SWORN ENEMY - A Place Of Solace (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[Disturbed43216]

The way I discovered this band is kind of a funny story. So apparently their current drummer (not the one on this song) is the son of one of my mom's childhood neighbors who I met at my Grandfather's funeral this summer. I could have gotten some of their music free but she couldn't find any in the house.

[centarproduction]

most underrated band ever...

[Messiahbolical666]

0:23 Jesus behind the drums!

[acap7d1]

@Messiahbolical666

The best drummer for Sworn Enemy was Paulie!!!!

[xxScreamScreamoxx]

I listen to Hatebreed and Full blown chaos I'm more of a death metal screaming person music but when I listened to this band there fucking awesome!!!!!!

[cardkoda]

[metalhead4lyfe1]

my Government teacher's brother-in-law is in this band!! i gotta ask her who he is though

[mijatovski]

kakav nadrk...

[alvinmaniakus]

kurva jó zene! sworn enemy forever!

[TheCowboyfromhell87]

I just think it's funny how everyone who listens to hardcore or metal or whatever the fuck it is thinks they are the badest motherfuckers to walk. Seriously tho I heard AE is having a 20% sale this weekend to all you preppies out there. And please tell your moms to stop calling me about your report cards... I'm not trying to hear that shit while I'm smashing on them. For the record Sworn Enemy is badass.

[l3iohazard420]

i first seen this band on the local stage at warped tour in ny back in the day at randalls island the last time i seen them was at the downtown in farmingdale (throwback) it was otep sworn enemy and hemlock lol

[RainCityHardcore]

Ha shut the fuck up! Yelling? Stressed screams? A real music lover likes more then one style of vox. Come on, do you listen to bands that have all the same sounding singer?

[theevilpartofme]

Fucking masterpiece

[m4kub3x88]

thrash lml

[dannyidfme]

just perfect.. new style.

[RockinThecaddy]

Love this tune! Anything new on its way?

[Sheriff4892]

Dont know how old ya´ll are, but I am 42 and the Metal I grew up with has nothing in common with this.

Pretty decent though. Rock on folks, and have yourselves a merry metal x-mas.

[mayhemdakid]

metal and hardcore are NOT the same! Metal is for kids that had no friends in school, hardcore is for kids that fucked up bullys in school.

[xboxdemon69]

@mayhemdakid

Hardcore is actually for queefs who prefer yelled vocals (no talent) Rather than stressed Screams. Hardcore is a modern, generic version of punk. And punk sucked back when it was cool, and it still does. And what you listen to doesnt decipher who you are. Music is music. Whether you like it or not.

[mayhemdakid]

@xboxdemon69 i wont say that,

if it was like that,

boston would not have the fsu,

d.c. wouldn had inveted straight edge etc.

hardcore is a life style dude,

seriously.

[xboxdemon69]

@mayhemdakid It may be a life style. But it still blows.

[GDwerg]

@xboxdemon69

Whats better about stressed Screams, really.. :P

Punk lives because this lives and this lives because people find this good music!

[xboxdemon69]

@GDwerg Because stressed vocals actually take talent. Not just yelling/shouting.

And In my opinion, it sounds better.

[GDwerg]

@xboxdemon69 Well, I think you are misinformed. You try yelling/shouting this song and make it sound as good as S.E. does then we'll talk again.

[xboxdemon69]

@GDwerg No matter how amazing my band is, shouting will never sound good. Especially over repetitive power chords and extremely simple drumming.

[GDwerg]

@xboxdemon69 then stop bitching :-p Cuz we think it rules.

[xHonorXSamuraix]

the new of sworn enemy is shit :S

the old sworn enemy is better

[rappsychopath]

i love this music ! sworn enemy one of the best !

[stopglobalswarming]

I wish this band called themselves "Elevator Music", so we could here this fucking metal in every office building to pass the time.

[scimpi]

@stopglobalswarming agreed :D

[bryanjay1984]

@stopglobalswarming that would actually be a good band name

[Tryborc]

The boy looks like Justin Biever ;-þ

[feherkata]

Dean Razorback:)

[albalest55]

if you listen close you can hear some black metal influences

[blandishblaze]

fuck the underclass, a hapless crushing, a decimation,instant fan here!

[andrewcazba]

KINGS

[serenitylost215]

@PUNX4EV4R

You know nothing about SwornEnemy or hardcore in general, living in Philadelphia I would take weekend trips to NYC in the 90's back when SwornEnemy was called "MindSet". These were some of the best and most brutal hXc shows I've ever been too.

I've never seen a show like the Mindset,One4One show that was at coney island High, they set that show off in pure mayham.

[serenitylost215]

Their style in music my have changed from those days at coney Island high, castle heights shows, but their music today helped put them on the map where they are today.. They have to play music people want to hear, but I say this!!!! Go to a hardcore show that swornenemy plays are you tell me that's not hardcore!!!

[PUNX4EV4R]

Im sorry for all those people out there whoo like sworn enemy as a hxc band but i think theyre a thrash metal band in the hxc scene

[hxcfull2]

HXC RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oneswinter]

if you can't break it down.. don't call meh

[barkingsoul]

if your talking shit on youtube you should be hanged

[JrLiViNgSt1d]

FUCK YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! \m/

[HardcoreMetal89]

I think these guys used to be a pure hardcore band but they crossed over to metalcore great choice from my piont of view. they sound amazing, love these guys great music.

[btravislee]

the dad in this video looks like bob saget lol

[xseanx412]

Look! Jesus is playing drums for Sworn Enemy!

[ChildofBurningTime75]

@xseanx412 Lol if you wanna see Jesus in a band look up Head of KoRn now days lol

[HardcoreMetal89]

@xseanx412 You sound like 2 year old child, grow up cocksucker

[xseanx412]

@HardcoreMetal89 Now why do you gotta go say all that? Youtube tough guys man haha. 

[HardcoreMetal89]

@xseanx412 Bro i didnt say anything bad, i told u guys the history of sworn enemy thats all dude

[mechtal666]

hahaha.. ! funny vocals :-)

[cmentalppl]

these guys are really badass but i bought there new cd and was a lil dissapointed everysong sounds so much the same but theys guys got so much potential same with fall of serenity

[fecalpole]

Badass

[pasanlosdias99]

[wojvara]

kapustka pekinska mniam

[timerready21]

[CoD3fanner21]

awsome 2x base and guitar BA!!!!!

[bart66i6]

cukinia:-)

[madmike42345]

God they are amazing.

[warduckythe1st]

i love the guitars to this song

[PaulLayDying]

brukselka

[NihilAnalysis]

bakłażan

[gorkysire]

He looks a lot different then he did when he was a kid. Where did they get the childhood footage from?

[GothslayerEma]

I dont think that kid is him, that just an actor that they hired.

[gorkysire]

yeah but is that really his dad?

[EnemyofGod999]

They fuckin kick ass....Poserkillazzzz!!!

[GothslayerEma]

Their new cd kicks ass, but the lyrics arnt as good on the newest one.

[bobtheatog]

fuck lyrics, It's about the music.

[democide03]

naw, its all about both.

[bobtheatog]

nah lyrics are for chicks

[democide03]

wow, then you really dont know what bands feel for....

[bobtheatog]

if you actually played an Instrument you'd know..

[democide03]

know what..? how to play.yeah thats great.

but all im saying is words and sound waves are way better together, most of the time. depends.

[bobtheatog]

yeah i guess. But with out the music "music" would be nothin.

[Janurgastien23]

sworn enemy is sick, but this is way different from their original hardcore sound, but still amazing, im actually really surprised they kept going this direction after begining of the end and now with the newest album

[MetallicaDX]

i would have to say Howie from Killswitch does a better job in screaming. Devildriver and Parkway Drive do better as well. I will admit this guys voice is pretty damn good.

[LupusNoctum]

@audioslavish : I agree. Or a voice like the All shall Perish vocal.

[MrAffliction2009]

this dudes voice is AMAZING, but i do respect ur opinion, so thats mine..

[BabaKazi85]

lmao 3:27 the dad

[BabaKazi85]

lol dads a dick

[metalmaker43]

who the hell cares whar "genere' Sworn Enemy are?.......if you like them....say so!

if not.....then shut the hell UP!!!

[sht00ps]

sweet vid from the best of their class. no doubt replacements have altered their sound from the better days but mad props for keepin around.

[GothslayerEma]

I dunno. As a metalhead, I like this groove metal sound better. Fits the singers voice better in my opinion.

[aussie1994]

srry guys but heres the truth dont rply bad shit cuse thats for fucking fags but THIS IS MYYYYYYY OPINION the band is awewsome actually not awesome thier fucking brutal (in a goodway) but the singer just wrecks it the insturments are good but this singer isnt singing hes fucking scream talking but anyways if he actually growled or something the band would be much better!!! tell me if u agree or not and REPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[audioslavish]

i dont think he, quite, ruins the instruments man.. but i recon if his voice had a deeper more brutal feel to it, the band would be better off, in my opinion anyway... i just like a voice like the dude from despised icon... anywho... sick band, been listening for quite a while!

[cycosean]

i like the vox but i agree his vocals could sound better. he doesnt suck but he could improve

[Behemoth131]

the vocalist in this band has one of the sickest voices because noone really sounds like him or has a style like him

P.S. i dont think your a faggot or anything and im givving you a thumbs up to put you back at even : )

[ptdavisjr]

I thought the same thing at first but then, it fit for me. I love the riffs and their sound in general. Also I agree that all the different metal "genres" are a waste of time. if you dig the sound then thats all you need.

[markpaghi]

ive been listening to these dudes for years, there awesome and they put out a good message. plus they have sick breakdowns lol

[jorgeferguson]

panama hardcore represent this is one of the best videos that i never see before

[ScarsOfTheCrucifix]

dude who said, whats this song about.. could it be more self explanitory. honestly... if not, then my interpretation for your frail little mind is, he wants a nice place where he can be peaceful. not where he lives, with gangs, drugs, just general earth really. i beleive hes religious also, which is quite obviously why there arerefrences to 'god'... but basicly, and suprisingly enough, i think he wants a place of solace! :O M1ND B0GGL3R D@T 1 AY3!?

[sjz88]

"we hate" doesn't sound very religious to me Oo

[ScarsOfTheCrucifix]

the song we hate has got nothing to do with what this song is about. which is what somebody asked and I was simply replying to. basicly..

[poefire]

How come everyone left the band but the singer? I liked the old sworn enemy better!!

[Janurgastien23]

the only different member since the last album is the drummer

[chaldoski]

yeah! well the last drummer sucks, this is better I think

[peopleshitmaggots]

brutal hardcore band!!

[headrush131]

yea man you cant jus tie everythin up as jus metal. im starting a post-lipstick mascara turkey-core band with a symphonic rave-metal edge to it, combined with a bit of brian ferry! haha metal rules. fuck all u guys categorised bullshit. u sound like emo kids

[corrosivetrip]

oh come on man ive been listening to turkey-core with rave metal influences for like 2 years now. i'm more into the fake ass poser-fag core with a giving-everything-sub-genres-c­ause-i'm-a-12yr old-cunt influence now. lol yea im damn sick of the bullshit too.

[juan24700]

sworn enemy now is more thrash-metal than hardcore is more fucking metal

[XxM90xxShotgunxX]

Ummm. What is this song about?? A little confused here.

[xXxShebrokemyheartxX]

ThIs sIz nOt mEtAlKoRe thiS SuXxX

[iizanthonybuck]

Such a good riff at 1:17.

[MeNoLiekUsernames]

@iizanthonybuck not very original tho...xD

[rahlife79]

HAHA alot of you on here are clowns! I know these cats personally and I guarantee you unless they were at a family funeral these mufukkas wont be getting up early for church... Pinky swear bitches! HAHA

[nulebon]

For fucks sake people !!!

You know what? When I was a kid Metal was just Metal. I am sick and tired of this endless fucking labelling and categorising shit. Just enjoy Metal music as a whole or don't fucking dare call yourselves metalheads at all cos it dont matter what anyone else thinks it is or isn't as long as its fucking heavy, catchy and blows your head off.

[scootyman10]

Amen to that brother!

[randynelson1]

I agree this band is just a big melting pot of WOOP ASS.......

[albalest55]

@nulebon their not even emtal their NYHC well used to they changed to much

[3dd656]

@nulebon lol@ you for getting pissed about Metal on a Hardcore video.

[montyburnzz]

@nulebon

Well said my friend!

[3dd656]

@nulebon Except when it's not metal, it's not metal. Like this band. There's no problem with that, it's just not actaully metal. PEople seem to commonly mistake just about anything for metal music these days.

[AdamCole28]

@nulebon Amen brother, i'm in the same boat with you, metal is metal, fuck all the labels

[william4art]

I keep searchiiiing. somethings got to give!

Hear my prayers! is it too much to ask.....a place of solace! This song rocks!

[fcs122788]

why does everybody feel the need to argue with these comments? JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO THIS AWESOME SHIT!!!!

[trashsock]

omg ment to say metalcore not deathcore dumbasses it sounds nothing like death metal

[trashsock]

people need to learn how to listen to music its called metal

[appeltjesgroen]

great great band, love it

[sangrecontinta]

kuando vienen a chile?

[hyperforce123]

[THECRIME87]

[ferisferis666]

Freaking Sick Song!Just To blow your Minds off!

[frenchicelandicpomel]

i prefer the sworn enemy from as real as it gets back on

[soadrock18]

what happened in the video? did the guy find something about the kid or what? i didn't see :S

[PyroFox04]

Goddamnit, everyone shut the fuck up and just enjoy the music. Who cares who believes what?

[mrsmatv415]

exactly

[paluibavui]

thats not jordan asshole!!thats thier own drummer, jerad

[mistamontiel]

damn no shit that's the drummer from As I Lay Dying !!

[ibusttrashtalkers]

What's wrong with being a Christian? Being Athiest doesn't make you anymore hardcore than anyone else.

[mosherbcn]

yes but hardcore is not about god.. is about people.. so you can believe in god but is not necessary talk about him in all songs..

[ibusttrashtalkers]

I realize that, but if hardcore is about people, then God can be worked into it. I'm not saying God should be in all hardcore songs. I'm a Christian but I'd get sick of hearing about my faith when I'm trying to beat some kids down in the pit. We also have to remember that the lyrics are completely up to the ones who'll be saying them, not us.

[kingpimp778]

arch enemy kicks their ass bigtime atheist basterd

[mistamontiel]

Arch Enemy is fronted by a WOman, what is it gonna be funny now pointing at bands for christianity when you find out you're born for nothing and live eternity in hell ?? dont brag about it, be glad he found life for you asshole

[aesthetic666]

i heard him say god help me i think.....he a christian? WTF? ew..

[snowmankapow]

thats with the whole fucking place of solace dude

[mrsmatv415]

your ew..

[aesthetic666]

your a filthy wretched christian. e.e

[mrsmatv415]

who the fuck says i even have a religion? jeez..and no im not an athesist

[mrsmatv415]

haha i know that doesnt make sense..religion to me is pretty stupid..but i do believe that somethings out there..

[mosherbcn]

(first sorry for my english)

they are so religious guys. If you buy the CD you can see that they say first thanx to GOD.

In the majority of their lyrics they talk about "god saves me" "rosary" "help me, save me"...

and the last one.. the drummer is like a tattoed Jesus.. ;)

im atheist but i love them.. well, exept the last album.. (where is this song)

coz is not hXc..

[satanicrider]

Yeah he's christian. In his album by the "thanks"list he thanks god. .. unfortunatly.

cheers.

[aesthetic666]

im really disappointed in the amount of metalcore bands with christian members...such a shame.

[mistamontiel]

bitch get the fuck away from my kick ass music, your atheist ass born for nothing should be jamming to dimmu borgir cradle of filth some goth crap why dont you just move into Hot Topic and never post a bad comment on a kick ass video again !?

[lBaseJumpersl]

dude fuck you ...dimmu borgir is one of the best bands out there..its not goth its Swedish death metal..and their drummer will fucking out-drum anyone..

[mistamontiel]

Nigga, listen to Cryptopsy. Listen to August Burns Red. The only piece of shit songs I heard from Dimmu Borgir reminded me of Ministry, some piece of shit crap ass boring ass riffs, FACK YOU ASSHORR

[sas103]

swedish? their norweigen idiot... norweigen death metal

[psykometal]

ok mista you are fukng retarded if you think dimmu sounds like ministry cuz they are both way different and sound nothing like. and basejumper dude youre half kool half retarded; half kool cuz yes dimmu is one of the best bands out there and yes hellhammer will outdrum most anyone. half retarded cuz 1) dimmu is norwegian not swedish 2) dimmu is symphonic black metal not death metal

[satanicrider]

yeah, it sounds weird for others, but I really like the music but the lyrics and stuff are so christian. thats just a negative point.. tho i still listen to as real as it gets, we hate and sworn enemey(the song) but those christian things... indeed a shame.

[mistamontiel]

Those "christian things" indeed a shame eh ?? What are you ?? A slave for Satan ?? Or the spawn of Satan ?? If you're gonna be a slave for him while you're here on mother Earth, then fuck you dude, Satan doesn't do shit for you, he will fucking slay you bitch get that boo hoo crap God hates me bullshit outta here and just enjoy the fucking kick ass riffs pendejo

[ArnBucketeer]

well said sir

[adolfdepp]

word! many hardcore songs refer to god, it's part of the whole hardcore scene. It has nothing to do with going to chruch or liking the pope^^

[william4art]

You cant place Sworn enemy under a christian or non christian "LABEL" your right God is part of the whole hardcore scene . Im sure the pope and people from church can somehow relate to the words of this song at some point in their life

[galapandra]

Aweeeeeeeeessssssssooooooooooo­mmmeeeeeeeee!!!...

[disturbedbreed17]

century media brain washed them lol. they worked with KSE on this album, and Hatebreed on past albums.. so yea

[HrvatskiProizvod]

i just got out of the shower and im still naked xD b

[ApacheBlackOne]

nice video! xD y

[seanisthekingofpie]

It is what it is. Lets just be thankful its not rap or alternative rock...

[fcbarcelonacatalunya]

haha this is not what they even sounded like when they came out with negative outlook- for those of you who are noobs, they were not metal then- this is a completely different sound. i remember seeing them at shows in NY and NJ- NYHC not metal. get it right, dont try to take whats ours and make it into your bullshit.

[kracker740]

lol, they were hardcore. that shit was rad. used to sound kinda like madball. :)

[mondziol]

i love NY hardcore :)

[blood6heresy]

fucking kick ass shit

[Devast8ion]

Man, about time we heard something that wasn't whiny emo bitchy shit. This is pure metal.

[bosssoundbob]

they were never this metal...they were more Beatdown Hardcore. there from NYC. dont live too far from me actually

[Devast8ion]

NYC hardcore is badass. It's nothing like that emofaggoty SoCal shit. It forms a continuum with hardcore rap that comes straight from the bleakest streets. Thus I have no doubt this type of metal could come from the NYC hardcore scene.
