[Destructerator]

"I may be a nerd, but I'm no pussy!"

[FoetalSpace]

Balding with long hair!

fucking badcunt \m/

[squidbeefedit]

Alien is one kickass album

[berserker213]

did anybody notice the really subtle bass drop at 1:04 ?

[Destructerator]

@berserker213 you mean around 1:10? still heavier than anything dubstep has ever done

[Cynnicio]

@Destructerator I took a shit earlier that is heavier than any dubstep.

Oh wait, dubstep is nothing but autotuned farts. Nevermind.

[squidbeefedit]

Anybody seen Shoot Em' Up?

[XFunkWizardX]

@squidbeefedit YES haha love the moment when this song comes on and the kid stops crying, \m/

[MindlessGlitch]

This wouldnt be real metal if it wasn't in 240p

[xXEPICSXx92x]

Best fucking bands of the 90s Strapping young lad, Pantera, Mr bungle, Faith no more, Primus. 

[ezek33lity]

This is not a song, this is a f*** drug

[AndyrpSmith]

@Sekiath even more metal than Toni Iommi?

[rodrigojoseunb]

@AndyrpSmith I think so.

[Oli4drums]

240p. Cutting edge in video quality...

[brokendeath18]

Brings back old memories, i used to listen to this band when i was 15 years old, now i'm almost 20 and i still love this song

[TheGeek1028]

I wanna get the SYL emblem tattooed on my back. So bad.

[losermonster]

@TheGeek1028 Get it branded on like a real man.

[TheGeek1028]

@losermonster ...fuck it, I think I'll just burn a giant SYL emblem into my back. Like a real man.

[MoonPisces029]

devin is kinda hot......mmmm

[Kurt0000007]

0:43 soo gay..

[vanambmatthias]

20 people are not ZEN. THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO VISIT YOGA CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mudfreek]

@vanambmatthias Ironically, I bet they listen to 'Ghost' when they go there

[TheRanonym]

They GODS, and DEMONS!

[glassprisoner417]

soooo what i'm looking at can technically be calle strapping young factory lol

[haloman720]

Century media. You should start posting videos with higher video and sound quality. It would be greatly appreciated by MANY MANY people.

[DJxOCEANx]

Did you think that I was kidding?!

[FishBulb1226]

2:15. Quitting my job to watch this full-time.

[mondiesle]

omg, this is terrible.

[Jarek30001]

2:00 is surely one of the most badass music video moments of all time.

[ZebIsSporadic]

My name is very almost Zen.

[jellehenk]

ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEN

[cooliovasquez]

both of the top comments are gay. i am disappoint

[dinkum93]

Ironic how the comment under the decrees, simply breaks them...

[dobbs123456789]

And he does it with boots... bloody boots....

[weevilboy]

devin is a superhero

[mozart0341]

cant wait for the new ziltoid

[AriasRequiem]

Little known fact.That is not double bass drums but is actually Gene's stomach rumbling.

[lastdayinsin3]

Hoglan and them triplets haha gotta love it.

[jp0005jp]

PUT A BETTER FUCKING QUALITY VIDEO OF ZEN ON YOUTUBE YOU FUCKING CENTURY MEDIA FUCKERSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[silirat]

SYL for the win.

FlamingMuffinz for the lose. Posting the Decrees without commenting on the video violates Decree IV.

[Sekiath]

I just want to say that Devin Townsend is, in my opinion, the most metal man on the planet.

[vavra222]

@Sekiath He is, about 2 years before, i thought that Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir was pretty awesome, but now.... he looks like pussy, chasing money and making shitty music, Dimmu will never be the same, sadly. But this band cheers me up everytime! :D They are still awesome even after those years, unlike many other bands.

[substatic10]

@Sekiath agree man , all those "metalheads" that don´t value dt's new music, don't know what metal is!

[macadoolahicky]

@Sekiath Opinion is worthless. What you just said, my friend, is a fact

[Spriteniz]

@Sekiath Well they did make Pickles in his image, I believe. (From Dethklok.) Honestly, I think I agree with you.

[orkymitt]

When A Job Needs Doing and the Throne Is Empty... It's Time To Call In Hoglan!

[HotRodSixString]

Man these guys should be as famous as Jimi or Pink Floyd . Where is the justice 

[vavra222]

@HotRodSixString Even that they are not so famous, they are still one of the best bands in metal world. Devin is fucking genius, partialy madman, but you know that these two are very similair.

[Theamazingrodent]

I haven't been able to stop listening to Devin Townsend or Strapping young lad for almost three days now. When I do, I start picking the skin of my face off.

[KageegeeDJ]

Any one who says Devin is Ugly can go fuck off

[Fry1077]

@KageegeeDJ dev is pretty fucking ugly though

[RustyBlade69]

@Fry1077 still gets more pussy than you lol

[TheLordFenris]

29 people got their ears stuck up to their own ass holes.

[vavra222]

@TheLordFenris Another little kid making stupid comments about dislikes, how original and clever.

[TheLordFenris]

@vavra222 sounds like you've got the same problem. idiot...

[xRIDExTHExSPIRALx]

I HATE THAT FUCKING HAIRDO!!!!!!

[Finaliity]

Does anyone feel the incredible rush from the riff at the beginning of the song? I know I do haha.

[kogo50]

Gene is the best drummer ever!

[Thraxxacor]

29 people couldn't handle it

[runthemachine]

Devin on Gladiator ~ "... am I not merciful?"

Awesome.

[WebCamCartmell]

29 people don't like Devin's sunglasses.

[belphegori]

gene is a fucking beast!!

[craveman58]

This piece is monumental in the SYL annals as it is the final comment for the Alien sessions, which were one of the more ambitious projects that the band took on...and ironically one of the quickest to finish. A very special album, it is.....

[XnagasadowX]

man. haha that's so awesome how he wears big ass boots when he plays.

[kaszpiboy]

I still can't cope with censorship. Why can't they show them swear and show their middle finger? Why not let everyone see things the way they are? Politically hipercorrect world of lies is what our reality is becoming...

[bappabuiebappabuie1]

ah youtube bitch fights are fun

[tylynneden123]

[DeadToFall92]

[napalmko]

27 people smoke sheeps testicles. (Crack cocaine style.)

[mordeth141]

Thats one hell'a badass  Drum kit... BIG BASS

[demonof90]

its impossible to play heel down that fast damit

[scarfacefan19]

[RustyBlade69]

[jusaca2]

[PRFCHEWY]

[gibbsies]

@PRFCHEWY wow, what a little faggot

[TheOrangeFondler]

@FlamingMuffinz Hey guys the dislike bar is the size of Justin Biebers penis LOL XD!!!

[Bassbait]

@FlamingMuffinz You ought to add "thou shalt not make stupid 'commandment' comments. EVER."

[T3hTroll]

@FlamingMuffinz Do you like pancakes?

[jhop5150]

@FlamingMuffinz Justin Bieber's dick has 29 dislikes; new topic of discussion is smooth jazz, and FUCK your decrees. Fuck the world, I will deny you. I think that just about breaks all your decrees. Did I leave anything out? METAL UP YOUR ASS.

[mecca6801]

@FlamingMuffinz and dont forget that thou shall be rewarded smite and bitch smacks for violating the rules!

[gargaj]

There's a perverse dichotomy in screaming the word "ZEN" over a wall of sound. What's not to like?

[ikt123]

@gargaj do you know any more walls of sound like this? I just can't find anything with the heavyness with the melody and everything that fits as perfectly as this song, pretty sure I'm up over 20,000 plays of this song :D

[gargaj]

@ikt123 Take a listen to "Deathbox" by Mnemic :)

[ikt123]

@gargaj Yeah I've got all their albums :D Quite a good band, I still think Zen is on a whole higher level though :(

[LessthanJake14]

@gargaj It's the same as saying "World Peace Declared!" over images of napalm bombings of Vietnam.

[COIVIIVI0DOR364]

Gene Hoglan is a motherfuckin' beast.

[sublime0nightmare]

i couldn't belive devin stopped taking his meds for his bipolar for his ispiration throughout this album, now that IS a true fucking artist, literally taking himself to the extremem while writing this album, no wonder why he's nick names the "mad scientist of metal" xD but a genius none the less

[XombieLejon66]

2:16

I didnt know Devin Townsend was secretly Raiden.

[devoured6by6humans6]

@XombieLejon66 hes not hes Scorpion... his music screams GET OVER HERE!!!!

[619Antonio619]

Devin Townsend is hot

[artigper1]

@619Antonio619 No, no he's not :S

[Glad1kun]

Devin TownZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEENd

XD

[byers420]

FUCKIN AWESOME

[bikerluke182]

Those are some manly boots to be drumming in. I think he must just like to punish himself after watching the Love (live) video and seeing him wear ankle weights!

[19drivenbyblood86]

@bikerluke182 I've seen them. They are the fuckin sickest boots you'll ever see, I swear rappers envy Gene's boots! I've talked to him after one of their shows and dude he is the most modest drummer. I was like, "Gene your ARE the best!" All he said was I don't know about that. LOL yeah right!

[snowconeville]

@19drivenbyblood86 Dr. Martens. FTMW

[TheHappyFaceBoxMan]

25 people kept looking at Devin.

[yngwie8]

Gene HoLgan u mean

[Glad1kun]

@yngwie8 Nope. Gene HoGlan

[Vampr3ach3r]

Gene Hoglan is the only drummer badass enough to carry a song with just kick and snare.

[Cboisen10]

Gene Fuckin Hoglan

[AlxMiNeR]

hahah it begin with a fkin nice thrash... devin is the king of originality

[wosko]

strappings more thrash then death but genre whoring is for deathcore fags

[iluvroknrol93]

who is on keyboard?

[Pandiemonium]

@iluvroknrol93 Studio magic. Strapping has always had Devin Townsend write their keys and perform them on their recorded albums, and had someone fill in to play keys live and tour with them. Their "Alien" album was fucking weird. Devin Townsend wrote the keys, Dave Young performed em on the album, and Will Campagna toured with em and played keys live for the Alien release tour. Will Campagna is the guy you see in the video with the short black hair; He's on myspace.

[Finaliity]

25 people that disliked this song/video need to be exiled from this world.

[mustasparta]

@Finaliity agreed. completely. haha

[devoured6by6humans6]

@Finaliity they disliked it cuz they are all fans of escape the fate and justin bieber

[vavra222]

@Finaliity Stop this shit already! It´s almost everywhere now!

[BucK42001]

@Finaliity You broke the second "underground metal decree"

[imnobody696]

@Finaliity by ziltoid the omniscient

[Linkgt]

Sad they aren't together anymore :(

[FormerlyMrBean667]

This song is godly and the video is so fucking ridiculous its good.

[wildwackyactionbike1]

this guy is pretty much........... a genius

[patrickd161]

just about 200,000

[scheibelhut38]

i dont know how they arent considered one of the best metal bands to ever exist

[mustaineisgod4sure]

@scheibelhut38 cause they have one of the most legendary drummers ever!

[Tylerbuttox27]

@scheibelhut38 Because they arent metal haha xD

I consider it speed progression death metal

[CyanideSovereign]

@Tylerbuttox27 Faliure in comminication.

[Tylerbuttox27]

@CyanideSovereign Whaaaa?

[CyanideSovereign]

@Tylerbuttox27

Read your comment agian!

" not 'METAL but speed progression death METAL"

[Tylerbuttox27]

@CyanideSovereign Yeah well you can consider "Metal" and "Death Metal" completely different like lets say System of a Sown is just "Metal" but Dethklok is "Death Metal" or ("Speed""Death Metal" ("Speed Death Metal")) / "Speed Progressive Death Metal" :D

[CyanideSovereign]

@Tylerbuttox27 Thats a strange way of classifying music.

[Tylerbuttox27]

@CyanideSovereign Yeah well i mean i have a point dont you agree lol :D?

[SjUbA92]

fuck those 25 that DOESN'T like this! This is soooo epic

[23Chedzoy]

i miss strapping young lad =[

they were an amazing band!!!

devin townsend is a god!!!

[mathieulebum]

GENE HOLGAN!

[A7Xwey]

[PopeWithDaScope]

Thumbs up if you came here from Shoot 'Em Up!

[lilstevieg2]

@PopeWithDaScope

[KirkHammett96]

[grahamzandah]

[englundisgod]

[grahamzandah]

@englundisgod Well whatever they are I dig em

[englundisgod]

[flextoneibanez]

Absomothafuckinlutley....

[21Bouncer]

if we were truly gods we would never die and have immense power, reality check

[DanielTNicolas]

@21Bouncer Please tell me you're not taking metal seriously!

[garrettisadrummer]

Hoglan is my god

[DrVoltage1]

@garrettisadrummer Me too. All Hail Hoglan

[boomstick900]

This is my idea of Zen. and Gene Hoglan is a Beast!

[MusicianPooper]

Sunglasses in the dark. Fuck yeah.

[jusaca2]

YES!!! we're the only ones

We're GODS AND DEMONS

Connect now and emerge

[Bulbulkatlani1]

This song reminds me more of like psychedelic-electronic music than metal. I think that these guys (Well, Devin...) created something in between. And it sounds awesome!

[Spermwhales93]

Rob Swire from Pendulum linked this on his twitter! lol

[Archadios]

He looks like those twins from the Matrix. Neat.

[Shinakumiatsu]

ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEN
