[Atreyu1611]

such an amazing band...no one sounds like this out there right now, it's like a progressive post-hardcore...really love the flow and feeling of all their songs...the screaming works so well and has so much emotion but it's not all about how fast or loud it is, just fits with the songs so well...keep up the awesome work and can't wait for more new stuff

[DSHSpaul]

@Atreyu1611

You're too kind. I'm glad you like what we're doing, and the new stuff is coming along, so not too long to wait now.

Paul

[amaranth7777]

Wow....I....Wow...I really don't know if I like this but then a melody/a scream/a riff comes in which really gets me...it grabs my attention and that's gotta be a good thing right?

Yeah...new sound...Wow...

[Mortyenh]

Love this band, keep it the same!

I will say that this is my favorite band of all time.

Use a lot of time on the new album, i want something amazing!

[DSHSpaul]

@Mortyenh

Thanks! It's always nice to get comments like this :)

We'll try not to let you down with the new album. The writing is coming along well, so it might not be too long until we record.

Paul

[Mortyenh]

@DSHSpaul

Looking forward to! have fun recording the album guys!

[jam406]

@DSHSpaul NEW ALBUM??! So stoked right now. Will there be a UK tour too?

[DSHSpaul]

@jam406

Paul

[DSHSpaul]

@Seanwoodsgkh

Glad to hear it :)

Paul

[ludoletono]

Hell yeah!!! This is the song that hooked me up. I m loving the new album great job, hope to hear more from you.

Paul

[megortz]

Oh hell yeah! you guys play Pukkelpop festival in august, see you there!

[DSHSpaul]

@megortz

Yep, should be a good one!

Paul

[XEMNESLINK]

I'm surprised this video has so little views considering the amount of time and effort put into the video

[turbocpt1]

Nice work! I have been in metal / punk all my life, it is normally dificult to just like and accept any new band, I liked the screamo style from the start. As the storm unfolds being one of my favorites! rock on Dudes!!! \m/-_-\m/

[TheLuciferswolf]

!,,!

[toothybobrobs]

[Reesyd070994]

0:52 Such a sick bassline! :D

[piramaniak]

Dude its so cool that you reply to a lot of comments, most bands don't really give enough of a shit to do that =] Seeing you on Friday in Bristol for the second time, can't fucking wait!!!!!!

[DSHSpaul]

@piramaniak

If someone takes the time to write to us or comment on here, I think it's only right to reply.

Should be a good one, as it's a home-town show for a couple of the guys.

Paul

[celtic86xndr]

I just heard of u guys today!!!!!! You have a new fan!! keep rocking! :)

[DSHSpaul]

@celtic86xndr

No, sorry we're not doing those dates either.

Paul

[BennyVengeance888]

@DSHSpaul Awh damn.. :( Thats such a pity!! Well when you guys DO come to Ireland, i'll be first in line. :P I love your music, please don't stop making it. :)

[Mekill60]

Thank you for such brilliant music. Honestly, you don't hear such unique music anymore. Cheers from Ohio! :)

[DSHSpaul]

@Mekill60

You're too kind.

Paul :)

[whitepony1986]

shit's amazing

[Yumamosh]

[DSHSpaul]

Paul

[pepdawg1989]

[ThisIsWhereMyHeartIs]

God.... I'm scared! Lovely song though

[danspare]

lol

[liketrumpets07]

get a shiver every time I listen to this song, never fails.

very very excited about blessed and cursed. just found out andrew neufeld is featured on it.....niiiiiiiiice ;]

[killglassjaw]

@liketrumpets07 the guy from comeback kid?

[DSHSpaul]

Yep.

[GiuseppeNikola]

You should come to the continent - Slovakia, Czech republic or Austria

[2965islyfegodfrey]

They remind me of the "Ink Spots" everything sounds the same

[bobbyjohnbunn]

im so gutted that i missed you at offset festival. we got all the times mixed up and when we got to the hardcore tent everyone was walking out.

[DSHSpaul]

Bummer :(

Paul

[optimusgoz]

since ill never get to see mahumodo, why dont you guys come to australia? great idea huh?

[DSHSpaul]

We'll be over as soon as we can.

Paul

[xXSarcasmicXx]

@optimusgoz perth to be precise ^^

[DSHSpaul]

Nice, we could watch the sun set over the sea ;)

[123jinkazama]

thnx ill keep that in my mind some of your songs vocals are drowned out was that a mixing error or you just wanted to sound like that

[DSHSpaul]

We wanted it to sound like that.

Paul

[Atreyu1611]

@DSHSpaul Awesome band the music is amazing...was going to subscribe to you thinking you would have a bunch of music similar to this or that influenced...but you have way too much mainstream hip hop, rap and bullshit like that on your page..love the lamb of god but thats about it lol

[DSHSpaul]

lol True, I should put more vids in my faves of heavy bands I like ;)

Paul

[killglassjaw]

@Atreyu1611 subscribe to my channel dude. i have a lot of videos in my favorites that are similar to DSHS. you'll have to forgive me for the hip hop videos. atleast they're not mainstream rap artists.

[123jinkazama]

how did you think of a band name, because i wanna start a band of my own and im thinking of a name, we play deathcore and post hardcore.

[DSHSpaul]

It took us ages. We wanted a name that meant something i.e. has something to do with what we were thinking and feeling at the time of starting the band, and what we wanted the band to stand for. We also wanted the name to sound good, which was the hard bit ;)

Paul

[2buriedalive2]

That Song is just godlike, i love both the video and the song. I want more songs like that.

[DSHSpaul]

Take a look at our EP or album ;)

Paul

[TheKarlish]

Love this track, and the entire album tbh. Keep up the good work lads, looking forward to the next album! Hopefully i'll get to catch one of your gigs this year also. Much love ;D

[jayJAY67676]

This song and album are truly exceptional. u guys doing guilfest this year? saw u the last couple of years and u were intense.

[DSHSpaul]

Thanks! Well happy you like what we're doing. Lets hope we can get the new album out soon.

I'm not sure at this point. I would think we will, if we're in the UK at the time. Glad you liked our set(s).

Paul

[3mm3]

Come to Sweden, DSHS! I know so many people here that loves you! Best band I've listened to since Linkin Park back in like 1999 :P

[DSHSpaul]

We should be over to push the new album. Need to get it finished first though ;)

Paul

[Tyzz]

The instrumental piece at the end is very cinematic, have you had any offers to be used in films yet?

[DSHSpaul]

Not yet, but here's hoping.

Paul

[elektrikliquid666]

you guys are insanly sic at makin music

[chrisdunne]

this music is amazing,makes me want to continue to live

[swatdan]

Great video and amazing song. You are one of my favourite bands. No dude.

PS: Shows in Spain??

[DSHSpaul]

Thanks! That's very nice of you to say.

We'll be over as soon as we can. Got to get the new album finished first ;)

Paul

[swatdan]

A question. In that genre you think you are? :D

[DSHSpaul]

Good question lol

We've been trying to answer that one for the past six years. I now just say we crossover a few different genres and let other people say which ones they are ;)

Paul

[Avenume]

Ambient Post Hardcore! ;) Thats my opinion ;D. I love that music!

[spacegrace123]

oh my your music is amazing!

you should try and get down to New Zealand some time, everyone would love you here.

[DSHSpaul]

We'll be over as soon as we can.

Paul

[paolotagliano]

i love the mix of ambient vocals/guitar/electronica and the slow heavy drum/guitar combo.

[moshfede]

come to italyyyyyy

[KittieKatKitKat]

Come to Guernsey, in the channel islands. The music scene here would go crazy for you

[DSHSpaul]

Get the promoter to drop our booking agent a line ;)

Paul

[malcujem]

Are you gonna come in France ?

[DSHSpaul]

I'm sure we'll be doing some more shows in France in 2010.

Paul

[hopeinpain]

hey..

this song is really great. Its gives me an option to think about the life in a deeper way.

and if i become mentally ill, i still would love this soung.

[DSHSpaul]

I'm glad to hear that you like what we're doing.

Paul

PS: Your English is way better than my Turkish.

[DemonicGman]

very cool sound you have here. it reminds me a little bit like Converge, but wildly different at the same time. Good job.

[DSHSpaul]

That comment should make Ed and Iain's day, mine too :)

Paul

[MetalCoreOli]

Great!

[ElmosNo1]

This stuffs a very strange mix of heaviness and the sorta tempo's you get in intro tracks...but in all the songs! Seem to be doing pretty well for themselves with it though.

[TearsTakeOverMe]

Do you guy's, like, have your album's in stores?

-Priscilla #1 Fan ;D

[DSHSpaul]

We do in Europe, but not in the US. Will do for the next one.

You can buy them direct from us off our web-store. The link is in the top right-hand corner of this page.

Paul

[TearsTakeOverMe]

well, if u say so :D

[Tburd88]

I love you guys :)

'Hope' is the best song every. even though the lyrics are minimal they say so much. 'Give up everything for the chance' is tattooed down my spinal. all i need now is you guys to sign underneath the lyrics so i can get them tattooed :) love Theresa xx

[Ichiyasha]

Hey paul do you consider devil sold his soul to be screamo? What do you guys like to call it? This sounds a lot like real screamo but I wanted to hear from you.

[DSHSpaul]

We don't think we're screamo. We tend to say we're a crossover band, as we have a mix of different metal styles and don't seem to sit in a genre.

Paul

[Ichiyasha]

What different genres do you consider yourself then that you mix together?

I think ing eneral most bands you can classify as many like linkin park you could call them rapcore, you could call them alternative rock, you could call them nu metal and they all work. Like this band I could see ambient, screamo, black metal, post-hardcore, electronic, etc. you know what I mean?

[DSHSpaul]

I've given up on saying the genres I think we crossover, as someone always says I'm wrong. I now say we're a heavy crossover band that plays dark, epic, ambient, metal & let other people try to pin labels.

There's a big mix of stuff in our music & I think people hear different things, which makes in almost impossible to pin us to 1 or 2 genres. It's fun watching people try though.

If people like what we do, that's good enough for me. It's the music that matters, not the label it goes under ;)

[Ichiyasha]

you know you sound pretty right to me in my case it's cool to know like I feel like I can understand genres vbetter and understand what kind of sound people go for you know? Cause like sometimes you can show someone a song you think is amazing and they're like this is shit but you don't get why. idk hopefully that makse sense haha.

This is really unique so it makes me have to think, but if there isn't one it doesn't matter. Whatever works I guess. :)

[TearsTakeOverMe]

beautiful........

[moshinggoth]

One of my favourite DSHS songs. Deffo going to see you in Bristol some day, maybe go drinking after or something.

Love the video, made me cry a bit, showing one life, one death. Just shows one person dies and one gets born. The circle of life.

Still Eds vocals are truely amazing, and changed so much from the EP.

xxxx

[ouaaah]

Hi Paul !

I would to know if "A Fragile Hope" is sold in France, I'm in the south and I can't find it.

Should I buy it on your website ?

You and your band rocks, I'm addicted with songs like "Some friend", very air !

keep it up like this, I wish you good luck for the next album :-)

[DSHSpaul]

'A Fragile Hope' has sold well in France, so it must be possible to get it in some shops, but yes, you can order all our music from our webstore - and it'll be me dealing with your order ;)

Not long to go until we record the new stuff, so I hope we don't let you down.

Paul
