There's an albums worth of lead in this.

brendan's best screams maybe

They’re getting better at writing counterparts songs. This is just a whole new level

Counterparts one of the best in the genre if not the best

Counterparts - Wings of nightmares I'm clinging to the wings of nightmares Detaching every finger one by one Shaken awake, to find our absence hasn't manifested yet Longing for a sense of loss Picking me apart like birds of prey Where illusions will depart from unhinged jaws Silent in the presence of your name Rip the memory from my mind Perfectly still but somehow running out of time [Verse] Keep your distance From the flowers that will decorate my corpse Undeserving of a chance to watch them thrive Remove the sickness Before it has a chance to run its course I knew we'd never make it out alive Clairvoyant only to delusion As you salvage fantasy to fit your needs You held my lifeless body to your heart And convinced yourself that could feel a pulse (Laying traps beneath my feet) (I will chew through to the bone in my desire to be free) Rip the memory from my mind Perfectly still but somehow running out of time [Verse] Keep your distance From the flowers that will decorate my corpse Undeserving of a chance to watch them thrive Remove the sickness Before it has a chance to run its course I knew we'd never make it out alive x2 Your shadow will keep me blinded by the light living in lies Allowing fallen petals to turn black Reflecting the colour of your insides Rip the memory from my mind Hold my lifeless body to your heart And convince yourself that you still feel a pulse Rip the memory from my mind Perfectly still but somehow running out of time

So glad that some of the original members help collaborate on this album. Sounds like counteprarts that i loved and I love it.

Blake’s Pow Wow spins are Dope. 🔥

Never seen a more consistently incredible hardcore band like these guys.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR

ah yes, my fave band is back ✊🏻

love from Japan.

To me this is the sound and style I crave, hardcore and edgey. This is amazing. Bring it back.

This Slaps!🔥

I love that how insane the guitar is for them is seen like the cadence in which someone speaks and the drummer sees that and matches that cadence rather than playing a simple rhythm

Reminds me of their earlier stuff. Dig it. Cant wait to see them in a couple weeks

getting better by every release

Thank you guys for keeping this melodic Hardcore genre alive while it is has been declining/dying slowly & slowly for the past few yrs. 🔥🔥

Ngl this band is gold

Honestly they’re just always solid af. Live. Album. Art. It’s just good shit lol.

What a good day to be alive

Still waiting for the highs and lows that Brendan has used live lately :D

1:02 ayyyy Jesse

The guitar work over this chorus is magical I will play it until my ears bleed

this album got jesse and alex helping to write some of these kick ass tracks, can't wait to here how hard the rest of the album rips.

omg i'm so excited about the album 😍 so many old songs helped me go through hard times... Pre-ordered!!

That ending breakdown reminds me of the mid song breakdown of thread.

Brendan in Counterparts- ☺️😠 Brendan in END- 💀😡

Oh this slays soooooo hard!!

I'll never understand how this band has managed to stay the same, yet improve so much more than you thought that they could.

Holy shit that chorus is wonderful

The riffs are getting better

Counterparts only makin hits

New tool put me to sleep, waking up to this was way better

Estoy aquí para demostrar que este grupo se escucha también lejos de Canada y que todavía hoy estamos esperando una gira por España

Holy god, insane song!

i love this band so much

Best band alive.

The only band that's being consistent and true to their music.

Hard to believe I’ve been listening since sophomore year of high school and you guys have only gotten better with age. Come back to Columbus and see us boys we miss you

I cant describe what feeling is listen counterparts. Only know is fucking good. This song man... god damn

Pure Fire, Pure Counterparts.

They just keep getting more and more fast paced and technical instrumentally, this absolutely rips

I need this album to release, god damn!

This band has just gotten better over the years man

best band ever.

Allow fallen petals to turn black reflecting the color of your insides

These guys are masters of their craft and yet still improving, which is just scary

I fucking love Counterparts

This year is the best....all my fav bands releasing albums🖤

Seeing you guys tonight. You better bring it!

Eu amo essa banda demaisssss

So so gooood 🧡

These guys have been around for quite a while now. So pumped that they're only going up from here.

my boy Bryan at 00:43

SO SICK!!!!!!!!! STILL FAV BAND EVER❤

this is dope. They always make solid tunes.

If they fuck around and decide to drop an album before 2020 it might sneak past everything else and be AOTY

They released this on my birthday. This is quite the gift, and I love it

COUNTERPARTS FOREVER!

Very pleased with this release! Best lyrics out there!

Sick song and melody,you are the best guys!

I love VHS videos

I love

They never fail to hit the most intriguing parts of the subconscious buried deep down with the lyrics. Fucking. Beautiful. Keep it up my dudes!

consistency are the key. one of the best hardcore band!

Goddammit, I fucking love Counterparts.

Yes please!!!

What a great Fall/Winter album this will be!

I love that the video isn't even centered, cause fuck it lmao.

I don't think I've ever heard a bad song from counterparts, you dudes rule.
