I Am Abomination: Abduction

[Dav3c101]

Holy shit, I have not been able to get enough of this EP. I don't know why and how they are so underrated. Everything about them has improved: the vocals are absolutely insane (melodies are juicy as fuck), the guitars shred to shit and sound a lot heavier than before, the drums are solid, especially where he plays those sweet ghost notes. If they keep putting out music like this, they'll easily be one of my favourite bands.

[XXRiotgirl12]

Im still a little lost on how people brought a7x into the video comments. I mean, theyre good, but why? Theyre like.. on a whole different spectrum of music. xD

[AndersonMarkJr]

i like how the incorprate dubstep sounds in their music

[tylerrwatson]

I've liked these guys since Jaw Dropper. Watched them play in 2008 for about four people and it was badass.

[xorn101]

July 19th is my birthday!

[Darkdarren12]

It's not that odd that people are comparing IAA to A7X. I mean, people do that to all bands that haven't been totally been established. Paramore was compared to Evanescence when they were starting and I still see people going on LoG videos and comparing them to Pantera and Testament. Give them time, it'll past.

[mrpak343]

why are these people talking about avenged sevenfold on a i am abomination video? fuck a7x just enjoy the music

[allthedeadpilots]

Our band was at Phil's house the day this released, haha. Good stuff! We recorded with Phil himself! :) Good guys.

[THExDARKxREAPER]

Jesus was an alien!

[bisDrocker]

very nice composition, very impressive, one band who proves you dont always need death vocals all the time, its to be used when needed...awesome work fellas, keep it up...

[TheDreadedDead]

This guys are amazing.

[Darkdarren12]

It's Post-Hardcore with extreme amounts of talent. How?

[ZackerinVonZackikins]

This whole album is about how the Story of Jesus REALLY happened.

[okTH3nMaN]

i was expecting such a breakdown in the beginning....

[xVictimOfADownx1]

wow i generally hate post hardcore but this is really good

[emoelvis]

Omg i don't wanna see a Dance Star Party ad or whatever it was before this. Ffs

[HunterNanick]

I've liked these guys Since 1776.

[CleanTreFlip]

@HunterNanick bullshit. they havent been around that long and neither have you... ass

[Darkdarren12]

@CleanTreFlip Scince 1776 is one of their songs, smart one. God, some people.

[adppromotions]

@CleanTreFlip 1776 is one of their songs man lol

[tylerrwatson]

@CleanTreFlip lol point proven.

[jerseyshorelover3]

<333. enough said(:

[Harvo154]

Why do people compare bands? first of all it comes down to opinion and how the fuck would you guys know who is more "talented" i love both these bands but PERSONALLY i like a7x more.

[MC9212]

It´s kinda funny to listen to 1349 - I am abomination and then to this

[Dezpin234]

0:16 - 0:33

It's practically the intro for Scream by Avfenged Sevenfold!!!! But whatever. I love this song haha

[tmoney61720]

@Dezpin234 screw avenged

[Dezpin234]

@Dezpin234 You like I Am Abomination and not Avenged Sevenfold? I mean, I'm not crazy about Avenged Sevenfold's vocalist, M. Shadows' vocals but dude, you have to understand how great of musicians and songwriters they are and how much they obviously influenced this band!

[wingeddemon1026]

@Dezpin234 Im sorry but a7x is no where this talented and the genres are worlds apart

[Dezpin234]

@wingeddemon1026 I mean no disrespect. But you have no idea what you're talking about. The people in A7X are way more talented than these guys and if you knew anything about I Am Abomination you would know how much A7X influenced them. And the vocals are different but other than that the genre is the same.

[wingeddemon1026]

@Dezpin234 These guys are fucking Post Hardcore and A7x is Rock and Metalcore.

[NavalFluff]

@wingeddemon1026 Avenged Faggotfold is shit. Even metalcore isn't that bad.

[notthatguyoverthere]

@wingeddemon1026 these guys kick more ass than a7x

[wingeddemon1026]

@notthatguyoverthere hell yeah i dont really enjoy a7x

[notthatguyoverthere]

@wingeddemon1026 I also listen to thousand foot krutch for stuff like this >:D

[phoenixsingerpdx]

@Dezpin234 A7X are not talented at all.

[Dezpin234]

@phoenixsingerpdx Haha, you're funny.

[TheAverageGamer406]

@phoenixsingerpdx lets see you play guitar like synyster gates then. just sayin...

[phoenixsingerpdx]

@TheAverageGamer406 That is a strawman argument.

[TheAverageGamer406]

@phoenixsingerpdx i know XD

[TheMixolydianman]

@phoenixsingerpdx your a fuckwit

[StatickShoot95]

@phoenixsingerpdx hahahha yeah and santa claus is real. why are you even talking about them in a im abomination video?

[wingeddemon1026]

@Dezpin234 I just completely disagree with you on that

[TylerJohnsonSK8]

@Dezpin234 no its not?

[lightxgrenade]

Christ on a cracker is this band underrated. They just keep getting better and better.

[rubberpenguin]

Seeing as how they got matt hapburn from periphery to drum...fucking beastly

[BloodReverence]

@rubberpenguin you mean Matt Halpern?

[kdbrost]

THIS SONG IS FUCKING EPIC.. PERIOD... And that Justin Bieber shit cracked me up haha.

[SyLaRSaGe]

Ohhh-h shit, oh shit, It's hard again

[superhotdevil666]

Epic intro:)

[EmoKid3711]

i would be incredibly happy if these guys released instrumental versions of their music.

[trogdortheenchidna]

this is pretty damn cool

[JetB1ackNewYear7]

do they still have the same vocalist?

[ArtistryofDebauchery]

Hmm, sounds like something outa the djent community..

[evaninboots]

@ArtistryofDebauchery they've been part of the djent community since the beginning

[MattKondrath]

The finger work on guitar is so fucking good. Amazing song.

[jbstanley5552]

i am abomination writes about the truth and opening closed minds. our eyes as a nation and even as a race of beings are closed. the world is run backwards the people are run by selfish tyrants the masses dont understand the power we have. i am abomination are also ancient alien theorist they do not believe in religion because religion was the first form of contoll they are the reason i"ve open my eyes if you like this band but dont know what they stand for your disgracing the meaning to iaa

[ccampbell119]

@jbstanley5552 ...........really? if i like this band just because i enjoy their musical talent and don't change my views of the world to mirror theirs, i'm discracing them? HAH. you may have opened your eyes, but your mind is definitely closed. noob.

[jbstanley5552]

@ccampbell119 hmmmm noob ? my mind is open to anything that's contradictory can you even play anything .......and the message is one of the main purposes to music so you can be ignorant and only bask in the fact they are good musicians like a hmmm whats that word u you used oh yeah a "noob" or you could be smart and buy the cd and read the lyric book so think twice before you call someone closed minded when your are the one making an ignorant statement

[roblock89]

excelent music

[XhoobastankX]

They're definately anti-christian.

[666willdrums]

(y) excelent UHSAUHSU

[jonny10rockss]

is this a christian band

[hokans777]

@jonny10rockss No.

[DeontaePayne]

@jonny10rockss No there most definitely aren't a christian band but I like that they are either way really not a christian band or completely against Christianity

[punkrockdrummmer]

@jonny10rockss They regularly poke fun at the ridiculousness and hypocrisy within religion. So no, they are most definitely not a christian band.

[sexhaie]

@jonny10rockss they do have that inspirational, uplifting sound, like they promote hope in their music, but their is no christain theme here, but it has that sense of it that christain bands tend to have.

[bokNpok]

one of the few hardcore bands that actually have guitarists wit skills!!

[trogdortheenchidna]

@bokNpok barely even hardcore

[GamingPrower]

Could anyone recommend any bands similar to I Am Abomination? Really addicted to these guys and their sound. The vocals, the guitars, everything.

[UrbanDouchebags]

@GamingPrower

Check out abandon all ships. I think they have a similar sound.

[paulellis90]

@UrbanDouchebags You are kidding, right?

[UrbanDouchebags]

@paulellis90 Apparently i'm also deaf. 

[hokans777]

@UrbanDouchebags No fucking way, Abandon All Ships sucks cock

[Woupme]

@GamingPrower I'd say "Conditions". They remind me of I Am Abomination :) Go check 'em out ;) May be hard to find, so search for "Fluorescent Youth" - That's their latest album :)

[GamingPrower]

@Woupme Already have them :) They are pretty good.

[jazandrob]

@Woupme same label not same genre....

[Woupme]

@jazandrob And therefore Conditions can't remind me of I Am Abomination?

[jazandrob]

@Woupme well there more pop/rock there guitar playing, drums, singing, and over all sound is completely diffrent...

[Woupme]

@jazandrob Same question... And therefore Conditions can't remind me of I Am Abomination?

[jazandrob]

@Woupme he was asking for a band with a similar sound...

[BaTmAnWoRsHiPpR]

This band has amazing instruments

[mclguitar1]

Can anybody give me a tab?

[SeanStephensen]

@mclguitar1 it's on ultimate guitar

[BlueKid37]

Did someone say they were signed to Fearless? Because that statement is completely and utterly false. The ONLY record company they've signed to and have been signed to is Good Fight.

[44crossed]

every year new album....new songs...new sound. guys never cease to amaze me!

[catbeasttrex]

and the people keep listening Jb, danm it this song and the whole Ep y so fucking awesome... and the chorus kicks ass !

[mikestoltz30]

gravy.



[eyeofthestorm50]

Masterpiece......oops i came......

[TheCynicalFox]

I'm going to make a conjecture and say that the album artwork for "To Our Forefathers" and "Passion of the Heist" were both done by the same guy. They have a pastel look, with the background being composed of lines.

[NickSampsonIAA]

The drums are programmed on this cd! I must have not realized I deleted my post! We have a guest drummer working on our next cd.

[sh4un1sl33t]

one m0:00re time!!!!!!

[TBAmitch]

best solo/breakdown ever

[rippingthroughmetal]

@TBAmitch lol, let's not go that far. Good solo and breakdowns, but FAR from the best ever. ;)

[KYECOfficial]

i dont get this music over image stuff to be honest. from what ive seen of the band its all tight pants and band tees. image is there.

[KYECOfficial]

@KYECOfficial and i dont mean i dont like the band haha. i fucking love it. i listen to this shit all day at work.

[llanwopnhoj]

@KYECOfficial go read the lyrics to 'Rock N' No Soul'.

[KYECOfficial]

@llanwopnhoj looks to me like theyre saying what ive felt for a while now. i dont see bands live because generally they look just like the androgynous things on the dancefloor. and if they dont, i still cant stand the tightest brightest fashion show that takes place in a slightly musical theme environment. and id rather the lyrics not reference soul, knowing how Joey Sturgis records. highly edited chopped up guitars and autotune on every clean part.

[makethemXearnit1]

@KYECOfficial well maybe i can clear it up for. IAA was signed to Fearless records and they will not except bands that dont have the look of a band. and for anyone that has seen IAA's from man hes not the best looking dude and at the time most of them didnt really look like they would be in a band. but they still signed them cause as you can tell his guy has some talent with singing and they have talent all around. but thats pretty the main reason why. is every band now is all about the image--

[makethemXearnit1]

@KYECOfficial and shit, not about the music. for example miss may i, prada, wcar, Asking alexandria and of course Attack Attack, and many more. just cause their wearing tight pants doesnt mean they contribute to that statement too. thats just ignorant on your part. but it is true, image has become everything now in music and they are showing that its not about the look, its about the passion. and for anyone that know H2o they can clarify that.

[KYECOfficial]

@makethemXearnit1 this is literally the best explaination ive every heard on youtube. thank you sir. i honestly just wanted stuff cleared up and you did it. i grew up with Motionless In White here in Pittston PA and they never dressed like they do now, when i asked Chris why the sudden change he seemed ill inclined to tell me and just said the label said it was good for record sales.

[DakotaAlvarez]

I just raped the replay button

[Linkopotamus]

I just now got that it sounds like passion of the Christ.. Erm anyway I wonder if that's what they're going for

[trace632]

Harry Potter font on availability FTW :D

[shawnsawesomevids200]

new album?

oh

my

god.

yes.

[ShaneRoweFilms]

I've never looked at this picture up close before, but is that Jesus Christ in the crucifix position floating up into the alien ship?! If so, that's so clever, along with the name Passion of the Heist. Also, these lyrics represent this picture really well (and I had a discussion about that on their Facebook post of their lyrics) if that is Jesus. My mind is blown haha

Amazing song

[Bellyouaredough]

holy jesus heist @ the time sig change at 2:47

still listening to To Our Forefathers fairly religiously-- can't wait to get this.

[georgekush]

i dislike the dislikes.

[RemedytoanEnd]

I GOT A HEADACHE, AND THE ONLY CURE IS CURE IS MORE I AM ABOMINATION!!

[sullenspoken]

I like how the blue font resembles Harry Potter font.

[ssj4trunks]

the only improvement I can think of is if this video was in HD

[DeIuX1337]

You know u are doing something right when the like/dislike bar looks like a match ;)

[Lolol3d]

Epicness!

[SamHyuuga]

i love the beginning. <3

[iMaggot1337]

wow.......much improved sound, more dynamic and interesting than anything on To Our Forefathers (and that was a sick album also)

[adisunb]

I was waiting for this to drop 2 weeks after the first album dropped, amazing song, amazing band, keep it up!

[TheDanoll]

The vocals in this song are better than all the vocals in To Our Forefathers combined.

[moonshadow360]

The dislike bar is like Justin Bieber's penis...

It only grows when fags touch it.

[BradTheMr]

@moonshadow360 This comment is so original. You managed to concoct a structured retort that mystically fits every piece of a good joke together in an almost artistic manner. How you came up with the idea to bash on a child, his private parts, and the statement that infers that the dislike button is only pressed by fags, is beyond me. If only those people that post "166 people missed the Like button" could be as creative as you, the world wouldn't be so bad. Go catch Malaria.

[moonshadow360]

@BradTheMr

Now is the time to ask yourself, Was writing all that worth it?

Your comment made me feel no different about my comment.

[skreetskater]

@moonshadow360 haha justin bieber got more pussy last week than you'll ever get in your entire life.

[JustYourShadow]

@skreetskater his dogs pussy

[Mask500300]

@skreetskater raping monkeys doesn't count

[MuhNamesTylerr]

@Mask500300 funny

[weeweekidz]

Vocals are nothing special. Nothing amazing going on in the drums. Guitars I've heard before.

Another band adding to the garbage out there.

[Sjoerdrock]

@weeweekidz the guitars on the album ''to our forefathers'' are freaking amazing !

[Nervosos]

@weeweekidz I'm looking for some good bands, please suggest a few, thanks.

[therealflameman213]

@weeweekidz  Vocals are nothing special? You're kidding me right lol - He sings like a damn angel you don't see hardly ANY bands that do what these guys do. You have that hardcore sound with the non screaming vocals.. they purposely avoided all of that. There is not one band out there like these guys..

You have Phil who is just a godly singer and Nick the amazing shredder. One of kind band.

[Rorix57]

@weeweekidz you must of been on some sorta a bad trip when you listened, try again.

[james1993p]

Another band on my list do download. Thanks guys. lol

[hxcnoah]

@james1993p lol awesome I have a list to, nice to see others do it (sticky note ftw!)

[Fozzy911]

talent.

[emptysoul189]

really well done

[Nervosos]

Who recorded the drums for this?

[Nervosos]

@Nervosos nm i see from the other update that it was the Orbinator

[KYECOfficial]

@Nervosos Steven Slate lmao. If he doesnt ring a bell google him. Youll get my sarcasm.

[Nervosos]

@KYECOfficial yeah, Nick actually replied to my comment that the drums were programmed, but later deleted his comment. Not sure why, I guess they don't want to advertise that fact?  Being a drummer myself, it doesn't really matter to me...so long as they can eventually find a drummer who can play the parts.

[Linkopotamus]

Amazing :) Can't wait for the rest of them

[FacelessFable]

this song is fuckin incredble! good job I am Abomination!

[EnjoiVDub]

lyrics would be jam

[burrss]

Worst part was 4:41. In my opinion. What an epic song. Good gravy.

[JonathanYDG]

I am in love with this song well done I Am Abomination. Music > Image.

[buttsniffjackwagon1]

i think this my favoret song by you guys i love this song!

[AJConrady]

Travis Orbin....

[NickSampsonIAA]

@AJConrady Not yet :p

[ColeWhite31]

Passion Of The Heist, it's an EP right? Their studio updates mentioned an EP coming out July 19th. They're recording their 3rd and 4th albums at the same time, so it confused me.

[NickSampsonIAA]

@ColeWhite31 Yes ,Passion Of The Heist is our EP! We are currently working on the follow up full length as well!

[A1ex1sBB]

freaking amazing ! and dig the vocals aswell!!!

[ReprogrammedToHate]

Nice job. you guys are ready to conquer the world.

[ClintFAFB]

This album is gonna melt faces!

[SeanStephensen]

what tuning do these guys play in?

[NickSampsonIAA]

@SeanStephensen This song is in drop C, There are a few on the EP that are in Drop A

[SeanStephensen]

@NickSampsonIAA awesome, thanks. learned about half today, gonna finish it after my exam tomorrow. cover coming soon!

[SeanStephensen]

@NickSampsonIAA so will the ep be mostly drop c with a few drop a? or a 50/50 split? you guys using 7 strings for the drop a?

[MrB0BS4g3t]

3:37 made me cry :D

[T1ERw0n]

[vwforlife69]

[taibi7]
