From Autumn To Ashes - "Pioneers" [Official Video]

[lokus1017]

needs more view

[xapathydollx]

what i think ( could be wrong)

its based on shirley jackson's "the lottery" about a small town which hosts a lottery each year in which a sacrifice is chosen at randomt to appease whoever and ensure good harvests for the next year.

Although "the lottery" is based around June 27th not March 3rd. Im assuming its a sacrifice to ensure productivity levels at the factory stay well through the next year...

Just a guess.

[0Blueninja0]

@xapathydollx not a bad idea i should do that when i open up a factory >:}*evil laugh*

[xapathydollx]

amazing song.. but yeah its given me nightmares since i was 13 =/

[Rhade]

A lot of the things changed in the emo music scene. miss the old skool time when i was teenager.

[ilovebirdflu]

0:49 "Paging Dr Faggot..."

[Palffy3314]

I miss these guys. Still haven't heard a band that sounds like them.

[D1sturb1a]

From Autumn to Ashes is the singled greatest hardcore band before being a hardcore band was even fucking cool. This is probably the best hardcore song ever made, and sets the bar for all other bands, and they don't fucking touch it.

[Dexistomors]

I'd have just called in sick.

[Xionei]

"And those who resisted were dragged out from their homes, this necklace was fashioned out of their teeth and bones"

Hell yeah, fucking great line.

[stoopiddub333]

creepy video

[DisneyxFan1]

man, i dont even like this kinda music but.. this song is AWUSUME

[Adamzbeplayingbass]

Drummer screamer? Awesome!

[wolframxwolfrick]

i just dont get this at all...

[ahhhitssean]

@wolframxwolfrick you don't have to get it. if you like it you listen to it, if you don't you shut it off. i like it so i listen to it..

[wolframxwolfrick]

@ahhhitssean no, i love the music..it's super awesome....what i'm pertaining to is the video...

[MrMegademonio]

HOOOOOO MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FUUUUUUUUCKKKIIIIIINNNGGGG GOOOODDD

[RaptorSythe]

i dont get whats happening in the video. can someone please explain whats going on. i know she is going to die but can some explain why.

[JayFFAFAlesanaES]

Why is number 19 the number of death? Is it just because the story was written in the 19 hundreds?

[HxCxDxE]

<_< ive been listening to this song atlest 5-10 times a day for the last week! STILL GOOOD!!!!!!

[raikou6]

@HxCxDxE I've been listening to this song since I was in 7th grade. Im a senior in high school and I still think its a good song :D

[HxCxDxE]

@raikou6

Yea ive had holding a wolf by the ears album since i was a young teen wasn't to impressed with it so just put it back into the collection im now almost 22 and only just found this song AWESOME!!!!!!! only real song i like from that album

[melowa1]

@raikou6 same here except im was in 8th grade and im a freshman in college! I miss them so bad! they are part of my days as a real teenager...im 19 lol

[BeyondTheStars1000]

Sois increíbles!! Me gustan mucho vuestras canciones!!!

[stephen162001]

I got to meet, chat and hang with the man himself (Fran Mark) before and after a Tidal Arms show!!! One of the greatest highlights of my life thus far!!

[Youreall1096]

FATA needs to get back together. I think if each member of FATA knew how good they were as a whole, they would never have broken up. Biology, awesome, but not as good. Warship, meh. I like a few songs. Tidal, good in a different way i guess. FROM AUTUMN TO ASHES... words fail me.

[rjport]

Talking with Tourbus driver for Enter Shikari after a show the other day and he said someone from FATA was there and talking to him, apparently they're writing again? I'd like to believe that was true |:

[stephmysweety]

we had to watch this video in my sophmore english class and i am having terrible nightmares now!

[solicanthia]

is this loosely based on the "young Pioneers" of once Soviet Russia? the industrial theme...the ultimate sacrifice for one's "factory" ?? Kinda disturbing, but then again, look at all the shit that goes on today...ugh ...good song either case.

[david198728]

forget what you thought you believed in!

[ILLEBMX]

@sabu85 the drummer is not singing he is screaming there is a big difference NO DISRESPECT intended

[rakeria]

@ILLEBMX Not really, screaming comes from you taking a tone and then adding power and grit to it. Basically, screaming is yelling onto pitch wether it's loud or not. Usually screaming like the drummers doing, isn't THAT loud in reality. :)

[sabu85]

the drummer sings better than the lead vocalist XD

[MrJustinification]

@sabu85 they're the same person... Francis Mark

[sabu85]

@MrJustinification  LOL

[cianinthesack]

Right, I read the short story and this still doesn't make sense.

Sure enough, in both stories they kill who over "wins" the lottery, we can all see that.

Why though? That's what I want to know.

It's not explained anywhere and even if this is the point, it's still rubbish.

[Poppyfland]

the thing i dont get in this video is why do they like play bingo and who ever has that number gets a drill through the head????

[rcheddddahhhh]

this is from that short story that we read in high school. "the lottery"

[nowupdate]

i would call the video CAPITALISM SUCKS!

[helloz99]

dam i miss these kinda bands....

[rcheddddahhhh]

@helloz99 i know what you mean, it's so hard to find a band that screams in good ratio like FATA or ADTR or silverstein. It's sooooooo overdone these days

[Divenire23]

She Should Have Called Out And Played The Lottery Instead That Day.

[KillingKittens2012]

i jizzed in my pants when i seen the drummer screaming. then my dick completely lost confidence in itself. and it became a fan of this band

[BloodyAllLover]

@KillingKittens2012 So you are saying that the fans of this band are dicks?

I can see it...

and i agree with you...

You are a dick.

[PopAnEPill]

I dont understand this music video at all

[weihoozie]

@PopAnEPill

Google "The Lottery".

[oogabooga341]

@weihoozie You mean the one where they stone the person instead of drill a hole in their head, right?

[P3Gaming]

This fucking economy...

[meankhan]

Do us a favor FATA!!! Reunion, retribution... Please get back together...

[MusicUpInYa]

I WOULD have called in sick, because I am not illiterate.

[nitefireoo]

would someone please explain to me what this video had to do with Pioneers?

[ThomasKellar]

Fuckin epic. This song really takes me back. That makes me sound old lol thanks to this song, i have gotten into the "screamo" genre and heavy metal. I used to HATE that stuff. Now i am listening to Suicide Silence, Asking Alexandria, and whatever lol Thank you FATA and Enter Shikari

[jeremyunderground41]

their bassist resembles the actor DRAKE BELL haha

[cinigwiazdka]

BINGO! :D

[XxSLauGhTeRKiTtEn]

I love the fact that FAtA sounds like no other band out there....unlike some other bands of the sort whom sound the exact same. This band right here knows how to stand out; I could recognize their music anywhere.

[gothtacoo]

what is the meaning of this song 

[eatmytoe22]

@gothtacoo The lyrics are pretty straightforward. Read the short story The Lottery for a better idea of the video.

[undeadfan89]

boss-"remember its the 3rd day of the 3rd month"

me-"i quit"

[Owlbandgeek2012]

i feel like that's something they should address to the human recources guy...........

[KillingKittens2012]

I love the beginning

[iarejosh1]

i think now would be a good time to take a vacation lol

[ZSwierczynski]

Imagine if it was your first day and you had to die. -_-. 

[gothtacoo]

@ZSwierczynski id run

[bballshawty6304]

Why don't the workers talk to their union board and see if it is against the rules for a company to that to their employees? They could probably get an appeal or something and stop this

[hannahr10]

okaii, whats this song about? o-o

[sabu85]

in the last few years i'm mostly listening to indie rock music, but sometimes it's nice to rediscover some good metal :D

[YouthClash]

@sabu85 this is not metal, this is post-hardcore

[TheMetal445]

wow my birthdays march 3rd -_-

[itsTwitchyx3]

..Someone care to explain what this is about? o_o

[mayorbumblebee]

@itsTwitchyx3 based on a short story called the lottery

[itsTwitchyx3]

@mayorbumblebee Ahh! Ty :D

[JesusAteMyWaffles]

Oh, also.... BINGO... wait... fuck. -_-

[JesusAteMyWaffles]

The guy looks away in sadness because now its a sausage fest (and a fat girl, but im sure they'd rather not)

[tsukasa092709635]

NO GIRL? FUCK THIS IS CRAP.

[CainMeadows]

Delete my comment Vagrant Records bitches??? THUMBS UP IF YOU WANT FATA TO GET BACK TOGETHER!!

[JulyArises]

@CainMeadows that would be amazing, with or without Ben, both versions of FATA works.

[lAsDaylightDiesl]

I love how the drummer screams.

[firestr70]

I would just..killed my boss.

[StopRunningKid]

D --> I would've just quit.

[ElizabethBones]

Reminds me of The Lottery by Shirley Jackson.

[yoimer06]

"And those who resisted, were tracked down from their homes. This necklace was fashioned out of their teeth and bones........OUT OF THEIR TEETH AND BONES!"

[stoner1233]

@yoimer06 "dragged out" Dumbas.

[stoner1233]

@yoimer06 "dragged out" Dumbass.

[yoimer06]

@stoner1233 Do you have to be an asshole about it? We both like FATA, you don't have to be a fucking idiot because I don't focus on the exact lyrics.

[BastogneUSMC]

80 people had a friend who were killed by a giant drill...

[DeathcoreDrumzDude]

THE DRUMMER SCREAMS! AWESOMENESS.

[rjport]

@DeathcoreDrumzDude He's also the lead singer, same guy :P

[curlyheadbanger]

Holy fuck, this music video has been up since 07?! Fuckk. It doesn't even feel like that long ago.

[RafaellaszBill]

OMG PLEASE COME BACK FATA, I MISS YOU GUYS T_T

[TheSorrowSears]

is this based on "the lottery" that old story from like the 1900's?

[Ty2kk9]

@TheSorrowSears You know that story!? Yes, that is actually what this song is based off of! I am being serious, good job seeing how they relate!

[YourInnerSong]

@Ty2kk9 ummmm yeah... it only says it on wikipedia... lol. :0

[Ty2kk9]

@YourInnerSong Oh... well l actually didn't look there... I just figured he saw the connection like me.

[TheSorrowSears]

@Ty2kk9 i would prefer this death to being stoned to death though

[Ty2kk9]

@TheSorrowSears For sure, at least this is (kinda) quick lol.

[DntL0okAtm3]

(March 3)ummm i'm not going to work today : Y is dat : my religion is against "BINGO" : ok see you march 4th

[thewordsdied]

@PeRmanentMelTdown Shit. Looks like I'm part of the "Fell in love with FATA after they broke up" club too.

[PeRmanentMelTdown]

@thewordsdied i know right

[GenghisEMO]

They are Freaking Badass. Sucks they split up, but i'll look to the brightside, Francis helped a mexican band (called Lawson) record new songs with them. DUDE i cant wait.

[PeRmanentMelTdown]

@GenghisEMO what i barely found out about this band!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GenghisEMO]

@PeRmanentMelTdown yep they split up. It was about 3 months ago that i started listening to the band and BAM got hit with the news they broke up a while back.

But since 2007-2008ish Francis the lead singer and drummer started helping a Mexican band called Lawson. But the song(s) he helped record have still not been released and according to Lawson's Facebook and they replied to my question I posted at their page they will release the song(s) in their new album. But i got a glimpse of a song.

[GenghisEMO]

@PeRmanentMelTdown Francis helped record a re-make of "Black Mamba" by the Mexican band Lawson. Lyrics are in Spanish for the original song, but the re-make with Francis will be both in English and Spanish. Lyrics in spanish were changed to "...Despues de todo arrancara tu corazon..." (origional: "...Aprendera y practicara la forma de aniquilarte, a ti..."

Francis has added new lyrics but all I heard about was two lines "For You!...For You!.."

"FRANCIS (F.A.T.A.) CON LAWSON" name of a vid/source

[foreverreckless]

See they change vocalist's and still sound great if only all bands were that way. -_-

[HelloStonerKitty]

Love this song!! :) Video is weird but I think it works lol

[comptonassmike1]

holicaust i thought it talking about for a sec lmfaooo but wrong

[weenascar]

what...the...fack

cool song but weird video

[BWulf89]

I wud have called in sick

[acewhole10198]

Im just saying those employees should probaley like call the union or something

[meankhan]

FATA was by far the most kick ass band ever...... I really miss 'em.

[grayfox45567]

I miss FATA :(

[jtoepfer24]

we just read a short story in english class today about exactly this. its called the lottery i think.

[Circasurvive1238901]

@jtoepfer24 yes, and i believe thats what this might be based off . that story was called the lottery

[CarnageMerc]

Its interesting, FATA was pretty big when they were around, but since they began to fade away before youtube became popular, they don't have nearly the views as a lot of currently active bands do. Undeserving, but its like we're listening to a hidden gem now :)

[GenghisEMO]

@CarnageMerc True that but right now Francis is kind of getting more fans in Mexico since he is working with a Mexican Post-Hardcore/Postcore band called "Lawson." He help make a remake or "Black Mamba" (a spanish song origionally made by Lawson) and now he is adding English lyrics and Lawson have re-mastered their Spanish lyrics.

Check out the vid "FRANCIS (F.A.T.A.) CON LAWSON" & "Dsd L oToño Kon LawSon (producción gritafuerte)."

WARNING: Lots of Spanish in those vids... Francis in English

[GenghisEMO]

@CarnageMerc You only have to pay attention to Francis in those vids if you dont speak Spanish. I speak Spanish so I'm perfectly fine with those vids and the Songs by Lawson (Mexican Post-Hardcore/Postcore band)

[SpartanNinjaViking]

Worst game of BINGO ever

[TheSugarwolf31]

reminds me of the aztec sacrifice rituals

[MetalDeathize]

O_O

[alexnohander]

i would be like, "FUCK YOU GUYS ILL GET A NEW JOB"

[teamFBR367]

600,000 of these views are from me

[k3v31690]

if you listen closely you could hear a great song at 0:00 to 3:51

[Rsetness9]

That video was jacked up

[SpartanNinjaViking]

Why would you take a job where every March 3rd someone would randomly be chosen to get killed by a giant drill to the ear?

[codyspyr67]

@SpartanNinjaViking

its symbolism to the movie and book where they have to stone someone to death at the beginning of the month. Can't recall the name

[missheard101]

@codyspyr67 the lottery.

[codyspyr67]

@missheard101

thanks1

[mollymassacre69]

@missheard101 i love that story and immediately thought of the story the first time i saw this video :p

[missheard101]

@mollymassacre69 wow. that storys so messed up, how could anyone love it?

[mollymassacre69]

@missheard101 ...because its a good story? its written well. 

[missheard101]

@mollymassacre69 jus sayin... lol

[AngryKhan]

@SpartanNinjaViking its a reference to a short story, which im pretty sure is called "the village"

[UndeadShaggyDoo]

@SpartanNinjaViking I think it's part of the health insurance.

[MrDemoExpert]

@SpartanNinjaViking I'd quit on March 2nd then rejoin March 4th :D

[hannahr10]

@SpartanNinjaViking whatttt?

[ElizabethBones]

@SpartanNinjaViking It's from a story but I forgot which one. They kill people for "good crops" but instead of being drilled to death they are stoned to death. They just switched some shit up.

[Scarvus2]

@ElizabethBones The Lottery. Forget who it's written by, though. It was also made into a movie.

[sbmusicfan]

@SpartanNinjaViking  they must get paid excellent money! and the benefits are to die for. ;)

[AgileProductions]

@SpartanNinjaViking based on a short story called the lottery :b

[lemonpop4u]

@SpartanNinjaViking its a metaphor for gay marriage



[eatmytoe22]

@SpartanNinjaViking The idea is based off a short story called The Lottery. Listen closely: "We know the end of man will stem, From stale tradition."

[SpartanNinjaViking]

@eatmytoe22 ah that's pretty cool

[valeoncat13]

@SpartanNinjaViking For the chicks!

[msDelenda]

just bring Ben back to FATA

[breakingthisdown]

Lol, just those last 2 seconds made me a little nauseous, LOLLL.

[Undespensibl3]

They sound a little whiny! :/

[alexbleeds]

Ah, these guys were my first concert. I saw them with silverstein, the greatest experience ever..why did they have to brake up..

[Lukeinthebox]

Sweet song, wish I could have seen these guys live.

[charger619c]

The vocals suck balls, but the music kicks ass. One guy is screaming like his anus is being ripped in half from the inside out, and the other one sounds like the lost Jonas brother.

[nazyligger4]

@charger619c its the same guy screaming, drumming and singing. you can't find talent like Francis Mark these days.

[charger619c]

@nazyligger4 I can appreciate the drumming, and the guitars. But get a new vocalist, this style sucks and it keeps a ton of potential fans away.

[MrJustinification]

i cant relate the song to the video....... but badass band, song, album, and video

[evilconcarne444]

This is total barf.

[blc341]

sacrificing the idealistic image, or sexualized desired one, or the good to satisfy the aggressive impules of the group for the good of the crop.

[BenRobinson94]

why do i discover the good bands too late? :/

[imtohotforu]

@BenRobinson94 same.... tis truly the lamest thing ever -_-

[coheedchannel]

this was like the best band ever omg

[MR1KAMiL]

0:33 = 9/11/2001

[monrad1971]

I went to music-map and wanted musicians like Beth hart. Brought up this. Epic fail

[BcuzIGotHigh420]

@monrad1971 Are we supposed to give a fuck?

[BcuzIGotHigh420]

@monrad1971 cuz we don't

[TheSorrowSears]

mmmm this video seems to be based from a old story called the lottery in which the winner was stoned to death

[AtomicxDusk]

Whats going on in this video? o.O great song btw.

[TheDerekDISASTER]

0:33

Spy Plane Imbound.

[mikedsm12]
