Converge - The Saddest Day

[TheWretchedWorld]

best deathcore ever

[Arilaen]

I'm not a deathmetal head but mmmmmmmmm this song, nom nom

The progressions

The breakdowns

Converge does it right

[SuperBspb]

@Arilaen This not even remotely Death Metal.

[Arilaen]

@SuperBspb Sorry for the genre mixup, should have said I'm clearly not a metalhead at all

Guess the bands that people have told me are 'death' have apocalytic-related or describing lyrics like this.

[Arilaen]

m/ m/ m/

[barbwireboy2]

It's a shame that Converge have the worst vocalist ever to walk the face of the earth...they could be really good...

[HoroxIsxMahxWaifu]

@barbwireboy2 You like Bjork. I honestly don't think your standards are high enough to rate Converge vocals.

[Idohateyou69]

@barbwireboy2 You're an idiot.

[shakakamooroar]

back when metalcore didn't suck chode

[BreakingDMS]

i like this new pop-musik =)

[DoorMat444]

FUCKING CONVERGE!!!!!! \m/

[damocles943]

I know they're classic metalcore, but I just can't get into this band. I like to listen to music that has at least some semblance of melody.

[r1kon5150vega]

fucking shit vocals let the song down.

[Gofuckyouresrlf]

@r1kon5150vega fuck you its punk GET THE FUCK OUT

[r1kon5150vega]

@Gofuckyouresrlf Fuck you too asshole.

[fadedsun303]

@r1kon5150vega Not really, but I can understand why you'd think so. The emotion and passion in the vocals adds to the song if anything.

[LaterzMcGhee]

@r1kon5150vega no, your fucking shit taste let you down

[r1kon5150vega]

@LaterzMcGheei this song does let my taste down but hay I was on drugs back in those days,Fuck you too any way....ASSSSSSSSSSS HHHOOOOOOOLLLLLLEEEEE..Your move cunt!

[rtphill]

Awesome riffs! These lyrics really speak me

[Oneupsalesman]

Man, I love these lyrics.

[TheOminousReaper]

Slow it down, speed it up, watch me Rubba Dub Dub

[JosHiExT]

Jebani szataniści !

[MrSelfHater]

When I am really pissed I listen to converge. I always end up just headbanging after a minute.

[Gumbo72203]

"The Saddest Day" accepts your forfeit, "Hammer Smashed Face", of right to call yourself the Most Destructive Live Metal Song In History.

[eastglenbenns]

This is the paragon of breakdowns. So good. So unspeakably good.

[dancefloorkid]

Why can you only click the 'like' button once?

[morglaysthesmackdown]

i just realized that thing has the smallest dick

[ConvergecultBastard]

CARCASS!

[0oasheso0]

This band is terrible...

[Nicolea9000]

@0oasheso0

While i will defend your right to speak your opinion to the death, fuck you.

[XXOAPTRAGEDY]

@0oasheso0 I mean, you listen to Asking Alexandria. Where can you talk about terrible music?

[0oasheso0]

@XXOAPTRAGEDY nice to know you be creepin. [: the attention is what i wanted. so thank you.

[qwehe005]

MATHCORE BROS

[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

Anyone else hear Inspector Gadget at 2:43?

[wabachababba]

@LetsGetHighOnMorris .. Some things shouldn't be told.. You ruined this song for me

[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

@wabachababba you don't like Inspector Gadget? :(

[MattF012]

@wabachababba that's a little melodramatic.

[circlepitx]

@LetsGetHighOnMorris HAHA fuck yeah ! :D

[ericsyre]

@LetsGetHighOnMorris

Edward Grieg "In the hall of the mountain king", as well..

[hijodeganas]

The first song I heard of theirs. Love at first listen.

[DirEnRefused]

Very possibly their best song ever.

[natehall32]

@makemedisappearx lol



[maxfieldmartin]

@makemedisappearx How the hell did this get top comment?

[MCDMars]

My Japanese teacher got me into them =D

[Leviathan268]

@MCDMars Your Japanese teacher must be a hell of a lot cooler than my German teacher. 

[CryptoDah2]

@Leviathan268 who is your german teacher?

[timdrage]

2:44 - DUH DUH DUH DUH, IN-SPEC-TOR GAD-GET!

[kowtpr187]

@timdrage sounds like it on the guitar solo part.

[HundredsOfAdjuchas]

AWESOME SONG

THATS THE 1ST SONG I HEAR FROM THEM AND I LOVE IT!!!!

[Xealot12]

I fucking love the break down in this song :3

[admiralPs]

the first time i heard this i ran scrreaming out of the room, but now i love it :)

[DomixDomination]

Im a 16 year old girl and I love this band... Why cant more children be like me and like good music :(

[redsplash168]

@DomixDomination Because this music makes you think.

[TheGermishGuy]

Converge is one of the only hardcore bands around that still has their roots in punk/first wave hardcore. Fact.

[BryanEKS89]

@TheGermishGuy

Fuck that shit, they're the only well known sort of mainstream hardcore band that still are true to the sound.

[TheGermishGuy]

@BryanEKS89

I'll agree with you on that one. I should have clarified that I was referring to mainstream, "big" bands.

[NokturnalTimes]

the guitar sound could be harder but its okay =)

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

@NokturnalTimes Please consider that it was recorded in the late '90s by teenagers, if you listen to their later work the guitar tone is excellent.

[mtthwpnn]

I can see why some wouldn't like the vocal styles but come on its way more approachable than FEAR BEFORE... or most black metal. Expand your horizons it doesn't all have to be a teenager in a teddy singing all pretty

[SBderUnterklasse]

My problem with bands like this: totally cool instrumental part, totally annoying singing style.

[dagurgisla]

@SBderUnterklasse that's just something you need to get into your system, the more you listen to it, the more you'll love it

[thepurplebottle6]

FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

[MeadowMovie]

I grew up in massachusetts and never saw converge and now I hate myself everyday

[mistacased]

Genres dont exist in my world. Genres are for closed minded dipshits. Music is an art. Not a trend!

[killthatcity]

@mistacased ironically, in saying this, you make yourself out to be quite the dipshit..

[mistacased]

This is nicely composed.

[MikioBo]

The composition and progression of this song are perfect and it's filled with emotion, no wonder it's the best song ever!!!

[alexmonro83]

Converge = hard/metal/grind/math/noise-co­re

[a166524]

Converge isnt a genre they are their own music, this is one band you cant point a label to, if you must call them Converge-core or somehting haha

[stayfreshvandalz]

@XenoJesus oh dear. please please delete that comment. if were gonna be genre nazis this is hardcore

[UnholyWarcry]

@stayfreshvandalz This is not Hardcore. Converge were one of the first Metalcore bands. Don't shit talk people if you don't know what you're talking about.

[XenoJesus]

Now here's some GOOD metalcore

[theaphextwinnn]

Jesus christ it's been awhile since i heard this song, brings back memories! Great fucking band man, can't believe their still goin hard!

[terror324]

converge..................... yes............

[xIAMDAVEx]

howcome his voice dosnt sound like this anymore??

[JesusRocksYouHard]

@xIAMDAVEx this recording is from 1996, so i guess 15 years of screaming like this makes your vocal cords pretty much fucked up

[xIAMDAVEx]

@JesusRocksYouHard

oosh it's quite a while ago eh, these guys been running for ages!

[Basskay]

@xIAMDAVEx Ages, indeed, my friend. :P

[ahmadmie90]

mastas of ravenroft Mad Gear and Missile Kid hahaha

[StaticBulletshell]

Frank Iero brings me to this song xD

[Oneupsalesman]

@StaticBulletshell How so?

[Rabidpixy1989]

I've heard several bands use that rhythm from Inspector Gadget. Why?

[LeftoverJordie]

im a fan of punk through and through but converge is like the best of both worlds say what u want about how they play or sing they sound how they want to sound which just happens to be better then most others hahahah

[NAA5]

Fucking brutal.

[BlakeMDavis]

Math the Band's cover of this is hilarious

[nicolascage09FAN]

Hurricane FTW ! :D

[DarkTwilightGuitar]

is this screamo or some genre derivated from hardcore punk? or maybe emo violence?

[MrFicction]

@DarkTwilightGuitar This is pure fucking hardcore/old school metalcore.

[BreakingBenniBoyA7x]

the instrumental sounds amazing but you can't even understand one word xD

[DarkTwilightGuitar]

so...this is metalcore...interesting!

[tranesonic16]

@DarkTwilightGuitar this is converge, i think they predate metalcore. don't call them straight edge salemcore, either

[DarkTwilightGuitar]

@tranesonic16 so this band began when punk was still alive

[tranesonic]

@DarkTwilightGuitar hardcore

[KillThroatEngine]

2:08

[KillThroatEngine]

I love how the breakdown sped up.

[dpetley]

Not the best Converge song, but maybe the best breakdown of the decade across all of hardcore.

[333druemonster]

ok

[chancelloroficecream]

the lyrics to this song are soooo good

[grahamzandah]

@chancelloroficecream Why would it matter if the lyrics are good? The vocals suck so bad you can't even read along with them in the description.

[ProYiffer]

@grahamzandah I agree

[Rabaikal]

@grahamzandah couse it's art!

[grahamzandah]

@Rabaikal You spelled cause wrong my friend.

[tranesonic16]

@grahamzandah that's the point and if you don't like it, I bet Miley Cyrus has a ton of videos you would enjoy

[grahamzandah]

@tranesonic16 How is having dissonant vocals but claiming to have amazing lyrics the point? If you can't understand the lyrics why waste time writing them? At that point you might as well just grunt into the microphone, odds are it would sound the same.

[tranesonic]

@grahamzandah they are the artists, bro. not me. they did it because they wanted to.

[grahamzandah]

@tranesonic Alright "bro". I guess there is a reason these guys aren't that popular.

[tranesonic]

@grahamzandah popular? like justin beiber popular? or green day popular? HAHA!!! yeah, there is a reason they are not 'that' popular, bro. go back under your bridge, troll

[grahamzandah]

@tranesonic No I mean popular like Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, or even Mastodon. Jeez, every time I make a reference to popularity you automatically jump to pop music...someone's got a one track mind. Bro.

[tranesonic]

@grahamzandah those are all pop metal bands, like today's versions of Metallica. Converge is not a metal band. they are a hardcore band. like today's version of seige. hope you like Infest.

[grahamzandah]

@tranesonic There are plenty of popular hardcore bands. Most of which are far more talented than the likes of Converge both with lyrics and instruments. I guess that kind of goes back to what I was saying about you having a one track mind...you refuse to look and see what the music scene has to offer. Instead you wont listen to talented bands that are popular. You don't like popular music because its "uncool" in your eyes. It seems like music is just about being cool to you.

[tranesonic]

@grahamzandah you have no idea what i like or for what reason. look at my username, most dissonant musician in history! why are you trolling Converge videos? bands 'far more talented than the likes of converge' bro, talented bands suck. are you one of those 'guitar hero' hardcore kids? i know where you can stick your arpeggios, all you kids wanna compare stuff and turn shit into a competition. "where's the unity?" go challenge Chad down at guitar center to an EVH style wank off.

[Grakkis]

@grahamzandah nah, popular metalcore is pretty awful. mostly derivative, recycled garbage. 

[nekromachine]

@grahamzandah, Erm can i get some names to said (Quote)"Most of which are far more talented than the likes of Converge both with lyrics and intstruments"(Quote) Please? I would really like to have a listen, maybe K.B engineered some of unmentioned but superior band's records/EPs. J.B may have done some of the artwork for said unmentioned but superior band's also. Please englighten me sunshine, I am dying to hear some of that

[tranesonic]

@grahamzandah where did you go, squirt? following the new fad of the week?

[grahamzandah]

@tranesonic :3 you still mad?

[tranesonic]

@grahamzandah i actually checked out some mastadon, K E and Lamb of god videos. just not my style. over produced hair metal. Pig Destroyer... now those guys are good.

[JBOY1996]

@tranesonic mastodon is effing amazing! are you on crack?

[tranesonic]

@JBOY1996 i like agoraphobic nosebleed. does that count.

[pinkpop91764]

wo fuck o.0

[wipje41]

love it, but i think drumcorps' version is better then original for me (saddest rmx)

[instantsurgery]

INSPECTOR GADGET 2:43 FTW!!!

[hostile1112]

omg this sucks

[Tekken6Community]

Respect to all of you, but i listen to hard rock and shit, i tried to listen to this, but why cant i seem to start liking this, dont understand the lyrics :( i should say, cant hear the lyrics lol

Good shit though keep on rocking MF'ERS!!!!!

[TheAJMetal]

@Tekken6Community This really takes a while to acquire a taste for. After a while of listening to it, the vocals and lyrics become two entirely different things.

[stroberg27]

@TheAJMetal Thats seems to be true for everyone but when I first listened to it I loved it immediatly and bought five of their albums in one day. I was still listening to the crappy gay metalcore of today.

[tranesonic]

@TheAJMetal thumbs up

[erickb816]

wow.. why all the dislikes? this is my jam nigga

[keaton121]

Kinda reminds me of the calculating infinty album

[rhombuslover69]

FUCK YES

[Beholderification]

This is my alarm in morning :D

[xXCopEaterXx]

@Beholderification lmao

[Sire666]

@Beholderification dude mine was bitter and then some.

[HomleandSecurity]

@Beholderification Vote this idiot down

[Beholderification]

@HomleandSecurity Fail troll.

[TheJames1233]

@Beholderification XD

[punkhed101]

@Beholderification my girlfriend would destroy my head with a sledge hammer lol

[WAFOSpresentations]

@Beholderification amen brother

[WAFOSpresentations]

@Beholderification amen brother

[profet24]

Imagine if this song was called THE ANGRIEST DAY

[akumaaizawa]

@profet24 I'm still waiting fot hat song hahahaha : D

[HomleandSecurity]

@profet24 Or, The GAYEST DAY

[CrazyJustin2006]

I got kicked in the head once by Jake Bannon. One of the best shows I ever went to, got some amazing pictures of him and the band, all I can say is Jake has amazing stage presence.

[Neogennis]

Amazing!

[xXNirvanaLithiumXx]

I love the part when it starts to pick up at 2:21 starts slow and progressively gets faster, too amazing!

[alex93metallica]

is this the remastered version? it makes the one i have sound like crap

[kylekronez]

This song is seriously one of the most amazing grindcore/metal songs available to the public. So much hate is spewed because "wahh I can't understand what he's saying BS." I personally think Converge is one of the most creative bands to come out since they're debut in I believe it was 96'? Yeah fuck you idiots. Grow up and listen to some good shit.

[thychaos]

@kylekronez lol grindcore? far fucking from it.

[toxicgospel]

@kylekronez Your comment has "personally" followed by "fuck you" in the next sentence. Your so-called opinion is moot. "wahh people don't understand what Jacob's saying and don't like my favorite band so they're idiots"

[brookieisemo]

Best song EVER

[iampoopman]

It's like the bastard child of Slayer and Between the Buried and Me with the sound of a guy screaming as his guts are ripped out in the background. That's what I think of this song.

[Puzuyo]

im so glad they remastered this album.

[godofwrath]

this bands is about as good as fucking a hot assss girl on her 18th birthday

[COSTELLOOOOO]

this used to be my alarm in the morning :)

[lovro18]

@COSTELLOOOOO

haha mine too but it was way too stresfull to wake up that way :DDD

[EYEmusique]

Love this! For quite a while, playing this album very loud was my revenge on noisey inconsiderate neighbours. Along with early Einsturzende Neubauten. :-)

[lifecutshort]

6:20 so fucking amazing

[DidTheySayCheese]

This is madness

[yusifer]

INSPECTOR GADGET!!!!!!!

[Gonztanople]

@yusifer i Heard it lol after the speeding up riff lol....gj

[krisseeboy08]

[jramz87]

[MetalPersian]
