EARTH CRISIS - To Ashes (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[JayPernz]

I knew the dude that this song is about. He lived in a town near mine here in Iowa. He's a great dude. We jammed for about a week, then he bolted for Colorado...miss that dude.

[juststaydead]

shit

[Rxsouthern]

wow this is terrible

[jjallen1976]

fuck these guys.

[mediattackrecords]

@mediattackrecords trying to control what people think through forcing them how to think with violence is going to get the perpetrators of euthanization through animal welfare hurt. PEACE! i'm only letting you know, that the war has begun and is real. BACK OFF OR DONT. Peace! Vote for Barack Obama to cut all ridiculous racial prejudice.

[dansmithbored]

tbh i dont care what your diets are im here for the music perhaps you all should eat what you like and fuck shit up ad mosh and not argue about which foods you need to become the better mosher, BEER, STEAK, SPLIFF and MOSH all the way fuck the diet i have a balanced one what more could your body ask for

[dansmithbored]

@mediattackrecords how are they supposed to defend theselves when criminals have guns and police have shitty friendly weapons like trungeons and mace

[mediattackrecords]

@mediattackrecords the more people who use drugs are more likely to go vegan and attempt and animal liberation also. as long as there is psychological information on the drug package, then theyshould be legal. as a VEGAN STRAIGHT EDGER i only tried crack once, but it motivated me to blow up a mcdonalds. POT also works.

[usux91]

XRepresentx!!!!!!!

[xderekskix]

Oh wow. Im a douche bag because i don't agree with your incorrect statement about straight edge bands? Ha. That's misinformed. I sing for xrepresentx. Don't play bass, though. Only a real douche bag would state "most" edge bands drink. That's YOU!! :-)!! Enjoy sucking hard!

[mediattackrecords]

@mediattackrecords you wouldnt know what straight edge is if it was sucking out your brains with digital magnets.

[xBetoix]

Someone can helpme? I sxe from Spain , my english is very limited , an i want know the mean aboout the song and the man who spek in the beign , tanks

[xyTJxy]

straight edge revenge!

[xderekskix]

Wow, you're so out there. much higher on the enlightenment food chain than good ol' ExC. That must be why no one knows who you are. You're so much better than making any type of ripple in this non-entheogenic world! Toke up, you fucking hippie.

[jjallen1976]

@xderekskix entheogens are great for the mind body and soul. most straight edge bands dont use "drugs" but yet they drink alcohol. what a joke. at least entheogens are used from the natural form. you ppl are so misinformed.

[xderekskix]

@jjallen1976 hey what straight edge band is that? being in a straight edge band, and knowing a whole ton of them, and also knowing what straight edge is, I can tell you that no real straight edge band drinks alcohol. Talk about being misinformed. That was the most clueless thing i've ever read, and I've read some dumb shit on here.

[jjallen1976]

@xderekskix it figures with the name derek you would be such a douche bag. what straight edge band are you in??? dont tell me you play bass and do vocals. if so youre the biggest douche bag on the planet.

[vitorsilighini]

The first band os Metalcore in the History

[adamized210]

maybe if their singer pretend he's jamie jasta, then they might have a chance

[jjallen1976]

These guys are so fucking lame. Im ashamed to say they are from my hometown syracuse ny. the music i make blows this shit away and has spiritual purpose to it. much deeper than screaming about something thats been rehashed over and over again through t.v. and news papers. my lyrics come from the heartand soul.

[globalchaos1984]

@jjallen1976 fuck your heartand soul

[jjallen1976]

@globalchaos1984 FUCK YOUR LIFE AND WORLD

[globalchaos1984]

@jjallen1976 u mad bro?

[jjallen1976]

@globalchaos1984 not even close. i just wanted to appear pissed off. it takes a hell of a lot more to make me mad then typing comments on youtube

[dansmithbored]

@jjallen1976 if your so much better why arnt you as famous or liked as these guys

[parishynes]

who am i?

[donmariomarcello]

VEGANISM AND SPORT ARE COOL. NO DRUG IS ALLOWED. I TOLERATE FEW BEERS. THAT'S ALL.

[jjallen1976]

@donmariomarcello beer is a drug u fool. most straight edgers are fake because of the simple fact of what you just said. haha youre a joke

[donmariomarcello]

@jjallen1976 you're right. legal drug. but i tolerate myself one or two when i go out. i don't drink it all the time. except from being drug, beer, especialy a quality german beer has a good health effects if it's used in small volume. the biggest health problem is consuming MEAT (and fish).

[dansmithbored]

@donmariomarcello yeah meat and fish...two of the most important things in the human diet...aha tool its called a food chain.

[mediattackrecords]

@dansmithbored well its unecessary now that science has proved animals and sharks can be vegan. this isnt racist by the way.

[dansmithbored]

@mediattackrecords haha a shark eating a salad. brilliant!

[donmariomarcello]

STRAIGHT EDGE IS COOL. AND DRUGS DO KILL, AND IT'S O.K. TO LABEL IT THAT WAY. DRUGS ARE NOT COOL. DRUGS KILL. DRUGS MADE RUINS FROM PEOPLE.

[jjallen1976]

@donmariomarcello OK AS FAR AS METH, COCAINE, CRACK, AND HEROIN GO ALONG WITH HARD LIQUIR AND RX OPIATES GO I AGREE. HOWEVER I AM A SUPPORTER OF NATURAL ENTHEOGENS THAT WERE RELIGOUSLY USED IN ANCIENT PRE-CHRISTAIN ERA.

[TheDeathOfCarmine]

@jjallen1976 yeah man, LSD; mescaline, ketamine, salvia, shrooms are alll good imo

[XSTILLBITTERX]

If you're not straight edge now, you never were. Don't say " I'm not straight edge anymore," it's a life long commitment to yourself. You are a sellout.

[propaghandave10]

I'm not sXe anymore, and never was vegan, But fuck me if Earth Crisis still doesn't rule!

[KoreanDancingFool]

lol Stuid fuckin tards. Crooked razor wtf is that XD LOLOLOLOL you dnt need an anti Edge group you already are the anti dip shits

[residentsleep]

weed, shrooms & peyote are the only safe drugs because they all grow naturaly. Any drug created by chemistry or fermentation (i.e. alcohol, meth, crack, coke, herion etc.) are bad for humanity as a whole. DON'T DO THEM!

[helloaphant]

@residentsleep

Yo, man. That's a common misconception. Shrooms and peyote are not "safe" in the sense you are speaking of. Depending on a person's mindset, any hallucinogen can be potentially harmful or even deadly. Not because of the chemical composition of the hallucinogen itself, but because of what the user might do under the influence of such hallucinogens.

Besides, people should come to their own conclusions. That's how freedom works.

[residentsleep]

@helloaphant Agreed, ALL THINGS SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH SENSE OF GREAT RESPONSIBILITY AND YOU SHOULD NEVER ABUSE OR MISS USE ANY SUBSTANCE. KNOW YOU LIMITS PEOPLE! and if you choose to be "straight edge" then good for you I will not encourage nor influence anyone to do anything they don't want to do. How you choose to live your life is your business and no one can tell you other wise.

[helloaphant]

@residentsleep

Yeah, I agree. Moderation and the middle way. But those who bash other people so others will see what they see-- that's fascism, man. Not coooool.

[HETSoHz]

Legalise pot and burn those fucking meth labs, you could say Im in-between.

[rortwenty]

Its easy to be straight edge when you get payed to preach it!

[jawgraphy]

@rortwenty

Are you really that blind? No one gets paid making music these days, unless they're on a "major" label (which denotes that they are slaves because they must obey what popular culture demands of them). Also, this band is not only straightedge, but vegan. And they do these things because it's their VALUE SYSTEM, not a selling point. Being vegan has never been desirable by mass media.

[TheEnso]

Fuck straightedge people. They're just putting a label on themselves for something they DON'T do. That makes no sense. Be real. Just be. Don't be anything. Just be you.

[ErrectifiedPeePee]

@TheEnso me is a person who doesn't do drugs, and thats who I want to be and nothing will change my mind, drugs will ruin your life, and I have 2 stories of close people who committed suicide due to drugs and alchohol. The day the second one died took a vow to never do drugs or alchohol, how is this not being me.

[jawgraphy]

@TheEnso

"The band's song 'To Ashes' was inspired by [Walter] Bond's 1998 prison sentence for arson. Bond was convicted of burning down a meth lab owned by a drug dealer who was selling to his brother." Please look behind the scenes before making assumptions. There are straightedge people who are pretentious and righteous but taking drastic action to save your brother from a toxic addiction is love, compassion, and sacrifice. Those concepts are very different and pure compared to an ego-trip

[sally9508]

@TheEnso Being you is being something, being yourself is labeling yourself as, well yourself. Life comes with labels. Like white, hispanic, tall, fat, straight edge, intelligent, ignorant - these are all adjectives and in turn are labels. There is no getting around it buddy, just get over it.

[taroian2424]

55 people like meth

[ProfaneHeart]

Its seems alot like slipknot without masks and different lyrics.

[nastazio12]

@ProfaneHeart

That's what I though when I heard the intro !

[atxthrasher]

This band would be way better without that holier than thou straight edge shit. I can respect straight edge people so long as they don't get all zealous and down your throat with it. If a band wants to be straight edge, that's fine, but it shouldn't be their theme or their selling point.

[YoshimitsuBloodPedal]

I'm not edge or that into hardcore but this shit rules!

[doriskiro]

FUCK METH...BURN ALL DRUG LABS....LOVE FOR EDGE EVEN IF I'M NOT SO...

[thelopors]

what is the name of the man of the video?

[BloodWindStudios]

my friends dad is carl its fricking awesome getting all his aulbums for free

[aaronjames062391]

straight edge!!!

[feebeethefeeb]

He's vegan so he must be innocent! Good thing I think Earth Crisis is cool or else I'd hate this video.

[defendinganimals]

FREE WALTER BOND.

[UnoQueLlegaYDice]

Walter Bond is a living hero. No matter how many years the system puts him into prison, his will shall not be shattered, his deed continues to live. Others will BURN IT TO THE GROUND!

[TheEvilred420]

this sounds cool but fuck straight edge! Do you know who is straight edge? My grandmother thats so fucking cool!

[bliffblaff]

All the junkies look at our music and lifestyle and laugh and mock us, but they dont know what they do to our communities and to our family and loved ones. the only good drug dealer is a dead drug dealer.

[EricsABoss]

You guys are douchebags who aren't subject to change.

[happyman64issocool]

i hav learned sumthing: ppl take shit way 2 seriously we should all just liv 2gether in peace ya dig?

[happyman64issocool]

TITTIES!!!!!!!!!

[Koscheck2011]

this sounds retarded lol Miss May I and The Ghost Inside are 100x better

[woobiehastelly]

@Koscheck2011 You can't even really compare those bands to this, lol.

[XSxEOtakuX]

@Koscheck2011 If it werent for earth crisis , TGI, wouldnt exist. The whole metalcore genre wouldnt even exist

[Koscheck2011]

@XSxEOtakuX yeah it would thats like saying if there was no beatles thered be no rock... wed eventually make it there

[ShadowZIsGod]

If you wanna be edge, be edge. Just leave those of us who wanna drink and get high alone, mkay?

[TheEvilred420]

@bengativo6 wow thats some stupid shit coming out of your mouth!

[bengativo6]

@TheEvilred420 yep got a problem with that?

[TheEvilred420]

@bengativo6 Yes thats why i made the comment

[bengativo6]

@TheEvilred420 wow thats prety original .you are just a coward hiding behind a monitor and a pc .you are so full of shit buddy ..have a nice day

[TheEvilred420]

@bengativo6 And what are you doing fucktard? Your ignorance is fucking amazing!

[bengativo6]

@TheEvilred420 hey asswipe you are the one who attacked me first so you are the fucktard and the chickenshit that talks crap behind the monitor you are just a piece of forgotten shit left on a rural area,keep your farm in shape you chickenshit sissy .and let others express themselves ..cunt

[bengativo6]

@TheEvilred420 shit it is you .i just remind you .it was you who started it i just had to defend my point .so in this case yes you are who is ignorant..and you think you are better than me ..to me you are a piece of forgotten shit left on a rural area by a cow.cunt

[TheEvilred420]

@bengativo6 you where the one that started shit fucktard its just your comment was removed because you are so fucking stupid! I dont think i am better than you I know that i am!

[ixixviiii]

..WATCH,HEAR N THINK! 

[frankster666metal]

being straight edge is fucking stupid!

[FightForTheInnocent]

@frankster666metal it's a personal choice for health reasons. no need to hate.

[hardcoreperkele]

@frankster666metal  why?

[MrSelfHater]

@frankster666metal Yeah, go and take your drugs, we'll see who's stupid

[happyman64issocool]

dood, i don't h8 straight edge kids and i respect their decision to stay clean.

but.... DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE GO MORMON ON MY ASS!!! the modern world is fucking boring enough without a bunch self righteous church rejects telling me how to live my life, thats just wat the nazi's did and look where that got them.....

[killyourhead]

@happyman64issocool This song makes you feel like Earth Crisis wants you to burn down a meth lab? ; )

[happyman64issocool]

@killyourhead ur right. but i was high on meth writing that

[happyman64issocool]

dood, i don't h8 straight edge kids and i respect their decision to stay clean.

but.... DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE GO MORMON ON MY ASS!!! the modern world is fucking boring enough without a bunch self righteous church rejects telling me how to live my life

[Pornographyforcoward]

I'd love to see some of the Edge haters responses if they sat down with your average Edge kid. Maybe they'll realise that 90% of us have adopted it as a lifestyle choice yet choose to not become a parody of the jocks we dislike so much. Most of us don't hate - Our bodies, our choices.

[xstux]

morality dictates that i live vegan

[karlfreddie]

xTOTAL LIBERATIONx

show love to all life

[karlfreddie]

xTOTAL LIBERATIONx

VEGAN JD

[kalebyay]

but with that being said. hardcore drugs and users. are fucking retarded

[kalebyay]

but i believe that hardcore is a family as a whole, regardless of your decision on what to do to yourself. and if i wanted to go to a concert and be persecuted for smoking. i would go to fucking church. i cant speak for all sxe people. because i know and respect some sxe people that respect me as well. but be down to earth. im not trying to corrupt our youth with my choice to smoke marijuana. and if you hate drug dealers . go kill pharmacists.

[kalebyay]

BANE- wasted on the young. is all i have to say for all the straight edge people who hate on us hardcore lovers who chose a different lifestyle. oh plus we all die in the end i dont think the fact that you lived life with a god complex above everyone is going to help you not rot in the ground. and in this music video, the mere fact that he said "im not going to sit here and let this guy ruin my brothers life" everyone as a choice of what they want in life. dont get me wrong. i have sxe friends

[csusm577]

i dnt get the straight edge anti drug phenomenon, a whole movement based off of a minor threat song. i mean, to hate someone cuz they do drugs, shutup. all preachy n uptight. stfu, if u dnt like bein high then cool, dnt fukn yell at me and encourage arson, asshole ronald reagan incarnations

[Pornographyforcoward]

@csusm577 So all Straight Edge kids are preachy?Sure, I can't deny that some are but theres a lot more which respect your decision to drink and wish you'd accept our decision to stay clean. I see no benefit to killing my liver and spending my evenings in a unproductive haze, but if you want to make yourself as docile as you can then sure, go ahead. They kept slaves drunk as they were less trouble that way - they feared the sober drunk. I don't believe much has changed but that's just my view.

[csusm577]

@Pornographyforcoward If someone decides to be drug free thats great, good choice.But if they decide to run around and beat someone up cuz they saw him puff a joint, then fuk them.Look,u guys chill n be sober n we'll chill n be high, cool? we dont bother u, n u dnt bother us.Maybe i should start an anti straight edge group, called "Crooked Razor" lol, and we'll go around using violence to force ppl to think n live the way we do. Sounds fukn stupid right?how do u think we all feel bout ur clique?

[54pimpdaddy]

@csusm577 SO DAMN TRUE.



[dreadjeluc]

@Pornographyforcoward

[teabagbob]

Preachy, militant and hate-ridden. awful band, awful ethics and a waste of a recording contract.

The world would be a much better place without Earth Crisis.

[nowyout1]

Ultimate act of intervention.

[CrazyCaucasian1337]

This is a pretty sick band... Shit, my meth lab is about to go blow, brb.

[caramelorojo]

fucking drugs!

[bosch101]

Time to get shitfaced! Washing down my steak with whisky, this band is pretty good!

[mediattackrecords]

I actually like your Rorschach and Black Flag influences.

[MardukHail]

Good for him. This country would be a lot better off if there was more men and less "tolerance".

[CrazyCaucasian1337]

Im gonna go snort some cocaine off of a blond hookers ass, see ya!

[mediattackrecords]

@CrazyCaucasian1337 har har har back to the computer programs.

[7orchids]

I am not edge, but I respect the strength of will it takes to remain true to the lifestyle. I live in Iowa, and I have seen first-hand what meth can do to not just families, but entire communities. The chemical waste of so much manufacturing, raises costs of crops, due to soil contaminations, and the costly means of putting in security measures to guard the farmers' anhydrous chemical. I cant help but be intrigued with this story...and feel a connection with the individual who this is about.

[clevohardcore]

Great band, Great tune, Great album.

[rogeke1o6]

sXe BEST DRUG EVER

BE TRUE AND STAY ALLIVE

[germyfromirc]

@rogeke1o6 not as good as coke and meth and lsd and bacon

[LTdrumma]

daaaaaaayum, fist time i hear this band. SICK!

[aeonlinear]

Ironic that these guys claimed to have pioneered metal-heavy hardcore (check their dvd) and other bands owe them for the influence, yet here they sound just as derivative and generic as all those tough guy chugga bands.

[OfficialMurderMusic1]

great band, great song, and the message in this song is great

[TheRedSkinhead]

HATE FOR HARDLINE! RESPECT FOR EDGE!

[AnimalistiIncazzati]

@TheRedSkinhead Hate for antiabortion position, for homophobia, for racism, for religion.. not for the hardline manifesto in its entirety.

[czwartek77]

@TheRedSkinhead ehh young communist, I hope that will not go to a Russian gulag

[mango047]

i posts u tube comments cause im 12 lalalala

[austinthefreak]

@Rodegierr they ruined hardcore with the melodic and whatever hell kinda pop/hip hop crap it is influences. They ruined metal with the fusion genres. Metal and hardcore was intended to badass in their own ways and now because of all the emotional crap mixed in everyone assumes those genres are for emo kids. Which btw, emo (as in the punk genre) never even had ANYTHING to do with any variation of metal or hardcore

[Nathanridey]

Even if you're not edge, or even if you don't like hardcore music, or whatever label people want to put on this video, you should agree with the message. standing up for your family when noone else will. doing what has to be done to save your flesh and blood from the suffering.

[CanadianWarMachine]

True Till Death

[Poopaskull]

Hardcore drinker and beef-lover for life!

[cuzidid100]

Straight edge for life xXx

[straightedgesteveo]

I don't claim edge anymore (despite the name) but I agree, let the meth lab fucking BURNNN!

[austinthefreak]

This is what real hardcore is... This stuff was so great before emos came and ruined it. Not to mention how they ruined metal too.

[xXxPierroxXx000]

@austinthefreak right man!

[MophukinBear]

@austinthefreak We all know you were a scene kid. Stop trying to kiss ass

[austinthefreak]

@MophukinBear Um sorry to get moody but FUCK NO I WAS NEVER A SCENE KID. Are you fucking kidding me?
