  • lol theres absolutely nothing bm about this track, its straight up riff rockin metal, so fuck off with saying whats bm and whats not this track clearly isnt

  • THIS IS THE SWORD!!!! Goddamned it sounds fucking nice!!!!

  • @Hunt3rable - Stop being an OP

  • I love how so many people take black metal so seriously. SATAN, ODIN, CHURCH BURNING, MURDER. it's fucking hilarious. the only reason you cunts where corpse paint is to cover up your acne. like straight edges, have a beer and get laid. it'll change your perspective

  • @elrondhubbard69 *wear. This band is not black metal IMO not because they didn't burn down a church but because it sounds like a washed up shitty stoner/doom metal band

  • @seanmacman15

    I'm not defending them.my point is any thing under the black metal label is hilarious. Traditional black metal (BM) are a joke as much "trancendental" BM (that treatise is hilarious). Take away the satanism, and "extreme" BM was made up by poseurs and mentally deranged fucktards (burzum/euronymous). Compared to say, GG Allin (who is a fuckhead), they were playing make believe. About Liturgys music. They may be BM next evolutionary step. If it doesn't change it will die

  • @elrondhubbard69 Black metal needs to go the way of Deathspell Omega. Extremely esoteric, dark, chaotic, and terrifying. The hipsters have plenty of genres that they have fucked up already.

  • @elrondhubbard69 so traditional black metal was made up by "Poseurs"? im confused and as far as satanism goes the majority of traditional BM bands were not satanists (not even Euronymous was) and I sure wouldn't compare them to GG allin theres a difference between making "extreme" music over shitting on stage I wouldnt even brand the word "Extreme" to how these guys acted but by the musicianship just like death metal was considered "extreme "

  • @elrondhubbard69 and Liturgy is most definitely not the next evolutionary step there's alot of modern BM bands that concentrate on the musicianship not stupid gimmicks and terrible quality music I don't understand why these guys get so much attention some interview they did ? fuck knows fuck cares

  • @elrondhubbard69 I'd rather drop some acid and steal a tiger from the zoo.

  • @mamaloney1

    If black metalists started taking acid, that would be something special. they might get some colour in their rather drab lives. imagine the black metal equivalent of sgt peppers or smile!

  • @elrondhubbard69 I think BM is beautiful and creative enough without acid. However, I do also like sgt pepper's :D

  • @elrondhubbard69 No one who takes Black Metal seriously actually follows Satan, Odin, or thinks the church burnings and murder were a good thing. Mainly because anyone who takes Black Metal seriously realizes that Norwegian Black Metal, in which most of that shit takes place, only has a handful of good bands out of every 100 shitty ones.

  • @ThazuaBlackarrow

    Then why do black metal fan seem to lack a sense of humour

  • @ThazuaBlackarrow

    I don't understand how you can actually take black metal seriously. its great, but fucking hilarious!

  • VEEERY GOOOOD music.....Hails from Greece

  • All you categorizing hating douchebags really just need to shut the fuck up. Either listen to the music and like it, or don't. Liturgy is made up of "hipster" looking guys who rock their instruments with passion and talent. What of it?

  • Like it or don't like it, whatever. Just don't pick it apart and criticize it due only to what others have categorized it as.

    99.99% of music is complete garbage. You want something to hate, turn on the radio.

  • Seems there are a lot of librarians here.

  • /puts on sweater vest

    /inverts cross

    /makes shitty music

    Props 2 veinz of gawd tho. Such a creative title. I wonder how they came up with it. Its liek so dark and brutal.

  • respect other's styles. enjoy your own and appreciate other's. this musical piece has some nice ideas. haters gonna hate. metal haters i hate you!

  • thisissodifferent.idigit.imgon­nablogthis

  • Just judging by this song, it has more roots in doom metal or sludge than it does in black metal.

    Great sound regardless.

    And I've never heard of a "black metal elitist" before. Sounds like butthurt.

  • What does it matter what you are (hipster, thug, or black metal elitist) music is music plain and simple, and it's free for anyone to listen to. I wear a suit to work and listen to black metal. Music is music.

  • so let me get this straight...black metal purist are mad because this has been referred to as "black metal"? does any of this really matter? if you like it, listen to it. if you hate it, piss off, this wasn't made for you.

  • This is shit

  • This song isn't black metal at all. This is just a horribly boring attempt at stoner/doom metal.

  • more like "veins of a penis"

  • Here's how I feel: if you actually hate the music on its own terms, fine. But if you seriously hate this band because the front man is pretentious or has different opinions about music than you do, yet have no problems listening to music by a white supremacist murderer... well, that's kind of hilarious. (Nothing against Burzum's music, by the way... I just find it funny that hipsters are apparently hated more than racist killers.)

  • @stekan1131 Good voice! (nobody wants to be a hipster, me too, anyway)

  • @stekan1131 Burzum sucks anyway.

    It's all about early Mayhem, Darkthrone and Faustcoven. Norwegian Black Metal isn't exactly all that great. Maybe if you're like.. 13 and haven't heard Blasphemy yet.

    But Hipsters should be hated, they're like Scene Kids back in 2005.

  • It's catchy and all, but not a great Black Metal piece in the slightest.

  • Just enjoy the fucking music or get the fuck out, already. I love Burzum, Borknagar, Blind Guardian, Scriabin, Wyschnegradsky, Bartok, Muse, Bach, Tool, Vintersorg, John William, Metal Gear Soundtracks. Stone me to death for being open minded. Fucktards.

  • And this was considered number 1 metal album on so many lists for 2011.....No

  • Hipsters, stop ruining Black Metal. Thank you.

  • Comment removed

  • @Hunt3rable

    Sorry, dude!

  • @Hunt3rable Ohhhhh noooo Pitchfork reviewed this so that automatically makes this Hipster metal now! What ever are we going to do?! .......Fucking purist

  • @killacam206ickxxx The members of Liturgy are hipsters. Put two and two together.

  • @killacam206ickxxx well im a black metal elitist you hipster fuck and you and your damn v neck t wearing, coffee shop dwelling, mac book carrying, no lense glasses, self proclaimed music nerd fucks will never be catagorized in relation to the true and harsh sounding BLACK METAL.

    so fuck off and die

  • @WolvenLair Elitist are fucking idiots. Here let me re phrase your sentence for you "Well I"m a Black Metal Douche-Bag and fuck all of you people who are different than me." Music progresses into other sounds and there is NOTHING you can do about it, so quit being butt hurt about other people liking Black Metal. If people didn't take our own spin on things life would be boring you should have learned that in grade school but i'm sure you had dropped out by then.

  • @WolvenLair lol bro. chill the fuck out.

  • @WolvenLair oh shit we got a badass over here

  • @WolvenLair Just seems like you're butthurt that there's people out there enjoying black metal without wearing corpse paint and gauntlets with nails sticking out of them. Genres blend and evolve. If you take away the imagery, lyrical content and how the bands/fans themselves dress it's hard to find a lot of distinction between some black metal, death metal, crust punk, metalcore and even screamo/skramz bands. Stop pigeonholing people and attacking them for not being like you. Fag

  • @KingJiffTheJust You wanna know a big similarity between Death Metal, Black Metal, Crust Punk, REAL Metalcore and pretty much every and all Metal and Punk music?

    The strong hatred for posers. Which is what Hipsters are.

  • @ThazuaBlackarrow If someone who regularly dresses up like a hipster showed up to a basement show all punked out then yeah, they're a poser. But a hipster is not by definition a poser. Semantics.

  • @KingJiffTheJust They're trying to make Metal music. They aren't Metalheads. Ergo, posers. Trying to be/do something they aren't/shouldn't be doing. Non-Metal fans, trying to be Metal musicians.

    They're making soulless "Metal" music. Metal music without the attitude and spirit behind it. It's empty. It's shit. It shouldn't even be called Metal. It's like trying to make Punk music without that anti-commercial, DIY Punk style. Doesn't work.

  • @KingJiffTheJust Troll don't know what skramz is, believe me, Pg99 ftw!

  • @cthulhupunxmusic fuck you HIPSTER! bow down to my throne! drink form the goblet of NALGROTHEN! i will send my wolves after you.

  • @WolvenLair Oh, it's this faggot again. How does it feel to be 12?

  • @mamaloney1 how does it feel to be born ugly? look its not my fault you were born that way. blame your parents not me. however theres plenty of things you can do to keep your mind occupied like correcting and bugging people about musical knowledge.

    AND YOU ARE FUCKiNG OBSESSED WITH Dso. you tell me im ironic? your just fucking ironic yourself! You bore me with your pathetic replies/comments. say something different for once you fucking cocksucker. you must still be pretty angry

  • @WolvenLair Go jack off to gorgoroth, you fucking furry.

  • @mamaloney1 wow.so this is your new job. following me like a parasite.

    look...IM SORRY I MADE YOU CRY. however you can take your mind off this by doing other daily activities! go masturbate to pictures of girls you'll NEVER have! blog about new fun hipster oriented ideas! play world of warcraft! that should keep you busy! how about BLOGGING! oh i just mentioned that. but i didnt mention sex with your mother. look man, she might be the best your gonna get. PLUS theres always gay bathhouses too.

  • @mamaloney1 stop using gay or faggot as an insult or I'll rape your holes, one by one, do you comprehend me breeder?

  • @cthulhupunxmusic Pg.99's the shit

  • @Hunt3rable finaly someone who agrees with me. im a black metal elitist and i spit and piss on this garbage but dont worry hipster cunts will never get what they want.

    DIE HIPSTERS!!!!!!

    BLACK METAL IST KRIEG!

  • @Hunt3rable i listened to all kinds of metal before i became a hipster so go fuck yourself!

  • @kazz1967306 No one in their right mind would ever become a hipster willingly. They're a bunch of mainstream-loving, trendy morons. The only difference between them and their Brostep-loving siblings is that they decided to ruin Metal and Punk instead of an Electronic music.

  • @Hunt3rable fuck you!! jajaja

  • @Hunt3rable spoken like a true queer, get your panties out of a bunch nut hugger.

  • @Voorheeskc rofl, well said

  • @Hunt3rable Ha! Metalheads are the ones who have turned into a bunch of chin-strokers while 'hipsters', it seems, will listen to anything uncritically. Bad developments for all parties.

  • @Hunt3rable this is not black metal

  • I don't care what genre they are, how they dress, or how kvlt they are: This music is awful.

  • Sorry that Hunter Hunt-Hendrix has some intellectual views about black metal, this album was both face tearing and beautiful at the same time and the best metal released this year

  • fuzz metal?

  • Comment removed

  • Did the first 3 minutes keep skipping because it seemed like the same 10 seconds over and over and over and over....? ZZZZzzzzzzzzz. There is no talent in this song at all. I can play power chords for 8 minutes.

  • haha this is not black metal this is just boring shit and if youre defending this music then youre aloser, go try darkthrone, mayhem, emperor, satyricon , venom, etc if you want the real stuff and grow the fuck up

  • @shithead2415

    This guy right here knows how black metal works. Good taste, sir.

  • YOU MEAN BANDS CAN SOUND DIFFERENT FROM THE GENRE IMPOSED ON THEM!?!

    Gee whiz. I never would've thought.

  • This band is gay as fuck. If more people knew about Lja i swear you'd never listen to this crap. SO here, Ljå - gjort til djevel youtube it bitches

  • @SkeletonLoversBoning not a single good melody in that whole song, thanks for the ruined time

  • @kareeji judging by your video uploads and musical tastes your life is ruined time lmao

  • black metal is elitism, TROLL ON MY FRIENDS!!!

  • Black metal is one of the most innovate genre of all time. Just listen to this or anything by Ulver, Burzum, Alcest , Summoning .. etc.

  • Okay, so why is it important whether this is black metal or not? Someone explain this to me, cause I honestly don't see any reason why I should care.

  • such a sweet main riff. so good to chill out too, it envelopes you whilst you listen to it.

  • ha, loving the irony of the gentle snowflakes collecting at the bottom of the video.

  • I think what people seem to forget is the fact that this guy pretty much shit on all of his black metal influences and acted like he was above them all.

  • in fact this reminded me of bongripper

  • I kinda dig this, the main riff reminds m e of Acid Bath or something.

  • i feel swans around here haha

  • Wait, I thought Liturgy was supposed to be a black metal band, but this sounds more like doomy/sludgy-type stuff. Granted, its not too bad.

  • Death metal heads are by far the most elitist, close-minded listeners about their genre, smh. This is progression, and it sounds fine.

  • @LukePluto BLACK METAL BLACK METAL BLACK METAL BLACK METAL BLACK METAL

  • @LukePluto "Progression" should mean moving forward, not backward.

  • Too plastic sounding. I likes my black metals raw. It's listenable though.

  • My metal is more metal than your metal.

  • @blotchy67 my pain and sadness is more pain and sadful than yours

  • Who cares how the band members dress? The singer is a huge, annoying, pretentious cunt, though. Annoying, stupid bandmembers shouldn't keep one from listening to a band, though, otherwise I wouldn't be listening to Deathspell Omega (and those guys are the most pretentious bunch of knobgobblers ever).

    That being said, I don't like Aesthethica. Renihilation had a rather unique atmosphere and energy, but this... I don't know. It just lacks that special ecstatic feel and just feels forced.

  • I don't care what all of you think. This is a good album. I may not agree with everything that they stand for but I do agree with some and I think this album is great. It's all about the music man!!!

  • If you do even the slightest bit of research into the band you'll find out that their music is 'experimental' black metal.

  • Someone get Varg on the phone, he needs to murder these posers STAT!

  • @genemeyer408 lol you dont know varg :P

  • To all of you bashing on everyone criticizing this band, keep your tits on. It's a legitimate criticism; this band isn't very traditional, or very similar at ALL to black metal. Their affiliation with the hipster scene doesn't help. inb4 "UGH LABELS R SO CLICHE." It's a real stereotype. This isn't good as far as black metal goes, maybe good in it's own right, but it's crummy black metal.

  • i was told this band had something to do with black metal? am i mistaken, or is this sludge?.....not black metal.

  • Not very original at all, I don't get all the praise.

  • @rambadibow

    seriously

  • im glad i didn't judge these guys until i actually heard their music or i probably would have lost out on a great band. as pretentious as they might be i can hear what it is they mean and i dig it. Definitely a solid track to jam to when you're in one of those really deep spiritual highs.

  • I don't find this boring, i find it alright.

    Listenable, at least. I guess i'll have to listen to the whole album to make up my mind.

  • Not sure what all the dislikes are for, this track is solid and engaging. Stop conflating the people in and around the band with the music itself.

  • some of the music is good. i just dont like how stuck up and pretentious the members are. the entire "manifesto" was completely unnecessary

  • This is ok..kinda boring. I'd rather listen to the first band called Liturgy that came out in like 2003. Some good ol guttural death :)

  • @Tardsnake can u send me a link to one of the band your talking abouts songs? i like death metal more than this

  • @yimnerr If you look at the suggestions on the sidebar , there is a song by them called shrine of moria. They play deathgrind shit. Not bad, a good listen from time to time.

  • Does anyone know what kind of gibson sg this is?

  • sounds like Meshuggah put out a "Black Album"

  • I was led to believe this was "transcendental black metal"? Sounds like boring dun dun dun riffs to me.

  • not everyone understands this. and that is fact that we must carry on with. deep music is not for shallow minds

  • hard core

  • why are so many posts on here about how these dudes dress and how they aren't "real black metal"...... are you fucking sheep that close minded? if you don't like it, don't listen, if you're a troll then you're a loser anyway, and if you're one of these fucking fools who argue about genre on youtube...you are missing the point of ALL music.

  • @M1keF1tzPatr1ck I know right its so annoying how people talk shit or argue on here about bullshit on whats good and what's not, people like what they like and people can make whatever kind of music they want. Jeeze people seriously need to get a life on here, seems like they write on here because in real life their losers and no one gives shit about their opinions so they go on here to rant. That's why we have genre for music to make our own sound, dang people on here need to get a life

  • @M1keF1tzPatr1ck They aren't "real" black metal. That doesn't mean they're bad (I think Renihilation is a great album, this one is okay), they just don't play straight into the genre. That's fine, it's their niche.

  • @zgates

    I think that's the way to view liturgy. Black metal influenced but not black metal.

    It's not big problem. I really, really like Greg Fox. I wish there were more drummers like him in metal.

  • My only beef with this band, personally, is their basically complete lack of originality in the music and that laughable manifesto they released with the album. I couldn't give any less of a shit about how they dress or whether they ar tr00kvlt or not.

  • @M1keF1tzPatr1ck

    well it really ain't real black metal, but it sure is good :D

  • @M1keF1tzPatr1ck

    well heres an actual reason. musicians like me study metal, and honestly, this sounds a lot more like Mastodon than any 'black metal' I've ever heard, however it's the first song by them I've heard.

  • It is just music. Get a life!

  • Comment removed

  • I agree about this being BAD MUSIC.

    It is boring, and sounds like Soundgarden, I thought these assholes said they were amazing?

  • I don't find this boring. I think they took an interesting turn. Personally, the black metal fan in me likes Renihilation better, but this is still some heavy shit.

  • I think Renihilation is just too far better than this

  • Parts of this is really good but parts of boring as hell. strange

  • nice gay ass doom riffs dumb little hipsters. I thought you guys were supposed to be ultra prog black metal. LOL.

  • Good shit, but how the fuck is this black metal?

  • lol guys i'm going to go listen to korn now

  • sounds like silverchair! good job!

    assholes

  • STONER!!!

    

  • Tim and Tom Butler, the Wonder Twins will be performing at Teazer's in Ogden tonight! Come sing with them or get some free dance lessons

  • I prefer Grails.

  • I have personally labeled these guys hipster noise. Not because of the way they look. Who gives a fuck!? Corpse paint is pallid and weak anyway. This song is cooler than the other shit I have heard from these guys, but it is a tad boring.

  • if you guys like this, you should check out Swans. old band in the 80's, they started this shit, even this pretentious stupid album cover rips them off

  • the instrumental has the most likes out of the videos I've seen, nobody likes the singer

  • stop over analyzing every possible aspect of music. you either like it or you dont. either way stfu

  • Uh... babe my comment Means that I enjoy Liturgy in spite of how they appear/act...

    Oh, and I was like referencing the like, 'Scion Rock Fest 2010 Liturgy Interview video,' which like you should like watch if you like like paradoxes b/c Liturgy like, expounds how like their music is like black metal that's like, a like rejection of black metal and like, romanticism is like interesting and stuff.

  • Ah, I understand. I'll give them more of a listen, but I'm generally not a huge fan of BM/Drone.

  • Actually, if more Liturgy were like this (doomy drone, semi-catchy riffage) and not the "black metal" they are known for, I would probably dig this band's music.

  • @unspeakablecults What's wrong with black metal? xD

  • Does transcendental black metal mean that Liturgy can transcend their Brooklynite hipster pseudo-intellectual douchebaggery for long enough to make some good fucking music? I think so.

  • I'm not too particularly keen on this band either, but doesn't dismissing a band entirely simply because of the band's fanbase or what kind of clothes the band members wear make you just as pretentious and uppity as the "hipsters" who keep you away from this music? Very paradoxical.

  • @Hoodedfigure831 no because in this day and age a bands sense of representation is as much a part of the music culture as the actual sound.

  • I've seen the interviews and I know they're pretentious but, in all reality almost all black metal fans are similar. Seems to me like these guys get a bad wrap for dressing like hipsters and not wearing corpsepaint.

  • @Hoodedfigure831 i'd say they just dress like normal young people lol, fuck corpse paint too

  • @br00talKidHxC Yeah. It seems like the black metal community's problem with them isn't what they dress like, it's what they DON'T dress like. Lame either way.

  • @Hoodedfigure831 That is absolutely not why people dislike this band. Most of the good artists in the USBM scene have already given up on the "uber kvlt" aesthetics and ideologies.

  • @zarucarsha That's just how I've observed it. And if you can speak for the entire US Black metal community and tell me why people hate them, then please shed some light.

  • @Hoodedfigure831

    Because they're really boring.

  • @Hoodedfigure831 I'll speak for the USBM community: people hate Liturgy because of what they represent--hipster dilettantes. If you go to a WITTR show & there are five guys in leather jackets and 100 guys with fixie bikes & skinny jeans who do you think is true, i.e. lives & breathes BM, & who do you think is following trends in counterculture/likes WITTR "ironically"? --It's a parasitic infestation, & that's why people detest Liturgy. (That said, I think Renihilation was a solid debut album.)

  • @CarolvOdd

    I've been to Krallice and WITTR shows lately. Krallice had the most traditional metalheads in the audience. WITTR had a lot of hipsters and they attract a lot of punks too but they had a fair numbers of metalheads in the audience. I was at a Liturgy show recently and it was indie fag central lol but I still liked the music! Basically : don't like their image and crowd but i really can't complain about the music. I enjoy most of it quite a lot.

  • @ogunsiron2 Heh, I thought I was going to get a response saying I shouldn't speak for others or that it doesn't really matter what you look like-- which is legit too. I was just trying to make an (oversimplified) example for why Liturgy draws so much hatred. But yeah, none of that subculture distribution surprises me, and essentially I completely agree with you (slash jealous b/c I couldn't make it to WITTR this tour).

  • @Hoodedfigure831 not really, this is just bad music. Holy Shit just look at Wolves in the throne room, they are all flannel, tree hugging vegan hipsters yet they write music a BILLION TIMES better than this heaping pile of shit.

  • @Hoodedfigure831 No, it's hypocrisy and we should know by now that hypocrisy blinds.

  • @Hoodedfigure831 too true. alot of people seem to suffer this paradox

  • @Hoodedfigure831 way more about the fact that they're stupid enough to say the things they say in front of cameras and journalists. He can have some half-baked, massively pretentious and under-developed "philosophy of transcendental black metal" that he raped the thesaurus to write off somewhere in his bedroom---but when he put it into the public eye it cost him a lot of potential fans. Including this one--because some of the music is decent.

  • @Hoodedfigure831 And you can't deny that paradoxes are fucking awesome.

  • this music is so brutal, i jump off my office desk into the copier, and accidentally hit my head and broke my arm. When i regained consciousness i was in the ER, and they told me i was slumped over my couch in my moms basement, with a belt around my neck and my arm tied to a door knob.

  • @AlwaysBeKilling Alright, well my favourite type of music is metalcore and hardcore. I like stuff like August Burns Red, Attack Attack!, Abandon All Ships etc, but theres no magazines in the UK that cover those kind of bands :/ looks like im stuck with Kerrang!

  • @SamParryHD It's because the music has to be METAL to make it in there. Metalcore isn't metal, it's pseudo-metallic hardcore crap with cut wrists and broken feelings. Sorry, but somebody had to be honest about it.

  • @MorkaGraven Well its not really. If you knew anything about metalcore you'd know that barely any bands sing about 'cut wrists and broken feelings'. That would be post-hardcore (which is also good) or shit like Greenday, MCR, Fallout Boy etc. Sorry, but you clearly have no knowledge about the genre.

  • @SamParryHD Post hardcore as in ACTUAL POST HARDCORE and not just Emos trying to find an alternative label for their generic music I find quite enjoyable. As far as I'm aware, Fugazi don't care for self harm and depression.

    Post Hardcore in it's modern sense is a lie, just like the cake.
