  • A life, like mine, in which you have completly lost sight of your dreams and your ability to fulfill them is so fucking painful and is a suffering on a scale unimaginable. Never lose sight of those dreams.

  • don't expect them to thank or forgive you

  • Like Cyrus, I was sent away to a boarding school as a teen; not a normal boarding school, but one for people who aren't well, like Cyrus. I was just lucky enough to find myself in a good place, one of the best in this world. They never punished me for dreaming. Rather, they taught me how to dream again, when I was in a really dark place that I didn't know how to escape from. That school inspired me to offer what I can to others. I hope to spend my life reaching out to kids like Cyrus.

  • hail satan

  • @Johnny3Tears4E What if it's meant ironically?

  • HAIL SATAN

  • Comment removed

  • This song was posted on my birthday.

  • @Johnny3Tears4E Y'know it's hilarious to me just how many Jesus freaks manage to play the "Holier than thou" card whilst maintaining the grammar and mastery of the English language equivalent to the monkeys they refuse to acknowledge we evolved from.

  • @Johnny3Tears4E you're a fag.

  • shut up and enjoy the music! No one cares about your opinion, its just a fantastic song...

  • wtf!!!

    

  • I had to respond to the Christian kid who hates this song. Yes, it really isn't about Satan, and you know what, its actually ragging a little bit on people who think Satan is cool. But hey, I'm sure you're the best ever Christian from Monowi :)

  • @Johnny3Tears4E Satan is my lord and master. I anxiously dream of my entrance into the depths of hell. The infernal ecstasy of fire and blood delights the shit out of me. what about you?

  • saten can suck my fat cock and his followers can go fuck themselves

  • @timelord20XX ur stupid ur just gonna goto hell and when you get there ur gonna wish u werent

  • HAIL SATAN

    

  • Occupy a boombox.

  • oh shit so the song name is the best ever death metal band and the artist it the mountain goats? that was a dope song hahaha

  • Why would I want to LISTEN in HD?

  • One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

  • lmfao

  • 39 people don't Hail Satan

  • @AbctsnV2 hail satan!

  • and the Killers became SUCH AN AWESOME BAND! 8D

    But...they're not death metal...? :P

  • @psykokimera This song was made way before The Killers ever formed

  • @memarmoo There's a recording/video floating around somewhere where John sings "And the top three contenders/which have since been ripped off"

  • Great shit.

  • HAIL SATIN!

  • expected a different kind of song:o

  • Hail Satan!

  • you did...retarded giraffe vid is satans little helper.....chump

  • you did...retarded giraffe vid is satans little helper

  • hail satan

  • good thing the top commenter compltly fucked up that quote

  • lolololololol i love in the tags for this video it says ''vagina juice'' xDD <3

  • It's shit like this that I'll listen to when I'm an old man and all the kids are listening to nothing but music made by computers while I still want to hear the crude thoughts and simple recordings made by an overly observant and thoughtful human being. It's good to be human. I hope the world isn't all mechanized or overly religious shit when I die. Keep it real.

  • @ScienceMystifies too late man...too late

  • Get over the 'hail satan' part. It could be the best ever male figure skater from Texas, and it could say 'KEEEEP SKATIN'! KEEEEP SKATIN' TONIGHT! SKAAATE SKAATE!', but it would still mean the same exact thing as best ever death metal band out of Denton.

  • This song isn't really about Satanism. If you think that, you're looking at it too literally. This song is about dreams and rebellion. Jeff and Cyrus were two kids who strongly believed something, and people who didn't understand tried to crush their dreams. Inevitably, they failed, because if someone dreams something so powerfully, like Jeff and Cyrus, that dream, that spark of hope, can never be extinguished.

  • tonight, HAIL SATAN!

  • I love this song so much.

  • This song isn't about the promotion of Satanism. It's intended to show how crushing someone's dreams, especially that of a teenager full of angst, can lead to rebellion. Too many of you are listening to the lyrics without interpretation.

  • This is the first time I have cried when someone said hail Satan.

  • The song is obviously not actually about anything involving Satan, why is there even an argument?

  • @Paradigm6790

    What do you mean its not about anything involving satan??

    to me this song is about artist(maybe certain artists in particula) selling their souls for fame and riches, which many artists have supposedly done over time and is very common.

    listen at 1:02.

    Says they though they were going to have lear jets and fame and be on stage, therefore "making the use of a pentagram" , or selling their souls.

  • @KP0830 It's nothing to do with "selling your soul". It's about 2 guys who had a dream. They loved death metal, and they wanted to form a band. They were misunderstood (by people who assume pentagrams equate to deals with the devil) and ground down to the point where their dreams went up in smoke.

  • uh this is death wears the screaming

  • HAIL SATAN!

  • Comment removed

  • @wetlipse3 For the lulz.

  • @nilzardo i dont even what i wrote, how can you see the comment if it was removed.... can you remind me what i wrote?

  • @wetlipse3 I guess you said "why?" or something like that. Ah, it doesn't matter.

  • @nilzardo yeah i had started to listen to the song, and i was reading the comments, and so some like hail satan and i was like why? i thought people were trying to be like "im cool, hail satan" my bad, i hadnot listened to the full song, i get it now, awesome song

  • 1:48 is my ringtone.

  • For all of those arguing about the meaning of the lyrics:

    The song is about Jeff and Cyrus, who are the best ever death metal band in Denton. They dream of fortune and fame. Cyrus gets send to the school, where they tell him he'll never be famous. Jeff helps him plot revenge. HAIL SATAN!

  • This song isn't reall about Death Metal, or Satan, or any of that. It's about hopes and dreams, and how no one should tell you you can't reach your goals in life. "When you punish a person for dreaming his dream, don't expect him to thank or forgive you." - that line could be a quote from any great rebellious leader in history.

  • @DeathMetalThunder yep, sounds like what I'd say in a song. lol

  • there revenge against the school was spray painting hail Satan on the school. theres nothing cryptic here

  • The HD sounds great! Thanks for the upload!

  • Comment removed

  • is this the jesus convention or did i take a wrong turn at the retarded giraffe video

  • I know the lyrics are, "best ever metal band out of denton," but when I sing along, I say Denver because this song reminds me so much of Columbine.Any chance 'denton' is a combination of the words dever and littleton? It's probably coincidence that that school is in Jefferson County and this song is about Jeff and Cyrus. Cyrus the Great had an empire larger than Alexander and created the"Immortals,"an elite group of fighters; his accomplishments definitely have outpaced and outlived his enemies.

  • Erik Rutan (Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal) Produced the new Mountain goats album John Darnielle loves death metal.

  • @alexs1105a

    Here's hoping your move past that outlook. It's a place so square that Paul Lynde resides at the center of it.

  • @alexs1105a

    You know little.

  • @alexs1105a no words to describe how dumb that statement was

  • HAIL SATAN!

  • HAIL SATAN!

  • Im a satanist. This song has no message of satanisim. It Is just simply showing that he is being a rebel and rising against what everyone wants him to do. If I were to tell you "Not another word" and you said "Word" That is what this song is doing, its him doing exactly what he is expected not to do.

  • @Havtehbuggy correct me if im wrong, but ive gotten that vibe from most music portrayed as "satanic"

  • this is the most evil thing i have ever heard ever

  • HAIL SATAN!

    

  • 24 people don't know why they don't thank or forgive them.

  • do you mean Denton, Texas? Well, anyhow, I was moved by the lyrics.

    DEATH METAL RULES! You are all wrong about this song. It really is about

    DEATH METAL! Accept the bloody truth! In the spirit of the song, I shout forth

    HAIL NACHO!, er...SATAN...why do I keep thinking about nachos?

  • do you mean Denton, Texas? Well, anyhow, I was moved by the lyrics.

    DEATH METAL RULES! You are all wrong about this song. It really is about

    DEATH METAL! Accept the bloody truth!

  • saw you hanging around in denton

    and i noticed that you're gay

  • Just got back from their concert in Baltimore...they got 2 encores where they played No Children, This Year, Broom People, and to finish it off none other than this fantastic song! Great night.

  • I was there, it was amazing! I was sitting in the balcony thing, 10 feet away from him! That song made my night. The guys from Megafaun promised we'd get to hear it and I was a little disappointed when they left the stage but then those 2 encores just made it so much more awesome.

  • @sheepskinfuton

    Absolutely!

    I was in the main area, center-left-ish, as far back as the second support beam in the audience.

    Such a good concert!

  • *Jedi hand-wave* these are not the mountain goats you're looking for.

  • fuck this i thought this was metal, fucking fags

  • @LilDeezy65 Your name implies that you listen to nigger music. I'm confused.

  • @RANDOMCOLLISION Well you're a scumbag Nazi cunt who deserves to die.

  • @LilDeezy65

    dipshit! Enjoy quality when ever it comes on. Close minded asshole! Yeah i m all for metal man, metal saved my life but shit! there is more to music then metal. Learn to listen before you juge.

  • How does this have anything to do with Vagina Juice?

  • Not metal at all.... LOL fail

  • @GameStudiosNL

    LOL FAIL!!!!!!!

    ITS NOT DEATH METAL SO IT MEANS THE SONG IS AUTMATICALLY BAD!!!!

    TIME TO GO BACK ON /b/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @RANDOMCOLLISION rule one and two, dude.

  • Hail Satan!

  • "Guys, satan isnt in a pick, or an insturment, he's right here, in your heart. Satan is the thing that makes you not want to exercise, not want to go to work, or that little voice in your head that says "Fuck You" to the people you don't like.

  • @RagtaWagta I like Tenacious D's movie too!

  • @RagtaWagta satan is not real get over it

  • Your statement is true, in the matter of fact, that the whole world itself could be in fact not be real. In that case it appears that the reality as well as the unreality appear to be real. If you are capable to determine what kind of existing things exist, therefore real in every single aspect, you could consider yourself as an honorable man.

    But I guess every existing human entity will die first.

    So all in all lets catch a beer and love the music like this song above;)

    Hail stuff!

  • @RagtaWagta Man that was beautifull :'D

  • @RagtaWagta I thought the shitty conditions at work are what makes you not want to go to work.

    Are you saying Satan is my supervisor, because that would explain some things?

  • @RagtaWagta The guy in Black suite in Pick of Destiny?

  • hail satan! great song our dark father will reward the mountain goat with the eternal flames of burning hell, unhallowed be thy name.

  • Comment removed

  • holy crap I almost cry'd, but I don't know if that song was so funny or so sad. Thank you, Mountian Goats for making me feel........ something.

  • hail satan

  • Sometimes you just have to lock yourself up in your room and shout "HAIL SATAN" at your wall.

  • Best lyrics ever?

  • hail satan

  • cyrus was a little pussy who got sent to catholic school.

  • satan's fingers. lol.

  • Also I'd like say... vagina juice as a tag?

  • Not exactly what I expected. Although it is pretty funny because me and my band are going through the same shit.

    Hail Satan.

  • I just read the tags and...why?

  • I think it's hilarious to suggest that listeners play the song in HD, when it was likely recorded on a boombox using headphones as a microphone.

    Hail Satan.

  • Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahaha hail satan bahahahahahahahahahah

  • omg....now i need a new user icon :P

  • great song! isn't that why we're here, to share in enjoying this hilarious, heartfelt and incredible piece of songwriting and musicianship?

  • great song! isn't that why we're here, to share in enjoying this hilarious, heartfelt and incredible piece of songwriting and musicianship?

  • great song!

  • Denton texas is full of pussies and hipsters, just like Austin...You faggots don't know shit about metal so stfu. Suck a ick you bitches

  • @TheGreenPlague Insect Warfare is from Austin...

  • @extmalcolm who gives a shit. Texas is full of faggots and pussies.

  • @TheGreenPlague Cool story bro.

  • @TheGreenPlague

    you lose.

    it's sarcasm/irony mr blunt superficial macho metal head man.

  • Finally, all the pointless comments aren't about the song and some stupid shit like metal genres. It's all about trolling, which in essence, is absolutely nothing entirely. This page just made my life.

  • hail satan

  • I just screen capped this mess and entitled it "Villadavid4ever Berates John Darnielle and The Mountain Goats for Allegedly Promoting Satanism through Word and Song, all the While Distancing Himself From Religion Altogether."

    That's the longest title I've ever come up with for a screenshot. Go me!

  • Fuck Satan! Hail Santa!!!!

  • I love death metal. I love Satan. And I love The Mountain Goats! Hail, hail!

  • HAIL SATAN TONIGHT!

  • @villadavid4ever but you COMPLETELY missed the point here.

    The song isnt about "worshiping satan" he could of sung about liking tootsie-roles and would have made the same point.

    the song is about "when you punish a person for dreaming his dream,

    don't expect him to thank or forgive you" (but expect them to resist you)... hence him hailing Satan. (hailing satan is Cyrus resisting the ones who sent him away because he wanted to become a death-metal musician)

    so chill out with the rage comments.

  • @villadavid4ever Did you ever think that they might just be saying that in support of the underlying point? just like the song does?

    like i said, "hailing satan is Cyrus resisting the ones who sent him away because he wanted to become a death-metal musician".

    Hailing satan in the context of this song is simply resisting people trying to oppress you, doesn't matter if you like death metal, or tootsie rolls.

    ktnxbye.

  • @villadavid4ever the point of all that shit was to make you rage. mission accomplished.

  • @villadavid4ever life must be kind of hard for you, eh champ? try to keep that off the internet.

  • @villadavid4ever And so what if someone says "Hail Satan"? It's their religion. Calling it evil is downright bigoted. And inb4 'hurr durr it's Satanism' because clearly you know nothing about the religion.  Christianity has done more damage to the world than Satanism. An idea cannot be 'evil'.

    Also, before you start calling me an idiot trying to be cool, I'm an atheist. AC/DC and other bands aren't trying to brainwash you into a religion which isn't at all that bad to begin with.

  • @Phibins hey im a christian and i like deth metal. its not all anti religion, its an awesome style of music.

  • @Phibins but that is still super retarded

  • @pppoooppp

    Do you just not understand the irony?

  • @Phibins I thought this song didn't really have a moral it was just more of a joke. But yeah that guy definitely needs to calm down either way XD

  • @villadavid4ever Yes. I'm so sure this band is promoting satanic religions, especially because they have an album that every song is based off a Bible scripture. Yup, that's what convinced me.

    /sarcasm

  • @iamemilyrosex And what´s the point? Your sarcasm doesn´t make you cool, so..

    So what if they have songs based off some Bible scriptures? Does that make them supporters of Jesus Christ? They´re even worse. Promoting religions is bad.Only fags fo it..

  • @villadavid4ever TROLL!!!!!!!!!

  • @razorlikeblue Oh yes I´m very rude. Kill me.

  • @villadavid4ever *ahem* TROLL!!!!!!

  • @razorlikeblue *cough*..So?

  • @villadavid4ever TROLL!!!!!!!

  • @razorlikeblue Thanks for helping me trolling. *sigh*..it really means soo much to me!

  • @villadavid4ever Really, I helped you troll? I what way? I simply textually yelled troll at you repeatedly. I really don't care. For your "trolling" to be effective, it must elicit an actual emotional response from me. Which it didn't, far too transparent. I just wanted to yell pointlessly at you. Also, now people will ignore your comments seeing as how you openly admitted to just trolling. I don't really see how I aided you. I fucked your mom, fag. That is all.

  • @razorlikeblue damn straight sir.

  • @razorlikeblue Comments like "I fucked your mom, fag" don´t really offense me. Every stupid kid says that.

    Ánd actually no, I wasn´t trolling. You´re the troll, actually. You´re the one who yells pointessly.

  • @villadavid4ever I'm glad it doesn't "offense" you. Besides, you admitted to trolling, and now you're trying to cover it up. You silly bastard. I yelled troll to amuse myself and you bit into it. I troll trolls, it's what I do. But you're boring now. That is all.

  • @razorlikeblue No I was just joking. I´m not trolling. Actually, we could stop this conversation, because it´s worse than trolling. I don´t see anything funny in yelling "TROLL!!!!" anyway.

  • @villadavid4ever I never said sarcasm makes me cool. In fact, it does the opposite, and I'm aware of it. All the "cool kids" don't even undertsand sarcasm..

    And wow.......... I was just saying, I'm pretty sure they're not promoting Satanism. And I take that offensively, because I myself am a Christian (and I hate it when people use that word. Unless they mean cigarettes, which in that case it's not offensive to anyone, so... yeah..). I mean, I don't throw it in people's faces, but still.

  • @villadavid4ever

    FFFUUUU I missed the thumbs down

  • @villadavid4ever Also you have to realise that satanic religion has much better sets of rules and morals than some other religions. Its not as bad as you'd think. Read something every once in a while.

  • @extmalcolm "Read something every once in a while"...wow, very smart one! The Nine Satanic Sins 1. Stupidity 2. Pretentiousness 3. Solipsism 4. Self-deceit 5. Herd Conformity 6. Lack of Perspective 7. Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies 8. Counterproductive Pride 9. Lack of Aesthetics Satanism is pretty stupid, and why should anyone adopt an evil religion? All religions are pretty bad, but satanism is the worse..
  • @villadavid4ever Hahahaha. I mean stupidity, pretentiousness, solipsism, self deciet, herd conformity, etc. is all good right? Atleast its not a sin to be gay, black or a women. You're just listening to the general public thats going "Hey, in some story book a crazy person wrote Satans bad!" They don't sacrafice anything or anyone. I mean there is fighting over almost every or probably all religions but atleast they try giving some good values (except for when they tell you destroy someone).

  • @extmalcolm Did I say that it´s a sin to be black or be a "women"?

    If it wasn´t evil (and have nothing to do with satan), if wouldn´t have been called satanism. Anyway, you´re talking aboyt LaVeyan satanism, not theistic satanism. (the sins were also Laveyan)..Most of the Black Metal and Death Metal bands which are satanist are theistic satanist. They actually worship satan and demons and are into stuff like black magic. (black magic is in Laveyan satanism too)

  • @villadavid4ever First off I know of plenty death metal and black metal bands that don't worship satan. You're thinking of swedish (I think) death/black metal. And I was saying that Christians take a story book the wrong way and say its bad to be gay, and black and that women ar inferior to men. Either way who cares what they worship as long as they don't hurt anyone. I mean we all know religion is a lie anyways. All religion is evil.

  • @extmalcolm I was thinking of the norwegian bands..most of them are theistic satanists. And exactly, all religions are evil (maybe not Buddhism though). Religions are just a way to control stupid people.

  • @villadavid4ever you'll regret this when lord satan rises up from the abyss to devour the world and eviscerate the nonbelievers (hail satan)

  • @squibblyflabbetydoo

    HAHAAHAH

    Satan rises, yeah.

    a normal man questions the existance of god and surely doesnt belive in his existance in physical forme. and your talking bout the rise of satan?

    Somebody needs to blow you dude, show u there is some love in this world!

  • @villadavid4ever wow, you are an idiot. a complete tool. this song is great.

  • @villadavid4ever Haha I sincerely hope this is a troll you fucking idiot.

  • @villadavid4ever Do you want to know what REALLY makes people like satanic stuff? Amy Grant, The Jonas Brothers and pompous, self-righteous, judgmental assholes like yourself!

    You basically just wrote that the Church lies to you, so what makes you think they aren't lying about Satan and Hell, too? If you're going to log on and behave like an idiotic dick, at least TRY to make a thoughtful statement in the process. "...wise enough" my ass!

  • @loserbrett

    Hey loserbrett, I know we haven't talked in awhile but I want to remind you that you're awesome

  • Thumbs up if a Hank Hill reference to Denton persuaded you to click on this...

  • I can't believe I was once a member of a comedy novelty metal band. This song reminds me of the guy who I was in the band, who was pretty self aware about how silly black metal feuds like Mayhem really were. Rock on, guy I knew from high school. Rock on. \m/

  • HAIL RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE!

  • yay this song
