  • incredible.. underrated band. amazing. and darkness unresolved down below they are BLACK METAL NOT FUCKING METAL CORE.

  • could do with out the screamo vox

  • Sounds like a bunch of scenefaggots heard Cradle of Filth in a Hot Topic, and decided they could be kvlt and br00tal, too.

  • @EarDeth sounds like you have no balls

  • Either fucking be a SYMPHONIC BLACK METAL band, or be a METALCORE band, but these assholes need to make up their fucking minds!

  • @DarknessUnresolved Who cares they still kick ass. Compared to other BM bands

  • @Disfiguredwarfare333 Compared to Cradle of Filth, perhaps. Otherwise, AW is non-BM poser bullocks.

  • Ashley Elleyllon is awesome, while not the most technical, her style breaths such a haunting atmosphere into their music.

  • When I heard this band I thought they suck but now that I've seen them in concert their pretty damn good

  • 2:32

    Says it all. 

  • who's that keyboard player??? she's awesome!!!

  • Going to see Abigail Williams OCT. 30. cant wait

  • cool stuff but the guitar leads while good dont fit in the music

  • @Demonbane41276

    It's cause it's a mash up of metalcore and black metal haha...

  • DUUDE, KNOW WHAT I JUST NOTICED?! THE INTRO FOR THIS SONG, IS ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL THEME FOR THE FIRST BATMAN FILM, YOU KNOW THE GOOD ONE?! I MEAN THAT'S AWESOME, YOU PROBABLY DON'T CARE SINCE YOU'RE NOT IN THE BAND ANYMORE, BUT I USED THIS VIDEO TO VALIDATE MY THEORY. HERE IS PROOF: watch?v=jY760O_TTqg

  • No bass no metal.

  • I don't know why any metal band still has a bass player. 99% of the time whatever he's playing just blends together with the drums.

  • 1.20 never fails to give me an instantaneous boner.. the guitar riff would make most black metal fans cream like shit..

  • lol @ johnathan davis. when will people realize that not only is it impossible to genre-lize every band down to every fucking detail, but it pigeon holes the CREATORS of the music and takes away every sense of creativity the song ever had. you goddamn dicks

  • OMD now i know why demi loves this band (:

  • Jeez, check out how high his stick goes when blasting on the snare. It like hits him in the face, lol

  • I paused at :22 seconds for a little bit... hehe

  • I love that fucking bass drums motherfuckers...

  • Comment removed

  • not saying its bad, but personally I prefer Dani Filth's volcals

  • The vocals are very good, its just that the vocalist looks like hes throwing a temper tantrum

  • perfect vocal, perfect melody, perfect guitar riffs... just perfect =)

  • 21 people dont know what real music is...

  • This song is Absolute Darkness!

  • these guys deserve so much more fame than they have, they're amazing, care about the fans and are real

  • Man I Seen These Guys LIVE FUCK THEY OWN North American Black Metal....and it was the all shall perish tour too, see genres can get along pussies drop it

  • great music video and band just wish the vocalist would move around a little more instead of just standing there

  • Hey dumb asses, it is black metal with a little bit of metal core sprinkled in. 95% Black metal and about 5% metalcore . That tiny bit of metalcore is what makes this an AMERICAN BLACK METAL Band. Its the american influence. It is still black metal. You freegin twads.

  • @mixmastermyke uh no, its fucking not. Stay within your core subgenres and leave a big genre like black metal, which has nothing to do with this, alone. American black metal band. This is why I hate sub genres..they get more inventive by the day.

  • If I had to call it something I'd call it black metalcore. However, I'm not going to sit here and try and claim that it is a genre. Nothing death metal about these guys, though.

  • If we must talk chicks in metal, then talk about girls that legitamitely are pretty fuckin metal. If i'm going to be with a girl I want something in common. Not some dumb bimbo hammering a keyboard.

  • This intro solo is my all time favorite guitar solo.... its so bad ass, it's like the theme to the apocalypse

  • The girl has a lil girl face. There I said it. Woman's body, but a face that could remind a man of his daughter. That's not good. In fact, that's bad. As shit.

  • @NebirosAndWinter i agree personally. but some men like that kinda thing but just not for me.

  • @Kingtunice Yea, I mean seriously. A man shouldn't want to have sex with a girl. These trendy people are so good about pedophilia. Which is good, I'll pass on twenty years. Sucks that I am paying to feed that bastard though. ha!

  • I like this video. unlike every other music video clip i have seen of metal bands, this camera equally focuses on all the band members. Usually we only see the guitarists and singer up close. but in this we can also see the drummer (samus) and keyboardist (ash) equally. but in all seriousness the keyboardist is mega hot.

  • i can appreciate what they're trying to do. but this isn't symphonic black metal. lose the shred guitar, and that breakdown-esque moment(s) (i'm speaking on the whole album, not just this song) and there you will have the symphonic black metal sound.

  • @itsybitsyzombie There are some other black metal bands that have pulled off shred guitar in symphonic. They touch pretty close. I mean, so long as it's fluid and dark its good. This bands is a win in my book. The demo was just ok but really didn't hit all the way home. In the shadow of a thousand suns REALLY showed me something sexy. And i liked it. As for the breakdowns, I couldn't agree more. I never understood why they exist. Stamina-less guitarists i guess. HA!

  • hey guys im a 17 year old sexist prick who cant see a female in a band without making some stupid misogynistic comment! THATS BRUTAL

  • @celestialsuicide misogynistic!!!! YEAH fucking intellectual words for the win! XD

  • 2:14 looks like hes gearing up for one of those chain saw dance things lol

  • Was always meaning to look this band up, pretty cool music :)

  • I laugh every time i hear this music lol.. The reason i looked it up was bc someone at my school is makin a band like this so i was like hey lets see if it good but no it sounds like a video game lose the keyboard and maybe tho. And the Vocals are good but im more of a Post-Hardcore of Metalcore person Black-Metal sounds like the mario bros went and got stonned or something.

  • @RWSThe101 no one cares

  • @RWSThe101 also not all black metal has keyboards man look up mayhem or bathory

  • @RWSThe101

    This isn't straight forward black metal. Of course you're a metalcore person, you're obviously a dumbass.

  • @lilbluependragon Hey, Hey I was told this was Black Metal by someone and it's Classified as Black Metal on every site i've check . Their know to be one of the few american Black Metal bands so i think YOUR the Dumbass.

  • @RWSThe101

    Was it the same person who told you to capitalize 'black metal'? They aren't a straight forward black metal band, they are much too 'pretty' and have 'core' elements. While they are a great band they do not in any way represent the black metal genre as a whole. It's like saying Trivium represents metalcore.

  • @lilbluependragon Naw I just do that because you usually capitalize genres of music...

  • @RWSThe101

    Try Christ Beheaded, Nachtmystium, Dimentianon, Averse Sefira, Goatwhore, etc.

  • @lilbluependragon Naw those bands sound fucking creepy, I think I'll just take my opinion and leave, later bro.

  • @RWSThe101

    That's the point. :P Later.

  • Face melter

  • this is so shit. all i need to do is be constipated and vomiting to make that fucking irritating noise.

  • i hate when people diss the vocals, i think they make it more evil sounding

  • The vocals are totally metalcore, or deathcore to say the least. not death metal, nor black metal. and they sound like the love child of new-er Dimmu Borgir and Suicide Silence. I'm not dissing, just saying. great effort though

  • This Is Melodic Black Metal With a Touch Of Deth Metal, Not Fucking Metalcore

  • your supposed to wounder if the woman's lover ever existed at all.she travels deeper and deeper into darkness in pursuit of an allusion she indulges lust with the man and he is symbolic of evil

  • Shit is awesome....vocals kick ass...you are all trippin. Its BLACKENED death metal....not black metal =D Drop some acid and listen to this cd...then tell me its not fucking sick.

  • Damnit man. I'm glad this group lost all of it members except for the lead. Everyone sounds great EXCEPT him. I hate high-pitched screaming. When you ave a group like Otep where the chick has a deep guttural growl there isn't any excuse for such a weak voice. Makes me want to go back to listening to Mudvayne...

  • no this is not black there is a lot of black influence but it dosent sound black

  • I fucking forget about those guyss wow to fucking amazing

  • ridiculous live energy.

  • Awesome, exept for the singer, the rest sounds awesome. Don't get me wrong, I love black metal but this singer sounds like squeezed mices

  • Wow!!! I love this video!!! You look hott in this Samus!! :))

  • hahah this band fuckin rocks...

  • This shit is about as black metal as Cradle of Filth is...

  • fucking sick song and video ;D

  • I've got tickets for Abigail Williams this June 3rd at the world famous Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood! If interested hit me up!!!

    They kick ass!

    \m/ \m/

  • The vox are good, but there should be more lows.

  • @collin96coco nigga its black metal `-`

  • @Hordeofantestor that doesn't mean it's illegal to have growls.

  • SAmus GREAT!!!

  • who the fuck is jonathan davis

  • The vocals aren't so great. but the drumming is excellent.

  • @nobodyfresh13 I actually think the vocals suit the music perfectly, which in my opinion is more important than the quality of the vocals on itself. but yeah, the drumming is AWESOME

  • It started promisingly then kind of just went to shit when the vocals started. Too much bree bree deathcore vocals and blast beats.

  • this band is fukin bad ass =D

  • American black metal is ABSU only...

  • The song is very good and the music are amazing but the vocal make this song like shit and if Jonathan Davis was the vocal the song will be better.

  • @godsmackerna Then it wouldn't be black metal.

  • @DeathToEnemies maybe

  • @godsmackerna Do you even know what the hell black metal sounds like? Jonahtan Davis would not fit into a black metal band.

  • @Epica124 Maybe jonathan davis is not fit for hell black metal, but i see a lot of people agree about the vocal make this song very bad.

    Maybe some people like it, maybe I'll like if the vocal changed

  • @DeathToEnemies well you know this is not the traditional black metal vocal.this vox are more metalcore shit

  • @mybstdrumnbass Lol!! It's funny because the first thing I thought when I saw the vocalist was "Wow, he kinda looks like Phil LaBonte in this video... " And no, this is definately not traditional in any sense though I love it just the same :B

  • Sorceron is kill! jonathan davis fuck him

  • what genre is this?

  • it doesnt matter, what matters is the skill in which the band portrays themselves

  • @ChinoMoreno4life American Black Metal

  • 1:21 Rabblerabblerabblerabblerabble­!!!!

  • Replace the singer from AW with Jonathan Davis and slow down? GTFO Stupid nu metal fag

  • where's the last 16 seconds of the song?

  • pretty cool how samus has a video of him being 15 and playing double bass for the first time and now hes doing this, this is fucking amazing

  • i click on a video and i see a raging nerd war! *hides*

    comment about the song: amazing song. i wish ellyllon was still in the band =[ such an amazing pianist. *slight tear*

  • you know what really grinds my gears..these morons who come on these videos and trash the band...if you dont like the music then get the fuck out of here and stop wasting our time with you stupid ignorant comments like that godsmackerna comment..and for you narrow minded pricks that think this takes no talent i have an idea for you...stfu put your money where you mouth is and compose something better...til then stfu..this band rules...keep rockin!

  • NOT deathcore. good band.

  • @godsmackerna

    Uh... from Korn? Korn sucks shit. In fact, Nu metal like godsmack sucks shit too. Listen to music with skill, nubcake.

  • @iThrashNano

    If Korn suck why every album they produce hit the top 10 worldwide?

    Why they are famous?

    Why band like Abigail Williams never heard about it or seen it at any top 10 in last decade or at any radio station or in any shit in the world?The answer for the last question is: it's better to keep there shit for themselves.

    And I'm not the only one who said that as you can see all the comments saying the same no one like the shit they present try to clean shit from your head

  • @godsmackerna

    Record sales don't mean shit. Why is Talyor Swift famous if she sucks so bad?

  • @iThrashNano

    look body forget about sales, if Korn or Godsmack or any nu metal band make a party & at the same time Abigail Williams make a party to look how many people will attend for nu metal band and for Abigail Williams.

    we all now the answer on one will think to attend for Abigail Williams & they will go to nu metal band.

    Ask yourself why than answer yourself who is much more better Nu Metal or Abigail Williams?

  • @godsmackerna

    That was horrible sentence structure. Nu Metal = Talentless. All they can play is power chords. I hardly listen to Abigail Williams, so I don't know why you brought them up. Your argument is lacking and your just a fag looking to get attention by flaming this video.

  • @iThrashNano

    Just for correction Nu Metal = Talent, Art & real music not trash like other genres.

  • @godsmackerna

    Oh my god. They can't play their instruments for shit, how do they have talent? Like I said before, your responding because you want attention. Please stop. You lost, its over. Your argument is weaker then your musical taste.

  • @iThrashNano

    If they are not talented, who are talented than?

  • @godsmackerna Wintersun Megadeth Slayer Norther 3 Inches of Blood Nile Judas Priest Warbringer Athiest and Forbidden Just to name a few who can play guitar, bass, drums, and sing better then nu metal fags.
  • @iThrashNano

    From what you have said it seems there are big different in tastes between you and me.

    All the band you have mentioned i don't like them except slayer, so i can't say any thing to make you change your mind but sorry for disturbing you.

  • @godsmackerna

    dude, nu metal is the combination of rap and metal, and the most popular music has become rap and pop. That's why bands like Korn is at top. That doesn't mean they have talent, nor does being infamous is untalented. Most nu-metal isn't really metal btw, it's basically rap and hard rock. Guitar riffs in nu-metal are way too simplistic and lame. I don't even understand why nu metal bands rip off each other, including Disturbed ripping off their own songs...

  • Mainstream/pop music is utterly disgusting and lame. there is no talent. anyone who understands what a minor scale is can play nu-metal/rock. you just throw a bunch of power chord together and get a generic boring drum line to go along with it

    seriously, have you ever cleaned the jizz out of your ears and actually listened to music?

  • @MetalGuitarist99 true true, it is ridiculously lame.. but it becomes mainstream for a reason, that reason being that most of the world has absolutly no musical understanding

  • @MetalGuitarist99 like 1000 times!!!

  • @MetalGuitarist99 so you're admitting you've had jizz in your ears at some point? thats nasssty. i agree with you tho.

  • @MetalGuitarist99 the fucked up thing is the same thing you said about nu metal to an extent applies to black metal. Get a minor chord diminished 5th progression going with some generic blast beats and tremolo strumming and voila you have black metal.

  • blackend deathcore? what was with that breakdown and deathcore vocals taht shit sucks

  • vocals sounds a little dethcore but other than that good song

  • i like this song, except the vocals.

    AND DONT YELL AT ME.

    I said i dont like them, i preffer deeper vocals. But still respect this songer

    Good song. anyone know some other good stuff of these guys?

  • RAWR YELLING AT YOU! >.>

  • D : you broke my heart!!!!

  • Bahahaha'z. xD Glad to see you can actually take a joke.

  • @Disnamesucksass

    Yeah i don't care for the vocals either, but the instrumentals definitely more than make up for it, and they grow on you after a while.

    Check out The Departure, Acolytes, The World Beyond, Like Carrion Birds and my personal fav, A Thousand Suns \m/

  • Lol this is the first time I listen to them, and they aren't bad. Cradle of Filth is a better fit for Ashley though. :P

  • fucking brutal!

  • i hate the vocals, too cookie cutter sounding

  • whoa were you supposed to be a stain on your parents bed?

  • FUCK DEMI LOVATO, what would you consider music.

  • Comment removed

  • @ohhowsplendid

    whoah you serious? my little sister listen that disney pop diva, never in a million years would I imagine her listening to this?

  • uh huh. I think Demi listens to just about EVERY type of music.she's amazing like that

  • when they were deathcore? that shit was cool but noones toppin abigail for me in their style now. their new tour ep is dope as hell too, i cant wait for the new cd.

  • @shrew616 Emperor dose did the Symphoinc Black Metal style better. But then again both bands came out at different times so...

  • @Epica124 yeah Emperor is dope too, but like you said, they both rose in their own times. it's all good though.

  • saw these guys live over a year ago and they were amazingggg! such a good tune

  • bad ass song

  • That keyboardist need a dick in her ass, stat! Don't worry folks, I'm a doctor.

  • @Discoursemerchant82 ashley ellyllon is soooo fuckinhot

  • @Discoursemerchant82 im pretty sure your not a doctor because im sure youd realize thinking about sex 24-7 isnt healthy, asshole. i hate when people see a girl and the first thing that pops in their mind is sex...

  • @WTFguy564 i can see where you're coming from, but when the girl dresses slutty, it's pretty much her own fault.

  • omg at this vocalist... how would i describe.... He truly got a very intresting voice :D i really like this one \m/

  • love this song,starts out with a beautiful piano intro and then explodes into pure ecstacy

  • Piano intro sounds like something straight out of the 1600's/1700's

  • Dude the piano didn't become popular until the late 1700s.

  • They've had pianos since the 1400's dude, haha

  • this is new stuff i liked em better when they where deathcore

  • he really should have been holding a microphone in this vid. he looks like a goon.

  • badass thts all

  • i wish samus didn't leave

  • Love the instrumentals and the talent to make such MUSIC.... but the singing has to go.

    Anywhere I can get the instrumentals without this faggot screaming like a little how with cum in her throat. The vocals just kill such amazing MUSIC.

  • fxcking awesome

  • sensual

  • Its simple....If you don't like it then don't look it up. There are plenty of other videos on Youtube to see.

  • Wow, this is just the biggest shit music I've ever heard. I'm sorry, lose the fucking screamer, he sure can scream as far as toads go. You have way more talent then to play to shit music like this. Only thing worse then the screamer is the name of the band. Wtf is that all about?

  • Dude... this music isn't shit? And in case you didn't notice, this style of music takes a SHIT LOAD of talent to play.

    And it's black metal, and as far as I'm concerned, he has a pretty good black metal scream.

    And you know who Abigail Williams is don't you? If not, you need to go back to school, or read a fucking book.

    Abigail Williams was the girl in Salem who convicted pretty much the whole town of being witches, and a ton of people were killed/burned at the stake. Noob.

  • simply amazing!!!...even when they sound pretty close to Dimmu, the truth is that they have something that makes them different...anyway...for me this is a killer band I have heard so many in 20 years into metal music so this is not the usual boring and predictable stuff we get nowadays...

  • This is hardly core...But if you don't like it... don't listen to it. If you want to pick apart their techniques... Make a band and upload your song. Then let me pick apart your techniques... Deal?

  • well.. i like the song, but i hate the clip.. its kinda gay... its my opinion, i dont like it...

  • good band , bad vocals... scream is a no ( for me anyway) :O he sounds alot better when its abit deeper...

  • the vocals are exactly the same as of the vocals in the band: ILLNATH

  • i don't see what everyone is complaining about. it's a good band. it doesn't have to sound like every other black metal band to be black metal. come on people. it's called being innovative. besides that...i love abigail...one of my favorites.

  • you know all this core stuff feels like to me? It feels like when Hollywood takes a great cartoon, or a great foreign film, and they rape the shit out of it for money, it's a similar feeling to when they take some awesome kind of metal, and they do a crappy "core" version of it.
