  • I don't know why everyone is so ticked, so they don't do the exact same thing, I like Noctorne and this one, they all give me something different. But then of course I don't shit on people for having different tastes or styles, I listen to almost every type of rock from the 60s to now.. just wider palette i suppose. You don't win anything for listening the same damn thing all the time.

  • I... I think I'm in love with this band.

  • they got rid of nathan the lead singer

  • honestly not as good as the older albums

  • Does anyone else see the irony of this album being on Hopeless Records?

  • @jweezy1711 so is Nocturne?

  • You are all fags. Nocturne was great. Midheaven was great. Digital Veil is great. This song is great. Now stfu fags.

  • @malakian99 I've always wondered what it's like to have a wrong opinion. You must be the first.

  • @Mooperty It's music you fucktard. Who are you to fuckin' judge them?!

  • @malakian99 You sound mad. Maybe you should try not having a shit taste in music.

  • @Mooperty Shit taste? Dude you're close-minded as fuck. You're stuck in a musical rut which fuckin' sucks for you cause I get to enjoy so much more music than you. While you're jamming out to the same CD's over and over again I'll just look at you and laugh with my taste in VARIETY.

  • @malakian99 Or I just realize what bad music sounds like, but hey, you're entitled to your opinion however wrong it might be. Just sayin'.

    Also, it might not have occurred to you yet, but I was more or less giving you shit solely for immaturely calling people "fags" for not liking the same music that you do. And apparently I'm the one that's narrow-minded.

    Grow up, twatnugget.

  • @Mooperty Lol twatnugger?! Nice xD

    I don't really care though if people don't like it, but the ones that were just calling it "pure shit" were pissing me off because I seriously doubt they can even play or sing an easy song off of Midheaven. Ya Midheaven is my least favorite out of all the albums, but I still respect it.

  • @malakian99 Sure.

    For what it's worth, I recognize the talent in all of the members of this particular lineup of THA, but it feels like a different band without AJ's influence, really undisciplined.

    Each album sounds completely different, now that I think about it. I honestly don't care if you like it or not, I was pretty much just trolling.

  • @Mooperty Ya. AJ is kind of the main reason I listen to them. Like the song Mea Culpa... BLOWS MY MIND... every time it gets to the solo. And ya haha I can't pass a good trolling opportunity either.

  • Wow. I remember getting Midheaven and being incredibly disappointed, and I still am. just look at their fucking singer here, Nathan is so full of himself and his inanely pretentious lyrics that its sickening. There's no discipline in the writing, just shredding over mediocrity followed by vaguely nocturne-ish riffs.

    This is A.J.'s band, lets keep it that way. Travis is much better of a vocalist than this cunt anyway (and less cunty). I'm actually somewhat sad to hear that he left.

  • @Mooperty

    Travis is such a generic -core vocalist, Nathan had a real uniqueness to him, A.J. wrote some phenomenal guitar parts, it was the combination of the two of them that made Nocturne great. Digital Veil was such a disappointment when I listened, I didn't even bother getting it.

  • @gergaginflopple I will admit that, although I absolutely hate him, Nathan does have a really powerful voice. I do like Nocturne and there's even a few songs from Midheaven that are bearable to me, but I absolutely love Digital Veil, more than both of them. Maybe its because the writing is heavier and I love the Alaska-era BTBAM esque sound. Travis fit it perfectly in my opinion. You honestly should give Digital Veil another chance.

    Also, Travis just seems like a cooler guy in general.

  • @Mooperty

    I've tried time and time again, I want to like it, but I just can't. I just can't stand that voice. I'm not after the heaviness, I'm after the feel of the music, and the feel I get from Digital Veil is just not what I enjoy.

  • @gergaginflopple

    Watch them live and you might change your mind but if your not into it your not into it sry.

  • @Mooperty Let's hope they find a new vocalist who is as good or better. Their current Touring Vocalist, Ryan Devlin does an amazing job live, at least.

  • @Mooperty agreed completely. He thinks hes a frontman for a boyband singing this garbage. The technical style of digital veil only shows progress rather than the digression that was midheaven.

    now they have some filler who is tied to between the buried and me from their colors era, hopefully thats a good thing

  • Honestly, I like Midheaven better than both Nocturne and Digital Veil.. Though the guitar parts from Nocturne are more fun to play, the music in Midheaven is much more unique, and artistic. Travis Richter is an absolutely horrible lyricist compared to Nathan, and he has so much less feeling in his screams.. Nathan is pure emotion.

  • 2:12 the singer is air-wanking

  • idc what any of yall say that breakdown is the shit lol

  • this is terrible

  • well I got his album but my favoryte is NOCTURNE

  • I loved the entire Nocturne album, but this...I didn't enjoy at all.

  • @sieda666 Are you fucking high?

  • @IDeathsIBreath i prefer this side of them a lot more than there new Digital Veil. I've been a fan of THA for a couple years now, and I gotta say I've lost respect for them since there new stuff. They went from an awesome metalcore band that had progressive elements in them, to a pure progressive band dropping most of the metalcore influences to a generic sounding boring and kinda annoying pure metalcore band.

  • @SlowmoLife you just said they turned to a pure progressive band dropping most of the metalcore influences then you said they sound like a pure metalcore band...contradictory statement much?? their sound is NOT generic at all, they wrote one of the songs in Sonata form, also another song (Holographic Sight) is purely Augmented and is played in odd time meters like 7/8 3/4 11/8 etc etc..not many progressive songs are like that and I'd love for you to name me some that are.

  • @metallica5252 I think he's saying the first album they were metalcore with progressive elements, then this album they went straight progressive, and in Digital Veil completely dropped the progressiveness and went to pure metalcore... He just doesn't know how to punctuate his statements to get his point across. Not agreeing with him just trying to help clarify.

  • @lefty156 But Digital Veil is not pure metalcore, i'd love to see anyone name metalcore bands that play in the odd time meters and classically style vocals and guitar lines and progressions that THA utilize.. They also have amazing song structure and don't forget the solos too..

  • @metallica5252 as I said I don't agree with him I was just trying to clarify the point you were trying to say was contradictory

  • @lefty156 ok my bad

  • I actually preferred this side of The Human Abstract. I remember seeing them live, and it'd just be Nathan on the keys... gave me a great, vulnerable NiN vibe. Everything else they've done is just pretty generic metalcore. And now with AJ back and Nathan gone I have no interest in the band anymore.

  • I cant believe this is the same band that put out two of my favorite albums

  • Robot human!

  • Nathan is quite possibly the ugliest human being Ive ever seen. Great voice tho...

  • Great album especially since their's less core crap to ruin it. It's too bad since they could have made a great rock band

  • this is probably my favorite song by them, amazing band, epic music, what more could you ask for, although Nathan could have done less retarded stuff with his face

  • no matter wat THA has put out great shit. I love absolutely every album they have no matter who the singer or the guitar players r

  • well whoever directed this must have said "hey nathan act like you have every mental disease known to man while you sing this song"

  • The singer looks like a fucking tool.

  • As ridiculous and flamboyant as nathan was, his voice was unique and really set this band apart. The new singer is much more generic, but whatever. They're still really good. jus' saying.

  • singer looks like an ugly chick

  • don't know what you guys are talking about, midheaven is my favorite album not only by them, but by any one

  • This blows!!!

    What happened to "Crossing the Rubicon"?

  • I am sorry, but this song is just annoying overall, I try to give it a shot a few times, but I just cant.

  • @WhoHearsTheMadnessTV I guess the ignorant of our current state of affairs would. Hope youre checking out the new asking alexandria cd tho. faggot.

  • @vinnyteresi What? Dude what are you talking about?

  • this is actually really good. i love THA, and i've loved them since nocturne. people need to just broaden their musical taste.

  • this video is werid and awesome

  • ew.

    

  • Comment removed

  • Bands go through a journey and some artists feel to push their writing boundaries into non-mainstream, personal creation and do not feel like sticking to the "same kind of sound". I'm not a huge fan of this song but there are really good riffs in it. I would hate to be in a band that put out such an insanely-incredible first album like Nocturne and then have to try to follow that up with something better and "new". Much respect for The Human Abstract!

  • I like midheaven, just because the album is focused on the guitar, doesnt make it bad. This album is a prog masterpiece and its what got me into THA. So back the fuck off you AJ fanboys that think you know everything.

  • The Human Abstract fired this vocalist because he looks so weird! WOOT GIMME A THUMBS UP IF U LIKE TURTLES!!!

  • You people are really shallow bashing Midheaven. It's not Nocturne so it sucks? Idiots.

  • @CtrlRm no its bad so it sucks.

    lame singing all the time isnt ok when your voice sounds like that, whereas the timely mannered verses from nocturne were melodic and beautiful, this is garbage.

  • @CtrlRm No, it's not good so it sucks.

  • seriously what the fuck! is wrong with the singers face! what the fuck is that!???

  • A.J. came back to save them from the biggest mistakes they've ever made......Midheaven.....and there dumbass lead singer who decided to get a big dick and fuck everything up......and that asshole guitarist who plays sloppy as fuck and trys to show up Dean......and...that one kid......

  • @DanielFortesquieu hey fuck you, Nathan is by far a Great ass singer, and a better one then that Travis guy. sure he made some bad decisions, but travis's cleans compared to Nathans doesnt match at all, Travis CANNOT sing Nathans song Vela at all. he fucks up that course soo badly, im sure you can find a live vid on utube

  • @goodboy196 Eh no fuck you my good sir, no shit Nathans a better vocalist then travis, but after A.J left the band went to shit and were about as hardcore as my chemical romance, and the example is this song right here. Travis helped the band backup on its feet from this fucking mistake. Im just saying I have more respect for Travis because what Nathan and the other guys did (excluding dean, the drummer, and bassist) is unforgivable. This is not the human abstract ppl started listenen too.

  • @DanielFortesquieu i actually really love this album.. i guess its just my taste. but the newst one feels too generic on some songs. and the first album will of course will be the better.

  • @DanielFortesquieu That's not really fair towards Andrew (The other guitairst). He's not a bad guy, I actually spoke with him once or twice. Trust me, the asshole epicenter of this band was the first guy you mentioned, and he's gone.

    Andrew was actually kept on for the writing of Digital Veil, he left of his own accord. Not sure why, maybe he wanted a larger presence in a band, for which I can't really blame him. He's a great guitarist, but he's just not as disciplined of a writer as A.J.

  • WTF IS UP WITH ALL THESE COMMENTS. It's a different unique style that they are trying to embrace... I like this shit... in fact... its Real good.

  • i just got the greatest 2min add ever... i accually watched the whole thing then found it on itunes and downloaded it...

  • Id say Dont skip midheaven, agreed its not the same. but dont expect such to be the same. agreed no where near the creativity of aj .... i dont know wher ei was going with this

    \

  • terrible!!!!! I love NOCTURNE 

  • I miss the old bassist that seriously used to freak the fuck out. This one has 6 strings and doesnt even do anything with it...

  • Midhaven wouldn't have been so bad if it wasnt for the vocalist and the absence of A.J. Minette. The lyrics of all the songs were good and the music wasn't that bad either.

  • @Yousuck00 well then u will love Digital Veil cause it HAS AJ and has an ABSENSE of this FAGGOT

  • the only thing i like about this is his shirt...

  • I love you guys! Keep it up and forget the haters!

  • The singer looks like if Rebecca Black and Trent Reznor had a baby

  • I'm really tired of people ripping on Midheaven. It's a good album. Just because the guitar licks aren't as fast, doesnt mean the songwriting is worse. Some of the chord progressions in this song are actually quite sophisticated.

  • band is so much better with AJ back. dont get me wrong. decent song.

  • fuck this gay ad

  • Nathan Ells is secretly the "Gingers Don't have souls" kid. I think that would explain midheaven

  • @fru1tbooter14 haahh. right on.

  • i never thought i'd say this, but the singer's face fucking pisses me off

  • @MrDudeface23 dont you just wanna kick it?!

  • @KirisuteGomen6661 i wanna kick the living baby jesus out of it

  • @MrDudeface23 yeah and his fucked up squinty right eye

  • @MrDudeface23 You do realize the director is responsible for that right?

  • creepy video xD

  • this album wasn't bad in general, it was just bad for THA.

  • For everyone coming here cause they've heard the Digital Veil stuff.. Do yourself a favor, listen to anything off of "Nocturne" and just do yourself a favor and skip "Midheaven".

  • @skacorekid616 so true. My boyfriend warned me already about it and said the same thing. I decided to hear some of their stuff with a lot of views, and I just kind of scoff or laugh. They've got a good thing going now. Let's just hope they run with it and don't look back.

  • @skacorekid616 so true. My boyfriend warned me already about it and said the same thing. I decided to hear some of their stuff with a lot of views, and I just kind of scoff or laugh. They've got a good thing going now. Let's just hope they run with it and don't look back.

  • @skacorekid616 The lyrics to this song are pretty powerful though i'd agree that if you are listening to THA for the guitar, then yea Nocturne or Digital Veil is the way to go. Midheaven is different but still better than most of the crap produced these days.

  • @skacorekid616 Midheaven is such a great cd. How dare you?

  • @skacorekid616 That's terrible advise. For anyone coming here because of Digital Veil, listen to Midheaven and broaden your horizons a little. This album has some amazing instrument work and even more amazing lyrics, both filled with meaning and emotion. If Midheaven isn't "heavy" enough for you to enjoy it, then you're listening to Digital Veil for the wrong reasons.

  • @skacorekid616 is midheaven really that bad?

  • ive been listening to tha for a few weeks and their new shit is fucking amazing so i decided id look up more...this is fucking terrible

  • this singer sucks

  • Comment removed

  • @poopoo427 Your an idiot. Nathan does not suck. You need a new pair of ears sir. He has more talent than you will ever have in your entire lifetime

  • Comment removed

  • hey, did anyone see that crazy looking female monster thing dancing around in the video? Oh wait, that's Nathan Ells

  • What fucking queers queeing human abstract. Went from a top metal band to a mediocre mainstream pop rock band.

  • @ozzyzmygodnyours

    Apparently you haven't heard their new music, it's brutal as fuck.

  • @mmhmmm2 the new music sucks cause nathan is not the lead singer any more

  • @mmhmmm2

    hah, I have heard it, it gives me hope. the last album was just a disappointment to me cuz Nocturne was an epic album

  • Yeah, the genius isn't here. But when you keep an open mind about it, this album is still fucking amazing.

  • this blows

  • Get a microphone stand, you don't do well just standing there doing dumbass hand movements...I like the new singer better. D<

  • ok this is the same vocalist from nocturne HE DIDNT hold the band back, AJ left which caused the style change without him the band changed a SHIT TON if you havent noticed this is the only good song off midhaven lyrically amazing

  • Say whatever you want about Midheaven lacking and being a boring album, but I think this is one cool song. Maybe their only good single from Midheaven.

  • Singer looks like a faggot. And to the song: no. Vela and Rubicon plz.

  • So their guitarist left because he didn't want to play metal anymore and then they come out with an album that isn't metal.

  • Besides the hate and what not... The meaning is pretty cool...They got my respect

  • how the fuck did THIS get on tour with ABRB and BOO?

  • @buy1getonefree because they have a new album coming out you douchecanoe

  • this is garbage. gimme back Crossing The Rubicon and Vela. and Polaris.

  • his voice isnt that bad. ive heard worse

  • wtf, there singer sucks. holy shit. 

  • I like the guitar, keyboard, drums, and bass. whats with the vocalist?ahh jeez it just got worse when the vocals changed to screams..ish. this song is ruined..or the band is ruined.

  • they all look like idiots lol

  • I love how dreds are flying everywhere in this video.

  • Comment removed

  • when did human abstact start becoming popy........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • @JazWillRockYou Popy?? WTH are you hearing?

  • @guitarshredder920 dude i use to love the human abstact and dont get me wrong i still love them :D but this song just seems way to popy for me .... sorry i love metal and shit :S if your going to reply to this dont be like a dick or enything please im not looking for an on line fight :p

  • i dunno what u guys are talkin about this song is pretty freakin cool

  • this is so like tool wtf

  • @Richyeffect what? it's nothing like tool. I don't know wtf you're talking about. Tool is different in every way.

  • i hope he does a solo country album now so i can laugh for about a year, the singer is such a fag and the band should not make eye contact with anyone until they redeem themselves with their new album

  • i hope he does a solo country album now so i can laugh for about a year, the singer is such a fag

  • this is garbage.

    loved nocturne his voice was unique and fit the sound well, but this is just someone wanting to sell some fuckin records.his voice isnt good but he wants to sing all the time... lol not good. im glad they ditched him grabbed aj again and are making boss hog tunes again.

  • Nocturne was so good. Midheaven lacked so much. Digital Veil sounds very promising. I miss Nathan however. Regardless of all the trouble he supposedly caused. He was a unique frontman.

  • 3 Years ago when this album came out, I actually thought that this was a new singer. So in a way, I agree with everyone dissing the singer, which I usually don't do. It's so different from Nocturne on so many levels. Not to be a pessimist, but I couldn't get into this CD at all.

  • Gosh damn advertisements. Makes me not even want to listen to songs anymore/

    But i couldn't resist the temptation to listen to this band.

  • Why the hell is everyone bringing looks into this??? It's about the music, not the fucking looks. Now if you want to be about looks and all that whack shit, i suggest all you fucking sellouts go to mtv and stay there.

  • wish nathan was back :/ but im guessing he made bad ass drama threw the group.

  • Umm, what happened to this band?

  • This is like tool's sober video and that movie 9 combined!

  • Wow, that Nathan Ells is one weird-looking guy, but I have to say that after multiple listens and complete open mindedness (albeit forced) I really enjoy Midheaven now. Of course I'll never enjoy it as much as Nocturne and the Digital Veil is going to be the best album ever, but Nathan did help put together one last example of kick-assery before he left. Thanks guys for making amazing music. Digital Veil will be HUGE!!

  • @camstr Meh, I feel like Travis Richter isn't going to keep the melodic side of the band as well as Nathan did.

  • Sorry but the lead singer really creeps me out.

  • This is the creepiest and weirdest music video I have ever seen.

  • Oh hes a ginger

  • lol i met them! nathan was a wack job lol

  • What a weak song, such dull instrumentals (never thought i'd say that about this band). And Ells was tolerable in Nocturne, but this....

  • this was kind of shitty because of the singing

  • If you think about it this music video is pretty funny...toys on crack

  • thank God they dont have this singer anymore!!!

  • I dont get how everyone can be shitting on the singer. hes got a great voice that fits the music well, his screams are good, and you cant judge how good of a frontman he is by a music video go watch a live performance and then make a decision

  • dude the singer is ugly as fuck no homo

  • @bluesteel0308 he looks like Miley Cyrus

  • its funny how I see how many people say "the singer sucks." For fucks sakes, the highest rated comment is "Such a good example of a singer holding a band back." Fuck you.

    you guys have no idea who THA is apparently. This entire album was a different track for the band. They lost AJ, and they wanted to try something different. Quit dissing the band and listen to their other songs from their other albums.

  • @christopher2step I cannot agree more, thank you for being the sole mature person commenting on this video.

  • is it me or is the singers nose kinda crooked?

  • The singer's accent and face piss me off, if it weren't for those, this would be PERFECT!

  • It's more than just being a "singer" or a "vocalist". You need a FRONTMAN if to represent a band and he is not a frontman. In this case the obvious talent is the guitarists.

  • OMFG the singer looks creepy! he scared the shit out of me!

  • these are the worst vocals i have ever heard. love the music hate the singer thats all.

  • GO LISTEN TO CROSSING THE RUBICON IF YOU THINK THIS VOCALIST SUCKS.

    FUCKING IDIOTS.

  • LOL 2:39!

  • I love this so much. And his voice is glorious, bite me.

  • singer looks so gay lol but what a great song with great meaning

  • Travis sucks

  • lucky for us AJ is back with a vengeance and nathan ellis is gone.

    now the band is perfect.

  • I've noticed on almost all of the videos for this CD everybody is dissing the singer. He has a very unique way of singing and to tell you the truth, i like it, a lot. I dont think he sounds bad at all, and i like how he doesnt just sing one way throughout the whole video. You all can go back to dissing him if you want to but i just thought I'd throw in my 2cents.

  • @KillswitcHxTDO Not only that, they only started dissing him AFTER he left. I'm sure that before he left they were agreeing that he's a great singer

  • @fovalorgeneral1 lol probably. I still think he is. I listened to their new stuff, It's ok. The screaming is better but i think the vocals themself are lacking

  • @KillswitcHxTDO I dunno about better, I think they're different, but I was reeeally skeptical about Richter but he hasnt disappointed me yet lol. I still love THA old shit, including Midheaven, the second I hear Nathan's joined another band I'm gonna jump right on it

  • @fovalorgeneral1 He is in a new band

  • @StewieSwan What band?

  • this singer sucks dick compared to the other dude.

  • @MrMusicislife69 if your talking about the first album, there the same person

  • @supniggaaaaaa I thought they had a different singer before nathan? nick i think his name was

  • @MrMusicislife69 what are you talking about lmao?

  • @supniggaaaaaa you obviously haven't heard the new album

  • this song is so intense it froze my computer.
