The Black Angels - Empire

[Asheart]

I say:

"Hey, almost fifty thousand, take this.

I'm gonna see if good music listeners still exist."

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

music from 2006

[WillyFeelerbusch]

This song fucks my ears oh so right!!! Call to Arms/Empire back to back will rip your face off.

[litos1251]

keep music evil

[Cazz814]

@litos1251 Hell yes! I started to notice that dark music is really the only kind worth listening too.

[MRHappyHappyjoyjoy90]

ahh fuck yes this song is epic. EPIC! i cant stop listening to this track.

Saw them live in sydney and might i say, fucken awesome. only regret was not droping a tab :(

[Mosixman]

@MRHappyHappyjoyjoy90 It's 2011 and you're still not taking hallucinogenic drugs to expand your mind? You'd rather just 'trip fucking balls maaan' than realize that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively?

Hey, buy 5 dried grams of mushrooms, and take them by yourself in a clam environment. Just sit there with your eyes closed. It's amazing.

[juangamez16]

@Mosixman wtf man? is it really that crazy. i tried some and my experience was just extreamly brite colors.

but yea if i knew about these guys earlier i would be tripping balls

[Mosixman]

@juangamez16 Well you have to take the right dose. Also look into DMT.

[Cigaro1887]

This song reminds me of Apocalypse Now..

[GunTotinHippie]

just saw them at bonnaroo, unbelievable

[malawri67]

this is great shit!dig it !

reminds me of some old late 60's-70's psych,sort of Pretty Things,Pink Floyd,Hawkwind.

groovy.

[loranceb]

@malawri67 hawkwind for sure! these guys are a trip

[monkeymagoo47]

I coulda swore that sound in the beginning was a bong

[HoLOLcaust]

@monkeymagoo47 Kinda sounds like far away gunshots.

[albeacho]

I'm gonna see if you exist.

[clockwerkkilla420]

This song.. is very fucking intense.  Pay attention to the lyrics

[everyoneverywhere]

i don't know why anyone would dislike it either, but now the like/dislike bar looks like a nice green joint ;-)

[Jimmertime]

Seriously. . . two people dislike this. I'm confused as to why

[Tokiohotel192]

@Jimmertime Sometimes it's because they ''accidently press it'' It's happened to me lol -.-

[TheRoninShogun]

Hi I'm here to sign up for the cult

[number676766]

@TheRoninShogun

u gotta go through qualification first

[TheRoninShogun]

@number676766 haha here's the head of sasquatch what's next

[underserf]

Certainly to be the Masters o' the Fuckbeat, this stuff just throbs, breathily seeking a vinyl backseat on a warm summer night, yum...

[juangamez16]

i want to bang this song right in its kisser

[ke41387]

so good

[GhostOfTomJones1]

I LOVE THE DRUMMER CHICK;))

[gatoradelank]

@GhostOfTomJones1 yea dude, i would bang that grungy drummer chick in a fucking second. what a kickass woman

[revbricenichols]

It's like a better version of led zeppelin and a Syd Barret Pink Floyd, with some velvet underground guitar thrown in. I Love it! This hasn't left my ears for weeks, even when I was away from it. Way more credit is deserved for these guys. I would like to see The Abbey Road presentation on Sundance, but just them. Maybe some waits Thrown in for good measure. just GOOD!

[mormegil231]

Sometimes it gives me a 70s doors-like feeling...I love it!

[juangamez16]

in Russia marry this song you

[Chexmixrl]

@juangamez16 lulwat?

[mormegil231]

@juangamez16 Master Yoda?

[Domenique18]

@mormegil231

I think he means "In Soviet Russia, song marries YOU"

[PastaCheifFilms]

@juangamez16 double Russian reversal?!?



[de4dr4bbit]

@marvelac good music is not what pubescent teens are interested in.the industry caters to this demographic through "pop" music because historically they spend the most of mommy and daddys money on that shyte.but we all knew this.you get older and your horizons broaden and you come across "good?" music.but that is subjective based upon personal taste. a tight band is a tight band and this is a tight band whether or not they are popular.let the teenage mendicants have gaga and the lot

[Nicookr]

@de4dr4bbit oi. i resent this as a "pubescent teen" myself.  maybe a majority prefer that shit, but its not that large of a majority anywho... just saying man, it hurts to be discriminated against like that.

[Chexmixrl]

@Nicookr I agree, im 13 and i hate the shit of today. The 90's were the best (to me), then the 70's. then there's newer bands like black angels, the whigs, and kings of leons older stuff is pretty good.

[chaseduran]

This is how I feel when I piss in the morning.

[1joel8]

@chaseduran i dont know how that would feel? like theres a band in there and like idk..... LYRICS COME OUT OF UR PENIS?

[blaky039]

@chaseduran wat

[JonathanMoore2001]

Picking up a deeply intense, Joy Division-esque vibe from this band.

The Fable III trailer may have driven me to listen to them, but it's my ear for great music that will make me pull over and keep them in my collection.

[marvelac]

how come good music is not popular?

[whatdoyouwantandwhy]

@marvelac Because it has to be about something that keeps the population ignorant and lazy

[TheElMuffin]

@marvelac - Majority of people find it hard to think original thoughts for themselves. Taste is original. It's what you like despite what other people say you should like, for reasons that are your own. Thus, most people have no taste.

[TheElMuffin]

@marvelac - Also, tastes vary : )

[kamacazi8]

@marvelac because sadly enough people fall for trends in music and are easily influenced by what the present social hype is. specially with todays technology. these guys, and girl are awesome

[dsmloverboi]

there is def a awesome style of old punk to these guys

[MinniePancake]

Hey, Hey, Heyyy 

[TheMTTO]

yes, this group is friggen sick ish! And I'm not even crazy about new rock, but came across them on the new Fable 3 commercial

[billyboy434]

Their songs take me away to another place, where I'm at peace. Few bands make me do this. This just goes to show how incredible they are.

[TheMightyMosher]

This is the kinda band iv been waiting a long time for.

[jorgy29]

this is......amazing X_X

[heirofgrunge]

this is fucking great music!!

[Tarantulo00]

Even since I heard them for a 1st time, I got them into my favourites

[easymelon2187]

fantastic song. YES they need a hell of a lot more attention

[animalslayer2008]

im gunna stop this song here and listen to it next time im tripping

[IMA29CANNON]

I WISH I HEARD THIS SONG WHEN I WAS IN AFGHANISTAN COUSE THIS DARK SHIT PREPAIRS U FOR WHATS TO COME .I GOT MAD LOVE FOR THIS SONG AND YOUNG DEAD MEN OFF THE PASSOVER CD. THEY SHOULD GET WAY MORE LOVE THEN THEY DO .MAD PROPS KEEP IT UP! 3T0 SOUTH PHILLY GRAYS FERRY.

[jdsterer]

I heard this on the radio some time last summer, I think. It had been a long time since I heard any rock music that really blew my mind and haunted me for a while. Unfortunately, I didn't hear the band's name, so I eventually forgot about this song. Recently, I heard it on the radio again, and I was lucky enough t hear the band's name. Keep up the fantastic work, guys!

[Miezekali]

i wanna marry this song :)

<3

[CheryyCider]

@Miezekali

After you marry this song would you mind if I just had a nasty, raunchy affair with it?

[Miezekali]

@CheryyCider

Sure ;)...and good luck with your affair. the song is the best lover i´ve ever had ;P

[Solidstate5000]

This song makes me think of life really... questioning everything... in this case he comes to the ultimate question, his own existence and his end. It's dark but soooo beautiful

[EuphoricTincture]

A dark, absorbing, and strangely mysterious kind of sound. Awesome band, too.

[outlawcountryman]

the drums are relentless...i like stuff like this..its dark.."and he closes up his fist to see if they exsist" maybe a reference to druggies / sheep...my fav black angels tune

[mkrdmt]

My personal favorite on this album. These guys diserve waaaaaay more love.
