Abigail Williams - Smoke and Mirrors

[BALTHAZSAAR]

HAILSATAN!

[DarthAlgar08]

I am Christian and I adore the fuck out of this song.

[sgtzero1337]

this is one of my new favorite bands, thanks for the upload

[TheScrappehCocoa]

@NebirosAndWinter Being Christian doesn't mean you don't appreciate excellent music

[CharlieChinchillaTV]

@TheScrappehCocoa Being Christain and listening to this would be kind of pointless since the band is named after a girl from the salem witch trials and the lyrics are far from exceptable in the christain community. lol

[H2Zman]

I used to be turned off from this band because people called them "core" but now that I listen to them...they sound AWESOME. Can't wait to see them with black metal lords MAYHEM this december!

[WickedSteak]

Anyone who debates genres is clearly a poser.

[guitar7901]

@WickedSteak Theres actually 2 genres in metal, gay and not gay, an example of gay would be attack attack, and example of not gay would be opeth.

[WickedSteak]

@guitar7901 How educational. Thanks.

[guitar7901]

@WickedSteak No problem...gotta love metal 101

[Nufu7861]

@clownscare12 Who gives a fuck about what "genre" of music you consider this.

[Headbanger9000]

Why are u guys being a bunch of picky fags?? ITS ALL METAL!!! ENJOY IT!!!. I'm so sick of hearing "oh this isnt black metal, its death/ doom/ techno porno gorgrind deathcore chipmunk metal and i wont open myself to listen to it because im a close minded douchebag." This is a fucking awesome band, regardless of what style of metal they play and I'm honored to be opening for these guys in October!

[donnydarkos]

@clownscare12 this band is definately NOT black metal. it's more symphonic/tech black with core vox. vocals are somewhat in between your standard deathcore highs (probably more towards this side of the spectrum), and (dare i compare)Emperor Caligula's vocals. every time i listen to them, i force myself to hear the latter but sometimes reality gets the best of me :(

[eXiStToReSiStDeAtH]

@clownscare12 This album considered more of a symphonic black metal album so thats probably why you can notice all the influences but there newer album is much more black metal influenced but the other influences still break through

[freitasnetuno]

0:17-0:31 a draining sink sfx lol

[esoretal]

How is this related to Anamanaguchi? Hahaha

[GiugghyMManson]

I'm jizzing off.

[windriderrr]

Reminds me of a more melodic Dark Tranquillity. Which is a good thing.

[Robotscantfuq]

Black Metal straight from fuckin Arizona.

[Daftanimation]

I don't see why people hate on Abigail? They're a great band! Better than all that nu metal shit . .

[pancake73528]

@Daftanimation so System of A Down is shit? oh.. last time i checked they were FUCKING AMAZING. <- just sayin.

[Daftanimation]

@pancake73528

No, I like system of a down. I mean that half talking half screaming shit. System of a down isn't nu metal, it is metal X3

[amrocthegreat]

@pancake73528 lulz

[jk47hm4]

Blackened Deathcore?

[deathcoresucks1]

@jk47hm4 hate to say it but your right

[xxxskat34lifexxx]

@jk47hm4 or just black metal?

[jk47hm4]

@xxxskat34lifexxx This isn't what I and many other Black Metal fans would consider 'just' Black Metal, at all. Mayhem, Ragnarok, Dark Funeral, Gorgoroth, bands like those are just Black Metal, and they all kick way more ass than these guys!

[xxxskat34lifexxx]

@jk47hm4 ok? but just cause these guys dont soudn just like them doesnt make them not black metal. i mean really where is this "core" influence i hear none

[jk47hm4]

@xxxskat34lifexxx The core influence is the intro breakdown and the other ones throughout the song, plus the general Suicide Silence vibe that the guitar's tone gives. But yea, these guys arn't black metal anyway. They just don't produce the material that makes a Black Metal song, that being anti-christ/gory/evil lyrics, really fast blast-beating drums throughout the song, and fast tremelo-picked riffs. 4:00 is what I'm talking about. Don't get me wrong though, these guys (and girl) are chill.

[420ibanezz]

@jk47hm4 suicide silence is wack mayne

[jk47hm4]

@420ibanezz Suicide Silence are eh, but they created a great sound, or what most people call 'vibe'. Listen to a band called 'Rings of Saturn' Their vocals and guitars sound like Suicide Silence, but they are completely different from them!

[420ibanezz]

@jk47hm4 its all good bro i dont mean to hate i just dont care for bands that are that chaotic and open palm mute thru half the song lol just my preferance watever floats yo boat is cool. and they didnt really create anything people having been using the same guitar and drum tones forever its about the way the music fits together for me, i enjoy riffage thats all.

[HeavyMusicGuy16]

@jk47hm4 Rings of saturn annoy me. They're tech, but so tech to the point where it just sounds retarded, like braindrill.

[jk47hm4]

@HeavyMusicGuy16 I dig it, but Braindrill is just sloppy. I hate them.

[HeavyMusicGuy16]

@jk47hm4 Yeah, Idk rings of saturn could be so much better though.

[jk47hm4]

@HeavyMusicGuy16 I agree. They could do more with what they have.. I would suggest more 'regular' riffs and not as much alien static xD Maybe a few clean parts would do some justice too.

[HeavyMusicGuy16]

@jk47hm4 Yeah their guitarists have plenty of talent that's for sure. They're capable of being an amazing fucking band with the sound they're trying to go for.

[BringerOfTruth123]

@jk47hm4 That isn't even a "core" breakdown. The chugging intro is similar to many scandinavian bands. Dimmu Borgir had a lot of it on Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. I highly doubt that Dimmu was influenced by deathcore. Arch Enemy, Kalmah, old Children of Bodom all have moments of open chugging in their songs. That doesn't make them "core" in any way. I own this Abigail album. This song and one other part of the album are the only two remote similarities to having "breakdowns."

[jk47hm4]

@BringerOfTruth123 Breakdown or not, this song did a good job convincing me that this band is not black metal.

[BringerOfTruth123]

@jk47hm4 We could argue genres all day. Abigail Williams is completely trend-free and they make amazing music.

[jk47hm4]

@BringerOfTruth123 I personally think there are way better bands out there but I still dig em.

[420ibanezz]

@jk47hm4 no black metal. "core" means chugachugachuga open palm mute

[xBlackWaterxx]

@jk47hm4 dude srsly

[jk47hm4]

@xBlackWaterxx I no longer have faith in the next generation's music.

[aDudeNamedIan]

smooth jazz at its finest

[applebutterbaby42]

The singer adds a lot to this band.

[BrootalJuggalo]

@applebutterbaby42 yeah, like the words.

[VHTLtdDimarzio]

Lmfao... this shit is classic. The comments that is.

[NebirosAndWinter]

And exactly what is wrong with being gay?

[helloasswipes]

@NebirosAndWinter dude that's disgusting man. If your gay, please keep your buisness behind closed doors.

[NebirosAndWinter]

@helloasswipes disgusting? what are you christian? lol

[helloasswipes]

@NebirosAndWinter dude so plunging your dick into another man's ass is not disgusting? what are you gay? LULZ dude if your gay thats fine and your problem.

[barret2378]

@NebirosAndWinter lol, im a christian and i enjoy these guys haha. what does your beliefs have anything to do with it?

[CelticDarkFFortress2]

Limbonic Art, Emperor, and Dimmu destroy this band, but this bad isnt bad

[helloasswipes]

OH NO BLACKCORE?!! what the FUCK have you damn scene kids done to black metal?! shit even Dimmu Borgir has a darker Norwegian Symphonic Black Metal Sound than this pile of heaping shit! The guitar has that whole Pitch Shift all deathcore songs have! EX at 1:13! Shit all the members in this band are posers! they all wear Suicide Silence shirts! This proves that just by having Christophe Szpajdel do your logo, doesn't mean your Black Metal.

[Pandiemonium]

@helloasswipes Pitch shift? I think you mean to say PINCH HARMONIC, which is a STYLE OF PICKING producing a NATURAL HARMONIC, NO EFFECTS. EVH USED PINCHES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH ASSHOLE.

If you're gonna talk shit, talk all the shit you want, but make sure you actually have a fucking clue what you're talking about. Chill in your little elitist circle pretending you're better than everyone else for listening to music that never got popular for a reason, but that still leaves you a complete dickwad.

[helloasswipes]

@Pandiemonium funny thing your a scene kid hipster with a Justin beiber helmet haircut. No real black metal fan likes this shit. Thanks for proving that theory. Faggot

[ViolatedPenguin]

@helloasswipes why so butthurt?

[helloasswipes]

@ViolatedPenguin why so gay?

[ViolatedPenguin]

@helloasswipes LOL u mad.

[Pinchfuzz]

@ViolatedPenguin

Helloasswipes has some serious amount of sand in his vag

It's really making him cranky

[helloasswipes]

@Pinchfuzz you have some serious amount of Dick in your ass.

It's making you cranky

[helloasswipes]

@Pinchfuzz

I can see all that cock is still up in there.

your ass still enjoys the cock...

Get more niggers to fuck your ass.

[helloasswipes]

@Pinchfuzz Oh now i see

You love black dick in that ass but they kept on going cause it was tight

Get a cock and stretch it out.

You'll have so much more black cock in/on you.

Just because they are not pounding the shit out of that ol' ass doesn't mean you gotta become a butthurt fag begging for cock.

[helloasswipes]

@Pinchfuzz

very unoriginal...indeed

I hope you find a man who loves your asshole

[helloasswipes]

@Pinchfuzz so you just admitted you love gay fantasies you sick fuck! AHH HA! I take that as a confession you Faggot! HEY EVERYONE PINCHFUZZ JUST OPENLY ADMITTED HE IS GAY! AND YOUR ALL MY WITNESSES. READ HIS LAST COMMENT!

[helloasswipes]

@Pinchfuzz you finally noticed I was copying and pasting your comments?

[helloasswipes]

@Pinchfuzz that's your problem if your done. Anyways trolling is hella funny to do. And there's nothing wrong with nazi's. Shit they almost took over Europe and they became historical icons.

[DJgoreslam]

@Pinchfuzz helloasswipes got you there. What a flammin Faggot.

[DJgoreslam]

@Pinchfuzz first of dude. I was looking for this vid. 2nd I found your comment funny and gay ass fuck. 3rd helloasswipes has just been trolling your dumbass. I read both of your comments and he was just mimicking you. Dipshit

[DJgoreslam]

@Pinchfuzz yeah you said that after the 7th comment. Anyways who ended up looking like a butthurt asshole on the defensive side? Hahaha bro, you mad.

[helloasswipes]

@ViolatedPenguin LULZ u gay

[ViolatedPenguin]

@helloasswipes LOL you're really annoyed lmao.

[helloasswipes]

@ViolatedPenguin LULZ you're really gay lmao.

[ViolatedPenguin]

@helloasswipes LOL did i make u cry? lawlz, ur mega butthurt.

[helloasswipes]

@ViolatedPenguin LULZ you still talkin? MEGA LULZ! Move on to the next forum, no one here is butthurt, pissed, or annoyed at your piss poor comments. Hahahahahahahah LULZ to the infinite power!

[ViolatedPenguin]

@helloasswipes now, now, calm down. i understand you're butthurt but theres no reason to rage over youtube. luls.

[helloasswipes]

@ViolatedPenguin yo I ain't even mad. lulz XD

[ViolatedPenguin]

@helloasswipes LOLOL umadbro. y u mad bro?

[helloasswipes]

@ViolatedPenguin lulz, man your a wack attack.

[ViolatedPenguin]

@helloasswipes LOLQUE wackattack. lololololol.

[zarucarsha]

@helloasswipes I like you, you're funny. And about the whole "pitch shift" or "pitch harmonic" thing, I'm pretty sure Immortal and other black metal bands have used that technique, so you're wrong to proclaim that it's only used in show-off deathcore.

[helloasswipes]

@zarucarsha oh yeah Inquisition, Immortal, Carpathian Forest all have used a pitch harmonic here and there but Deathcore kids rape it and abuse it. pinch harmonics are like salt. A small amount of salt makes food taste good and gives it a kick, but once you open the container and add the entire vial of salt. the food will taste like shit. That's deathcore kids, they pour too many breakdowns and annoying sweeps when theres more to metal than that.

[Bitchflakes666]

@Pandiemonium a pinch harmonic is actually and artificial harmonic so when you know your shit you can argue with this guy.

[everymeandeveryou]

fuck yeah , i have been to trying to think of the name of this band for so long , then outta the blue it came to me , havent heard them in a long while , keep it fuckin brutal motherfuckers

[slayyer000]

this band dominated live along with Vader and Immolation!!

[Zernabog]

@slayyer000 DUUUUDE!! Im seein them all tomorrow!! you just gave me a great feeling! lol

[slayyer000]

@Zernabog you will LOVE them, trust me.

[faferlou]

C'est pas mal bon. Que dire de plus... Ben c'est ça.

[AC1Emo]

I just think it's pretty fucking hardcore they found shade under a thousand suns xD

[PATRICKoxoEthafulm]

@AC1Emo well said ha

[neononmyknees]

they pretty much just jizzed on shitty hardcore bands...

[Itzie4798]

Is this suppose to be one of Demi Lovato's favorite band? o_______O

[xxDarkxAngelxx65]

@Itzie4798 Where did you hear that? I wanna see where you got that, an interview or what? haha. if its true then demi lovato gains alot of respect from me ^^

[Itzie4798]

@xxDarkxAngelxx65 I heard a lot of people say it. I dont know if its true or not I think it is though. ^_^

[MetalHeadFilipeG96]

@xxDarkxAngelxx65

i did some research and i catually found an interview where Demi lovato admitted she likes metal

[MoonUnitLatina]

@MetalHeadFilipeG96 Yeah she said it in a Rolling Stone interview, maybe she said it somewhere else, I am not sure.

[MAG101PS3]

@xxDarkxAngelxx65 Stfu-_- Everyone knows you have "special time" with pictures of demi lavato and Selena Gomez-_-

[666Marduk999]

Wow this is almost like black metal, but without atmosphere, consistency and originality!!! and look it works!!! because you buy into this fucking garbage because you fucking assholes don't know good from bad, you just like it because it reminds you of something else!

[thedumbshit13]

darkthrone sucks and saytricon is better

[NebirosAndWinter]

@thedumbshit13 HEY HEY HEY! None of this "darkthrone sucks" shit in here. At least they haven't become what Satyricon has. Frost's side projects stays pretty true to it though. Procs for that.

[TheHeavyMetald00d]

I'm kinda oing off on an acidental trippp on m mesds right now, and this makes me feel like ghost.

[bladesofosiris999]

death core inhanced with black metal fuck yeah!!!!!! XD

[IZ1R7]

This song F'ing rocks !!!!!

[Rumbler592]

Fail at naming the song in ur video faggot

[Awesomeriffic1995]

@kr3wskater511 a famous black metal band (in my opinion sucks)

[lorenzoone1]

I like this!!!

[kmfdm5]

a little metalcorish for my taste

[JDDiizzle]

Smoke and Mirrors* not Smoke or Mirrors...

[BrittonShrum]

the world needs more bands that are THIS bad ass

[darkmessiahnz]

Hey copying is the reason why genres exist. If noone copied there would only ever be one metal band.

[TheLitafan1]

this is demi lvoato favorite band

[GuidoMetallo]

stupid yanks copying dimmu borgir, who now suck. wheres the originality, the only bm thing about this is the vocals

[Maddlord4]

Demi lovatos favorite band!!!!!!!

[cinnawaffls]

@Maddlord4 The reason that I have the utmost respect for her.

[Maddlord4]

@cinnawaffls yeah dude

[xXxRat3dxXx1]

@Maddlord4 first of all .. this is FAR beyond demi lovato's noice...

[Daftanimation]

@Maddlord4

Great! Now if only she wasn't a pop singing, Disney whore! ^.^

[IchtChord]

This is not black metal, just deathcore with keyboards. And it's terrible.

[abraham8701]

It amuses me how in every page theres always some type of argument in genres, people gotta chill and understand that this is music and not a food to be labeled on.

[fetuscockslap1337]

@abraham8701 that is true, but if it's not at least vaguely explained what genre they are, anybody will listen to them. and we don't want haterz like IchtChord trolling all our favourite metal videos, do we?

[abraham8701]

@fetuscockslap1337 yeah thats true man, i think its better to not have sub genres and just call music like this just metal or something. in which mainstream people still wouldnt to

[tenneylt]

I LOVE mp3iffy it WORKS just google mp3iffy.

[gazo1]

really nice band, but the vox are shitty.

[VinceVonVicious]

Why does metalcore need to infect every other genre of metal? This sure as hell sucks dick compared to real black metal. Listen to Mayhem or Desaster instead.

[braydenbigweener]

@VinceVonVicious wait. you think mayhem was good? k. they suck. but they are legends still. and without them. bands like this or dimmu borgir wouldnt exist

[6I6Cum6Blood]

@braydenbigweener

If you think mayhem suck..you dont understand the point...

[75gas]

@VinceVonVicious

Excuse me sir, can you go have down syndrome somewhere else? We're trying to enjoy the music.

[robertj111]

black metal has nothing on this!! this shit is tight!!

[iloveOJmorethanyouuh]

This is my first time ever hearing Abigail Williams and I would have to say....I alrdy Love it. :)

[Pliinck]

Her name is Abigail Williams or Ashley Ellyllon?

[BlackDragonX07]

why does it matter what you decide to fuckin call it?! it is what it is, just leave it...

[KxK96]

why dont you all shut the fuck up n stop comparing this awesome band with Dimmu Borgir -.- , stop labeling em , its stupid just enoy the music :)

[Pakanahymni]

Lol, blackcore.

[fpsliams]

why is every one saying there blackcore or some shit like that... its just black metal made by people who aren't 40 and aren't wearing corpse paint....

[Pakanahymni]

@fpsliams

Obviously you have never heard black metal in your life, because this band sure as hell isn't black metal.

[fpsliams]

@Pakanahymni i know what black metal is fuck head. how is it not black metal?

[Pakanahymni]

@fpsliams

If you can't tell that it's not black metal by just listening to it you should jump off a ledge.

[NostaligicBlackFrost]

@Pakanahymni they are concidered symphomic black metal...but they don't know enough about black metal to do it properly...lol

[ArchNemesis767]

@Pakanahymni Yes it is Black metal, its called "New wave symphonic Black Metal" just because it isnt all horribly sloppy tremelo picked power chords with a vocalist that sounds like hes choking on sand paper, and a drummer that cant keep his blast beats in time for more than 4 measures, doesn't mean its not black metal....thats the difference between first wave, and new wave...OBVIOUSLY you have never heard of Black Metal in your life...

[Pakanahymni]

@ArchNemesis767

Hahaha black metal is not supposed to be technical or polished sounding. I take it that you have never heard any REAL black metal in your life (i.e. Darkthrone, Mayhem, early Gorgoroth). If you don't like any of those you simply are not a black metal fan.

[ArchNemesis767]

@Pakanahymni Oh I'm not saying that those bands aren't Black Metal, I'm just saying that they sound horrible on CD, and i know it's not supposed to be good production, but just what they record is sloppy as fuck, and just the standards they meet shouldn't even have been set for their goals, because anyone who aims to sound that horrible on a CD needs to rethink their views LMAO. Plus i like Darkthrone and Mayhem. I'm speaking of worse bands. Like Sargeist..i dunno how to spell it lol.

[InsaneClownBitch]

They sound like a pain in the ass. Epic goes Core. Or Ass goes Crap.

[SuperSmashbros111]

Scary, but EPIC!

[ImplementDestruction]

A piece of shit band

[TheBreakdownGuy]

[apocwem]
