Make Them Suffer - Old Souls [Official Video] 

OLD SOULS EXPLAINED: This is not for everyone, rather for those who may be wanting a little something extra from our new album "Old Souls". This album is no where near as descriptive or painterly as Neverbloom was. However, there is an underlying story and it's best followed backwards, from finish to start: Starting from the final track (11), we see in the music video our protagonist being torn from his wife to go to war, he witnesses his best friend be killed and this changes him. He starts seeing a haunting and dark character follow him everywhere he goes. This character is the "Lord of Woe", but his appearance is to be taken in a symbolic sense. he represents the black dog over our protagonists shoulder, the darkness in his life, or just a shadow. At the very end of this music video we see that from witnessing his friend die in war, he has developed a drinking problem. Skip forward two songs to track 8 "Scraping The Barrel" and the lyrics go further into depth about the deep sadness he feels, and that by drinking more, he is "patching" "plugging" and "drying" the holes from which his happiness is escaping him. Finishing the song up with the lyric "Bottoms up, another one down the hatch". Forward another song to track 7, "Blood Moon" and our protagonist is suffering from mental illness (probably to do with shell-shock and alcohol abuse). The lyrics of this song go back and forth between depressed and destructive, as if there were two devils dancing on either side of the protagonists shoulder, until it's revealed at the end of the song in the lyrics that he has schizophrenia. Track 6 is the turning point on the album and is called "Through the looking glass". It's a time for self reflection. Our protagonist literally looks at himself in the mirror and realises what he has to do, as the whispers of insanity slowly leave him. His call to action after this (Threads, track 5) is to give in and surrender, ridding himself of all his material possessions and even his body as he believes his time on earth is done. "Take the weight of my bones, take the pictures and pieces I own. Take away this frame, pick my tissue to threads." Track 4 (Let Me In): It's time for our protagonist to follow through with his call to action, his time on this earth is done. He can no longer live with the deep void he feels from his alcohol abuse. From the scars left from watching his best friend die, and living with the fact that he abuses his wife (see music video for reference). He then comes home one night with a bottle of scotch and apologises to his wife "Annie" in the form of a note, before blowing his brains out. Track 2 Requiem is exactly what it sounds like, it's our protagonists send-off, a lament for the dead, an elegy even tongue emoticon. He has passed away, although he won't be forgotten. "Through my buried bones, my song lives on" - Perhaps HE will haunt Make Them Suffer's NEXT album. Track 1 is the most integral piece of the puzzle. It ties together the entire album. The first line of this "Old friend, let's start again" are the words of our deceased protagonist (his song lives on), pleading with Annie to start it all over again. The next lyric "Try not to spoil the end" is ironic because the line that follows; "It's been so long", does actually spoil the ending of the album - as that is also the very last lyric on the album. Bringing the entire album story full circle. Having this story unfold the way it did on the album was in no way intentional, it just came together that way. Everyone has a story to tell, and if they can dig deep enough to truly learn about themselves, it might just be one worth hearing! Thanks to all the fans for supporting this band through thick and thin, I hope you all enjoyed listening to the album as much as we enjoyed writing it. - Sean Harmanis

Can't believe how far Dacre went on acting. While MTS is still a very underrated Metal band.

That intro hits me in the feels for some reason.

Came for Dacre stayed for the music holy shit👏🏻

I’m here for Dacre

I think I get it: The guy that went to war suffered from post traumatic disorder (hitting his wife on the Let Me In video), developed schizophrenia and went to a mental hospital (Blood Moon), thus leading his wife to abandon him. But, through his schizophrenia his mind created the character of the Lord Of Woe, which is the violent and tortured side of our protagonist, a character that wants revenge for being abandoned (as shown in the Neverbloom album). That would explain Lord Of Woe appearing in Blood Moon and Old Souls, more specifically in parts involving things such as insanity, hatred and despair, giving further evidence that he is a product from the protagonist suppressed emotions. Couldn't get into much detail, but anyway, that's just a theory

This album is so sick and so is this. Fucking love mts.

Ft. Billy from Stranger Things

Damn, can MTS do anything wrong? This song and the whole album is fucking awesome, even the songs i didn't prefer at the start grew on me really quick. This video gave me chills as well. Great fucking job, that is all.

*Charges the enemies* "It's morphing time!"

One of the greatest bands my ears have ever had the experience of listening to. This band is truly talented, and bring so much emotion through heavy breakdowns, screams, melodic piano, and more. I have found my new addiction, and I have to say this band goes as one of the hardest addictions to break. 10/10

I'm glad they let Louisa sing on more than one song.

MTS always has crazy amounts of emotion behind their music and videos such an amazing band.

Holy shit this song & video gave me so many chills. Fucking amazing. I can't even explain.

Dacre Montgomery who plays the main soldier who comes back home is the Red Power Ranger in the new remake and is also the big brother in Stranger Things. his name is Billy on the show. awesome. love that guy, and i love this band.

Most underrated metalcore song ever...

I feel like the band's effort with the use of the keyboard this time round has really given the WHOLE album the feel of "Old Souls". Really well done

was i here for dacre? yes. but as a rock and metal fan, now i dig this band.

Make Them Suffer is the definition of music. I hear the instruments orchestrated perfectly and the vocals are prestige. And the music video is true cinematography; the music video perfectly illustrates the lyrics. The lyrics make you think about the connections between the songs on the album, its truly genius. Truly a masterpiece! This is why Make Them Suffer is my favourite band, they're unique and special.

MTS and Thy Art Is Murder - 2 Aussie bands paving the way!!

Metal and piano go together so well. And this band has refined it like a fine wine.

Huge shoutout to our men and women in the military...MTS is bae

MMS is are not just another mediocre "core" band. They're awesome! I really like music videos with meaning.

3:12 that guy went MLG ham lol

Old souls is the best album by make them suffer

YASSSSSS

jesus Christ... the video and the lyrics and how much emotion he puts behind them make everything about this song perfect. mad props

Dacre Montogomery is an amazing actor and artist and I love how versatile he is in trying new things ❤️ love and appreciate everything he does ❤️

That part at 1:30 is utterly amazing.

I just wanted to see Dacre in something else, but this music video was directed and written beautifully. I found myself invested in the story of it all.

I might be tripping REALLY hard but is that the actor that's supposed to be playing as Jason in the new MM power rangers movie?

this is honestly the only album I've ever pre ordered, I feel in love with this album when I heard requiem. one of the few albums I can listen from start to end and love every second

Wow, masterpiece

Omg this video even brought tears, just remembering the horrors of war some i know have passed through, plus the lyrics, and...well i love this band. Along with elegies and chronicles, this song is one of the best 3 of the, for me

They have the best music videos.

The raw emotion in their songs mixed with the beautiful old time look aesthetic. The mood is set profoundly well and there's a plethora of symbolism. Truly an extraordinary album titled song, there's no other way to put it.

Eargasm!!!!

This band is so underrated! Haven't found a single song I don't like, and all their videos give me shivers...new favourite band for sure!

Four letters and one sensation. OMFG !

remember back in 2016 when i saw them live in Southern CA on they're first US tour after just getting into them, solid to say theyre one of my favorite bands many years later and i still look forward to every new album (PS they played Old Souls, Let Me IN, and Ether)

God, that was intense. Good job guys!

Playing this song at work in the kitchen I had everyone even my executive chef wanting to start throwing bows love make them suffer I have turned a a lot of people into them been listening since their first EP and still not disappointed Australian death metal at its finest 😁😎

the piano makes it that much greater

I observe, that this video is the beginning of story of video "Let Me In" and that sooo awesome

My Dear Annie at the beginning of the letter hes writing. Hell yes.
