ESSENCE (Official) - "BLOOD CULTURE" music video HD

[MrMetalMayhem]

can't wait for the new album!!

[thesm1l3y]

Why did you guys even bother making a music-video for this? I'm to busy with headbanging along, i can't even look at the video! :D

First i heard some songs from you withaout that Video, so i didn't know who you are and i thought, because of the Cover of your Album and what i heard in your songs that the had to be some old Thrash-Warriors, at least in your 40s, than i looked up your band and i went fully-roundhouse "WTF?!?" when i saw those Bandpictures XD

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@thesm1l3y hahahaha! Well, you can be surprised anytime it seems! :D We're 22 years old atm, so we where 20 when we recorded LIV.... and that's NOT old! :D haha. Cheers and thanks for taking time out to write us a message! :)

[darkthrone741]

i hope this guys tour around the u.s

[Leftbehind47]

@OfficialEssenceMetal More like: You, Evile, Gama Bomb and Kreator :D

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@Leftbehind47 Well, all righty then! We're in! :D

[DieForMetal95]

Awesome! Only thrash band i like so far.

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@DieForMetal95 We're honored!

[dumbiownd]

i think i just jizzed :P

[shadowthehedhog5421]

these guys should be on the modern big 4 \m/

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@shadowthehedhog5421 That would be sweet! Us, Slipknot, Volbeat & Sonic Syndicate.........

[TheMaggot1994]

@OfficialEssenceMetal Actually you're a lot better than Slipknot, Volbeat or Sonic Syndicate :D

I would prefer you, In Flames, Debauchery and Machine Head ;)

[shipprekk]

Grow your hair out. Great song, by the way.

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@shipprekk Grow your own hair out... on the back! Thanks mate!

[TheAngryCars]

epic bass solo

[niryanable]

Fantastic! Does anyone know where to get FULL bass tab? I was looking for it on Google, but could only seem to find the intro :)

[LordVicRattlehead]

Wow that bass intro got me instantly hooked. I hate this new Thrash stuff but wow, amazing. Excellent vocals, guitars, drums, and of course bass. These guys have serious potential

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@LordVicRattlehead Your comment really means a lot to us :) Thanks for taking time out to write it!

[zxhotshotbaby]

Did you guys know there is another Essence band?... Too bad they are terrible.

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@zxhotshotbaby haha, well, you know, "Essence" is pretty common like "Slayer" would've been, if there wasn't a big band by that name. It's all about taking the name and making it your own, so other people won't want to use it for their own stuff! :)

[landkirkman]

really digging the vocals and the flow of the lyrics in this song

[whipmanjak]

FUCK this song is pure thrash. Every aspect of this song is amazing...the guitar, bass, drums, lyrics, atmosphere....it ALL kicks so much ass and gives me hope for the world. Thanks for existing!!

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@whipmanjak Thanks! We glad to bring hope back to the world!

[Samu308]

Just awesome. Got to learn that intro! It's a must for any bass player.

Perfect thrash album this one. Greetings from Portugal :D

[Adriano66613]

Banda muito fodaaaa 

[rossosnaruto]

[zhollenwvu]

Wow...i heard one song and i was hooked. You guys rock, love Lost in Violence! Keep it coming!

[Corranhorn122]

Pretty sweet guys. Keep pushing forward with the new thrash movement. I like that you've kept, more than less, a traditional thrash metal vibe, but have a modern, clean look to your video. It would be interesting to see you guys in concert. :)

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@Corranhorn122 You're welcome at any show mate! :) Shots on us!

[hotdevilzz]

Guys listen to Shades Of Black, Aggresive Attack, Pestilence! Such a talented band!

[slaythedickheads]

Mr. Infidel send me here!!

Awesome song and band.

[PWNDPhoneCallZ]

I HATED thrash metal till i listened to you guys!!!!

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@PWNDPhoneCallZ We hated YOU untill you listened to us! :D haha. We're glad that you like what we're doing man!

[PWNDPhoneCallZ]

@OfficialEssenceMetal HAHAHA But seriouslty, Good stuff! I'll definatly be picking up a cd when I see one

[Neo7l]

I had to find the pieces of my chin all over my room. It broke in 1000 pieces during the intro

[OPETHDIVINITY]

I can definitely hear elements of Slayer in this. I'm seriously impressed!!! 

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@OPETHDIVINITY We're seriously satisfied that you like it!

[TheBriiyanztorme]

Yeah!!.....



[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@TheBriiyanztorme FUKK YEAH!

[Lhagstroem]

Danish music when it's best. Great f****** TUNE! Check out Manic Noise on my channel, if you into Danish hard rock music! ROCK ON!

[mtalBass]

16 people can't play bass with their fingers

[Death66reaper6]

what tuning is this in? and are there tabs?

[BoomBoomSn1p3r]

The bass here is what truly distinguishes this song from any other thrash metal song. The lyrics are unique... well hell, the whole tune is.

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@BoomBoomSn1p3r Awwww... thanks man!

[Cocorikot]

The bass taping intro is so epic !

[MidnightMadnessRocks]

If you would like to have your video on my music video TV show Midnight Madness TV please contact me for details?

[Knux897]

This is the only modern thrash band I like. The work sounds so mature and it's just genius.

[Ekkyzor]

..Hold kæft det er fedt!

Seriøst fedt nummer, godt at høre!

[razzaxxe]

[666xThrasher]

[TheSurfzomb]

Damn that bass tapping at beginning. Very nice.

[powerdeathcore]

THRASH NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CasterFOLK]

[holle1995]

0:00 - 1:21 is just fucking amazing! The rest is just amazing!

[MegaRONDEL]

LEGENDARY..............

[willeyg666]

You guys are fucking amazing! The singer has a sick voice, the guitar tones and riffs are perfect, your drummer plays so well and your bassist is skilled unlike most bass players these days (myself included)

[Shy852]

Ive never liked trash metal till I listened to you guys o.o Know i love it :D

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@Shy852 That's awesome! :)

[Shy852]

@OfficialEssenceMetal You made me see the light :)

[biggben561]

@Shy852 How can you not like Thrash metal? o_O

[Pyramaze82]

@Shy852 ok, i'm happy for you, but now learn a little thing: Thrash metal.. not trash metal :P

[Shy852]

[F3rgo666]

Awesome Song!!!

[anagreen3]

[0LukasYagami]

This is SO FUCKING BADASS, what a headcrushing song! Greetings from Brazil!

[MegaRONDEL]

The elder BIG 4 have found a champion......the elders are finally happy for themselves coz they can tone down their belligerence, which s not good to age with. They will see their Keeper in ESSENCE. Its your time now.

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@MegaRONDEL That you very much! We appreciate your words!

[GenaGrom777]

невероятно классная банда, особенно для новичков

и первый альб ахуеный

посмотрим, что будет дальше

[MegaRONDEL]

THASH born again. Most thrashy sound of this generation. Many can give up posing thrash and follow the newer lead.

[Wazakindjes]

@Planes33333333333333 It's thrash, you retard. You, on the other hand, are pure trash indeed.

[MelodicDeathNinja]

guitar tabs ?

[FolkMetalPiper]

Sounds than bring out involuntary headbanging: this one.

[tmac791202]

jizz in my bass!

[soulofshiver]

DAT BASS

[meskalinmaskin]

fucking awesome guys

[txilos]

Excellent... specially bass and voice

[JasonGuitarHand]

Infidel... i love you

[mrdillerfar]

Liking the bass a lot. Got a little disappointed when it turned out to be trash but hey, that's just my personal taste. For a trash band, this is pretty damn good anyway.

[Solarsdk]

@mrdillerfar Dude, It's Thrash not Trash. You know like Thrasing like a Maniac, not Gabage ;-)

[skolnick14]

@mrdillerfar it's called thrash. What did you want it to be? Some girlish metalcore?

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@mrdillerfar .. and for a person that does not like thrash, you really choose to like the right band!

[kidsTeachGuitar2kids]

We love the song and the bass guitar is incredile with an amazing tone. The overall production and sound is awesome!

[Tjallestyle]

omg, have only just heard about the band, and this was the first song i heard, i loove already good job..

im danish and i proud!

[rossosnaruto]

FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!! how old are these guys?

[PhilippRsN]

VISIT RATISBONA, GERMANY!!!!

Ratisbona needs some trve thrash \,,/,

[Infor12]

the bass player... actualy ...plays...Finally a decent bass player in a metal band \m/

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@Infor12 Yeah, we think so too man... and of course we had to kick him out. Christ, is that ironic or what!

[eljoking]

fuck metalcore... this is the best way!

[Milky1Joe]

Just discovered this band, Fucking brilliance.

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@Milky1Joe Fucking awesome that you found us!

[EdUntouchable93]

you guys are awesome! saw you @ Vagos Open Air, and if you return to Portugal I'll certainly be there... it was a fuckin' warzone... I actually have a scar in me knee from this song! thanks guys, keep it on \../

[8Electrify8]

This new wave scene really needs more quality Thrash bands like Essence, Woslom, Evile, Suicidal Angels, Warpath, Havok, Dark Serpent. NOT those lame joke thrash and crossover bands. You know who you are. Put those pea brains to work and write some decent Thrash tunes.

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@8Electrify8 Wauw! Thanks! We're recording our 2nd album right now - keep an eye out on our facebook site (EssenceMetal) for updates on it! :)

[CaptainMrAndy]

Fuck jeg elsker det drenge :D

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@CaptainMrAndy Sådan! :D

[BuxmanCRO]

THRASH!!!!!! <3 :D

[grogmaninteractive]

Great song.

The riff remembers Paradox - 700 Years On

[bobbsen93]

Jeg forstår ikke introen, den har ikke rigtig noget at gøre med resten af sangen, eller er det bare mig? derudover SUPER fed sang, og jeg elsker introen, det lyder for vildt.. I skal nok blive til noget! undere mig bare :D! men super fedt band i har gang i her!

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@bobbsen93 Metal er en sjov størrelse, og fra tid til anden støder man på noget syret musik, som får en til at kommentere det :D Og det er dét der betyder noget!

[Tyrnax]

Kunne det lade sig gøre at få bass tabs? fed bass!

[Death66reaper6]

must. have. tabs.

[Tyrnax]

@Death66reaper6 True, especially for the bass ! Damn man :b i wanna play. !

[reet12337]

@Tyrnax there is tabs for the intro bass @ ultimate-guitar. tabs from essence themselves.

[Tyrnax]

@reet12337 Nice thanks man

[Tyrnax]

@reet12337 Cant find them, could you send a link?

[grogmaninteractive]

Great song, so young but so aggressive!

[jackomco]

[Firedrakul2]

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@Firedrakul2 Well spoken sire - like a true sir!

[jesusmetal92107]

[Mr666Viking666]

My neighbours like this so much they invited the police over to come listen!

[CasterFOLK]

[Thenewdane]

[Thenewdane]

I mean wow! , og så på dansk :P Jeg så jer på Roskilde og var blæst bagud i har nu endu en fan :) mega god enagi drenge hold dampen oppe :P

[Theoricus1]

It frustrates me how good the vocal delivery is in this. I'm not a huge thrash fan usually, but seriously, amazing stuff. Stupidly high levels of potential here haha. Come tour the UK! :P

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@Theoricus1 hahaha! Thanks a lot man. We would love to play in the UK! Hopefully we will soon! :)

[MetallicaInMyHead]

In a few years if you guys won't be headlining Wacken and other metal festivals , i'm going to cut off my dick !! \m/

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@MetallicaInMyHead haha! Well, we would sure like to headline Wacken at some point, but then again, it's a big sacrifice you'll be doing... :D

[MetallicaInMyHead]

@OfficialEssenceMetal It is a big sacrifice , but everything is worth it :)

[retardtrololo]

@MetallicaInMyHead do it anyways, it would be pretty brutal

[MrCookieJacker]

DANSK METAL FTW!

[Mr666Viking666]

Does anyone know what bass he is playing please i want to know if it fits my budget :)

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@Mr666Viking666 It's a Fender Jazz bass guitar from 1964 and it's worth around 6000 euros (aprox. 45.000 DDK) :) It's a great bass and it sounds awesome!

[Mr666Viking666]

@OfficialEssenceMetal yeah it does sound awesome. but i dont have that much money to spend :-( do u know any bass that sounds a bit like it? for a bit cheaper? ( approx 600 euros?)

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@Mr666Viking666 Mmh, the MusicMan basses are pretty damned good bass guitars. Try one of those! You wont be disappointed :)

[AnnoyedByHam11]

I love this song!! You guys made some killer riffs. Then opened up a medical dictionary.

[TheAncientMetalhead]

You,Lich King and Violator, are the best Thrash bands of the New Age!!!

Congrads for delivering passioned and quality Thrash to us!!!

Rage on Brothers in Arms!!!

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@TheAncientMetalhead Geeeeesus! Thank you very muuuuuuch!! :D Rage on brother!

[ETV101]

awesome song the bass kicks so much ass and the lead singers sounds a little like anders friden from in flames just with the right voice not like anders that sounds like he's about to cry

[TheTrooper1998]

Finally a thrash metal band that doesnt try to imitate slayer. Great fucking job guys I love it! (Thank you Infidel)

[Gilissen]

Anyone else getting an '80s actionmovie vibe from the bass that starts at 47sec ?

Or a Duke Nukem vibe that starts at 1:58 :)

[draganov]

I just found about this band (today) and I fucking love it :) Damn, I love every band that comes from Denmark, the people there create brilliant metal :) 

[ThrashL0Rd]

you guys are awesome, bought your cd along with exodus' exhibit B, and tha's saying too much, keep up the killer work. Already spreading the word here in Mexico. Thraaaaaaaaaaaaasshhhhhh!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@ThrashL0Rd Thanks mate! :D We appreciate it!

[TheSalomechan]

mark is an awesome guitar player...

lasse has a very nice voice and i love the lyric

the drums wow!!! it's amazing.

[lolfacethingballs]

[singular23]

Ikke dårligt :-)

[vaggelisfear]

this is awesome thrash metal attack! greetings from Greece!

[MrMetalMayhem]

Essence and other very few bands (like Evile) comprove that true NEW thrash metal can be made without being repetitive.

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@MrMetalMayhem We're doing our best to create something new, and hopefully you will enjoy our next album, which we are recording right now! :)

[gryzlov]

Excellent bass tapping intro...I'm a little ashamed to say that I could tell what kind of bass it was solely by the tone.

[MadcapMacabre]

This is phenomenal :O

[superhuper1]

Hi Essence...i wanted to ask you guys for a full bass-tab of this song maybe? :) would be very freakin nice dudes :D

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@superhuper1 You should look at Ultimate-Guitar for tabs! :)

[MRSupernova100]

jeg er så fucking glad for at Danmark faktisk kan lave godt musik ^^

translate:

im so fucking happy that Denmark actually can make good music ^^

[MasterofKnees]

These guys kick major ass, shouldn't be wondering me that in 20 years they'll be headlining big festivals like Sonisphere.

[AzureInnocence]

That BASS is awesome. <3 \m/

[obsessivemusician]

does anyone have the tabs to the bass solo in the beginning? anyone at all? i would LOVE to have them, my band is thinking about covering this song.

[Wednesday13dk]

@obsessivemusician I uploadet it on ultimate guitar as a Guitar pro tab.. Else you can find it on the Essence fanpage on Facebook.

[ozi76]

This song is fuckin' mint!

[STBT]

@AtyncX De spillede på Roskilde i år.

[ultraviolentgeisha]

[tommystix87]

[ThrashManiac01]

Fuck, this is awesome!!!! Any gigs in Copenhagen any time soon?

[Ajax8426]

Didnt this bassist leave?

[reet12337]

@Ajax8426 Yes he did. They now have a new one.

[Death66reaper6]

what kind of guitar is the vocalist playing? i can't figure it out for the life of me.

[OfficialEssenceMetal]

@Death66reaper6 He's playing a ESP 603, but he has custom made it. That's why it can be hard to recognize!

@OfficialEssenceMetal thanks! it was really bothering me.
