1. Annihilation

[creativewriter1000]

Those living for death will die by their own hand

wow, some powerful lyrics

[JLM13579]

I feel like he chose to whisper because the wisdom is so intensely radical and brilliant, if he actually sang.... who knows what the fuck would happen

[enigma24tool4you]

@JLM13579  I agree he wants the listener to focus on the message and lyrics.. solid point

[Onizuma13]

Oddly enough this reminds me of a dark Christmas song.

[creativewriter1000]

@Onizuma13

yeah, with the bells

[IstillOwnAvcr]

There are alot of covers on this album. I wish it were more of their original stuff. Thirthenth Step was an incredible album. This is good, but it just doesn't have the same

[bigjoe777]

chuck norris can sing this without saying anything.

[vecust]

The music sounds like ancient tamil songs!

[TheSparrowsRevenge]

very haunting, but i love it!!

[1y9b9b]

the lyrics look like half a christmas tree..

i mean pine tree

[matttharipper]

@1y9b9b lmao

[flyboy3306]

HOLY SHIT!!! I came across this and almost orgasmed.....this shit is AWESOME. "IT'S YOUR CHOICE!"

[6G9S06]

FUCK illuminati ho and perfect circle he are real ! :O Life's no ordeal if you come to terms,

Reject the system dictating the norms wow....

[jesus0christ1]

@6G9S06 Actually Crucifix are real cause They wrote the original song and maynards just covering it

[TheyCallMeMoney420]

"those living for death will die by their own hand" we cant handle mutliple wars america! we are killing ourselves

[HumanBeing1875]

the only song i can sing right

[tulpoy]

ya know, with current technology we can store good songs forever. this sounds really nice. you dont have to do anymore tho.

[gamexrebelXD]

can you imagine how hard it'd be to sing this live?

[DarthFett1991]

When I have kids I'm gonna use this song to lullaby them to sleep.

[academicroach]

I woke up today and i can not shake it off.

one of days when i just want every war bringing country to die out.

[OperationBiohazard]

everytime i try and whisper sing along with this i always run out of air.... he has boss lung capacity

[stuffandthings1221]

i feel like i should be playng resident evil or some sort of crazy ass video game. AH.

[TEpps91]

Too bad this album doesn't compare to Mer De Nom and 12 Steps

[MrAtephobia]

@TEpps91 Too bad this album is actually relevant, and it's thirteenth step, not 12 steps, you fucking alcoholic.

[82816a1]

Reject the system dictating the norms

From dehumanization to arms production,

To hasten the nation towards its destruction

[ToadsMGodes]

@82816a1 you can repeat the lyrics... well done.

[Ravendbleader]

I'm gonna spam the lyrics on Justin bieber videos! xD maybe... I don't wanna waste time, but I don't wanna waste lives...

[TheNeokiller666]

i prefer this version of the original

[DasKeqqks]

Reminds me on A Nightmare on Elm Street <3

[r33c3100]

how does he sing with a whisper :|.....amazing

[BahigPimpin]

@r33c3100 Because he is GOD lol

[colonelsanta]

@r33c3100 By whispering? What's so amazing about him whisper singing? The Ying Yang twins have the Whisper song, so if they can do it, maynard can.

[thaeastcoastbear]

@colonelsanta But the Ying Yang twins dont sound like sex when they whisper.

[shroomman656]

@colonelsanta your a fucking idiot. lol.

[ToadsMGodes]

@r33c3100 whispering lyrics into a microphone isn't supernatural.. Its awesome because its Maynard

[jesus0christ1]

@ToadsMGodes And Crucifix cause they wrote the song

[PerfectShits]

@r33c3100 It's called WHISPERING.

This is actually a cover of a song by Crucifix. I like the original a lot better.

Crucifix wrote the song, so they should get credit for the lyrics.

[MyRestless]

this album its full of covers, only passive and counting bodies like sheep to the rythm of the war drums are from a p c

[codi2325]

@MyRestless I wouldent call these covers >_> Liste nto the orginals...they sound NOTHING alike...I eman really..look it up...i dont know how they could call it a cover

[amberlynnxo19]

This is one bad ass cover song.

[ToadsMGodes]

@amberlynnxo19 cover of who?

[DrCornFlakes]

So....eerie.. I love it

[blobber921]

die by there own hand dahm..........

[rock9587]

just a perfect song... <3

[SuperMegaCyrus]

I prefer annihilation. Fuck peace

[Degaria]

@SuperMegaCyrus How weak.

[enigma24tool4you]

@Degaria your stupid if you are being serious

[cpdd13]

It's and album of mostly cover songs, but some people would have never heard this without APC covering it.

[CaptainDaphy]

The only good troll is a dead troll.

[nejiten432]

that some pretty powerful stuff

[laurenfiya]

this song gives me goosebumps

[NelsonRodriguezFTW]

A perfect circle sucks they ruined one of my favorite songs I hope everyone that listens to this muscle rock bullshit grows the fuck up cause theres no significance in your taste of music if this is the kind of shit you listen to and whoever think crucifix is shit can go fuck them selves

[chuganoz]

@NelsonRodriguezFTW U mad bro?

[kirre1234]

@NelsonRodriguezFTW you seem upset, brah.

[ArmenianSnipe13]

@NelsonRodriguezFTW Crucifix is shit. APC's cover is better, and more popular. Y uMad bro? uJelly?

[pantscheese]

@NelsonRodriguezFTW Umad?

[L4WL0RZ]

@NelsonRodriguezFTW lol he mad

[Theonewiththebighair]

@NelsonRodriguezFTW Lawl, lemme guess you´re a 12 year old wannabe Metalhead who has to boost his self esteem by attacking other people?

[killerbumble]

@NelsonRodriguezFTW lol Trolls be Trollin'

[spilot14]

@NelsonRodriguezFTW u mad bro?

[GuruJackLlamaRomeo]

@NelsonRodriguezFTW You mad broski?

[champ2040]

Did xiilon really say APC needs to introduce some balls into their songs. I resent that on Tool and APC's behalf

[NicGofficial]

who was the original artist for this one?

[Stinkfist43]

@NicGofficial Crucifix.

[Devin349]

yeah it changes one thing i know who one of thoughs dumbasses is. :) that person is obviously "Shajhirah"

[xiilon]

Really? This band could actually be good if it decided to introduce some balls to the songs it has.

[xiilon]

@foxet1st I mean something that gives it balls as in something to get your blood burning, like FFDP or something, That mixed with this, would be godly. As it is, the song is pretty boring and needs something to pick it up. I personally hate screamo bullshit, but heavy metal is god.

[streettitanz]

@xiilon APC with balls already exists infact it's been around longer than APC, it's called Tool.

[xiilon]

@streettitanz I'll forgive that terrible terrible comparison of Tool to APC.

Tool is an entirely different genre and weight class then APC.

[streettitanz]

@xiilon Here me out for a second. Tool- amazing drummer, sweeping and infectious Bass, unconventional and complex guitar, vocals ranging from angelic to harmonic growling. APC-amazing drummer, understated bass, understated but still great and catchy guitar, vocals ranging from angelic to growling. The difference between the two is primarily the balls particular components and creativity Since day one a lot of Tool fans like myself have been calling APC diet-Tool Tool-lite or femme-Tool

[masterdad123]

hi rob!!!!

love flyingjuden

[Devin349]

who are the 23 dumbasses that clicked dislike?

[Shajhiirah]

@Devin349

There. I clicked it. I still like the song. See? It changes nothing.

WIN

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[alekaro111]

This one will forever be etched into my brain. O_O I love it. His voice is amazing. 

[Hakate666]

this says if all man everything I think. right here

[champ2040]

A bit freaky but seems like a logical message. One that should probably be heeded by all humankind immediately

[bodiza420]

If we don't end war, war will end us. -H. G. Wells

[OurEndisNigh]

Oddly enough this song makes me think of the Hunger Games book series...

[vinillanut]

my friend remebers this whole song

[Potato25Chip]

^_^

[losrobotsnolloran]

am i the only one who actually knows this is a cover song? you guys are talking about it like it was maynard's lyrics

[Rosehawka]

@losrobotsnolloran who sang it originally?



[losrobotsnolloran]

@Rosehawka Crucifix, an early 80s american hardcore punk band

[Rosehawka]

@losrobotsnolloran i see, thanks. i prefer this version

[losrobotsnolloran]

@foxet1st of course it is.... GOOD SHIT that actually meant something for the youth 20 something years back, not neo hippie stuff like this, taking something simple and complicating it... like the meaning of a word, thats what this maynard guy does, and people actually buy it? i just can't believe it.

[pheonex]

@losrobotsnolloran he's an amazing singer and he can and does make a lot of his own lyrics in a few bands in fact. Including puscifer, Tool and APC

[faithlessbelievers]

@losrobotsnolloran Really? Who origionally sings it?

[losrobotsnolloran]

@faithlessbelievers Crucifix, an early 80s american hardcore punk band

[losrobotsnolloran]

@faithlessbelievers in fact, that's how i got here

[faithlessbelievers]

@losrobotsnolloran Oh cool, I'll check it out! Are they good?

[losrobotsnolloran]

@faithlessbelievers awesome, like early GBH, asian fronted, frisco based

[losrobotsnolloran]

@faithlessbelievers search for this on youtube: Crucifix - Dehumanization - annihilation - 1983 hardcore punk

[faithlessbelievers]

@losrobotsnolloran Hmm. Interesting. A little hard to hear and understand, but not bad either. Thanks for suggesting it!

[MrBenlb1]

@faithlessbelievers Hit the show more... all the lyrics are right there

[faithlessbelievers]

@MrBenlb1 Ah,...... thanks!

[Hanpantheflyingman8D]

[deondurr94]

[qqtt991]

"Those living for death will die by their own hand."

My favorite quote in this. Wow.

[pelotonrm]

APC opened Pittsburgh concert with Annihilation - absolutely magical.

[cemckenna721]

[escapist11]

@pelotonrm ...I'm pretty sure they're opening all their concerts with Annihilation. They surely did when I saw them. It's awesomeeeeee!

[TheSpiralingOutsider]

@pelotonrm I was in Pittsburg the day before and was told about it that very day..was so pissed!

[65Berry]

[markzy14]

I hope I die to this song, it would be awesome to draw my last breath while this song plays.

[MuMeasels]

[gazbostuart]

@MuMeasels Look up the word "subjective".

[muddcnt]

@MuMeasels when anyone starts to give a shit im sure that you will be the first to get a hand full.

[defconmissilesystem]

[walruswaspaul123]

[petrirantanen72]

Crucifix cover. Check out their dehumanization album. One of the greatest punk albums of all time.

[chibixaileen]

This is my fucking lullaby.

[sickdiebitch]

From dehumanization to arms production,for the benefit of the nation or its destruction? <3 APC,mjk

[ronetqsm]

Songs like this contain the lessons I will teach my children.

[madeasjo]

[dawnofdays2012]

@madeasjo play that on your ipod when you go to sleep. i garantee you by the time you wake it will have 290 plays.

[madeasjo]

[TheTako400]

"Life's no ordeal if you come to terms..."

[Harry4Hermione4Harry]

@ArmenianSnipe13 Hahaha, yeah, I know, I bought it off of iTunes last night, and I've had it playing on repeat all night--it must be some kind of record for a song on your iPod to go from 0 plays to 223 in one day....XD It doesn't hurt that their coverart is freaking AWESOME...

[Harry4Hermione4Harry]

wow i dont usually go for this kind of stuff in music--like poetry set to accompaniment....but this song is strangely captivating. i like it......

[ArmenianSnipe13]

@Harry4Hermione4Harry Yeah... this song is pretty addicting... just look at me, I've been listening to it for 2 days.

[Blackbudproduction]

has it occured to any of you this this may be just a song...? Does it have to be about the Nazis or whatever you people are talking about?

[ArmenianSnipe13]

@Blackbudproduction If Maynard is singing, it's much more than just a song. It's pure genius and a completely new way of thinking, in the form of music.

[Blackbudproduction]

@ArmenianSnipe13 what a great way of putting it OwO.. never thought of it like that, thanks

[ArmenianSnipe13]

@Blackbudproduction :D

[hellboundgod]

why does every one talk about the nazis on here i agree with some of their beliefs but i get sick of hearing people talk about them all the time

[GreenGhost81]
