The Human Abstract - Vela, Together We Await The Storm (Official Music Video)

[melonhabitat]

RIP THA

[SynysterKezia]

@melonhabitat

Whachu talking 'bout, Willis? Pretty sure they're only taking a break

[melonhabitat]

@SynysterKezia

Man it just doesn't look to good. Singer left midtour, hiatus. I really wish they would stay together, but it's looking doubtful :(

[SynysterKezia]

@melonhabitat

Worst!  THA is fucking bomb. I'd be so super sadtimes if the split... AJ will probably keep making music, though, and anything he's a part of is bound to be phenomenal

[melonhabitat]

@SynysterKezia I know! He definitely will, and it's not set in stone or anything yet. I'd love to see them live if they do come off it, but if otherwise I'm just grateful that they put out the masterpieces Nocturne and Digital Veil!

[theprsking187]

31 ppl cant recognize talent when they hear it

[leerey14]

Minette looks like such a beast in this video.

[greenbeaner69]

deans dreads have grown a bit since this. i have a bunch of THA covers on my channel if u guys could check em out. thanks!

[misstrKevin]

Travis definitely had better vocal range but man i love Nathan's vocals way better. sucks i got into the band after Travis left. I hate my life.

[rwfsmith]

@misstrKevin Yeah, I didn't get to see them live until late last year when they had a guest vocalist. I forget his name, but he did a fantastic job and the whole band was absolutely amazing.

[chesinse2]

ahahahaha

[ZekeThompson22]

This song is amazing! That intro....ugh! haha

[virus6hh]

I don't understand the music video

[METALdude1195]

1:20 BEAST MODE ENGAGED!

[WachaDrop]

Love the band and the screamer, but I don't like the clean vocals. =\

[PhelanEric87]

Lol they did get back together lol. Jesus morons

[amazingman40]

I remember when bands used to headbang like that haha

[jjstreet5]

omg.... i miss u guys. get back together!!!

[RageAholic6377]

About 4 or 5 years ago, I read an article from a fairly decent magazine kinda like AP that gave this album a 3.5 out of 10. That guy is stupid.

[Lunchboxlandlol]

They're like a 10x better version of Scary Kids Scaring Kids.

[SatansBro1]

@Lunchboxlandlol Saying that they're even anything like Scary Kids Scaring Kids is a sacrilege

[Lunchboxlandlol]

@SatansBro1 Not gonna lie. I think they have a similar sound. But this band is obviously better. By far.

[SatansBro1]

@Lunchboxlandlol Eh I guess it's their first album that gives off that impression. Their third album, Digital Veil is where their sound changes by a ton.

[Wiian95]

@SatansBro1 For the better. I <3 Digital Veil

[SatansBro1]

@Wiian95 Patterns is a fucking good one

[Stealthmachin3]

RIP.  Listened to this album so many fucking times and it still hasn't gotten old after all these years

[larrybob141]

this band broke up :(

[AzazelZaphorOmega]

@larrybob141 While that does come as a shock. I have always felt that this band was essentially "broken" after the loss of Nathan Ells. Nevertheless, it does suck cuz I didn't get a chance to check out digital veil. :(

[poopypaddy]

epic right.........................­. excellente

[lalobzre]

HOW DO HIS GLASSES STAY ON WHILE HE'S THRASHING SO HARD? Didn't realize rocking so hard actually broke the laws of physics.

[MrRiot6]

@lalobzre he wears a goggle strap or whatever the hell they are called.

[IndescribableEnigma]

@lalobzre Lol I bet he has his glasses tied onto his head. I do the same thing when I skate.

[MishAbasi]

1:47 That is all.

[goodboy196]

i miss this lineup :( i hope with them without a singer at the moment they'd consider Nathan back.

and if people are wondering where Nathan is, hes in a band called "Sunlit Ether". plus i talked to him when Travis left. and he said he'd be willing to quit his current band to come back. ohh i hope they ask him back :/

[dan5993]

this wasnt made in windows movie maker

[khuy213]

dude look at that awesome head banging

[aaronhighsmith02]

Why isn't there a 'Love' button?

[Travybakersk8er]

who records their piano parts? cause i seen them live on the frak the gods tour and they didnt have a synth player

[mchuckie1006]

Too bad their newest singer quit again...who would not want to be the vocals for this band????

[aaronconlin]

@mchuckie1006 When did this happen?

[Thesink05]

@mchuckie1006 Vocalists generally like to be the center of attention, and well... when there is someone like AJ in the band that is unlikely to be the case lol.

[blahjill00]

I cant get my volume any higher dammit

[blahjill00]

oh yea big seeexy

[Ark1235]

Back when this band was good...

[FlockOfChickens]

This vocalist does NOT deserve AJ Minette. No band does, he's just too good.

[guitargod85225]

What exactly is this story?

[SickNate]

How are there only 233k views??

[blahjill00]

this is the most badass song ive ever heard

[MusicGirlForLife321]

what are 3 adjectives you'd pick to describe this song?

[EmbodimentOfTheDark]

aj does sorta look like johnny depp here.

[weatherfield57]

1:07 - Johnny Depp

1:10 - Milla Jovovich

[calipunk08]

thumbs up if you think the guitarist looks like Johnny Depp in this video

[gudo1003]

This song has everything i need.

[cronaldoutd]

They were so fucking good, its such a shame that A.J.(lead guitarist) and the vocalist left, i miss this band, first heavy band I listened to.

[eezythasleezy]

@cronaldoutd bumped your head

[JovianMeissner]

@cronaldoutd A.J. has been back in the band for awhile. He was back for Digital Veil.

[gergaginflopple]

I'm so disappointed by Digital Veil. The new vocalist just can't compare to Nathan. Not to mention the songs have just become crappy boring Deathcore now.

[kakusger]

@gergaginflopple still 100x better than midheaven...

[rwfsmith]

@gergaginflopple Travis Richter is pretty good in my opinion. They had a new vocalist at the live show I was at a month ago, I think he may be even better than both of them. I'm not sure if he is just touring with them or if he is permanent, though.

[gergaginflopple]

@rwfsmith

I'm not saying that Travis is a bad vocalist, he's just not nearly as passionate sounding as Nathan was. Nathan's vocals you could really feel something from, Travis is a good vocalist, but he is missing that extra push to be a great vocalist.

[djentonomicon]

@rwfsmith He's just touring with them. You should give his band a listen though, they're called Corelia.

[rwfsmith]

@djentonomicon Ah, that's unfortunate. He put on an amazing live show. I hope they can find a permanent replacement at least as good as he is. I will check them out right now, thanks!

[momentomori93]

damn i used to listen this in 8th grade shit still slaps

[charisma913]

Reminds me of "Now I lay thee Down"

[aceofspades2233]

whats with the 240p??

[Perpissing]

Nocturne= Awesome

[Perpissing]

Nocturne= Awsome

[blizman96]

I just typed my last name in the search box (Vela) and found this. This made my day.

[ELSk8er13]

The main riff of this song sounds like the bass line to forgot about dre.

[lovelost760]

@ELSk8er13 hahahahhaha XD fuck yeah!

[VisceraEyes91]

This is one of the greatest metal songs of all time.

[pistolsroach]

@VisceraEyes91 You will need to listen digital veil and you going to understand why the 3.5

[EDMONTONxSKATE]

lol its ashton kutcher and taylor swift....the fuck?

[socaldgr24]

does anybody else hear clicking at the beginning of the video?

[forthosewithhearts]

The Wadsworth Constant applies.

[ninetailedhollow5]

@forthosewithhearts No, it fucking doesn't.

[JovianMeissner]

@forthosewithhearts Naw. Nawwww.

[RecklessInspirer]

this is beautiful

[crazydude980]

what happened to the singer after THA?

[LTV3000]

if only there were actually movies like this back then......only the captions would read "jam"...."brutal"......"breakd­own" haha :)

[Chadrmas]

one of the coolest music video's ever. i miss the old THA. although DV was a great album in it's own right. just different styles.

[AnDynessisity]

If you like The Human Abstract then check out my band Sirens Fall Silent on Facebook. We just released a new song called 'Equilibrium' on our band page from our upcoming EP "In Our Darkest Dreams"

[EmbodimentOfTheDark]

THE A.J. ABSTRACT!

[TXGxTheChosenX]

A.J.'s mustache is the source of his power.

[METALdude1195]

@TXGxTheChosenX the power's lost from the mustache, so he had to work out and that's why he has huge biceps

[TXGxTheChosenX]

@METALdude1195 Agreed lol

[YaDunBeenShrunk]

Love the song, love the album. I have to say my favorite of the 3 albums would be Digital Veil though, the musicianship in that album is amazing. The new vocalist gives the band a whole new style and vibe, and i like it.

[Subwheezer]

Why they changed... it was the perfect style

[Polaf3456]

Im like... 100 percent sure that either a mortician or a detective would be involved than a doctor... Thats just purely fucking nonsensical...

[headcrabsandparkour]

The doctor frames the boyfriend.

[Sk8NorthCarolina]

sont of a bitch the bassist is crazy lol

[midion]

BEST ALBUM!!!! they kinda went weak after, but still great

[metalxshredxhead]

@midion have you heard their new one since midhaven? it was a lot better, about as good as nocturne.

[Lunchboxlandlol]

Woo!

[panphobia1992]

THIS ISN'T MUSIC?!?!? this is art.....

[alexisavenged7x]

Forgot how good Nathans voice was… ive been listenng to digital veil so much! Just sucks he had to let his ego and musical differences get in the way. Oh well travis is an awesome vocalist as well.

[Mofubbles]

28 people didn't wait for the storm.

[amomentuponawaening]

If I ever have a daughter I will name her Vela in honor of the fact that the main riff

pops into my head every time I orgasm

[GuerrillaFrilla]

@amomentuponawaening

Wouldn't that mean every time you say your daughters name you'll have an erection?

[ballen9300]

heaviest intro

[DCODA13]

this song... too good



[Dylathyn]

I don't get it .. o.o

[JoshVidds]

favorite song. never gets old. listened to it a thousand times.

[Zackg119]

I wish I could favorite this more than once...

[charleslanford]

cannot describe how fuckin incredible it is

[Lfan2233]

i listened to this song tonight PURELY because it was storming like a motherfucker o-o

[fuckyouvevo11]

i fucking hate searching through the comments to find what the top ones are refering too!

[withoutsoul0]

@fuckyouvevo11 lol im glad i know what this ones about

[horseface666]

@fuckyouvevo11

Which comments are you refering to?

[GreenSnowConeBuddy]

I'm eating string cheese right now.

[AndyMartyr]

great fucking song, defintely one of my favorites

would be more intense if they remade this but with a double bass like in this version

youtube.com/watch?v=3cpc90oUrt­w&feature=fvwrel

at 0:14-42

[SharkAttackBaybee]

AJ....If you ever see this...please bring back the stache.

[clwnz777]

Saw them May 19 :)

The show was... erm... FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!

[DanielFortesquieu]

Holy shit Dean looks weird without his goatee!

[xonlyxthexreflection]

what a great song

[ubershock0]

The Cabinet of Doctor Claigari?

[StevenKickinWing]

i cant get enough ov this song i need to hear more from them

[ETF924]

Let's just make pretend all time low isn't on the same label as this masterpiece of a band.

[DavidAids]

@ETF924 THA is signed to E1 Records now, no pretending!

[UrTubeSuksJerk]

@ETF924 This label itself is hopeless.

[kosmo7895]

@ETF924 Actually I like both these bands. And you'd have to say that you pretend that The Human Abstract isn't on this label, because they're the odd ones out. I actually found it kind of strange that these guys are on a primarily pop-punk like label. They'd do better on Rise or Metal Blade...

[Joose]

Why the fuck can this only be watched in 240p?

[berkgaard]

@Joose anything greater than 240p would be a total insult to the video. it should have been shot on an 8mm in black and white, then hopelessly digitally remastered, only to be shown exclusively on youtube's 120p maintenance it channel.

[Joose]

@berkgaard Nah, I'll pass on that. I get what you're saying, but I like high quality videos. This video could easily be in 720 and still look old.

[berkgaard]

@Joose werd, especially for the sound, for me.

[Moby104105]

Every single song off of Digital Veil > Nocturne and Midheaven put together.

[GuitarNerd11]

@Moby104105

Digital Veil was REALLY good. I loved that they experimented with a deathcore-type sound, but IMO, Nocturne was their best album, completely original; it's what made them different from BTBAM and Protest the Hero, they had the neo-classical sound in every Nocturne song, where Digital Veil just sounded like a generic deathcore band with progressive elements to it.

[blackpeopleee]

seeing these guys later this month :3 <3

[tacoskater110]

bassist knows how to get it on!

[vroomvroompartystata]

I've easily accumulated 30 of these views. These guys are damn fantastic.

[DanielFortesquieu]

Fuck these stupid advertisements

[xGloriiax]

This is totally going to be my walkout song for MMA.

[xr3verendx]

antebellum puts this song to shameeeee :D

[Ilikeeggsandbacon98]

28 people couldnt wait for the storm

thumbs up!!!

[DrinkSkateSleep]

@Ilikeeggsandbacon98 You're gay.

[Ilikeeggsandbacon98]

@DrinkSkateSleep im gay?

ur probably some faat kid who cant even sk8

[DrinkSkateSleep]

@Ilikeeggsandbacon98 No I'm quite slim actually.

[Ilikeeggsandbacon98]

@DrinkSkateSleep oh, well in that case, forget that comment

we should be happy were both skinny

[DrinkSkateSleep]

@Ilikeeggsandbacon98 Sometimes I wish I were fat, just to see what it's like.

[Ilikeeggsandbacon98]

@DrinkSkateSleep lmfao

dude.. me too..

i just wanna be the fat guy who can at least see his feet

[clwnz777]

@Ilikeeggsandbacon98 You're a faggot.

[Aerodynamic94]

I love this song!  The first time I played it and learned the sweeps, my hand was in tremors. Ever since then, my guitar playing improved dramatically!

[Moby104105]

New THA > old THA

[plainandsimpleton]

well @joodajoo i dont like it, theyre annoying just like people that make smartass comments regarding other comments "ergo" people like u fuckwad

Have a nice day BITCH hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[plainandsimpleton]

AHH I CANT FUCKING STAND THES FUCKING GAY ASS ADVERTISEMENTS, AHH THATS WHAT FUCKING T.V IS FOR DURING COMMERCIALS YOUTUBE IS FOR PEOPLE TO WATCH VIDEOS AND LISTEN TO MUSIC, NOT TO SEE STUPID ADVERTISEMENTS ABOUT CRANBERRY JUICE AHHHHH MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joodajoo]

@plainandsimpleton those are what make this site able to function since they need more service space/staff, ergo more money, which means more advertisements

[ROSEY2NUTTY]

new cd not so good. older stuff kicks butt

[devils3playpen]

@ROSEY2NUTTY ...new cd is insane!!.....were we listening to the same thing?!?!?!

[RubberRipOffGang]

i dont like teen metal but this band is just great. lots of neo-classical in there.

[flanman1337]

sooo, The Human Abstract, and BTBAM have broken the speakers on my laptop and in my car... what do?

[Teronoss]

This song is so good that I may just put the video over 200k views by myself. O_O

[viper1991]

Such an awesome vid with &vintage=1911....

[NOConnorshread]

so glad i got to see a covergirl commercial before the video.

[TheGruberHof]

What happened to the a Capella version?

[eyedeeuh]

IF YOU LIKE THESE GUYS CHECK OUT MY BAND BETWEEN THE LIONS ON FACEBOOK AND LIKE US!! JUST DO A SEARCH ON THERE. CANT POST LINK ON THIS. WE WERE JUST ON TOUR WITH WE CAME AS ROMANS! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED! :)

[AErockaholic1127]

@eyedeeuh I couldn't find you ;O

[RWSThe101]

@eyedeeuh I tried to but no results come up when I type your name in.

[boblovesBTBAM]

One of the most original bands in any branch of Core music. Every person in the band is a pure Musician. Just phenomenal. The new cd is so so so good.

[Greenjumper25]

@boblovesBTBAM you suck and so do they ^.^

[emann43]

@boblovesBTBAM Yea i totally agree, easily the most *original* core band out there. Very progressive, and a nice break from the usual 'chug chug - breakdown - chug'

[ShadowofATheory]

@boblovesBTBAM i would disagree with you there,there is tons of more original and better bands in core music All Shall Perish blows these guys out of the water in originality

[boblovesBTBAM]

@ShadowofATheory Oh no, I do agree All Shall Perish is incredible. I am a huge fan of the band, but thats why I said "One Of" because there are a LOT of bands in this broad genre that do have impeccable talent and play awesome music! haha

[statusgoes]

@ShadowofATheory i agree all shall perish is og

[lilbazybeats]

@ShadowofATheory HAHAHAHA!! o shit you had me going there for a second, but be for real, all shall perish is not original at all, the human abstracts name is more original than all shall perish and all their music combined.

[YaDunBeenShrunk]

@boblovesBTBAM i agree, everyone in this band is incredibly musically talented. 

[statusgoes]

just saw them the other day. they sound better live and put on a good show. i leveled a kid in the mosh pit to this song haha
