  • Bring back this album to Spotify, please!

  • @Korpasjaervii

    It wasn't our call. Century Media have taken all of their bands albums off. We didn't have a choice :(

    Paul

  • @DSHSpaul

    That's really too bad! If you made the music it should really be your call and not theirs!

  • My favorite post-hardcore/ambiance band ever.

  • @iheartlownotes

    That's very kind of you to say.

    Paul

  • I saw you guys with Underoath awhile back in Sheffield and yh, I thought you were brilliant (better than Underoath who're kinda dull tbh) I didn't know what to expect but you're music is awesome, it has a really epic/empowering sound to it :)

  • @MrWiggerdale123

    Thanks. I'm really glad that we made a good impression on you and that you like what we're doing.

    Paul

  • @MrWiggerdale123 - I was in Sheffield aswell but I had to stay with my gf watching the Blackout instead of going to see DSHS! :S Promised mysefl id see them wherever next year tho, and I did buy their T-shirt while I was there :)

  • U K Metal rocks..........

    Devil sold his soul & Rinoa rock

  • 4 dislikes can sell there soul to the devil !

  • woo seeing them with UNDEROATH! going to be amazing

  • You guys are epic, soo stoked for seeing you guys with Underoath in april X'D

    Paul

  • The beginning of this song slowed my breathing.

  • What a great band!!!

    Would be great if you come to germany sometime ... Berlin would be awesome. :)

  • @schnati1983

    We played in Berlin for the second time just before Christmas. I'm sure we'll be back again soon.

    Paul

  • @schnati1983 Die kommen zu Summerbreeze dieses Jahr ! Das ist in Dinkelsbühl also gaaaaanz weit weg von Berlin :D

  • @0bock

    Thanks for making the effort to travel such a long way. It should be good, which will make up for it ;)

    Paul

  • nice song... ;)

  • This music is absolutely spot on :) You guys were amazing on the Architects tour, and I can only imagine you'll be amazing yet again next month on your headline tour. Definetely both mine and my girlfriend's favourite band right now. See you on the 3rd Feb :D

  • @JoshSTides

    You're too kind!

    Paul

  • I actually love you guys!

    Im coming to stalk you in exeter ;)

  • simply amazing. they seriously have created there own unique genre thats an absolute pleasure to listen to. this album is much better, not sayin the other 2 were bad but this one has much better recording sound and equipment.. im glad to see them getting bigger.

  • This song gave the word "Epic" a whole new meaning *-*

  • This song gave the word "Epic" a whole new meaning.

  • This is one of the best songs I've been listening to recently, it's just..great! Love it

  • This is one of the best songs I've been listening to recently, it's just..great! Love it

  • This is one of the best songs I've been listening to recently o.o just..great! Love it

  • To Me I feel ya'll have created an entirely new genre of music. That me, as an Amaerican, you all have kicked out my love for "Post-Hardcore" Music like "The Devil Wears Prada" Or "We Came As Romans" I mean, Ya'll have your mix of. Metal, and Alternative. WELL! and then I feel like theres an electronica feel in there... but yeah. Ya'll are going a fantastic job. Keep It Up! Come To The USA! and play for us In TEXAS! Ya'll are seriously my Favorite band now :DD

  • @IKeepTheRythem

    You're too kind. I'm glad you like what we're doing and that people are starting to come around to it.

    We'll be over as soon as we can.

    Paul

  • will be going to see you guys in norwich on 14th feb, you were awesome with architects

  • @kinggyp134

    Thanks! Bring all your friends ;)

    Paul

  • By far one of my favorite tracks at the moment. Guitar work, vocals, bass, drums, etc are so good. The only thing that got me was the lyrics to it, don't get me wrong they're alright, but could have been better. Such a solid band though, and I'll be sticking around for a while.

  • Seriously one of the best UK bands for years. Blessed and Cursed is easily my favourite album of 2010, so powerful, uplifting and original ! A Fragile Hope was a good album but you made a massive step up for your next release !

    So angry I missed you guys playing with Rinoa, would have been the perfect gig.

    Can't wait for the 2011 tour !

  • @mlceltic

    Thanks for the kind words, so nice to hear stuff like that - it keeps us going.

    Sorry I took so long to approve your comment, my account went a bit nuts. All good now though.

    Paul

  • i fucking love you guys, love to sit and put your stuff on and write! best uk band, and hopefully are on one of your uk tour dates as a support!

    mikey

    in your honour

  • @inyourhonourhc

    You're too kind.

    Paul

  • this... this is pretty badass!

  • loving the vocals

  • They make the nicest music ever.

  • everytime i go on youtube and think of what to listen to i always go to my favs and click on this

  • Fuck! Listening to blessed & cursed for the first time just now simply awsome!

  • just stumbled across you guys fucking epic music!

  • Comment removed

  • Saw you yesterday in Winston in Amsterdam! Totally awesome!! I hate my country for not seeing how good you guys really are!! Please come back soon! You guys make me high like no drug ever can! keep it up

  • Just came back from Winston in Amsterdam. Awesome Performance!! I hate my country for not seeing how brilliant you are.. please come back soon!! You're music makes me get high like no drug can!

  • I should be seeing you on January 31st.....

  • so so good man, fell in love with you guys after seeing you at Architects.

  • a friend recommended this band and i must say i am impressed :)

  • I can't think of anything to say to describe the brilliance of this band....just....bloody fantastic.

  • @Jessicaish95

    Thanks! Really glad that you like what we're doing.

    Paul

  • I found out about this awesome band via youtube. It was a live performance with Architects. At the moment I heard the first song I was addicted. The new album is My fave album ever. I have been starting to love the post rock sound for just a few months but i love it so much. It's like the only kind of real pure music to me. I'm gonna see you guys in The Winston in Amsterdam the 3rd of November I cant wait :D thanxx for making such awesome music!

  • i'll see them in some ours and i'm soooo happy *-* i love you guys! :)

  • i saw you guys last night on last date of architects tour.... wow. i have so much respect for you. your music is magical. Everything about your sound is brilliant. I love the mix of ambient sounds with metal, its genius. i was blown away last night, well done guys, keep on bringing in such awesome tunes.

  • YOUR SO FUCKING CALLOUS

  • Cant wait for tonight (9th of October) Is going be an amazing set from you guys been following you for sometime. Love Darkness prevails album . Keep going guys you are wicked.

  • Cant wait for tonight (9th of October) Is going be an amazing set from you guys been following you for sometime. Love Darkness prevails album . Keep going guys you are wicked.

  • OOOHHHH MY GODDDDD

    this is music!!!! keep it up!!!

  • I'm in love. Really. This & and the rest of the CD have extremely beautiful lyrics.

  • I fucking love you guys, you totally breathed a breath of fresh air into this completely redundant and repetitive world of music. You have such a fresh 2000-2003 post hardcore scene feel which in my opinion was one of the best eras of music. I can't wait to get a chance to see you guys live.

  • @CouchIsLegend

    Thanks! You're too kind.

    Paul

  • Another great newcomer(?) band!!! I like your music :D

  • sick

  • hey..... come to America... please?

  • Dang, I really fucking want the cd version of this album, mp3 don't quite cut if for me, but amazon says it's out of stock, were can i get it??? awesome, just discovered u guys, and this is just mind blowing cool.

  • @Devaprakash777

    Really glad you like what we're doing and that you want to get your hands on the CD.

    It should be getting released in the US soon and should also be available direct from us on our web-store soon too. I'll see if I can find out if you can get it anywhere else.

    Paul

  • @Devaprakash777

    You can get it from our label: cmdistro . com (take out the spaces)

    Paul

  • @DSHSpaul -OK, thank you very much, I will order it as soon as my parents give me some money to do so:)

  • extremely good song, really great, reminds me a lot of Converge, and thats one hell of a good thing!

    im definitely getting an itunes card just for buying this album, unless i manage to find a physical copy of it... yeah, not gonna happen

    but im definitely picking it up in itunes!

  • It most definitely is - we're massive fans of them.

    It should be getting released in the US soon and should also be available direct from us on our web-store soon too.

    Thanks for the support!

    Paul

  • Bought the CD and it's been in my car player pretty much ever since. Its another stunning record. Your music gets a lot of compliments from friends & family. Nothing beats having an actual copy of an album of this high quality and having the artwork in your hands. Keep up the great work.

  • Thanks! Really glad you like it. And an even bigger thank you for actually buying a copy of the album and not downloading it for free - it's that support that's going to keep us afloat.

    Paul

  • screwed the shit out of me!!! 0:52

    ON MAX VOLUME!!

  • lol :)

  • broakback mountain!!!!!!

  • I don't have words to describe this album....its like I was floating alone in the space with the cold sun increasingly far behind me. Okay! Maybe I listened Drowning/Sinking a little too much.

  • I'm glad you like the album. Spread the word about DSHS and get people buying the album, so we an keep going.

    Paul

  • This album is the dogs bollocks. Best album i have heard in a long time.

    Keep it up.

  • Loving the use of the phrase "dog's bollocks" :)

    Paul

  • very epic trac... this album promise to be very good. Like another guy say, there is bit of Envy in it, but somehow different + a slice of Buried Inside + your own touch= a good track... In any case you sound like what i like to listen to at the moment... so keep on rockin guys.

  • Guys, Im a big Envy fan, I bet you know those Japanese musicians. I must say that some of your songs remind me of their universe, the structures, similar feelings I have with Envy & DSHS music...

    I don't want to say you are like them, of course a lot of things are different in DSHS and that's what I love. From "Darkness Prevails" to this new one, I love the way you've progressed. Haha I just love your music, I'll get Blessed & Cursed in store as soon as I can. and can I get a vinyl copy?

  • Envy are a really good band, so it's a massive compliment to be linked to them in any way.

    Would be really cool of you to buy a copy of B&C instead of just downloading it like loads of people seem to be doing - every sale help us keep our heads just above water.

    No vinyl copies have been made yet, but watch this space.

    Paul

  • this album is brutal and yet beautiful in so many ways....an awesome followup to a fragile hope...i just discovered these guys about a year ago and they're songs take me through so many levels of emotion and agression...hope you can post the new album soon...

  • I wasn't so sure about this song at first, but it's really grown on me. I've had the album a week and it definitely gets better with repeated listens and will surely be one of the best releases of 2010. Right now I love the first 3 tracks, as great as the final 3 on 'A fragile hope' . Nice one DSHS, Keep up the great work!

  • love this album and music. Keep the music like this please

  • I love this...!!

  • Im gonna see you in england next to architechs and norma jean..

    your band reminds my musical roots..

  • I cant stop listening to B&C album..And especially 'Tides' (the 1st track of the album) gives such a sweet feeling. Its completely different so its my fav :)

    From Russia with love, Paul =*

  • I'm really happy that you like it. We're trying to book a Russian tour for September at the moment, so make sure you get everyone to buy the album or we wont be able to afford to come over.

    Paul

  • Paul...

    This shit is fucking amazing. MINT.

    Sweden anytime soon? :)

    Much love, bless jah.

  • Thanks! Well glad you like it.

    We'll be over as soon as we can.

    Paul

  • Sounds a bit "Middle of the roa" to me

  • It's a shame you feel that way. Would you care to expand a little?

    Paul

  • wow, i discovered this band today in a magazine, and i decide to youtube them.

    And wow, they're amazing !

    Come to Belgium !

  • Thanks! Glad you like us. Which magazine was it?

    We're playing JC METTEKO, Mechelen on the 2nd of Nov ;)

    Paul

  • @Diegofersure

    UP magazine.

    and amazing !

  • My other half and i fell asleep listening to Blessed & Cursed on repeat :) x

  • one of the most interesting bands out there imo

  • I love Ed's clean vocals. There's a slight hint of a UK accent coming through. It's nuts!

  • is this wat they call 'emo metal'?

  • Depends who "they" are.

    We don't call ourselves 'emo metal' lol :)

    Paul

  • A Fragile Hope carried me through some dark times and though those times have passed I'm sure the new album will be equally as powerful. Sick work, guys.

  • blessed & cursed is my favoroute album of all time. for real.

    love you guys so much (: . and i'm seeing you again on 11.10.10 :D. I cant wait!

    this album = pure brilliance. i suggest everyone on this page to buy the album. its worth it :D.

  • This is my favoroute album of all time for real.

    im seeing you guys 11.10.10 :D.

    will be the best day of my year! cant wait!

    ps. this album = pure eargasm.

  • this makes my soul groove

    amazing music

  • One of the best bands today period. The musical style is way beyond any other band/musicians. We need more great music like this. Fantastic song & I know its gonna be the best album of 2010. Keep up the amazing work! ;D

  • Bought from itunes today :) so worth the good quality and you guys seriously need to read the lyrics they are mind blowingly good!

  • Stunning, as usual! I'm looking forward to hearing the whole album, ordering today. I can hear shades of Underoath, Isis, Cult of luna, among others but it still sounds like no one but DSHS, one of the few heavy bands my girlfriend also loves too. Keep up the great work & hope to see you live in France, come to the south! cheers.

  • Seems like your girlfriend has very good tastes ;)

    Paul

  • @DSHSpaul Haha yeah thanks good taste in men (ie me!) & music! Seriously though, cheers for the inspirational music & all the best with the album (and tour) the second of many I hope.

  • Hey there! This is the first time i heard of DSHS ... and hell yes, this sounds great. I'm a huge fan of Isis, Cult of Luna and stuff and this album seems to be slightly influenced by bands like these, but DSHS got their own unique style. Love the mix of athmospheric postrock / ambient with the anger of hardcore shouts. Amazing! Keep going making music, I'm exited about what DSHS is going to sound like in the next years.

  • Honestly you guys, ya'll need to expand to America especially with Merch.. I want all the albums!! :(

  • We're doing a complete overhaul of our merch store at the moment, and a US and Canadian release date should be set very soon :)

    Paul

  • A Fragile Hope was awesome. This is moving forward, developing themes and pushing musical boundaries. Don't mess about - tell your mates, and buy in warehouse-sized quantities. It's about time DSHS got wider recognition.

  • A Fragile Hope was awesome; this is even better. Subtle developments in every area. 10/10. Don't mess about - buy this - it gets better with every play.

  • Love it! Especially how the vocals are more prominent, they felt a tad drowned out on the last album, like the vocalist was struggling to break through the noise. (Which i liked and annoyed me in equal measure. . . . All in all still magnificent!)

  • you have alot musically in common with heights.

    loving the sounds

  • I cannot believe someone likened this to a load of metalcore bands! Jesus wept some people are ignorant. New album is so, so good! Loving the Envy vibe on the song Frozen.

  • Its been a LONG TIME since I have listened to an album and LITERALLY CRIED!! Blessed & Cursed is THAT good!!!

  • what happened?

    there are 400 other metalcore bands from which you NOW dont differ that much

    : /

    hope the other songs are better.

  • It's one out of ten tracks. Just ask marv3llous ;)

    Paul

  • @DSHSpaul

    i hope that they re more experimental.

    cause that is what made your previous albums so awesome.

    still good job there : )

  • I think you'll be pleased when you listen to the whole album.

    Paul

  • @DSHSpaul hey paul, seen you at Download this year, fucking unbelievable!!!!! when you hittin Northern Ireland? we need you over here!!!

  • @pepdawg1989

    Sorry for the slow reply, I only just spotted this comment.

    Thanks! I'm glad that you liked our set at Download. We've been trying to get over for ages, just can't get enough support to get us over.

    Paul

  • @DSHSpaul tbh dude don't listen to him, you still sound so much more unique than those bands, new track sounds immense!!!! love it :D

  • An Ocean of Lights, A Foreboding Sky and Truth Has Come stand out to me as best songs on first 10 listens of the new album. And ofcourse Crane Lake which is probably my all time favourite song of DSHS along with Sirens Chant.

    I hope you guys never break up because your music is so-so powerful and i cant imagine the time when i wouldnt have your new album to wait for!

  • I'm really glad that you like the album.

    Paul

  • I have no words to describe how incredible the new album is ... out of this world!

  • Dammit.......this is so awesome. I am SO gonna hijack one of the delivery trucks to get my hand on one of your albums......and despite i would give the driver the retail price I think I'll go to jail for this....however, then I got time to listen to your awesome music......Sounds like Deal ^^

  • best "deftones-like" band of all time

  • So excited for the new album 12th pre-ordered from amazon

  • Bristol Anson Rooms. FUCK YES.

  • i saw you guys at ghostfest in leeds, after waiting since i heard you. I used to listen to Mahumodo aswell. I've followed you guys for quite a while. Ghostfest was the first place i saw. I threw up from pitting that hard lol. WHERE CAN I GET ANY MERCH AT ALL? I looked on big cartel but there is about 3 items :( I love DSHS!

  • "threw up from pitting that hard" love it :)

    We're in the process of moving our merch to a merch company, which should improve things. Sorry about there not being much stuff up at the moment.

    Paul

  • like porn for the blind..

  • lol :)

    Paul

  • fucking incredible, that drop at 1:56 is an orgasm to my ears ;]

    you are such a consistent band, very excited to hear the rest of the album. only album i've ever pre-ordered. the effect your music has on me and evidently everyone else that's posted is one of kind. really something special, lovin ed's vocals too, i think they sound much better than before

  • fucking incredible, that drop at 1:56 is an orgasm to my ears ;]

    you are such a consistent band, very excited to hear the rest of the album. only album i've ever pre-ordered

    Beautifully epic, its like getting ripped apart by angels.

  • cant wait for this album going to be sick can i order from the website? and are there any tours coming up soon in the uk? apart from ghost fest and download... anywhere near luton?

  • It's on pre-order through Play etc at the moment, but I'm sure we'll be selling it through our site once it's released.

    Full album tour after the summer.

    Paul

  • @metallicarule777 lol use the net mate - not hard to search myspace/their official site - better than taking someone's word for it on here

  • @infeted14 lol I think he can trust what I say is true :)

    Paul

  • @DSHSpaul yeah fair enough mate!!! I know it is true too - just i've been told a load of rubbish on here before lol and didn't check it up! missed out on all shall perish tour cause I was gullible

  • @infeted14 Will I can't talk for anyone else on here, but if something comes from me, it should be right. If not, there wont be any samples at the show lol :)

    Paul

  • Amazing!!! I cant stop listening to this! I have seen you guys 3 times not and I cannot wait to see you again with this material! Roll on July 12th! So full of power and amazing chord progressions!

  • Sounds Sick. Worth every second of the wait.

  • I'm really looking forward to this album. I love A Fragile Hope, & what with this track and Crane Lake, I'm sure the new one won't disappoint! I'm not hearing anything wrong with the production either, I think it sounds great.

    Y'all best come back to Manchester on your next UK tour too! Haha. I missed you this most recent time, but caught you the time before.

  • Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love this!! It's epic as f*ckkkk! This is why DSHS are one of my favourite bands, especially live. I'm so excited to hear the whole album!

    Marianne Harris - UK music photographer

  • Much different from your other tracks prior to this release, although that's what I had hoped for; I for one love it! The opening to this track just makes me want to punch a small animal.

  • I can't believe that some are not in agreeance with their new track?! LOL Personally, I listen to this track every day and can't wait for the album if this is a sign of things to come!

    Awesome work dudes.

  • Fucking slamming

  • This is awesome as expected! Nice one guys, now I really can't wait for the album!

    You thinking of playing around the UK again later this year? I'm gutted I missed you in Nottingham last week.

    Good luck for the launch either way. Peeeeeeace.

  • Full album tour after the summer ;)

    Paul

  • honestly, i can't describe the feeling i get when i listen to you guys. x

  • Is this album coming out in the States?

  • Yep.

    Paul

  • you guys should have got someone else to produce this album to give an "outsiders" perspective. i'm sure CM could have hooked you up with someone... maybe next time.

  • Come say hello at a show and we can have a chat about it.

    Paul

  • Woah, this isn't anything like 'Between Two Words' or anything on A Fragile Hope. Not sure what to make of it yet... Still EPIC though =]

  • It's only one track out of ten ;)

    Paul

  • i dont like ed's screaming anymore. its more like and architects scream now :(
