Strapping Young Lad - Shitstorm

[Edd731]

SYL are Far Beyond Metal. Loved em since I heard Detox on a Metal Hammer cd or summat years ago. CRUSH!

[junkfoodftw]

What does dev say right at the end of the video? It's actually at the start of Love.

I have been a fan for years and never been able to figure it out

[nenhmALT]

@junkfoodftw "Fuck it."

[Tastypuffs]

All I see is the guy from matrix, Herly from lost, Boromir from LOTR, and a red head.

[spankrod]

My arms and legs get horrendously-tired after even a minute of trying to air-drum, to this.

No fucking idea how Gene Hoglan does it.

[Seventhson95]

@psyoptica Dude, you heard Dirt Pride? :P

[ckreticeland]

Devin Townsend screamed at Chuck Norris and made him cry.

[DrFaustus84]

My favourite Metal-Song 4 all times!

[psyoptica]

This, Home Nucleonics and Happy Camper are the heaviest Strapping songs I can think of.

[DrFaustus84]

@psyoptica

i agree, but Shitstorm is the most intense i think

[Bassbait]

@psyoptica Actually, all of their songs are the heaviest!

No seriously, every song off every record is top notch (except maybe 2 or 3 off of HAARHT).

Although I'll admit, not all of the songs are heavy.

[krisdaschwab912]

That "FUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU" scream is absolutely legendary.

[navyseal924]

ohhh... how did i get here ????

[CyanideSovereign]

@navyseal924 Sometimes songs this heavy draw you in with their powerfull gravitaion pull.

[Musekal]

HOLY FUCK I'M ON DRUGS

[Teismi]

Skeletor rules!

[HELLOVATOR]

ITS PURE FUCKING SCIENTCE 

[groverpops]

This music sucks. Not only that, but it's utterly disorganized, and frankly, pointless. I do not know what to call it, but it is NOT metal of ANY kind.

[BloodEviscerator]

@groverpops dude, this is EXTREME Metal, this is above Metal! If you don't think this is METAL, then what do you think is metal?

[Destructerator]

@groverpops Okay, I'll order the genre police to get to work.

[lasoogneypubes]

@groverpops I hope you're trolling. It's not disorganized... No music is disorganized unless you're playing improv music and even that is structured to a degree. Pointless? Who decides what music has a point and is pointless? This is fucking metal. You're a bitch. Go away and die.

[DarkChaos451]

I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING PISS!

[pcrvg0808]

So , this song is about the ( financial ) shitstorm that`s about to hit us ?

[macadoolahicky]

@pcrvg0808 no

[Zyborggian]

@pcrvg0808 I think its about how people used to give him shit about him having bipolar disorder...

[Bassbait]

@Zyborggian No, that's not it. I'm pretty sure the entire album is about his internal fear of getting married and having kids. The first two songs are about his birth and growing up. This song is his internal fears and hatreds let loose. "Love?" introduces romance and procreation to the album, and so on until he finally has a kid during "Possessions", and then "Two Weeks" onwards is the aftermath of that. All of the songs have themes related to sex, marriage, children, relationships.

[TheGuyWithAWeirdName]

SOMEONE KILL ME I AM THE 667th LIKE

[jesuslopezambrosio]

Looks like 35 guys cant even fucking piss

[kazoorocketman54]

Did they ever play this live?

[DrFaustus84]

@kazoorocketman54

I think not, too difficult

[Corrosive1]

@kazoorocketman54 They played it live at least once. I wish there was a video of it

[westgoten]

Too bad he cut his hair. That was some awsome skullet he had. :)

[enogael]

I don't know what to think about this song, first reaction is "oh my that's way too weird and messy" but still I kind of like the sickness of it...

[gibbsies]

@enogael keep listening ;D

[speedmonkey]

How the fuck can you not like this song? It's pure anger, amazing riffs, and Gene on drums. No one will ever beat SYL. Greatest line - up ever.

[DrFaustus84]

A Kokophony of anger and sick, sick brutality

[arklowrockz]

Gene Hoglan, bloody hell.......

[NOodleFISH72]

@arklowrockz to it's simplest

[MrGovnarSmrti]

Best name for a song, ever

[jakeofdeath]

Nobody rocks a skullet better than Devin Townsend!!!

[PeeOfSanity]

1.16 <3



[PropellerBusted]

LOL @ the bald guy.

[Zyborggian]

@PropellerBusted Bald guy? Thats Devin Townsend, motherfucker. And at this point he was only partially bald.

[PropellerBusted]

@Zyborggian So you agree he's bald as fuck? LOL

[6969coprophagist6969]

Oh you bastaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaard!

[m4ssee]

Tbh, best lyrics ever.

[lasoogneypubes]

@m4ssee I agree. They're so honest it's amazing lol. Most people would be afraid to sing lyrics like this.

[xavierlejau]

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!­!!!!! FUCKS YOUR EAR REAL FUCKIN GOOD

[tcestanq]

Simply beautiful!

[Corrosive1]

maximum amount of chaos in my headphones right now.

[TheSTRIKE4220]

the groove at 2:45 is fucking amazing.

[nightsallot]

what does that say at the very end of the song

[TheHappyFaceBoxMan]

@nightsallot

He says, "Suck it!"

[Bassbait]

@TheHappyFaceBoxMan Not entirely sure what he says there. I've heard that it's "children" which I DOUBT. I've heard it as "suck it" and as "fuck it".

The reason it could be the latter is because that's actually a lyric in the Love? song, so it seems more likely. But it does sound an awful lot like "suck it", so that might be it too.

[versusterminus19]

@nightsallot "Love? CHILDREN!"

[spankrod]

Oh God, I wish that segment between 2:15 and 2:53 could go on, forever.

It's like ... like ... orgasm in a can.

[berrybanoo]

@spankrod I was literally just thinking this, then I saw your comment!

[MetallicOpeth]

IF YOU WANT FUCKING CRAZY!!! I'll show you how to be crazy

FUCK YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOUUU!­!!!!!

[Corrosive1]

@MetallicOpeth FUUUUCK YYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[SchwaboOS]

CEPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJ ATOOOOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[chuflesthecat]

this band turns homosexuals into heterosexuals.

end of story pal.



[e3axordos]

my god so much stress

[AsDayBurnsNight]

Im seeing devy tonight with bodom!

[nihillae]

This song makes my eyes roll back in a kind of haze of blissy, vicarious, cathartic, grateful, rage-releasing joy. So brilliant.

[alexsonweiss]

My friend listened to this for 48 hours nonestop. wtf is wrong with him.

[GoatsexKvlt]

@alexsonweiss Nothing.

[Sticksandstones32]

@alexsonweiss What's wrong with YOU? Why aren't you? :P

[alexsonweiss]

@Sticksandstones32 not into this kinda metal. I'd rather listen to something a little meaningful instead of someone shouting something like "oh I fucked this girl 2 times in the ass" etc...

[noraa93]

@alexsonweiss haha question is why arent you whats wrong with YOU? :p

[ReganRage27]

Somebody, anybody, I dare you to show me an angrier song than this.

[Someone132435]

@ReganRage27 I also thought that SYL was the angriest music out there until I stumbled upon a band named Anaal Nathrakh, look up a song named Pandemonic Hyperblast, I hate to say it but its angrier than Devin's Shitstorm, the original was removed by Youtube but there are new videos up now.

[ReganRage27]

@Someone132435 Hey man Anaal Nathrakh is pretty awesome!

[Ometopada]

I keep rewinding this. Doesn`t youtube have a loop button somewhere?

[edlrpussyss]

@Ometopada is it me ,or is devin just a massive pussy??

[Johansbutt]

@edlrpussyss It's probably you. I mean you just called him a pussy on youtube - that probably makes you a pussy, right?

[edlrpussyss]

@Johansbutt it could be,but after seeing your band (HAHAHHALOL) ooh i know its definitely you

[Johansbutt]

@edlrpussyss Well, I mean, we're no EDL but we're pretty big pussies. I once almost got in a fight but the guy didn't want to hit me because I peed my pants and started crying at the same time. He probably thought it was too messy! And I just did it again when I read your comment! Well I'm off to the shower...

[edlrpussyss]

@Johansbutt you piss the same color as ur skin,ooh that's racist-although orientals make very good workers don't they,shitty wok

[Johansbutt]

@edlrpussyss I piss red! I need dialysis!

[edlrpussyss]

@Johansbutt have you guys have just started playing your instruments aye, but just keep your head down(oops thats what she said)

[DrFaustus84]

0:55 the best part

[chrss2128]

I absolutely love the drums in this one

[DrFaustus84]

The Best Syl Song ever! 

[KIBQUE]

2:53 brutal death drop!!!!1

[FickJaIchLiebeKiffen]

@KIBQUE Except it was before those "brutal deathxcore" bands.

[henmcben]

Ouch, my ass. Love Shitstorm, Love Alien, Love Devin. Some people just don't get the schtick.

[xXSherviNXx]

my friend listened to this on repeat for 48 hours......

[jsteele07189]

2:35 - Dj-DJENT,Dj-DJENT, Dj-DJENT...

[jsteele07189]

I cannot imagine how angry I would have to be to warrant listening to this music

[iAmTheYan]

@jsteele07189 I am not sure you understand how music works

[jsteele07189]

@iAmTheYan I don't understand your reply

[Mhorgrimify]

Prepare for onslaught of 10 million dicks in your eyes!!!!

[emptyhighways]

this is the most intense song i've ever heard

[bokma7]

2:15

How is a scream like that even humanly possible?

[MrDarkmatters]

@bokma7 All adds to my theory that Devin Townsend is infact an Alien.

[infinitepossibility]

I'M IN CONTROL OF THE INFINITE MIND

AND I CONTROL INFINITE POWER

[SatansRapists]

HE CAN'T EVEN FUCKING PISSSSSSS!

[TheUndertakerii]

its like Macabre with steroids!

[disturbanite8]

I had a stroke when i screamed too long. One of the strangest experiences I've had. This song makes me want to have some more strokes though. :)

[ImSharonWeed2]

@saltedtatortot get some rhythm? they call gene "the atomic clock" for a reason.

[saltedtatortot]

Fucking awful song, get some rhythm.

[Welcometothebrothel2]

@saltedtatortot lol its called shitstorm...... i don't think they were going for anything less than awful.

[shield543]

@saltedtatortot 512 likes : 25 dislikes, any idiot who disliked the video obviously has no sense of navigation on youtube and obviously can't spell "justin beiber" correcly.

[Wladzole]

@saltedtatortot

Learn ANYTHING about music and then you'd be able to hear the rhythm you uneducated dumbfuck =]

[FickJaIchLiebeKiffen]

@saltedtatortot haha silly little man cannot understand complex rhythms

[spatulafuck]

best band in the world, hands down.

[MetalManJads99]

I would say "Add Lyrics" but, I already know the words...

[guy158]

This needs to be blasting at max volume everywhere in northeastern Japan.

[Primus2782]

Put this on in my cousin's car with two 15 inch subs, and they don't work anymore. At least I don't have to hear anymore shitty rap when I ride with him.

[Corrosive1]

@Primus2782 don't worry, you did the right thing

[Rrrrobbo]

@Primus2782 excellent work

[Karlbertsbsing]

Fuck i thought its the song from FurTV......xD

[kazoorocketman54]

I'm not too sure how I was surviving prior to my discovery of Devin Townsend and Strapping Young Lad. Shitstorm is soo fucked up. When I listen to it, it certainly feels like it's devouring all of my problems/depressing thoughts and shitting them out into a wormhole leading to a parallel universe.

[versusterminus19]

@kazoorocketman54 And that wormhole leads straight to Ziltoid the Omniscient.

[enternameherexD]

ugly muthafuckas, but great music!

[DrumEagle]

INB4 SHITSTORM!!!!!

[darkhellion]

@DrumEagle inb4 newfag

[coldhamburgermeat]

Devin divided by zero in this song.

[wiggmortem]

19 people can't even fucking piss.

[BubuSnow93]

@wiggmortem 20 people headbanged so much that they got mad and clicked wrong button.

Those people are heroes :D

[ParadoxIcon]

@wiggmortem Make that 35

[DerGeckarbor]

smeone got dubs

[Metalmoshking666]

Its funny i rediscovered this band because of his project ziltoid the omniscient wich is a MUST hear album,,,

I must say SYL is just fucking rellentless !!!

[BubuSnow93]

@Metalmoshking666 prepare your finest coffee !

[Metalmoshking666]

@BubuSnow93 Fetted they hide there finest bean PREPARE THE PLANET SMASHER

I am so omniscient, if there would be two omniscience's i would be both !

ahaha i just see Ziltoid drink the coffee

when he plays the solo, "i am the greatest to have ever lived", ahah to see him move on the music and with the guitare in his hands

It is one extremely good album and pure art,

With enough imagination you can see it as a movie lol

Hails to ya

[darthedvin]

2:06 = most awsome part of the text

[highpitchscream]

after devin counted infinity twice, he decided to write this song!

[CrippledPotato]

Even though I've stopped listening to metal........ goddamnit, I still gotta praise that band. They never cease to amaze me.

[But7erz]

@CrippledPotato

No metal head STOPS listening to metal

[CrippledPotato]

@But7erz

I never said I was a metal head :D

[bloodyrockfire]

this is not an extreme form of metal but already extreme metal

[FickJaIchLiebeKiffen]

ONLY GENE MOTHER FUCKING HOGLAN CAN PRODUCE ATOMIC BATTERY OF THIS CALIBER WITH THE FURY OF EVERY HOWITZER FIRED ON D-DAY AND THE MIGHT OF TWO TITANIC JUGGERNAUTS OF WAR CLASHING.

Ughghghsadklfhasl;fkd I came.  sdhafopaep gotta wipe this off.

[deathpriest667]

@FickJaIchLiebeKiffen

Gene Hoglan is definitely orgasmically blast tastic.

[88SuperTrooper]

Good wedding Opener: Pantera's HELLBOUND was a nice touch, for the divorce that happened 5 years later: Pantera's 5 minutes alone was perfect.

Hellbound was indeed played at my wedding, no one me and my best man jammed it all the way though while everyone from both sides were shocked..... My wedding so FU.

[graffitiphat]

lol epic piece of shit

i mean this song is shitty

[jeandepaul]

@graffitiphat so is your mum in bed. I mean I fucked her last night while jacking up some red wine. :D

[REALpyrodark]

[green lantern reference] if Red Lanterns needed a theme song it is THIS!

[rocktag2]

this is the song I want at my wedding.....if I ever had one

[AstraVex]

This song is pure fucking rage, wrapped in insanity and boiled in crazysauce.

I heard after Devin sang this in the studio, he blacked out. His doctor told him he was giving himself little strokes.

Quote here:-

"Most of [the music] was just written on the spot... ninety percent of it happens in the studio. I'm going bald rapidly just from being in the studio. Every time I sing in the studio I black out and the doctor says I'm giving myself these little strokes. It's like a bad thing..."

[fisherdoodguy23]

@AstraVex Everybody please thumbs up this guy's comment. That is metal as fuck. People should know how metal Dev is. (It's about a page back from my comment)

[fisherdoodguy23]

@AstraVex I posted this before, but I'm re-posting because the comments are getting shoved back. Thumbs up this guy's comment; people should know how metal dev is.

[April1442]

@AstraVex I'm getting mini strokes listening to this. WOO

[ZombieNazis]

@AstraVex

Feeling that the band's previous album did not live up to expectations, Townsend decided to take his music to a new extreme. To prepare for the new album, Townsend stopped taking the medication prescribed to treat his bipolar disorder. "I think that as an artist, in order for me to get to the next plateau, I kind of feel the need to explore things and sometimes that exploration leads you to places that are a little crazy," he explains. "And Alien was no exception with that."

[PaybackTyme]

makes me want to fucking smash the shit out of everything. Fucking awesome

[BTBAMBoarder]

Divine.

[gibbsies]

Anybody looking for good metal like this should look into a band called SikTh. They're disbanded as well, but god damn it is good metal.

[KJGould]

@gibbsies sikth never did anything as heavy as this. They were more progressive technical

[gibbsies]

@KJGould I never said they were as heavy, but they're fucking amazingly talented.

[FickJaIchLiebeKiffen]

Also mother comment 420.

[FickJaIchLiebeKiffen]

Two more likes for 420 fucking do it people.

[smkskateboarder]

devin's waiting for 15 people to get some sleep tonight :)

[RiderAndKallen]

It really helps to have the CD (or 4100 kb/s WAV) for the part at 2:58.

[Moose1223]

2:18 is the sound of your bladder exploding

[lorddresefer]

I think i actually got a tan from listening to this....

[TheWeedbullet]

Im pretty sure the first 22 seconds of this song are what it sounds like to die

[mburke000]

meh

[Eyfiss]

Fuck youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !

[Sonicthehedgehog73]

I've had this song on repeat for days... I can't even tell you the amount of power that I feel flowing through my vains when I here this song. You start to feel like an unstoppable force...

[DanameaTheBattleLock]

@Sonicthehedgehog73

Yep , thats metal .

[LapidaDrummer]

This is the destruction of all things that exists...

[Corrosive1]

no song simply cannot get more wicked than this

[NightXemnas]

Devin will show us how to be crazy.

[silentfunkies]

I literally listened to this song on repeat for over 5 hours one day. good times.

[clashin1977]

@silentfunkies i feel ya man, as soon as i heard this song i've been continuing to replay it, it hits so fucking hard! like a runaway freight train smashing through your skull

[FickJaIchLiebeKiffen]

This song eats brutality and shits genocide.

[Nimenoz]

@FickJaIchLiebeKiffen Well played, sir.

[METALLICA6547]

@FickJaIchLiebeKiffen aint that the truth

[nein1ives]

@FickJaIchLiebeKiffen it does. literally. holy fuck.

[isthisnamestillfree]

@FickJaIchLiebeKiffen Ohhh noooo, you down syndrome retard! I shit apartheid!

[MrDillonB19]

This song is war. Dear god what this would have been like to see live!! 2:10-:3:13 is just wonderful. When that whole part plays i feel like i just belong in a asylum from how hyper it makes me haha.

[BuffLikeJesus]

the singer is amazing but hes just so dang creepy lookin...

[masacrist]

@BuffLikeJesus hes normal now.
