Here in late 2023 and these dudes don't get the credit they deserve. One of the earliest pioneers of metalcore, I hope one day in the future people recognize
I’ve known this song since the day it came out. It has helped me through all the shit I’ve dealt with in high school and all those suicide attempts. I’m turning 30, till this day this song still gives me that comfort that everything will be alright. Thank You Darkest Hour.
Definitely. It sucks they will probably never get the recognition they deserve. They are easily above killswitch engage and the rest of the other mainstream metalcore groups.
Yeah it almost seems like that they're the ones from the hardcore scene that has heard of At The Gates. I recommend checking out The Punk Rock Mba for the details.
@@TreiskadekDevili disagree with them being above killswitch but this is biased because killswitch engage is my favorite band. but darkest hour is top 5 for me. and this album is one of my favorites of all time
Oh, you and me, we're the same Asking for more than the numbing existence Offered us all What did they say? What did they do? To make you crawl back in Despite everything that you've been through You're still right where I left you We can lift up our hands to the sky Find all of those strings that they're pulling and keep from falling back Into our old rhythmic poses Turning us into machines And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves In any way we won't all look the same way down And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves In any way and we'll all take the same way out And all these illusions dropped on a sea of believers Crowding around as they hunt me down And throw me out While all the rest of the others Bang their heads in the dredges And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves In any way we won't all look the same way down And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves In any way and we'll all take the same way out So don't give up on me We can be still pretend This is all just a game That'll work itself out in the end
undoing ruin is better though tbh. deliver us is decent, but the rest of their discog is a lot better tbh. hidden hands, the eternal return, and godless prophets kick ass asw.
It keeps happening to me too, im getting kinda sick of it....i mean i got shit to do, i dont need metalcore bands slowin me down....time to appeal to the record companies....no more metalcore vids in junkyards plz, jesus!
I remember thinking the whole guitar hero thing was laughable But cool that they were getting tthere name out there. Been a fan since I saw Sadist Nation vid on a Victory Records promo DVD +Battle for Ozzfest ...then got my hands on Undoing Ruin Fall of 2005, album saved my life and I haven't looked back since. In fact, I even got a tattoo of the album art...Which you can see in DH's doc Party Scars 2. I'm the guy at the very end proudly displaying the art on my arm - the Dead Boy. There's also a funny pic on Head Above Heart's collection of DH. It's the one of the wheel chair guy crowd surfing. I'm in the pic - the guy with the satanic tattoo and the holy shit expression on his face. Lmao Ah, such good times and that image is practically historical. DH is the best! :D
It's insane how the early mid 2000's have the best Metalcore. It's like the bands forgot that there isn't just a drop D guitar involved in making a good Metalcore song
I've seen Darkest hour so many times. They always visited my city and we would follow them to Houston and catch their show there too. Great band and super chill guys. I miss those days. I don't even listen to metal anymore, honestly. Just got to thinking about concerts and thought about them. Still sound sick.
If it wasn’t for my best friend introducing this band to me , I prolly would have never found them . He OD’d 6 years ago after both of us kicked a really nasty habit back in 2005-10. Sucks that I’m here and he’s not but , it gets a little easier every time I look back on it . Rest In Peace , Timmy . “And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves In any way we won't all look the same way down And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves In any way and we'll all take the same way out”
When a band is filming a music video they'll usually listen to a recording of the song and play along to it. A drummers cymbals are often so loud that they'll drown out the sound of the audio playback and the players being filmed will play out of sync. If you tape the bottom of your cymbals they tend to ring less, making it easier to hear the recording over them. You'll see a lot of drummers tape their crash cymbals for music video shoots. Hope this helps!
This band helped me through my teenage years, and this song by itself is forever placed in my heart. Darkest Hour truly makes amazing music, and I hope to see them capture the fame they deserve.
it's sad that these guys will never go main stream. Their music is so much better than the 128 bpm main street shite that we're force fed everyday. Long Live Real Rock!
It's about overcoming yourself and anything negative you do that's holding you back before you reach an old age regretting everything and dreaming of what you could have done
Literally one of my favourite bands ever since I heard 'A thousand words to say but one' and they remain, inside me, the songs as infectious and meaningful as ever, Darkest Hour, We salute you.
This song will always be my favorite, forever. Thank you darkest hour for creating such a beautiful discography and it still being so great 17 years later. Thank you John Henry!
2024 just now discovering these dudes. Where the fuck have I been? For one they’re from DC, I’m born and raised in MD, 20 min outside Baltimore, 45min-1.5hr outside DC for the last 30yrs. For two, they describe themselves as influenced by ‘Swedish extreme metal’ in general. All of it, no one specific, though I do hear some key influences in some songs. That’s the shit I do like. How have I never deep dove into their shit?
Convalescence and the sadist nation did it for me.once I heard kris' arpeggio sweeps I was hooked.its sad he's gone but im glad to know dh still has that unique dark but beautiful sound that ive come to admire.
Never heard of these guys till I found my old guitar hero 5 game... I only played the song cuz I'm into screaming stuff... and a lot of stuff like this... and now I'm really interested into these guys... thanks GH :3
I remember the promo when this album came out it was through the fuse channel (when they had good music) but I knew about this band through the victory records DVDs that came out with cds and I got undoing ruins and fell in love with this band
Ramadon Steve hey. Same here. Took me a few years to find my way back to this song basically. So I know how you feel. Plus I do know that feeling before.
Love how his clean vocals are almost speech like but his screams are so on point it makes this song one in a million...after all these years I still fucking love this song
Darkest hour has so many hard songs that get shit going way harder than this song, but as many other comments have said, this song is a masterpiece of music. So beautiful and entrancing. Such a beautiful message and longing for a better life. One of my absolute favorite songs in the world. Fucking Stellar work Darkest Hour
I'll never forget seeing them live at The House Of Blues in San Diego, it was my first Death Metal show I was like 13, my dad took me, Six Feet Under, Whitechapel, and Black Dahlia Murder was there. But I was there for Darkest Hour. One of the best shows ever.. and I've seen Floyd, Priest, Maiden, ACDC.. but ill always remember seeing Darkest Hour.
I remember when this song first came out. on MTV 2 while I was watching headbangers ball, I swear everytime it went to commercial, it played a part of this video and song and it just got stuck in my head from listening to it so much. this song is great
Songs built around triplets have interested me for awhile. Very unique felling. The quarter + eight note triplet groove the drums play in the first verse is a joy to play and listen to
Darkest Hour was always weird to me in a sense they were in between what I would normally listen to which was heavy hardcore with plenty of breakdowns or straight deathcore/deathmetal. For some this reason this song always made my playlist though back in the day. Love it.
they day i heard this band!! i played the fuck out there music for about a month straight!! guy at school sold me the undoing ruin cd for 2 bucks, said it wasnt his taste of music, best 2 bucks ive spent!!!!
2024 I'm 33 years old. I remember finding this band and loving everything about them and telling my friend Allen that this breakdown is the heaviest I have heard and he showed me M.V.P by Disposed Icon but the difference to me is yes M.V.P. is probably the best breakdown ever imho the breakdown in this song made me feel things and also be able to get the bad feelings out and to me that was the heavier breakdown. And to this down I love this band for what they did for me.👍
My best friend killed himself last week. He fought his demons for a long time, but they caught him in the end. Stay top-side for your loved ones. You're not the one stuck here without you, brother. This is not fair.
