I love metal but I fucking despise 99% of its fans. The ones with an internet connection, anyway. Comments on this page are pretty much why. Bawwww wahhhhh its overrated wahhhhhh I'm a fucking cunt bawwww. Etc, etc, etc.
Even though I generally enjoy this album, I also have to blame it for all the terrible, uninspired melodeath and metalcore clones that came in its wake. The sad thing is it's never really been done better since then and yet it's probably the most oversaturated of all metal genres and has had one of the greatest negative influences.
@slimininin first of all, i dont believe in a one world order dumbfuck. you fail to understand what any of those videos are about. second, its a fact that the US is israels bitch and if you cant see that then youre just plain fucking stupid. its in plain sight. uh oh, i mustve made you mad though, considering you had to go to my profile to look for some dirt (which wasnt even there). lol, you are a sad child.
If you like Swedish Death Metal, you should check out mu channel and you´ll find my band Oculus. Not as good as At The Gates maby, but pretty good anyway! (we are from Sweden, so we know how to write bonecrushing riffs)
@j3wboy1000 They came from the same place, At the same time, Inventing the same genre :) Nope, I'm not joking. Dimension Zero were there too, and a shit tonne of others. Gotta love the swedish!
@TheDragonbuster100 People who indirectly attack random people for doing something you can't respect or understand because you're too close-minded and you feel the need to share your pointless, inconsiderate opinion as if to suggest that you're under the impression that anyone gives a flying assfuck about it = Simple child who thinks calling people gay for anything other than liking the same gender is somehow offensive. Your level of dumbass-ness and evident immaturity is laughably unimpressive.
You know, genre labeling is really important. It makes it easier to find music, books, movies, whatever. If I like At The Gates, it would be nice to know how to search for music like it. It is important, don't fool yourselves, just don't be a douchebag about it.
@MetallKaos genre labelling is the worst plague for music. first because people who usually put those labels don't know nothing about older bands and releases, second because I find more interisting to say 'i like' or 'i dislike' something after having took a listen and not because it's labelled 'bghasfkgcdfsonagcnla-metal-rap-indie'. fuck off genre labels, long live the Music itself.
@DrFaustus314 You are missing my point. First, I am fine with people listening to music and just saying "I like" or "I dislike." Just because something has a label doesn't mean you have to like it. Second, it is unfair to call something a bad thing just because some people misuse it. If I like a band or their style, it is easy to say, "Hey, that song was awesome, I want to listen to other songs like that." Music doesn't become less good just because it fits in a genre.
@MetallKaos i'm just saying that many bands are compared to others that are completely different just because it's cool playing with labels. for people starting to listen to music seriously before considering to search for something else, hear all the releases of a band (not only one time and please without fast forward), choose your fave and keep listening to it. it's horrible going to the concerts and seeing that no one sings a word.
@DrFaustus314 Don't listen to dumb ass people on Youtube if you are wanting to know what kind of music a band is. And don't like or hate one specific genre. You don't have to like an entire genre, and you don't have to just listen to one band. Genres are a tool, and they are a great one at that. It is unfair to tell people to just listen to ONE band or ONE release from that band. Expand at your pleasure, and use genres as a guide, and not a mandate.
Slaughter of the soul turned my friend into a metal head many years ago. i watched it happen as i put it in my cd player driving home from vintage vinyl in NJ
Fleshgod Apocalypses cover of this song totally sucks. They totally fucked up this song i agree. The used too fast and overdosed blastbeat drumming that it sounds like shit. It sounds like he is blasting on a plastic can like an retard. ......The German Metalcore band "Caliban" also covered this song. The guitar work is no that good. but they did an good job for a Metalcore band.
@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 EXACTLY!! i dont know what other people's views on how covers should be done but i think if you cover something keep it as original as possible but at the same time bring a little bit of your bands sound in as well. like caliban's version. know what i mean? haha
@raychuckster2112 Half the fun of music is interpreting in your own personal way. When you say something like "it's all metal", you're compensating for your lack of open-mindedness or knowledge on the genre by trying to claim that your opinion is the best simply because it is based around simplicity and infinite regress. Trust me, listen to metal for another 3-4 years and you'll realize how important genre tags are.
@MutantClannfear I believe I said it's great music, I don't need a tag for that I've been listening to metal since about 1968, didn't need a tag then ether
@raychuckster2112 So what if you asked for more "great music" like At the Gates, and I recommended you Radiohead because I believe they're also great? Would you be happy with my recommendation?
Does he really sing "I cast aside my chains"? It sounds like he sings something like "I saw the silent machines". But this only my opinion. Great song!!!!
@Xatalion while those bands did make melodic death metal much more popular in the metal community, the real founders are bands like Edge of Sanity, Carcass, Dissection, Ceremonial Oath, etc.
And no I don't have anything against the bands you mentioned, just trying to clarify a bit for those that don't know.
@CilverNightHigh According to your profile, it appears you go onto videos of metal bands and state that "you dont like screamo". Dude, get a fucking life.
@CilverNightHigh Well then lucky for you this isnt screamo! this isnt even what the stupid mainstream call screamo... common dude... The mainstream ''screamo'' is post-hardcore and deathcore like Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria n stuff like that. real Screamo is oldschool hardcore like pg 99 and saetia... THIS IS FUCKING MELODEATH!!!
@CilverNightHigh Should have listened to the instruments and looked at the lyrics might have look past it being melodic deathmetal (not called screamo)
people have to know what exactly 'metalcore' is. 'metalcore' is a subgenre of metal combining Metal (METALcore) and Hardcore (metalCORE) (Bands such as madball and terror etc.) a good example of a metalcore band is KSE, they combine metal and hardcore perfectly, bullet for my valentine (known as 'metalcore') in fact is not because they have little to no hardcore influence in their songs. i dont give a fuck about genres but it pisses me off seeing people commonly get this fact wrong haha
@metalpunkx666 Bullet has plenty of punk influence in their album "The Poison" (their only metalcore album). It's just shit. They released 20 songs and only about 2 were decent.
But yeah, now that the metalcore hype has gone away, people should try to at least give it a chance.
@Zimx02 oh i thought there was hardcore and hardcore punk. like when i think of hardcore i think of bands like madball and terror and when i think of hardcore punk i think of minor threat and the casualties
This band is awesome. However why do people judge music by genre when they should judge by band. I don't like Metalcore, but I like KSE. Metal is Metal, quit bitching about worhtless sub-genres and enjoy great music.
@pacomonkey007 I agree with this. As a whole I dislike Metalcore, but there are definitely bands within the genre that are worth my time. Its mostly because the vast majority of bands in the genre are unoriginal hacks (same with Deathcore IMO) and thats why people as a whole give crap to any band even associated with Metalcore. Its sad but true. Its what happens when music genres get popular. You get ever Tom, Dick, and Harry coming out of wordwork, forming shitty, mediocre bands and it hurts
@MyBeardOfDefiance I don't give a fuck! Fuck that so called "sub-genre" of metal. It's a disgrace and pure shit. It's all thanks to these teenage fan boys who decided to Americanize ATG's sound and they fucked it up big time.
@Neuffey Screamo is not a sub-genre of Metal. That's how i know you're not using it right. Look up the term Screamo, listen to some of the bands listed as Screamo (Not BMTH or Atreyu or whatever, they're Metalcore) and you'll see that Screamo has nothing to do with Metal and isn't ripping off At The Gates.
Pure is pure, It doesn't matter what continent you come from quit being an elitist. I hate radio metal too and there are a bunch of us all around the world. I'm the biggest Avenged blood for my gay valentine shit talker ever and I am American. Don't think your life experience is any more valid than a person on another continent you never met. I hate the homogenized shit on the radio and TV. If you are real you would spend more time talking to real people than posers.
I love how every time I go to a ATG's video on Youtube there are a bunch of people arguing over what style of music this is. Shut the fuck up and just enjoy you fucking music snobs.
God thank to the melodic death metal for existing. Definitely my favourite kind of metal, by far my favourite kind of music! It makes me feel fucking invincible!
I really hate arguements about certain types of music that suck and certain types that are outdated....listen, IT'S ALL METAL!!! All different types of metal just sounds a bit different....from Kreator to Motley Crue to Toxic Holocaust to Hurricane.....IT'S ALL METAL. Some metal is harder than other metal, some is growl, some is speed....dude, stop the bitchin....IT'S ALL METAL!!! Love it all!!
@celticattack I apologize in saying this (not greatly) but your logic is doomed to fail. That something is metal music is not a sufficient condition for someone to like it. Let's face it, there is some shitty metal out there and you don't have to like it all. On the other hand, I agree that so called metalheads should not give their opinion about their individual taste. You like what you like and fuck the rest, but don't bitch about it. Hail.
@DMU555 That's right. I don't care what you or anyone else like or don't, I am not interested in being swayed by your (or anyone else's) opinions about metal. All they do when they give their opinion is looking for the approval of others while finding a common enemy.
@danielitro1 You just can't take the possibility of being wrong? Dude if you don't care that much, it wouldn't bother you to hear other people's opinions. If you actually have any security about your opinions you'll either stick up for them or just not give a shit when anyone disagrees. You claim you don't care, so why do you say that people shouldn't voice their opinions? People like you embarrass me to be a metal head.
@DMU555 Because it is annoying when people voice their opinions and I was trying to agree with "celticattack" on the first place. I am not a metal head so you don't have to worry about me putting you in an embarrassing position.
@danielitro1 You saying that it is annoying for people to voice their opinions is a good example of someone voicing their opinion. Congratulations, you contradicted yourself. When someone voices their opinion let alone someone on the internet that you don't know, why would you let that bother you. You may ask if I believe what I jsut said why would I bother talking to you? Why, it's because I love to troll people of course.
@DMU555 Here is the thing, it may seem like I gave my opinion about listening to other people's opinions. But, I accept that I made an error on the first place not specifying that the opinions that I don't like are those given without asking first for their opinions, such as someone out of the blue saying something which no one else cares to hear. What I tried to do was to answer to you what seemed to be questions. I know it seems an attempt to salvage a lost argument but it's not like you can..
@DMU555 ...write at length with this character's limit. It was intrusive for me to comment on "celticattack"s comment, but I tried to do it in an productive and intelligent way without disrespect not trying to troll anyone. I just tried to point out a logical error when dealing with metal, we don't have to like all metal bands only because they are metal. In conclusion, you (and everyone else) are entitled to your likes and perhaps to your opinions, but not to troll bands you don't like, in my..
saying "HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo METHULCOURE SUCKSS!!!!!!!" in At the Gates video doesn't make you seem a true metalhead, it makes you look like a loser.
Why are you arguing about metalcore? It barely has a fanbase by now, it has become the alpha and omega of being repetitve, all the bands sound the same.
But this song will never die. Why? Because it's fucking At The Gates, that's why.
@Anon41264 That is absolutely right, but what I meant was more about metalcore bands copying the sound of each other, which creates a very narrow listening experience for fans of the genre. When this song came out, none of todays trillion metalcore bands were around, and it felt more fresh and interesting
Of course, probably there are people who just discovered metalcore right now, so they probably have different feelings about it.
@GutsandGlory45 Okay, maybe I didn't say that correctly. I didn't mean that every one of them is the exact same, what I meant that beyond the exceptions lie a sea of bands who have very similar sounds, and very formulaic songs.
Of course, there are bands who manage to have their own sound and taste, for example August Burns Red is easy to recognize.
@MrCl1nt actually metalcore is developing and it has a good variety of different sounding bands, you're just looking at the mainstream bullshit. and over 90% of the bands in any genre have no originality, especially shit like thrash metal.
@Ninjistic Metalcore does have a good variety , but shouldn't be argued on this kind of video.. Besides... Thrash is awesome..... Idk what YOUR thinking.. Alot of metal Built off of thrash.. Thrash STARTED the speed shit...
@Gl4nG3R thrash did not start the " speed shit " it's actually Motorhead who made the first ever song to be considered as Speed metal it was the song "Ace of Spade" so we can say that Heavy metal started Speed metal.
@vPestilence actually, the blast beat, believe or not, originally was developed by jazz drummers (Tony Williams for example used them quite a bit. though how much they influenced metal drummers isn't clear, though there is likely some correlation. Attila used them as far back as '69. Napalm Death however is credited with helping to popularize the technique within metal and hardcore (as well as coining the term). though DRI, Sepultura, SOD, and Repulsion already used it in that context.
@Xatalion So what is Children of Bodom then? They've been around since '93. Obviously they didn't contribute anything at all, what with Alexi spreading the genre's popularity. I like all these bands, but dude, don't forget one of the biggest founders. Bodom and Flames have been around for just as long as each other.
@Chamenful Maybe their new stuff which is more of a step at power metal (or just bad music like blood drunk and Are you dead yet) but everything from their early career like Lake Bodom and Hatebreeder is real melodeath whether or not you care isn't my problem.
@Xatalion You do know that in order to be regarded as founder you need to be the first, right? Thus I'd more say that Carcass (1985), Dark Tranquility (1989), Dissection (1989) and At the gates (1990) is a more viable lineup in that regard
what..? soilwork they started in 1995, and In flames and at the gates and dark tranquillity (1989) started in 1990.. please get yor facts right.. but soilwork have done some good records, no doubnt about that =)
what..? soilwork they started in 1995, and In flames, at the gates and dark tranquillity (1989) started in 1990.. please get yor facts right.. but soilwork have done some good records, no doubnt about that =)
@PlacentaDevourer666 in flames was one of the best mellodic metal bands out there,check jester rac and whoracle albums.nowadays are smthng different i guess but old in flames is a great band
@Metalflamme I disagree. ATG, IF and DT had all released an album or EP before or around 95, Kalmah and CoB came four years later so I wouldn't call them founders. Soilwork is also often wrongly credited, though this is just my opinion.
Too bad this song is too short. I wish it would go on forever.

But yeah, now that the metalcore hype has gone away, people should try to at least give it a chance.

@Zimx02 they have punk influence, but not hardcore i see what you are saying but i think there is a slight difference; both are similar though
metalpunkx666 5 months ago
@metalpunkx666 Wow. Don't you know that hardcore is a punk subgenre? That's why "hardcore" is short for "hardcore punk".

@Zimx02 oh i thought there was hardcore and hardcore punk. like when i think of hardcore i think of bands like madball and terror and when i think of hardcore punk i think of minor threat and the casualties

This band is awesome. However why do people judge music by genre when they should judge by band. I don't like Metalcore, but I like KSE. Metal is Metal, quit bitching about worhtless sub-genres and enjoy great music.
pacomonkey007 8 months ago
@pacomonkey007 I agree with this. As a whole I dislike Metalcore, but there are definitely bands within the genre that are worth my time. Its mostly because the vast majority of bands in the genre are unoriginal hacks (same with Deathcore IMO) and thats why people as a whole give crap to any band even associated with Metalcore. Its sad but true. Its what happens when music genres get popular. You get ever Tom, Dick, and Harry coming out of wordwork, forming shitty, mediocre bands and it hurts

@MyBeardOfDefiance I don't give a fuck! Fuck that so called "sub-genre" of metal. It's a disgrace and pure shit. It's all thanks to these teenage fan boys who decided to Americanize ATG's sound and they fucked it up big time.
Neuffey 4 months ago
@Neuffey Screamo is not a sub-genre of Metal. That's how i know you're not using it right. Look up the term Screamo, listen to some of the bands listed as Screamo (Not BMTH or Atreyu or whatever, they're Metalcore) and you'll see that Screamo has nothing to do with Metal and isn't ripping off At The Gates.

Pure is pure, It doesn't matter what continent you come from quit being an elitist. I hate radio metal too and there are a bunch of us all around the world. I'm the biggest Avenged blood for my gay valentine shit talker ever and I am American. Don't think your life experience is any more valid than a person on another continent you never met. I hate the homogenized shit on the radio and TV. If you are real you would spend more time talking to real people than posers.

@celticattack I apologize in saying this (not greatly) but your logic is doomed to fail. That something is metal music is not a sufficient condition for someone to like it. Let's face it, there is some shitty metal out there and you don't have to like it all. On the other hand, I agree that so called metalheads should not give their opinion about their individual taste. You like what you like and fuck the rest, but don't bitch about it. Hail.

@DMU555 That's right. I don't care what you or anyone else like or don't, I am not interested in being swayed by your (or anyone else's) opinions about metal. All they do when they give their opinion is looking for the approval of others while finding a common enemy.
danielitro1 4 months ago
@danielitro1 You just can't take the possibility of being wrong? Dude if you don't care that much, it wouldn't bother you to hear other people's opinions. If you actually have any security about your opinions you'll either stick up for them or just not give a shit when anyone disagrees. You claim you don't care, so why do you say that people shouldn't voice their opinions? People like you embarrass me to be a metal head.
DMU555 4 months ago
@DMU555 Because it is annoying when people voice their opinions and I was trying to agree with "celticattack" on the first place. I am not a metal head so you don't have to worry about me putting you in an embarrassing position.
danielitro1 4 months ago
@danielitro1 You saying that it is annoying for people to voice their opinions is a good example of someone voicing their opinion. Congratulations, you contradicted yourself. When someone voices their opinion let alone someone on the internet that you don't know, why would you let that bother you. You may ask if I believe what I jsut said why would I bother talking to you? Why, it's because I love to troll people of course.
DMU555 4 months ago
@DMU555 Here is the thing, it may seem like I gave my opinion about listening to other people's opinions. But, I accept that I made an error on the first place not specifying that the opinions that I don't like are those given without asking first for their opinions, such as someone out of the blue saying something which no one else cares to hear. What I tried to do was to answer to you what seemed to be questions. I know it seems an attempt to salvage a lost argument but it's not like you can..
danielitro1 4 months ago
@DMU555 ...write at length with this character's limit. It was intrusive for me to comment on "celticattack"s comment, but I tried to do it in an productive and intelligent way without disrespect not trying to troll anyone. I just tried to point out a logical error when dealing with metal, we don't have to like all metal bands only because they are metal. In conclusion, you (and everyone else) are entitled to your likes and perhaps to your opinions, but not to troll bands you don't like, in my..

Why are you arguing about metalcore? It barely has a fanbase by now, it has become the alpha and omega of being repetitve, all the bands sound the same.
But this song will never die. Why? Because it's fucking At The Gates, that's why.
MrCl1nt 9 months ago 61
@MrCl1nt This song is equally as repetitive as any metalcore song.
However it doesn't mean repetition is a bad thing, it's just something to acknowledge.
Anon41264 9 months ago
@Anon41264 That is absolutely right, but what I meant was more about metalcore bands copying the sound of each other, which creates a very narrow listening experience for fans of the genre. When this song came out, none of todays trillion metalcore bands were around, and it felt more fresh and interesting
Of course, probably there are people who just discovered metalcore right now, so they probably have different feelings about it.

@MrCl1nt Not every metalcore band is the same, you really need to be ignorant to believe that.
GutsandGlory45 9 months ago 2
@GutsandGlory45 Okay, maybe I didn't say that correctly. I didn't mean that every one of them is the exact same, what I meant that beyond the exceptions lie a sea of bands who have very similar sounds, and very formulaic songs.
Of course, there are bands who manage to have their own sound and taste, for example August Burns Red is easy to recognize.

@Gl4nG3R thrash did not start the " speed shit " it's actually Motorhead who made the first ever song to be considered as Speed metal it was the song "Ace of Spade" so we can say that Heavy metal started Speed metal.

vPestilence 5 months ago
@vPestilence actually, the blast beat, believe or not, originally was developed by jazz drummers (Tony Williams for example used them quite a bit. though how much they influenced metal drummers isn't clear, though there is likely some correlation. Attila used them as far back as '69. Napalm Death however is credited with helping to popularize the technique within metal and hardcore (as well as coining the term). though DRI, Sepultura, SOD, and Repulsion already used it in that context.

@Xatalion You do know that in order to be regarded as founder you need to be the first, right? Thus I'd more say that Carcass (1985), Dark Tranquility (1989), Dissection (1989) and At the gates (1990) is a more viable lineup in that regard
