Johnny Truant - The Grotesque (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[IAmTheStig320]

Get back together please, you brutal badass motherfuckers.

[eventhorizonx6]

Isnt it possible to like them and bmth? Lol...besides this isnt even a bmth song and they both greatly represent two completely different styles...

[aditsetan]

they're too good to be splitted up

[aditsetan]

well, too much people hates oli sykes, i think oli sykes is the justin bieber of hardcore.

[captainkirk88]

anyone who says this song isn't heavy as hell or technical is just ignorant.

[xrzax]

i keep thinking of the ultimate warrior doing an interview when viewing this video

[sicrvat]

this is how modern metal music should sound.

[aditsetan]

omg they're too geat to be splitted up

[Unskathed123]

I heard they broke up because they were robbed and couldn't afford to keep going?

[viletones]

how come they blacked themselves up

[Tombingdales]

Al Jolson

[TMMMB1]

You'd think a band named after the protagonist of a very experimental and extremely complex novel would themselves be experimental and complex. Alas, it seems not.

[BigWill2k]

@TMMMB1 theres about 20 diffferent parts to the composition, and the time signatures are pretty complex?

[TMMMB1]

@BigWill2k The whole song's 4/4, actually. And even if there are 20 different melodic parts to the song, it still isn't all that complex or experimental by the standards of metallic hardcore. Not when DEP and so on are still knocking about.

[jimiyumyum]

@TMMMB1 :L DEP shit on these guys technically. but its a good song.

[TMMMB1]

@BigWill2k @BigWill2k The whole song's 4/4, actually. And even if there are 20 different melodic parts to the song, it still isn't all that complex or experimental by the standards of metallic hardcore. Not when DEP and so on are still knocking about.

[sisseloe]

@TMMMB1 As far as I know HC is about freedom of expression and standing up against the fact that music to be defined by a pre-set standard. Such a pity that nowadays even hardcore is seen as a competition... I thought that's what metal is all about? ;-)

[amygrindhouse]

so bad the've splitted - they still kick ass all soft-hard-core-pussies ;) [THUMBS up, if u agree:P]

[birshyB]

@Stu1570 what are you expecting?

[TheFamiliarSound]

dont even try to compare this to bmth, johnny truant is leagues above them. on that note, these dudes need to get their asses back together asap

[randomdood84]

Youtube recomended this for me because i watched an Archtechs video about 3 monthes ago, this isnt even the same genra of music. but it kicks ass so all good.

[eric3490]

that sounds like a pretty good recommendation, I think these guys are pretty damn similar.

[XxSLauGhTeRKiTtEn]

@randomdood84 The Fall Of Troy recommended this for me xD LMFAOO

[KaptainCook]

@XxSLauGhTeRKiTtEn You've got a deathwish, Johnny truant.

[JoshBall]

best band going (or not going), no doubts

[brainsXforXshit]

thank god I saw these guys before they split.

[karlfagerstrom]

@brainsXforXshit

fuck you i never got to see them. i bet they killed. i feel like they never played america (or at least not enough) and were getting big(ish) here right when they broke up.

[BigWill2k]

@karlfagerstrom i saw em b4 they split up in uk and there was only about 50 people watching. i reckon they split up cos they were stagnating audience wise.

[copernic589]

@brainsXforXshit Lucky Bitch !! :D

[suicidesilences]

Amazing song!! Miss these guys.

[KATTzoid]

thats right depressing.

i saw them right before they broke up but i wasnt sure.

[BeatenNun]

@KATTzoid I was going to go to their last show in my ares but I didn't have the money at the time.

I kick myself every time I listen to them now, it fucking sucks.

[richardBYG]

yes KATTzoid, JT broke up

[Morbidvengeance91]

liquid latexx^

[schosti]

oli mitchel is so cool he makes oli sykes look like such a loser in comparisan:L

[antnybeard]

@schosti not sure why you're making the comparison to be honest! BMTH is shit...

[copernic589]

@schosti Mouhahahahaha !! so fucking TRUE man !!!

[WeAreArsonists]

@schosti There is no comparison. Oli Mitchel pisses over him.

[Koscheck2011]

@schosti thats why Bring Me The Horizon is 100x more popular???? OOOOOOHHHH

[Anime4Ev3r]

@Koscheck2011 yeah, cause popularity has so much to do with talent, skill and let's call it 'coolness'. fanboy.

[HeavyMetalMushrooms]

@Koscheck2011 Popularity and musicianship are different, and BMTH cannot compare to Johnny Truant.

[Meetero]

Fuck me, these guys kick ass.

[KATTzoid]

didnt johnny truant break up?

[themartinmanisdead]

They weren't making any money and had to get other jobs, They are doing loads of different stuff now.

[DevilInJerseyCity31]

@themartinmanisdead what kind of different stuff are they doing now?

[Cobrass67]

ollie mitchell is lead singer shit hot

[Simms666]

Fuckin Brutal!!!

[AlexSalsman]

GOD DAMN THIS IS GOOD

[anormalnick]

one of the greatest voices of our time...Can anybody tell me whats the name of the lead singer?¿?¿

[Rugbymadball]

Olly Mitchell

absolute legend and amazing live

[anormalnick]

thanks man...in this album his voice sounds brutal but in the previous one...pffff..i cant explain what i felt while he sang...

[tuckin4u]

Olly Mitchell I think

[anormalnick]

thanks...

[4k1x3R]

Olly Mitchell

[djangobaby]

Olly Mitchell 0::::::::: hes the best man definitely best band ever with refused (:

[anormalnick]

two of the best bands ever...

[eyesorearchitect]

heavy and brutal... the way i love it :D

[geefunkera3000]

I miss the truant. Why the hell do all the good talented UK metal bands break up? eg Beecher, Eden Maine, Sikth......

[eyesorearchitect]

i know

this stuff is awesome

at least architects are together :D

[makingnoise123]

sikth is one true lost,but look at the bright side dude,at least we still have the arusha accord and fellsilent

[geefunkera3000]

Dude, thank you so much, i checked out these bands on your recommendation and they are totally awsome!

I'm from N. Ireland so a bit out of the local scene....but absolutely love metal when its undergound. Thanks again, you cant beat that feeling of hearing a metal band for the first time and it totally blowing ur socks off! \m/-_-\m/

Any other recommendations?

[makingnoise123]

a lot of then actually =),and you are welcome,it's good to talk metal with someone who really likes it,and not some bring me the horizon kid xD,well if you are looking for some mathcore,you can check tesseract,periphery,textures(h­ighly recomended) and car bomb(car bombo is a strange band but once you get the ideia of the sound you can see how awesome it is)and im from brasil dude,im more out of the sceene than you xD

[geefunkera3000]

sweet dude thanks, u are well educated my friend. Love textures, last album's a masterpiece.

It's good to talk to someone who appreciates heavy music & not some BMTH scenester! . It's obvious u love heavy music and u like it to be challenging. Fell Silent are sick, new favourite band, no queston. Also currently listening to Malefice, No Made Sense, Hacride, Centaurus-A, Impending Doom, War From A Harlots Mouth, plus have u heard Animals As Leaders.....nearly wet myself when I heard this album

[makingnoise123]

the animals as leaders albuns is a master piece man,im totally in love with that album,lately im listening a lot of exotic animals petting zoo and oceansize,going through a post rock moment,there are several very tecnicals post rock bands,but they are seriously underground

[liamiscool666]

sweet song

[Sivandivan]

Ah, I love Johnny Truant... too bad they split up :<

[philthelank]

Fucking brilliant

[samlovesironmaiden12]

this isnt bad.

benedictions 'the grotesque' was much better,

then again i thought this would be a cover.

[DEATHorSK8]

they all look black lol...

no racist intentions btw...

[Bewilders]

This song is so fucking ace.

[Valthrias]

R.I.P Johnny Truant T_T

Probably the best mathcore I've heard in my life.

[nucularboomb]

mathcore...?...WTF?!?

Johnny Truant are a metalcore band

they are NOWHERE NEAR tech enough to be mathcore

PsyOpus and early Architects is mathcore

[mhaneline]

psyopus *snap*

and nobody even mentions dillinger :( forget not Calculating Infinity!!!!!!!

[CHRlSFEHN]

What's Mathcore?

[nucularboomb]

VERY technical rhythm based metalcore

Protest The Hero, The Dillinger Escape Plan, PsyOpus, earlier Architects (In The Desert, They'll Be Hanging Us Tonight), A Textbook Tragedy and Straight Reads The Line are all mathcore bands

[SabianTamaDrummer]

meshuggah any1? textures?

[Jagstaldincola]

Meshuggah uses textures, but they are not mathcore! (:

[romulus9911]

man, Norma jean and Dillinger are like the best examples of mathcore ever........

[metalhead00]

norma jean sucks now.

[DarkGlouby]

Also Beecher and The Number Twelve Looks Like You.

[BleedingMemoriesXxX]

don't be forgetting As I Lay Dying :P

[nucularboomb]

are you fucking shitting me

a chimp could play AILD...and Tim Lambesis can't sing

[BleedingMemoriesXxX]

Hell no man!! Broaden your horizons ;)

[nucularboomb]

AILD's latest sucks

and they are NOT mathcore

[FrostyFrostbite]

Find me a chimp that can play As I Lay Dying songs.

[nucularboomb]

Tim Lambesis, nuff said

[imametalhead666]

id still probs classify architects as mathcore

[mozza778]

not their new stuff. there's elements of it like dead march's intro, but nothin compared to nightmares.

[Sephirothx777x]

Psy0pus is fucking insane lol!!!

[Ultima0arc]

SIKTH is mathcore to die for = P

[Corv1n]

fucking awesome song and vid too!

[oojaymutumbay]

whyyyyyyyyy did they split up, its shit

[fleshlesskid]

im related to fidel castro....

D.I.C.K

[johncandyhimself]

I thought this was a sick video

[CapturedH]

Im related to Lead singer :)

[hjfleeds]

wot relation?

[banannaman123]

Im related to Jesus

[urbandisaster567]

No, if you listen in the bloodening, his scream is more gargly, in this song his scream is more shouty so therefore it isnt the same scream XD

[iamonfire321]

It's still olli. It is differnt though.

[urbandisaster567]

Does Anyone know if Olly is the same singer as the person who did the bloodening because in the bloodening he has a different scream and hes skinny.

[Bloodcurdled]

Same guy, same scream prety much.

[nucularboomb]

its always been olly

on Library he was younger, in his teens i think

that would explain the sudden pitch change

[urbandisaster567]

ohhhh i see.

[xyu77]

Olly's like 28-29 now so this is false.

[ethanmacbeth]

the lyric is "screaming"

[sicresponse]

anyone know what he screams at 0:33???

[death241]

wow god damn O.O i really need their new album, the last time i heard their stuff was like last year with the bloodening and realist surrielist.fucking insane from 2:16 :P love it

[nucularboomb]

is there a new guitarist

because i heard there was only 1 guitarist in In The Library Of Horrific Events

[sol319]

yah they got a nw one for no tears

[MacTobey]

another countdown in the beginning of the video like in the ´the bloodening´ video!

[Puparia]

Christ on a jew this videos pretty shite..bit homo-erotic. Nether the less they are and always probably will be one of my favorite bands..been a fan since the start and hopefully to the end!

[KrisOO17]

too bad the end came so soon

[MsSummerside]

agreed.

they were bad ass, I spent my 19th birthday with them, and they got me tanked.

It was the best birthday ever, what i remember of it.

these guys are sick. R.I.P Johnny Truant<3

[urbandisaster567]

Amazing song, disapointing video

[sameagain]

totally agree - kinda looks like RHCP's Give it Away video. Johnny Truant is easily one of my favourite bands though.

[urbandisaster567]

yeh they are an amazing band go tot be my favourite up to now
