[adonizvain]

psalm 33:3

sing a new son to HIM play SKILLFULLY with a SHOUT for JOY.......

How is God if HIS people will not believe in him.... God will be God...we can't reach the knowledge of God...That why it is very hard for us to believe that we cannot see...so many questions about GOD but let me ask you, WHY DO YOU EXIST IN THIS WORLD? and HOW WAS THE WORLD AND LIFE EXIST?....can u tell me? if you can't answer,well, thats the time YOU will BELIEVE IN GOD...so simple but very hard to understand.......

[JesusFreak4747]

thumbs up if u got the Holy Spirit chills when they all lifted their hands :)

[xAGBx137]

seeing them tonight!

[MajorMontage]

A-ME-RI-CANNNNNNN!

[GavinVoxMachine]

why do i see no throwing down :(

[MyProvider777]

this is my favorite song... JOEL 2:31 \o/

[ibanez2140]

Its beyond me how someone can believe in science.... Ooohhh get this. Evalution.. Fish just decided to rebel and get out of water AND grow legs!?!? Then they ditched their scales?? Makes sense :)

[cody60]

@ibanez2140 those people feel exactly the same about how other people believe in god. it makes no sense.

[PanteraFarBeyond]

mattie is so good.

[drew9288]

Umm,actually have the things in The Bible that has been done that looks crazy,what about learning chi (lifeforce energy)? Or that we are made up of frequency,science proves that & yet in Gen.1 speaking things into existence (voice carries frequency). when has man become soo intelligent to make claims of God not existing? Srry about your atheist beliefs but the darwin fish actually represents a polytheistic god,just saying do not be decieved by hypocrisy of the church or lies of the world.

[rollerbladingking]

this makes me proud to be a christian

[Tbobble316]

4:04 to the end is AWESOME!!!

[pvuband78752]

Love this breakdown

[weareahailstorm]

4:05 is just pure epicness. It must kill his throat to get the raw rough-age in that growl. I love it :)

[RaRaRyan14]

the best band in the world right now

omg

[Nathaniel6342]

how about this.....compare these two things. Can you see a atom with the naked eye?....no, can you see God.....no, but you believe a atom is real so why not God?

[SkypePwn1246]

@Nathaniel6342 because theres evidence of the atom existing. and there is no existent that god exists :)

[Nathaniel6342]

@SkypePwn1246 still everyone believes that the atom exists so why can't you open your mind and heart to God. I mean he died for mankind and they just take him for granted, they should give God a chance. And if you don't believe me than that's your choice,im' not going to try and make up your mind for you.But at least take what im' saying to heart and try to better your life with the glory of God.

[SkypePwn1246]

@Nathaniel6342 better my life? wtf dude... my life is fine ok? i dont want to follow a book of contradictions and live in fear of hell. because thats not bettering my life. and why? I JUST EXPLAINED WHY, because theres EVIDENCE OF THE ATOM AND NOT GOD. even if god exists, its only as a primitive interpretation of natural scientifically explained events.

[Nathaniel6342]

@SkypePwn1246 Well, when the day comes we will see whose wrong and whose right. Then you can tell me if God is not real, cause i believe he is real. You shouldn't have even started something your not going to win, but i am sure with your primitive/neanderthal mind you keep refusing to believe God does exists. So you have a good life and hope your family and you are safe and happy, May God bless you & your family.

[Nathaniel6342]

@SkypePwn1246 Oh! and I almost forgot, since you said there is evidence of the atom existing and not God, that's where faith comes in. And why are you even watching their videos since they are a Christian band and all their songs are about God?

[SkypePwn1246]

@Nathaniel6342 believing something doesnt make it exist m8 :) i believe that i can fly, but i cant can i? -_-.... and its cuz i like the band, i just hate how your mouthing off the toss about god, when you should just fucking enjoy the video. im only argueing the toss on this now, because your making shitty comments on god, and its annoying, so lets end this now and you can go pray to the clouds and sky, and space, and the atom ;D

[gacktxrawr]

@Nathaniel6342 dude are you serious? its a metal band. get off youtube and get a girl friend.

[willie79924]

this is for everyone complaining about cupping. with one hand, it isn't cupping. it's jus holding it cool. instead of a 1950's singer. ya know? but! using to hand is totally making it louder and isn't natural. I know what I'm talking about. I'm always messing around with that kinda shit at my band practice:b

[McGhillicutty69]

These guys are from my mom's hometown :D hahahaha I love them even though they are super ultra mega Christian!

[999lambofgod]

Great stage presence. GREAT BAND!! Im gonna see them live in a few weeks cant wait!!

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@999lambofgod i would have been heading down to ND to see their release shows, but i'm heading to san francisco instead.

new songs are TIGHT though.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Jesus didn't die for you to have a religion - He died to have a personal relationship with you.

[SOAD525]

cuping effect for vocals, wow...

[LimesWolf]

@SOAD525

You're a dumb ass. Cupping takes two hands. He's holding the mic with one almost the entire time.

[SOAD525]

@LimesWolf cupping takes one hand

two hands would be supper low

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@SOAD525 you're wrong, limeswolf is right.

[SOAD525]

@iusedtohaveabeard not really

when he does the super super low growl he has two hands that make his voice deeper

its kinda fake

[Spiderpanda27]

@SOAD525 Does'nt mean its fake. His hands are on the Mic, not over his mouth!

[hXcPegz]

@SOAD525 Do you want to know how he does it? He's told how before.

[SOAD525]

@hXcPegz

i no the cupping of his hands makes it lower.

[hXcPegz]

@SOAD525 Oh, because he says he does it by the grace of God.

[dontbecomplainin34]

@SOAD525 lawl.. super low

[SOAD525]

@SOAD525

[ZEROboarder00]

i hate shows with weak ass crowds. they just fucking stand there. no fun. your supposed to mosh with Jesus mannn

[xlambofgodfan22x]

I fucking love this band!!!!

[WESTSIDEGENIUS]

So sick the more haters they have the better the become!!!!!!!

[CooperMedearis]

less preaching more playing

[SenorBivins]

2:28 when the bassist does that spin / stomp that pumps me up for some reason O_O AHHHHHH this song is SO GOOD

[TAKE]

God bless these guys

[flamtapman]

best band alive, if you bash them you die

[dagl086]

i wish people would stop arguing over religions or beliefs over the internet.

[killerdude1233]

Tell me how any non believer can feel about yourself to tell me that everyday i wake up and put someone else infront of me and fight for a better cause and im stupid how can you say that me feeding the hungry and clothing the poor is stupid...... Because i believe in something called HOPE!

[CHICKENNNNNNNNN]

Let the trumpet sound for the coming King. Thealmighty approaches! Let the whole world see. Wake up! This is really

happening

[danutter12]

AMERICA, YOU WILL BE JUDGED

[killerdude1233]

LONG LIKE CHIRST JESUS

[xstayandfightxx]

@blahhapoop yo bro even though i agree with you if we dont shine the light of Christ into the scene than we are being the devils advocates! the word says as we "Go Preach The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand" (matt 10:7) but to call an un beleiver an idoit is not bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to hand! bro ! We all Need to Repent of Our Sins but we need to bring the Message of Christ with the Conviction of the Holy Spirit not the words of our Flesh!

[teddygooselover]

bro i know this great country of ours has freedom of speech, but please dont call the word of god a pile of crap. These concerts are all about the word, and lots of kids get turned around by the bands preaching. I know I got turned around by this band back in 2008.

[devilsrock9]

screamer (mattie i think his name is?) is unbelievable

[greasyballs12]

ughhh great band but they believe in a pile of shit

[xstayandfightxx]

@greasyballs12 Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand! your not putting down the band or even us Christians your putting down the Very God who gives you your Breath every Second! Dont take that lightly your eternity Rests in his Hands! like this song says " You will Be Judged, But His People Will Be Restored" Key Word HIS!!! you can become His if you wiil Humble your Self and Seek His Face! it is literally a Life Or Death Situation!

[greasyballs12]

@xstayandfightxx lol, your bullshit religion makes me laugh : ). I like the band and all (the music) but the lyrics are just megashit. And i think freely and do as i please, i dont live by ten rules and i never will, and i dont believe my fate rests in "his" hands because thats a pile of shit. And when i die, i'm not goin anywhere except the ground cause that's gonna be it, so i'm gonna do whatever the fuck i want until then we'll see who's laughing when nothing happens in the end.

[killerdude1233]

@greasyballs12 if thats the case you will always be wrong no matter what because there wont be a split second that you actually laugh and say ha i smoke and drank and pleased only myself and made the world worst but you actually christians lived lifes streaching out our hands and help

[greasyballs12]

@killerdude1233 i'm not hiding behind my computer. Out in public i argue with everyone about religion. I'm merely taking my arguements online. Yeah and your right, science and math and that type of stuff isn't retarded at all, but when it comes to bullshit. BIG TIME, MAJOR LEAGUE BULLSHIT, you have to stare in awe at the all time champion of false promises and exagerated claims: Religion

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@greasyballs12 will you and killerdude both just shut the fuck up and listen to the music.

[masonbonner]

@greasyballs12 religion is trash, complete garbage. but having a relationship with the one true living God is more real than anything in this world. and anyone can argue with it all they want but the truth is the truth no matter what anyone beleives or says and one day every knee will bow no matter what.

[xNINJAB3ARx]

@masonbonner AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!! I'm so glad they share their hearts at EVERY show, unlike most fake "Christian" bands that only share the gospel at shows like Sonshine. These guys are completely sold out to God and couldn't care less about how the world sees them. God gave them their talents to help share the gospel. because in the end, the gospel is all that actually matters!!!!!!!!!!

[bigzooka]

@masonbonner you're right bro. so right. Jesus Christ is the way, the ONLY way. and anyone who thinks differently isn't right. I know it sounds harsh or "closed minded" to the blind, but its plain and simple. He is Lord. And there has never been, or never will be another.

[Noneed4aname83]

@masonbonner agreed! im not very religious but i do acknowledge the presence of a greater being

[BensKid]

@greasyballs12 you ripped that last part strait from a clip on zeit geist. at least be original man. let people believe what they want

[Freedish911]

@greasyballs12

Wanna hear something interesting....we used to think the world was flat. we used to think the sun revolved around the earth. We used to think a lot of stupid things because science wasn't advanced enough to explain what we saw. Science can only explain observations, what we can't observe we can't explain. How many times has "common knowledge' failed us? Think about it....How certain can we be in our fallible 'science'.

Science is only as good as the scientist.

[killerdude1233]

@greasyballs12 and you cant laugh at that but if im right and my god is real than you will always know and crazy thing you can do whatever you want and go to heaven because salvation is a free gift but because you actually believe and love god you do good things Romans 3:23 sums the bible up nice and quick

[greasyballs12]

@killerdude1233 i'm not going to heaven, nor hell. I'm goin in the ground when i die. just like you and every other person in the world. How can you believe this bullshit after it was all made up by man anyways? there's no physical or real evidence that any such god could exist and that is why it's stupid. It's just used to fill in the gap that scientists are working on filling in at the moment, unlike christianity.

[TUATC18]

@greasyballs12 Science can never fill the gaps. No matter how hard man tries LOL

[greasyballs12]

@TUATC18 science is working on filling in the gap unlike religion, which was just put there because people are too retarded to try and think logically about anything.

[TUATC18]

@greasyballs12 Do you believe in a designer?

[helloiamdavey]

@greasyballs12 aaand has science come up with anything? no they haven't. will they ever come up with something? probably not. shut the fuck up

[killerdude1233]

@greasyballs12 how can you say that! when nothing is proven wrong about the bible ever and it often goes hand in hand with scientists? things about love and money and life just day to day is talked about 2,000+ years and today they fingure it out you guys are behind

[bigzooka]

@greasyballs12 you will be judged when your time comes. maybe when you meet God you'll repent. well hopefully before that! because by then it will be too late.

"seek your mercy now, while it may still be found"

[killerdude1233]

@greasyballs12 dude seriously you dont want to learn about anything your hiding behind your computer to upset people, good people. We dont say math is retarded we dont say sicences is retarded and when you dont know anything about God you cant say he is stupid come on either come with an open mind or leave us alone please

[VampBp]

People really need to look this band up and see what they're about before complaining about them spreading the word of God.

[NateAtWar]

anyone know what kinda shirt the singer is wearing ?

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@NateAtWar it just says fearless on it, he's got about 5 or 6 of them, but i can't find where to buy them at. i'll ask him this summer and let you know.

[yoshidmc]

@iusedtohaveabeard its a fearless records shirt

[tjc1014]

@iusedtohaveabeard its a fearless records shirt

[nadabeloved]

@NateAtWar probably it say something about god :D

[Jess54191]

[MrWhiteFelipe]

He uses it ain almost every play!

[trexim20]

@NateAtWar You trying to creap on him and go buy the shirt or what?

[Poopterd123]

[havokblader]

Gutteral was absolute beast.

[TheSmokingherb]

duuuude i saw these guys last night, powerful stuff

[EpicLegends]

I've been looking for a christian band, that actually knows how to play their instruments, for a LONG time..... FINALLY! these guys rock, and their message is SO strong! They aren't afraid to share the Word at all!

[kevinmccauley518]

if you want a real Christan band, listen to life in your way.

[Trevorcjx]

to all those stupid people making stupid comments, there a christian band and their music is how they get there message out

[blaze82haze30]

couldnt be said any better! i hate people that say it cant be christian cause its hardcore...thats stupid

[A7XCShad0ws]

and they could careless if the hardcore kids don't like the Christian stuff..they are there to spread the word of God and Jesus Christ and they love it.

[jimb2455]

they gotta chil wit all the christian shit live wasnt feelin that intro

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@jimb2455 they are a christian band, they will do what they want.

[jacosam62]

@jimb2455 I totally agree with you dude.

I felt like I was at church for a minute.

I mean, don't get me wrong, they're a good band, but, wasn't diggin' the intro.

[DevanBrahh]

i agree 100%, gods kool and all, but they just took it a bit to far, and it was to long,

but they are realy great,

but they shud cut some of the Christan stuff, most hardcore kids dont like that

but there still good

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@DevanBrahh for fucks sake. it's a christian festival, they are a christian band. they will do what they please. and in case you couldn't see, they also have the whole crowd captured with their words.

[DevanBrahh]

@iusedtohaveabeard shut the fuck up dick wad i was stating my opinion

[getinmybackpack]

@iusedtohaveabeard Your not setting the best example bro

[ditdadi3]

@DevanBrahh Why would they change who they are for Hardcore kids??

[DevanBrahh]

@ditdadi3

Im not sure

[DerekLikesToParty]

@ditdadi3 hardcore kids can suck it. they are spreading the word of god. thats greater than they will ever be

[okballer]

@DevanBrahh If Christianity is false, then it means nothing. If it is true, then it means EVERYTHING. There is no halfway point, For Today will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ until the day they die... I hope you find the truth, God bless.

[xTylerRulezD00dx]

@okballer I agree 100% with you.

[Mychildrenburn5263]

judging by the fact that they are a Christian band and a christian festival....Your gonna get that

[Mychildrenburn5263]

why can't you construct a normal sentance?

[slutmufffin57]

@Mychildrenburn5263 Why can't you spell a simple word?

[iDRUM402]

thats what theyre about bro. theyre gonna spread the word of God no matter what it takes.

[DevanBrahh]

@jimb2455

thankyou!

[LoLoBomBomBuna]

your ignorance won't give you what you need... what a bastard

[kytown34]

[daydreamer92ify]

[TDWPfanZA]

freaking weak crowd

[ator333]

im from the il and cornerstone is hella big here

[JaycupOnWoW]

Lol RATxKILLEDxTHExBEAR you must have never been to Cornerstone before then. If you think christian hardcore doesn't have a pit. Look it up man it's always at the end of June beginning of July in Bushnell, IL. Amazing 7 day music festival!

[RATxKILLEDxTHExBEAR]

haha you guys need to chill. I really like this band. There really good. I don't agree with the religious aspect but im not telling them to change. They do what they want.

[RATxKILLEDxTHExBEAR]

is there even a pit at christian shows like these i mean haha this shits kinda lame

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@RATxKILLEDxTHExBEAR go listen to waking the cadaver

[NolanJohnstone30]

why would you listen to something if you don't like the lyrics? pick a different band then. must take someone real intelligent to drop an F bomb in their lyrics. and if you can't see, just look kinda like, right in the very middle of the crowd and there's the pit. hard to notice, i know.

[NolanJohnstone30]

watch the parkway drive live dvd footage of boneyards. that seems to be what you're looking for.

[RATxKILLEDxTHExBEAR]

this bands music is good and so are the vox but the lyrics are shit...idk fuck christian metal

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@RATxKILLEDxTHExBEAR go somewhere else then.

[casualhitman]

Right there smack dab in the middle front pit, so AWSOME! too bad they ever played elijah or ezekial live

[plouto50]

[23metalfreak]

[jetto1234567]

hey does anyone know what that little pad is that the drummer uses to do the bass boosts?

[ERICistheafterparty]

its just a programable pad like on an electric kit and they assign an 808 to it

[jbhc123]

its just an e-drum pad hooked up to an 808 sound effect

[FatalCombatFatality]

so amazing i wish they played more shows on the west coast..................

[iusedtohaveabeard]

i wish they PLAYED shows in canada that aren't always toronto or monreal

[buy1getonefree]
