Abigail Williams - The Departure

[wolfman0120]

BLACK METAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­?????? QUE MAMON NO ES BLACK METAL

[CastratedWeasel]

"This is [INSERT GENRE]."

"No, you're wrong, it's clearly [INSERT GENRE]!"

"You silly faggot, it's obviously [INSERT GENRE]!"

No one gives a fuck. Just listen.

[BlacksphereMiasma]

@CastratedWeasel I agree.

[sa9s9r38ufmfm]

Love the instrumentals, not so keen on the vocals. Sounds a bit 'deathcorey' in that regards. Death Metal vocals + These instruments = amazing :P

[sgtzero1337]

Actually, this band's newer stuff is black metal though.

[hollowtongue]

guys i wouldn't call this black metal, however the influence is definately there, its too core sounding

[Jaytally89]

@hollowtongue Like a Blackcore

[hollowtongue]

@Jaytally89 thats just it, there shouldn't be a such thing as Blackcore, it's a stupid concept,

[Jaytally89]

@hollowtongue It was a joke take it.

[xXxEpicLoserxXx]

Hmm, I definitely see black influence, but I personally would call them melodic death metal. But I'm still just a novice in the ways of defining the difference between sub-genres... Great song anyways!

[anteojitus]

...Run into the night, your snow covered heart is dripping away but mine, is shattering in the coldest of winds...

[tehrapeyturtle]

Can all of the elitists just shut the fuck up? If you wanna get specific, no this is not black metal, as black metal is not just a sound but a specific philosophy. I think the pioneers of black metal are incredibly pretentious and have huge boners over themselves. These guys are doing a fantastic job of emulating symphonic black metal. If these guys burned churches and weren't from Arizona you'd have no problem calling them BM.

[HammerDimension]

@tehrapeyturtle Actually if they didn't look like a bunch of "core" fags and played something decent, then maybe we'd have no problem calling them BM :D

[tehrapeyturtle]

@HammerDimension Cool, bro. Way to be shallow.

[HammerDimension]

@tehrapeyturtle Thanks bro



[Datheavyispootis]

Beautiful.

[LordPnath]

saw these guys a while back with goatwhore, S.W.W.A.A.T.S, and daath amazing concert and it was my first metal concert ever and they closed with this song!

[BDean97]

not trying to brag in anyway, but fucking to this song is amazing!

[erickamos666]

its rare to find good american black metal

[darkfieldsofme]

@erickamos666 you're an idiot. Xasthur, Wolves in the throne room, weakling, Absu, Krallice, Twilight, Lacephale, Liturgy, of the top of my head,. this is in no way black metal. not even slightly.

[erickamos666]

@darkfieldsofme just cuz those bands you named have bad audio quality and bad rythm dont make them black metal :P this band just happens to have it better as well as their rythm and melody.

[HammerDimension]

@darkfieldsofme he said GOOD.

(absu is good but thats more black-thrash)

[mattchurchify]

Everyone in this band is amazingly talented, and not to discredit her musical ability, but the girl is...well, she's fuckin' bangin'. lol. METAL!

[gracelessdisparity]

this is Demi lovatos favorite band, who woulda thunk?

[PrinceDotPoison]

@gracelessdisparity That kind of hurt me.

[heavymetal774]

The riff right after the acoustic part just ripped me a new asshole

[AlienSpace666]

@heavymetal774 Yeah, PURE EPICNESS!

[Mandersonstheman]

i actually stumbled across them when doing a research project on the cruicible and i saw all this music stuff. so here i am lol im liking what im hereing, thanks english class

[99ominous]

This is black metal, you don't have to strum every note in a song to be black metal. They change it up which is good, and makes it interesting and not boring like a lot of black metal bands strumming 2 or 3 patterns the whole song for 3 or 4 min. They kick ass!

[frashardcore]

... AMAZING

[DeathcoreSucksDick]

Not black metal

[sgtzero1337]

IVE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS THE PAST FEW HOURS STRAIGHT SUCH AN UNDERRATED FUCKING BAND !!!!!!!!

[ikeeln00bz]

Where has this been all my life?! I'm not a big black metal fan at all, but this is amazing

[darkfieldsofme]

@ikeeln00bz shame this has NOTHING to do with black metal

[ikeeln00bz]

@darkfieldsofme it certainly isn't pure black metal, but it has strong black metal influences, no matter how much of a purist you want to be it is undeniable

[RRRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH]

@ikeeln00bz its been where you haven't found it... until now. That's how almost everything works :P

[HammerDimension]

@ikeeln00bz This is not black metal, don't worry

[username8972]

@HammerDimension to bad it is black metal!!!!!!!!! :()

[HammerDimension]

@username8972 lol no



[polopolopolo95]

Dis shit be poppin yo!

[666tedac666]

Better than the whole f*ckin Cradle :)

[PathologicGenocide]

wtf is screamo?

[DanteMelancholia]

FUCK OFF !

This is Black Death Symphonic !

[WisleyVasconcelos]

Não só o nome da banda é presença mais, é muito fhodaa

[BlacksphereMiasma]

@mullent169 They used to be metalcore and were kinda in a transitional period with this CD.

[FatesxofxthexDead]

@mullent169 Umm no Abigail Williams isn't screamo, learn to be less retarded.

[mullent169]

@FatesxofxthexDead when i hear nothing but screaming through an entire song i think screamo. so kiss my ass.

[FatesxofxthexDead]

@mullent169 I'll pass on the kiss your ass part. Unlike you (retarded piece of shit), I know music genres. If you want screamo, go to Escape the Fate or some other faggity band.

[HaHaIDied]

@FatesxofxthexDead escape the fate = not screamo ;] soo you do not know you're genres :)

[FatesxofxthexDead]

@HaHaIDied Umm no. Escape the Fate is screamo. Saying Escape the Fate isn't screamo is like saying Lil Wayne is in the Rock Genre.

[HaHaIDied]

@FatesxofxthexDead okay dude, have you ever even heard escape the fate? they don't scream AT ALL. they're all clean vocals.

[FatesxofxthexDead]

@HaHaIDied Lol umm yes I have. Their first two albums they have SCREAMING. Are you deaf? I haven't heard their third (Cause Craig ruined it), but I did hear one song, and yes, they had SCREAMING in it. And if they don't scream, explain what's going on in the song There's No Sympathy for the Dead. I guess that's not screaming, that's whispering, yeah, that must be it, whispering. /sarcasm

[HaHaIDied]

@FatesxofxthexDead yea. that's their old stuff. the stuff that sucked hardcore :) they don't scream anymore and if you count the old stuff then you're dumb because they don't do it anymore. and the new stuff i way better anyway :)

[FatesxofxthexDead]

@HaHaIDied Nahh, old stuff was better till Craig came in, Escape the Fate sucks now

[HaHaIDied]

@FatesxofxthexDead the old escape the fate did screamo, and you said screamo was faggy and so was escape the fate so you're faggotty :DD

[FatesxofxthexDead]

@HaHaIDied I didn't say I liked any of it, I just said their old stuff was better. Lolskthx

[HaHaIDied]

@FatesxofxthexDead if you're saying its better that puts off that you like that band.

[FatesxofxthexDead]

@HaHaIDied No, saying it is better =/= liking them, I said they were better, not liking them.

[HaHaIDied]

@FatesxofxthexDead you're stupid

[FatesxofxthexDead]

@HaHaIDied You're the retard saying that if someone says something is better, it means they like it, so you have no right to call anyone stupid, lul

[HaHaIDied]

@FatesxofxthexDead if you're saying something is better, it means you like it more, so you're stupid :\ prick

[FatesxofxthexDead]

@HaHaIDied Lawl, that's still not liking it, I don't like listening to them, so I don't like them, so lul, way to be retarded yet again, and you're the prick starting shit so GTFO

[HaHaIDied]

@FatesxofxthexDead i was never starting shit, i was just clearly stating a fact needed to be known.

[StormTecify]

@mullent169 this is not screamo, Thay are not singing about cutting them self and how there girl friend broke up them them and stupid shit like that. Thay are a cross between Black metal and Death Metal.

[debedimo]

@StormTecify no, you fail at your comment

[debedimo]

@mullent169 Screamo crap wtfffff??????? what are you talking about do you know what screamo is???

[lilduits42]

@mullent169 ur retarded

[AlienSpace666]

@mullent169 screamo? WTF are you talking about. This is technically symphonic black metal, but in america this is called American Black metal.

[p2psux5]

favorite AW song hands down

[ABYSMALHATE1987]

ASHLEY IS SO FREAKING HOT!!!!....I LOVE HER

[erickamos666]

Ashley Ellyllon's hot, thumbs up if u agree!!!

[UrbaneScorpion]

Went from playing really bad metalcore to playing mediocre black metal. Obtained Enslavement and Obsidian Gate are much better at this, and of course Emperor's first 2 albums.

[BlackLamb93]

Terrible, what has this world come to?

[0230630]

A+

[ShockwaveMPH]

in love with this song <3

[WeAreIndecentDemise]

Abigail Williams is brutal as fuck. And music is music. Lol.

If any metal heads wanna check out a Pittsburgh death band, check my band Indecent Demise out. We have some songs/vids on YouTube and Facebook and our EP is free to download. Check us out! We'd love to hear what you have to say.

[TheGncGuru]

these guys are great! i guess im not open minded to those gay gimmicky black metal bands, but these guys are different

[NewAgedRage]

I'm going to see Mayhem, Keep of Kalessin, Hate, and Abigail Williams in December.

FUCK YES!

[666metalsucks666]

@NewAgedRage keep of kalessin can suck my ass. the other three bands would be worth seeing. except maybe mayhem.

[timmytheeditor]

@666metalsucks666 fuck you

[timmytheeditor]

@666metalsucks666 you sir are a fucking faggot. have a nice day

[RaykuProductionss]

fuck you world

fuck you satan and god

[BlokPartyProductions]

There only good because of the piano, other then that the mixing and screaming sucks dick.

[KrispySn1p3r]

@BlokPartyProductions yes

[IHateBrokencyde]

Deathened Black Metal?

[TheHorrorOfYig]

This is the most pathetic excuse for black metal I've ever heard - besides Cradle of Filth, that is. These guys should have left the U.S. black metal to bands like Von and Baphomet's Horns.

[darkwolftheavenger]

@TheHorrorOfYig I KNOW, N0T TRVE KVLT, BVRZUM IS ONLY TRVE BAND!!!11!!111

[upelt]

@TheHorrorOfYig this isnt their newest stuff though. in their newest cd they keep it traditional black metal this is more of symphonic black metal like graveworm

[Totaemuegerli]

Alestorm feat. Ken Sorcereon of Abigail Williams: "Death Throes of the Terror Squid"

I love the ice-cold vocals on an Alestorm song \../ Yarrrr!

[slyaina]

:P

[HoeDizzleFoShizzle]

Sorry to be picky dude, not sure if anyone else has noticed but they're from Arizona not New York.

[BlacksphereMiasma]

@HoeDizzleFoShizzle Oh I know they were originally from Arizona. But the band had based themselves in New York during the time of the recording of the CD and when I had made this video. They’re actually now based in Los Angeles, so time to update the info! Thanks for watching.

[fatguyaaron]

@BlacksphereMiasma Actually, It went, Arizona,Chicago, New York?, L.A. I have played metal on the Arizona scene for over ten years.

[blackheartsbirth]

Hey check out my new song! I'm a solo death/black metal artist, Its called Cancer Of The Earth, Thanks! All Feed back is welcome!

[Fuckrap111]

this band is not deathcore its black metal not deathcore this band does not have breakdowns i looked it up on wiki and listen to all there songs clearly

[werty9009]

@Fuckrap111 into the ashes has a breakdown..

[AnonPartyVan1]

@Fuckrap111

Its like a mix of Black Metal and Melodic Death Metal

[WorldEnslaved]

its so amazing to listen to this talented musicians,this si my favorite song of the album

[ComeThruMurkin]

Apparently the chick on keyboards has some obsessive nail biting thing going on and the ends of her fingers are all gnarled up as a result.

[satanpie666]

@ComeThruMurkin lol that's so metal. she should play anyway

[420ibanezz]

@ILiveForTheRofl Cant compare artists bro thats impossible some bands are always better at certain things

[thefrikenboob]

@ILiveForTheRofl justin beiber. (im fucking kidding btw).

[DKonstantin17]

awesomeness, if you don't like this then something is fucking wrong with you.

[BringerOfTruth123]

@DKonstantin17 agreed. I think this is the BEST Abigail williams song.

[thefrikenboob]

this shits gay.

[wesleychezz]

@thefrikenboob so ur saying this "shit" likes other "shit" of the same gender? 

[c0que10]

This is one of the most beautiful songs.

[corpsebuffet420]

this song is so good i could kill myself to it

[brettwolf55]

This song isn't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on

[MisanthropicMisery]

Hail Satan

[Mikeskiboshskiisme]

The Crucible

[dayidify]

Shame the keyboard player is gone. She's really good and handsome....

[justpunishment]

Abigail Williams is originally from phoenix, Arizona.

[acebelowhearts]

Great dong for those who read The Crucible.

oh and if you havent i would'nt sugest naming your kid that who ever posted that :P

[Mikeskiboshskiisme]

@acebelowhearts lol, yeah Abigail Williams is kind of a bitch

[twilliams5486]

cool song. cool band. my daughters name is abigail williams!!! lol i didnt even know there was a band w the same name haha. the acacia strain is better lmfao!!!!!!! especially the video for skynet.

[heavy7665]

Ashley plays in both

[EpsilonX]

Man, I always expected these guys to sound like Winds of Plague or Whitechapel or somethin....way off

[ThyArtIsDeathcore]

@EpsilonX lol yea.. Mitch Lucker from Suicide Silence loves these guys.

[chelseagrin66]

@ThyArtIsDeathcore so does Mark.

[ThyArtIsDeathcore]

@chelseagrin66 Good screen name. Chelsea Grin is among my favorites... i don't give a shit how "simple" they are.. they are sheer brutality to the core. If you like them and abigail williams, you will probably like thy art is murder (which is where i get my screen name from).

[garretts431]

One of the best symphonic bands out there.

[Udontgetmymetal]

Kick ass band, hoping to see them in march.

[MMorales424]

Abigail Williams the name of a character in The Crucible. I read the play and watched the movie earlier this year in school. It's about the Salem Witch Trials.

[MsHookerface]

for the people that don't know what the letter is at the end, it's about an actual girl in the 1600's named Abigail Williams who was the accuser of many people during the salem witch trials.

Fucking. Epic. Band.

[clickster7496]

I don't understand why this band is so unheard of. I can understand people not liking their early, early stuff or their new stuff, but ITSOATS is one of the most brutal, melodic, haunting metal albums of all time. But I guess their unpopularity is what makes them special :)

[sleeksleeksleek1]

:D

[Bloodgulper31]

I was just pissed so scratch that below...i hate pirates an will never be 1 ....LONG LIVE PAYING FOR MUSIC!Hopefully by paying for their time and effort they will con to put out awesome music...again sry for last post ,i was pissed!

[Bloodgulper31]

My accout just got deleted cause Abigail Williams flagged my 20 second video of them live...said it was copyright infringment..lolo.ololo ..that i paid to see.... so fuck them ...im gonna go torrent all they music from now on and fuck buyin or paying to see them ever again

ps...they still kick ass

[BlacksphereMiasma]

@Bloodgulper31 Aww, well that sucks. Sorry to hear they did that to you. I am just trying to promote their music as I'm sure you were. By no means do I wanna have them fade into obscurity.

[MONKEYJAW89]

@Bloodgulper31 no man, the record companies flag them and threaten youtube by saying they will sew them and youtube then delete it. its not abigail williams' fault.

[kd7end]

@Bloodgulper31 damn that sucks

[alphaking300]

@Bloodgulper31 That was probably the label not the band. Labels are like that.

[glowyrm]

@Bloodgulper31

You realize that it wasn't the actual bands fault your video got flagged, right?

[ChapelOvBlood]

@Bloodgulper31 why would they waste their time on youtube just to flag your video. they have better stuff to do.

youtube and the record companys are the ones who take the music down, not the bands. so dont blame them

[iou69er]

@Bloodgulper31 sometimes bands dont realize we do it out of love.

[electronikita]

@Bloodgulper31 Its a dick move if its true.

[IamElSatan666]

@Bloodgulper31 it obviously wasn't the band dude, it was probably their record company

[ComeThruMurkin]

@Bloodgulper31 I can understand them taking down full songs and albums but an audience clip of them playing live is ridiculously petty. That's just kicking shit at their fans and also shooting themselves in the foot in the process. Cunts.

[shadow1854]

@Bloodgulper31 That has nothing to do with Abigail Williams.. Their record label pays Youtube to shut down any copyrighted material.. live videos being one of them. The only live videos I have recorded are shows I played, or when I got the permission. It sounds stupid, but rules are simple and common sense.

[MrCl1nt]

@Bloodgulper31 I don't think it was them, I think it was their record label. You should still support them if you really like them. The band members themselves probably never meant to ruin your fun.

[NebirosAndWinter]

So who here likes Immortal?

[BlacksphereMiasma]

@NebirosAndWinter /

[hxcthrashing]

@NebirosAndWinter Immortal > all other black metal

Even though i do like Abigail Williams

[BringerOfTruth123]

@NebirosAndWinter who the fuck DOESN"T like immortal? I have all their albums. They are amazing.

[darkwolftheavenger]

@NebirosAndWinter who likes black metal, but doesnt like immortal? haha

[summitthescale]

The piano/symphony at the end is what makes this song a complete epic adventure. Are these guys still together? I haven't listened to them in about 2 years or so. I know they went on an indefinite hiatus after the Legend Ep but I haven't heard much about them lately.

[BlacksphereMiasma]

@summitthescale Yeah my favorite part as well.

[PaloAltoMetal]

@summitthescale they just released a new album

[archadia212]

@summitthescale yep, they're still together. i saw them live with vader recently, which was what got me into Abigail Williams. they are SO good live.

[chelseagrin66]

@summitthescale

Unfortunately their drummer left and they lost their keyboardist somehow too, she is the one who sings in the soft part.

[summitthescale]

@chelseagrin66 Yeah that sucks. I hear he drums for Derepit Birth now or something. I know the original keyboardist Ellylon (or maybe the second one that joined) plays in a band with Dan Briggs of Between The Buried and Me. Totally not death metal though, still refreshing though.

[Xeroth16]

@summitthescale she plays for cradle of shite now

[summitthescale]

@Xeroth16 The other one does at least. I know one of them is with Dan Briggs, the first one maybe? I don't know. They were both FOXES though, am i right?

[confettiembolism666]

@summitthescale yeah, samus was touring with decrepit birth. they just released one last year so he hasn't recorded for them yet (fingers crossed)... but yeah, that's true.

[lotsametalandhumor]

@summitthescale yea they are still together, they are on tour with mayhem right now. I may be seeing them in november :) i just heard of them because they are playing with mayhem, AMAZING BAND.

[r3dz0mb1e]

@summitthescale Yeah they're still together, my girlfriend's brother just saw them in Phoenix haha

[ZachMetalAsFuck]

@summitthescale Just saw em about 8 hours ago, theyre still together \m/

[ZachMetalAsFuck]

Just saw these guys last night, first time hearing this song, Loved it.

the part at 3:36 sounds just like the riff from she never noticed by vehemence < listen to that song at 5:10 its so similar just not black metal. which is funny considering at one point the members were exactly the same between both bands ...

[curseyouare]

only i get 2 or 3 days listen up this bad and i m, think they sound is so perfect..

[fofaometal]

Abigail é FODA

[GuttedAtBirth]

they are now only a three piece and more black metal!

[Faze390]

Actually, they are from Arizona. Not New York. But they are located in New York now.

[satanpie666]

2:55 is my favourite riff to ejaculate to

[xplosivelilly]

the music is nice, but too much screaming!!
