Stray From The Path "Damien" (Official Music Video)

[GletscherQuetscher]

1:20 Drum Sticks Made of Gum

[Huarmy4Life100]

Im fairly new to this band and i was wondering if someone could please explain this bands religous/political beliefs?

[tonightweride77]

whats the drummers shirt?

[HurleyAndVans]

@tonightweride77 Stick to your guns

[UHHLITTLEKITTEN]

0:27 BLEEEEEEGH

[666ricecakes]

I used to HATE the way this band sounded and never understood what the big craze was and as my musical genres expanded I stumbled upon them again and now I fucking love their music. Real shit.

[TheOnlyLoneSolja]

2:45 You sick kunt. Legit the coolest shit I have ever witnessed.

[pushcomedy]

@jacobxhellas. Fuck off please. Stray is a bad ass band.

[jacobxhellas]

Why are they so horrible?

i flagged it for lulz

[ISMFOF505]

One of the coolest songs ever

[p0o0p7861]

roflrofl 2:46

coolest think I've seen my whole life.

[StarShredder777]

I hated this band and this song before. And i can see the point now. There is too much corruption in religion now. I can somewhat understand why people avoid religion because in many cases it is sketchy. But we all come from different homes with different beliefs. Respect gained.

[neelz04]

these guys hate everyone and everything!

great musicians!

looking forward to their upcoming album =)

[MickJaggerInc]

just 24 hours till i see these badasses live...

[Adanster12]

Best band ever, Just their whole message and sound. Anti Ignorance is the way to go

[p0o0p7861]

are those rubber drumsticks?

[jonbruh]

The Westboro Baptist Church are not Christians. I refuse to be associated with them in any way. The God they blindly follow is not the God I worship.

[evilcheese439]

@jonbruh

The Westboro Baptist Church are Christians, they are probably (in a Biblical sense) the most correct Christians in the country.

[awretchlikebruce]

@evilcheese439 The word Christian means "little Christ." Christ dined with prostitutes, thieves, and others who were looked down on by the religious society of the time. To dine with someone wasn't just to chow down but it was a gesture meaning "I accept you." Jesus was not a mindless judgmental zealot. He loved the sinful through their sin. Whether you believe homosexuality is right or wrong, no one representing Christ properly would act like Westboro Baptist.

[evilcheese439]

@awretchlikebruce

Yeah... cool, because in the bible jesus says "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Mark 5:17

Which means he is okay with every genocidal, hateful, law in the Old Testament. Jesus is a dick man.

[evilcheese439]

@awretchlikebruce

Yeah... cool, because in the bible jesus says "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Mark 5:17

Which means he is okay with every genocidal, hateful, law in the Old Testament.

So Jesus is actually more disgusting to me than the westboro baptists

[awretchlikebruce]

@evilcheese439 fact is the law wasn't hateful or genocidal. Back then war was life and they were killed as often as they killed. The law was made to set the Jews apart from the gentiles and based on the Biblical worldview, laws are not created to be hateful but to guide us away from things that will eventually lead us into harm. If you want to continue this can we do it in messages. I find it disrespectful to cloud their comment wall with never ending religious debate. happens too often

[DieByMyHand1]

@evilcheese439 no, they just concentrate on the parts that tie in with their own prejudices. Fred Phelps is probably a repressed gay himself

[djdroc69]

His vocals are terrible!

[spartan346]

@djdroc69 his vocals are oldschool hardcore yelling.

[ShredAndSkate69]

@djdroc69 You're vocals are terrible, you fuck.

[Flerfan0077]

i love them so fucking much (: <3

[Ch1ckenKatsu]

fuck, this band is sickk!

[esiry432]

0:51 hide yo kids hide yo wife, best song ever

[ajdsindustries1]

finally a metal video that sticks with the point of the song

[drumsallout]

I love this band. First of all their music is awesome, their drummer rules. I am a christian, but I like this band more than a lot of these "christian" "hardcore" bands. At least this band has something to say, and is trying to do something about it. Most bands are just like check us out and are part of this trend, which is stupid

[Leuchtkeks]

Pretty cool song and clip, makes me wonder why you would tour with underoath though..

[drumsallout]

@Leuchtkeks because they asked them too. It has nothing to do with religion. these dudes are bros with For Today and their beliefs are anything but the same

[maeviie]

I saw them live atthe estk. concert ! they were so damn great ! it ws my first time hearing from them and now i love them <3 <3 <3

[IbanezKing1]

Hold down 2 for the best gay sex scene ever

[I5hKun]

I feel a RATM feel from this band. FUCKING LOVE IT.

[hanzouoftherain]

fuck ignorance. you bible thumpers and klansmen will get yours. just fucking wait. stray from the path thanks for making a fucking sick video showing these hypocrites. the song makes me wanna punch something. you're a powerful fucking band. keep it up.

[BrootalMike]

Best. Fucking. Band.

[FluMMiiiii]

do bands like this want more fame with suck videos?

[Strayfromthepath]

@FluMMiiiii lol

[IHXCIGAMER]

vox sux D:

[Strayfromthepath]

@IHXCIGAMER haha

[jacksonguitarsrule1]

Religion is starting to kill music, I can't go to a single fucking video without seeing people preaching and bitching. Seriously, grow the fuck up. Children have imaginary friends, adults don't.

[SentitneS]

Compare 0:15 with this video : /watch?v=D8xDcxluBI0

This sketch has nothing to do with the message of this song. It is actually not that important, but I just wanted to note that.

Anyway, would love to see them in Germany. Haven't had a chance to go one of their shows yet.

[Strayfromthepath]

@SentitneS we will be in germany come march!

[SentitneS]

@Strayfromthepath When will the tour dates be posted ?

[Strayfromthepath]

@SentitneS tomorrow!

[T0urniqu3T]

@SentitneS 7.4 in wolfsburg mit eyes set to kill dtm bkonk, southern weather und vanna

[Comptonjosh1]

yeah people who think that they are better then everyone else because they found religion isn't right...im christian but im not better then anyone else, we're all sinners in the end... im not going to force my beliefs down your throat, it's just not right and it's something that makes other christians look bad, especially THE HUGE HYPOCRITES...but we're all hypcorites in the end, no ones better then anyone else, and shoving beliefs down someones throat wont make you seem better at all

[2iBMX]

No wonder the worlds view of God is so bad, freaks like that are the blame. Wack. Stray from the path you guys make some dope music

[Strayfromthepath]

@2iBMX Thank you so much!

[ANTIanitmetalclub]

I'll save my breath for something real, as you look towards the sky.

[666RIPblink182]

fuck Jesus Camp. that movie was messed up and those kids are brainwashed as fuck. this video rules!

[UCABearBone]

I wish I could roll this song in a blunt and smoke it

[Strayfromthepath]

@UCABearBone hahahaha

[UCABearBone]

@Strayfromthepath best fuckin music vid i have ever seen, great job bros

[Strayfromthepath]

@UCABearBone Thank you so much!!

[arasn10]

I gotta say, I saw you guys live in February in Raleigh with For Today and Despised Icon and I had no idea who you were. But since that night, you guys have become one of my top 5 favorite bands

[Strayfromthepath]

@arasn10 thank you so much! that is the point of touring is to find people like yourself. Appreciate your support!

[chixdigjustin]

I'm a chirstian too, and I like this song. I don't really agree with alot of it though. Christianity isn't about pulling people in for the benefit of the group or whatever, it's about spreading love that God has to offer. And he's got alot of it to offer.

[Strayfromthepath]

@chixdigjustin Thank you Justin. We are not saying that this IS what christianity is about. We are saying there is something wrong with the people in these video that represent christianity and give it a bad name. This video is a shot at ignorant people and not religious or homosexual or anything else...

[chixdigjustin]

@Strayfromthepath Yeah, I totally got that from the video, and that's why I liked it. Cause so many people only think about these extremist,ignorant christians when they think us. They totally don't represent the whole group. The same goes for other groups, and those that give them a bad name. Negativity just makes more of mark on people than positivity, which sucks, but it's the way it is.

[Strayfromthepath]

@chixdigjustin Because it is EASY to be negative. (i.e. Negative and Violent)

[ANewTypeOfPunk]

@Strayfromthepath hey guys I have a question, are you guys against marijuana?

I have to say though, even if you guys are. When I'm high, your lyrics seem even more deep and powerful.

keep up the sick music boys!

[daveygraveybaby]

You guys are fucking ridiculously good.I listen to this song every day

[Strayfromthepath]

@daveygraveybaby so sick, thank you so much davey

[miniskater7792]

You guys are sick!!!

[Strayfromthepath]

@miniskater7792 thanks dog!

[xmarkizzygx]

@strayfromthepath my friends and i drove from lancaster to hollywood today to see you and litterally got there as you guys finished. we were fucking pissed!! haha. but tommorow i asked for the day off and we will see you in riverside for sure!!!

[Strayfromthepath]

@xmarkizzygx YES! that sucks, but glad your coming to Riverside

[DirkAndersen810]

I've liked your tunes before, but this solidified the reason I listen to you over other bands. Your one of the best in this genre. Come back to Michigan.

[awretchlikebruce]

I'm a christian and this video is sick. I may not agree with every word but it's very well shot and they get there point across. I am against radical ignorant religion (so was jesus) and I am not on any high horse thinking I can save anyone. I believe God can, but I have fell as short as anyone. such a good video.

[Strayfromthepath]

@awretchlikebruce this is an awesome comment, thank you for the thought we appreciate it.

[TtotheRob13]

@Strayfromthepath since i can tell you're really taking into account what your fans are saying and replying to most stuff, plan a cross canada tour! it'd be fucking sweet, and i know alot of people would love to see you guys play here.

[unhallowed45]

@Strayfromthepath

Just watched this. Never heard of you guys but I gotta say, I'm fucking impressed! Heavy shit that gets the message across. Is this a lash-out on corrupt religious organizations?

[Strayfromthepath]

@unhallowed45 Thank you so much! This is a lash out on corrupt religious organizations and ignorant people.

[angelofdeath080189]

@awretchlikebruce If you are against radical ignorance, you are against religion. That being said... who really gives a shit about what religion (or no religion at all for that matter) a person belongs to.

[awretchlikebruce]

@angelofdeath080189 religion is by definition the belief in or worship of a God, which I do not see as radical ignorance. People distorting religion into a social hammer and not thinking for themselves is what creates radical ignorance. and everyone in hardcore "gives a shit" about what religion or no religion you are affiliated with. It's about standing up for what you believe. If no one cared about controversy then stray from the path would be singing lyrics about chicks and dancing.

[1337HxC]

@awretchlikebruce

That's easily the best description of my feelings I've ever seen. Very well said.

[arqui1992]

2:45 The bassist spins

[Strayfromthepath]

@arqui1992 Trademarked by Ryan Thompson

[kmfnj]

@Strayfromthepath dudes - wow. i felt like someone had set me on fire towards the end of this song. this is the first time i've ever listened to your music, but i gotta say - fucking amazing, guys. i do believe you just made my day. i look forward to seeing you if/when you come to texas. =)

[ADyingTear]

100000% EPICNESS!

[leifman94]

is the footage of the black blocs from various countries a critique of anarchist tactics and ideology or an embrace of the ideas and freedom that those protesters represent?

[xmarkizzygx]

n@Strayfromthepath no problem guys, but i will definately see you guys when you come around l.a again. thats for sure.

[xmarkizzygx]

@Strayfromthepath this is intense!! i mean, im a very religious person myself, but i also understand its only fair to stay open minded... you guys have always been freaking siiick with not only music but the point of view you guys bring in each song.

you guys deserve the recognition youre getting.

[Strayfromthepath]

@xmarkizzygx Thank you Mark, appreciate your respect for us even though we may see differently on certain things. People like you are what keep us sane and filled with hope. See you soon I hope!

[JerseysFinestg9]

SAW YALL NIGGAS LAST NIGHT, ILLUMINATIIIIIIIIIII

[SickNastyNarwhal]

I saw you guys a couple of weeks ago at crosspoint church you guys were no doubt one the best bands i have ever heard live

and i may be christian but ignorant people like that just sicken me.

[Strayfromthepath]

@SickNastyNarwhal Thank you! We are not christian, but those people sicken me. We respect christians or any other religious person, as long as they are open minded and respectful towards others. This is not a shot at religion, its a shot at ignorance.

[KittenxisxBEAST]

@Strayfromthepath

Wow, definatly well said. I love the video and the song. You guys got my props. :P

[radicalryanyo]

@Strayfromthepath im beyond stoked to see you guys again. sept 5! any new songs?

[Strayfromthepath]

@radicalryanyo Yes stoked for the 5th! New songs as in NEWER than make your own history? no. but plenty of material from MYOH

[ShiPshapeD00d]

@Strayfromthepath You guys blew my mind the last time I saw you back in January with Winds of Plague and For Today. Cant wait to see yall again back in bama with Bleeding Through haha! Much respect!

[Strayfromthepath]

@ShiPshapeD00d best show of the tour in bama! cannot WAIT! to get fucking back. thanks for your support

[radicalryanyo]

@Strayfromthepath well i will be there. you guys and for today are my favorite bands. finally have a reason to go to a show now :) its gonna be in a very small room but small rooms are the best

[Strayfromthepath]

@radicalryanyo they absolutely are. see you then

[PureM3tal]

the vocalists prescene is sick, and the end breakdown when the drummer hits and bassists spin kicks, so good! the guitarists stomps are sick too. this band need to get to the UK!

[Temporary281]

I made an account just so I could review this video. Bottom line is that it is possibly my favorite music video ever. Its amazingly well done and it gives a very true message. I love it.

[Strayfromthepath]

@Temporary281 thank you for the support. i'm glad you found something you could identify with here

[biggoosesullivan]

this is one of the best "official" music videos ive seen in a long time.

[Aiirotsuki]

I'm still confused on the message. What are their stand on religion/homosexuality? Anti? Pro?

[AaronXStrickland]

@Aiirotsuki They used homosexuality in the video to show how ignorance leads to unnecessary violence.

[Strayfromthepath]

@Aiirotsuki We are Anti-Ignorance...we may not be religious, or homosexual or may not be anything else that people are in the video, but these people are ignorant and this is supposed to show how ignorance leads to violence. We respect what people do for themselves, whether its sexual preference or straight edge, as long as there is a mutual respect, its cool with us. But these people in the video are a terrifying group that we wanted to point out..

[Aiirotsuki]

@Strayfromthepath I see, so you're against people trying to change others based on what they think would be better for the world?

[Strayfromthepath]

@Aiirotsuki Yes when what they consider to be "better for the world" becomes "believe what I believe" for the sake of them being right. I don't believe it's any one persons right to decide and enforce what is better for the world. I also don't believe it's wrong to share what you think is correct, just as we are doing, but showing it through an act of violence is counter productive. It is also not fair to threaten vulnerable children with the consequences of a religion in order to gain followers

[Aiirotsuki]

@Strayfromthepath I see, so you are basically against trying to change others through violence and without looking at the other side of the story. Alright, I support you guys. :)

[leifman94]

@Strayfromthepath are you opposed to the black blocs and protesters as well, or do you embrace them as the antidote to the the religious ignorance featured in the video?

[raftis101]

@Strayfromthepath LOVE This song/band! you guys are amazing

but I dont really understand the song meaning? hopefully you can help me out. Are you against the protesting or for it?

Awsome video by the way.

[Strayfromthepath]

@raftis101 Hey! We are against it. This song and video is a lash out against Ignorance.

[Embracable]

@Strayfromthepath soo...you guys hated Jesus Camp haha

[Analwhiskey]

this vid is like a drug lol... cant stop watching it.. plus the song kicks hella lot ass !

[edgerrrate]

@strayfromthepath hey, you guys found a way to make us filthy rich yet?

lol

[TehWarriors]

Seems to do work for these dudez. Sftp kills everything, ending all life.

They are filthier than a bag of shit and meat left openface in the blistering sun for days

[stevebazzano777]

[Strayfromthepath]

@stevebazzano777 Awesome! please do come out!!

[TehWarriors]

dan has rubber drumsticks

[lobster272]

@TehWarriors its like a well known fact that every awesome drummer uses rubber sticks. didnt you know that?

[SandboxMagician1992]

Come the hell to Canada.

[Strayfromthepath]

@SandboxMagician1992 we are working it out now!

[Shadein]

@Strayfromthepath I would love it if you guys played in Syracuse again, the show with Sleeping Giant was intense

[fagbag2030]

@Strayfromthepath pleaseee come back to Nashville!!

[lobster272]

@Strayfromthepath Great video! Come to San Diego soon!

[Strayfromthepath]

@lobster272 hope to soon! Maybe in september...fingers crossed

[lobster272]

@Strayfromthepath ahhh. I'll be gone by September. Any chance of a Syracuse show? I'm going to college there.

[Strayfromthepath]

@lobster272 We play Albany w/ Bleeding Through, After The Burial, For Today and The Word Alive

[lobster272]

@Strayfromthepath ahhh, thats like 2.5 hours from syracuse!

[Strayfromthepath]

@lobster272 Go mother fucker, I will guest list you and that money you would pay at the door will cover gas.

[lobster272]

@Strayfromthepath uhhhh, when is it?

[lobster272]

@Strayfromthepath i dont see it on ur myspace.

[lobster272]

@Strayfromthepath so fucking tempting dude.

[twittynovak]

@Strayfromthepath Are you guys still playing the show in Jackson, MS?

[Strayfromthepath]

@twittynovak Yes we will be in Jackson tomorrow!

[lobster272]

@Strayfromthepath hey did u guys use mishas axefx for this album?

[Strayfromthepath]

@lobster272 No we did not. But we are most likely doing our next album with Misha...and will be using it then!

[uzername91PUNx]

@Strayfromthepath oh my gosh you guys are seriously one of the sickest bands ive ever heard. you sing about important stuff and its inspiring. :) but...just one question: is this song (and video for that matter) supposed to be a shot at Christianity? im just wondering

[Strayfromthepath]

@uzername91PUNx Thanks so much! this video is not at all a shot at religion of any kind. Its a song about anti-ignorance. We are not a religious band at all, but we do not have anything against religion. Same with Straight Edge, Vegan, homosexuality, or anything people do for themselves...if it works for you and you have respect for other people, than we can respect you.

[lobster272]

@Strayfromthepath hey I just wanted to know which member I've been talking to in case I wanna take your offer for being guest listed. I'm friends with all you guys on facebook, btw.

[Strayfromthepath]

@lobster272 This is Tom.

[lobster272]

@Strayfromthepath okay, if I find someone to drive me to clifton park I will message you.

[666RIPblink182]
