Enter shikari - Empty

[GamingSponge]

Have you seen the teaser for the new album?

This shit is going to be hot.

[EntreShikarii]

listening since i was 13....so much worse now



[SugaryBloom]

& This is one of the many reasons why Enter Shikari is my favorite band; it has been since age twelve.

[llamanuggetcrumbs]

i LOVE this song, i actually listen to it before and while im trying to go to sleep.. i just really like enter shikari, these guys are awesome, and i can relate to this song, the feeling empty bitt

:)

[Valtaire951]

i guess they had a nice run... just too short

[glint20]

I like new Shikari more tbh; more going on, I found old Shikari lacked proper melodies and got a bit boring... Still awesome though :D

[ZackyVengance22]

awww baby Rou ^^

[DominicLagrue]

@ZolaBCO Their old songs are in drop D, and their new songs are in drop C sharp. It's probably because Rou's voice has matured, and therefore is lower.

[MrLemmonCake]

@DominicLagrue bass drop C

[MrLemmonCake]

@DominicLagrue sorry read it wrong i thought you said C sharp

[misterstripes]

Download???

[thekidofpt1]

0:43 sounds like living saints by polar bear club

[sk8erhallas]

lol they sound a lot diffrent now

[TotalRandomNonsense]

@sk8erhallas better tbh

[TotalRandomNonsense]

@sk8erhallas opps that was better then not now haha

[omgxwtfxnoodles]

@asdqweyxcify

It's people like you who ruin it for everyone else. Their new stuff isn't worthless crap just because you don't like it. They're doing their thing, if you don't like it don't listen to it.

[surani1321]

One of the best bands ever....

[schelmhafterschelm]

just love these guys... fantastic tune :D

[franjbf]

I prefer the rou voice in the older demos of enter i think that sound is much better and clean that now in the new cd but i still love all enter like the first day

[ChipmunkThisong]

You could hear that kaoss pad 2 At 2:44

[asdqweyxcify]

it's a fucking shame that enter shikari think that they have to sound grown up on thier latest album...take to the skies is one of the most creative and ispiring albums i've ever heard, but common dreads is just worthless crap...hope they are going to recover!!

[Onimyst]

@asdqweyxcify It's not worthless crap, it's just different. >.<

[syrus1029384756]

Does anyone know were I can get the zone ep?

[rednutt69]

@syrus1029384756 anywhere! order it from a music shop.. or (even though its not the same as having the actual cd) itunes lol... well i got it like 6 months ago so might not even be right anymore lol

[sambobjob]

@syrus1029384756

Amazon,Ebay,Pirate bey,

[rtstephens91]

how his voice has changed

[Dashen666]

He escuchado esta canción como un millón de veces!!!

[khaldoun21]

one of their best older songs!

[EnterShikariAVFC]

i think it can be said the shikari golden age has ended. they still kick ass but...its not the same :P :/

[Paluszkoslaw]

@EnterShikariAVFC

Golden age had ended?! Oh no, you're wrong :D

[GamingUplink]

@EnterShikariAVFC They only get better mate but they drag their old stuff up to that tier as they get better too :D

[EnterShikariAVFC]

@GamingUplink It just seems that ever since Rou swallowed a dictionary all of Enter Shikari's music has become based around politics and sounds mainstream. However, they still sound amazing and because they're older their music sounds more professional, but anyone that appreciates Enter Shikari surely understands that their old stuff is way better and more unique/fun compared to their new stuff? But I'm glad that Enter Shikari's music has changed...because that means they'll last forever :D :)

[jcktrnr666]

@EnterShikariAVFC Wait... how much mainstream music is about politics? None

[EnterShikariAVFC]

@jcktrnr666 its not the words in the song that make it mainstream.

[jcktrnr666]

@EnterShikariAVFC It usually is. You probably don't know a lot about rap music, but why are rappers like Tinie Tempah in the charts where as rappers like Lowkey aren't? Because Lowkey raps about politics and the government and the rappers in the chart talk about a load of bullshit.

[EnterShikariAVFC]

@jcktrnr666 Thats because rappers simply talk/shout lyrics, so if the lyrics are shit then they get no attention, and it just so happens that people enjoy hearing the same bullshit. Where as in post-hardcore/metalcore/etc, a lot of the time you can't understand the lyrics because the vocalist is screaming, therefore, its the music that people pay attention to rather than the lyrics. And in my opinion, Enter Shikari's music sounds mainstream. But who cares, because they're still awesome.

[jcktrnr666]

@EnterShikariAVFC Wait untill the next album! From Destabilise it looks promising. :D

[daftrout]

@EnterShikariAVFC Enter Shikari is like defining evolution, they will be an always changing multitude of awesomeness. theyre golden age will live to their graves and beyond. nuff said.

[icameasryan]

@daftrout Couldn't have said it better.

[xXxSilentHeroxXx]

@EnterShikariAVFC Enter Shikari IS the golden age. Their golden age never stops.

[xXxSilentHeroxXx]

Words cant explain how much love I have for Enter Shikari. Their easily my favorite band. And I have a HUGE variety of music. i can go from this to smooth jazz or something, but out of all those artists in the world, Enter Shikari is my favorite. When i listen to them, it just takes me somewhere, somewhere where everything is perfect. its like getting high off music.

[36hunters]

@EnterShikariAVFC Enter Shikari are musically so much better than years ago. I prefer the older stuff in some ways but the you can't be the newer stuff.

[EnterShikariAVFC]

@36hunters I think their music is more professional than what it was, and yeah I think that no band can match their music style, but I personally prefer the older stuff. Either way, I'm glad that they still have a passion for creating fucking awesome music :)

[iMAKEMiLLiONs111]

bit off a mess

[hazzpro]

i fucking love this song. i wish this went on their album so bad. i saw them the other day and they said "this is for all the oldskoolers" i thought were going to play either empty, bearer of bad news etc. this is their original shit that i fucking love. common dreads stuff is good aswell i just wishing for the 3rd album to be the original sound again.

[simeon94]

@hazzpro was that hammersmith?

cos they said that there

but played return to energizer

which compared to this really isn't that old

[darcymolyneux17]

@simeon94 DUDE HAMMERSMITH KICKED ARSE! I was there too and yeah they did! They said that and played Return to Energiser, not complaining, it was incredible! AND THEY PLAYED JOHNNY SNIPER ^_^

[simeon94]

@darcymolyneux17 I KNOW

i was so happy cos they didn't play that last time i saw them

epic night

the support were good too

[darcymolyneux17]

@simeon94 They said they were never going to play it again and when they did, it was insane! and yeah the King Blues were brilliant... their cover of bonkers was great!

[simeon94]

@darcymolyneux17 i knew that knowing all the lyrics to that song would come in handy :D

[darcymolyneux17]

@simeon94 haha, tell me about it! Great night!

[hazzpro]

yeh hammersmith lol. i thought they were gona play OLD stuff but they played return to energiser which is kinda old but was on take to the skies so its not rlly for all the fans who heard them from the begining.

[simeon94]

@hazzpro still an amazing night though

[hazzpro]

amazing but unfulfilled to a certain extent. I WANTED MORE

[simeon94]

@hazzpro i wanted labyrinth and hectic, but i've seen both live before, so i m not too fussed.

[iiRockUrSocksOff]

did anyone ever recorded this live?

[niebelung54]

its neither post-hardcore nor trancecore, its Happy-hardcore as stated on their own homepage

[CaptainChiodoz]

their new stuff is happy hardcore, this old stuff is post hardcore.

[MaxXx24]

THIS is definitely NOT Happy Hardcore...

Their new stuff is but this was written and played about 2002!! And as you can hear there arent as many synthies and keys as these days

[AnaisxTyron]

j'adoreee

[littlesuperspeedy]

trancecore °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

[CaptainChiodoz]

is a made up name. there is no such genre as trancecore.

[Aston2508]

thank you, thats what i always say

[mmcodomino]

id call this post hardcore.

[JPWaIsh]

Enter shikari translates as Enter The Hunter

kick ass band

[Aston2508]

could be seen as a bit of a sexual inuendo though, i just hope the hunters female

[Krunkklunk]

Enter Shikari is the name of a Boat - i think i read that off wikipedia lol

[overxagerated]

tbh either way the name enter shikari is cool :) and tbh like no other band names that i have heard

[shade4boss]

Fire in japanese is katon. : |

Hi means "yes" not "fire" ;P stewpid.

[shit311]

shikari = funeral for a friend plus metro station

dont you think they have a great idea?

young bands nowadays are so creative i guess

[heydudeguyperson]

Actually *puts on nerd glasses* They said that "shikari is a Japanese term for fire...also, roux likes anime

[shit311]

ah its not true. not japanese. its a hindi word for a hunter

so the name in english is "Enter The Hunter" (means go outside and get what you want)

[heydudeguyperson]

Lol, they actually talked about hat they had like 3 choices I think, Idk though, I got it off their facebook

[shit311]

okay

[ZachDevlin]

you are totally wrong sorry to say, entershikari is translated in english as enter the hunter

[heydudeguyperson]

"shikari means fire in japanese...(I watch anime!) so enter shikari means in varse japanese detail "enter the fire" do I really gotta say this ova? hunter/fire/stillborn we had to choose 1..."

this is from their facebook, so I guess we are all right...

[shit311]

noooooooooooooooooooooo dude you got wrong info!!!!!! shikari means hunter in hindi!!!!!!!!

and "fire" in japanese is "hi" or "honou"

[EcuadorFreak]

@heydudeguyperson LOL I watch anime......WEEABOO.

[dek1deedee]

Does It Really Matter ? They Got The Idea From Rous Uncles Boat. In Various Languages It Means Various Things, Leave It At That, Thats Not Just To Zach I Just Thought I'd Put It Here To Make My Arguement Seem Relevant :)

[sadxhacks]

who fucking cares

they are a truly amazing band with an original name and are only getting better

fire hire church steeple it doesnt matter theyre still good

[dek1deedee]

Twat, The First Four Words Are " Does It Really Matter ? " I Know it Doesnt Matter But These Little Bum Boys Seem To Think It Does, So I Just Wanted To Stop The Petty Arguements. " Keave It At That " - Read An Arguement Properly Before Opposing It Fagget.

[joeryanisaocelot]

You should read your own argument properly before commenting. Learn how to spell 'faggot'. Also, your habbit of putting a capital letter on every word is annoying as fuck.

[XleftycurseX]

@joeryanisaocelot hes riiight, holy fuck is that capital shit annoying as fuck.

[joeryanisaocelot]

i know, the little quendo

[Magik21]

they choose name Shikari just because only cuz they liked the word :) but there was one other band with same name... that time Rou was writing a play that time and the main character was called Shikari and there was a line in that play that included: ...enter Shikari... and they liked it, so they chose it as a band name

[ZachDevlin]

@Magik21 that is true to be honest i found it out not too long ago.. my apologies people

[ZachDevlin]

i think they're a bit older than metro station, and maybe even funeral. sorry to say

[shit311]

i dont mean they copied these 2

what i wanted to say was just "you can make shikari sound if you mix those bands into 1 song"

[JoeyIsMoi]

not older than funeral. deffo older than metro station tho.

[cullen1298]

Funeral formed in 2003, these in 2001... but they're definately older than Metro Station.

Either way out of those three bands Enter Shikari are by far the best.

[lakai958]

@cullen1298 metro station sucks

[swannymanM12]

@cullen1298 these havn't been together 2001 rou, rob and chris have but not enter shikari as most the world knows them because they were Hybryd 1999 and then change to enter shikari the same time as funeral formed

[mattwatchesvids]

what is this? sounds like alesana or something

[matto2k9]

no lol its enter shikari. kindasays tht in the title. LOL

[mattwatchesvids]

it doesn't even sound like them.  i really don't like it

[thxtonedude]

nah dude this is way before take to the skies and common dreads i think you should check out more of these older songs, like nodding acquantance and the feast and we can breath in space, they sound totally different but its still badass, maybe even better than their new stuff 0_o

[mattwatchesvids]

i have the CD "The Zone" i like the feast but i don't have we can breath in space. i've heard it and its ok. i like "Take to the skies" i have around 100 plays on mothership and anything can happen in the next 30 minutes. i listen to it a lot lol. i don't think any thing could top it ahhaa

[saugeiil]

yeah^^ their music is much different xD

[kezz667]

their music has changed so much o.o

but to be fairly honest,

all of their song completely pwn. ^^

[RedDeadRevolver]

Loved there old stuff love there new stuff is epic

[bALLSACK2113]

why would they remake it, its perfected...

[rhiannechan]

favourte :D

[spdev555]

they really should mate i completely get you, i dunno why these twats un-thumbed you?

[pShurican8]

reply to this comment if you think they should resell Nodding Aqu. on their website

[C0oNNo0R]

no i dont i think it should be left alone...

makes it more valuable and special that way

[99bay]

so good old stuff!!!

[Jambo601165]

Liked them then, love them now. Enter Shikari have come such a long way in such a short amount time.

[PeaceBringerDude]

and then Rou's balls dropped.

[OkJohnnyLetsGo]

@PeaceBringerDude from his chin, by the looks of things

[ZolaBCO]

@PeaceBringerDude I heard rumours that they used to pitch one tone higher their songs. I'm not sure, just saying, ;P

Funny is that if you pitch it down, they sound just like nowadays.

If you pitch newer songs one step higher they sound like this.

[PeaceBringerDude]

@ZolaBCO Hmmm that one's new to me. Seems a really bizarre thing to do though haha. Given me something to ponder like a good un'.

[ZolaBCO]

@PeaceBringerDude Well, many bands do that. xD

Then all the fans are just like "OMG WTF THEY SUCK LIVE".

Sometimes they are forced to pitch the songs by the one who takes care of the band recording business, I forgot the name in english.

[fluorescentmess]

the first time i heard this i thought it was test icicles

[Brendonisthesex]

rou his voice has improved so much (:

I love enter shikari from the beginning and still loving them

[AVAsteff182]

This one sounds almost like Lost Prophets stuff from Start Something...

[7777nic777]

yeah man his voice also sounds kinda like ian watkins voice...

although i like the new stuff better

[pap3rplat3]

Come now and leave with me, this place is almost empty. - Great Line!!!!!!!!!!!!

[monksielolz]

[xr0ck3rx1806]

[pap3rplat3]

[FoolsRushIn0]

[katinaars]

[MyLittleBonsai]

[iaindonnelly92]

I love Rou's old screams.

I also like how the old stuff seemed to be very loose and free-flowing.

[Jimeisterman]

This is one of the best songs they've done

[psychodudebrett]

[WafflesandCookie]

i loved shikari when they were like this like really underground and no one had heard of them i saw them 5 years ago :)
