Oh, Sleeper - Vices Like Vipers Official Music Video

[BLOODOFTHEMARTYRS]

HOW’S IT GOING?!?! The everyday grind of life got you feeling blue? Well hop on over to our youtube page and hopefully we can help cheer you up. We are a Hardcore/Metal band that recently signed onto Darkslate Records and we would be extremely grateful if you could check our songs(recorded in the same studio as INHALE EXHALE) and videos. We do not wish to disrespect the uploader of this video, we simply want to promote our music and our ministry. God Bless!

[Alcoholandastronauts]

This is my favorite video of all time.... It has so much meaning. Oh, Sleeper!!!! Such a awesome song too!

[shadowfanguy]

this song was in the movie the last arbender

[b4mvroxursox]

Not only does he have good vocals, he's attractive. :]

Brilliant is obviously an understatement.

[ChickenSnapples1]

This is an awesome song, and the video depicts just what they are trying to say, God tells us too let go of this world, yet we dont want to let go. vices like vipers, truth spoken whatever holds us back is a vice, and that vice is just like the viper that bites our heels, and when we are wounded we stumble even further. That is why we should just let go!!

[ben242011]

good song, stupid video

[ratujr]

i am going to buy this album

[messyroompro]

the thing i find saddest about this video is how hard the mom and dad try to grab their money and drugs as they're being pulled away. it's so true it's sad.......

[boandjonnybatch]

not only is this an amazing song but the lyrics are so meaningful. people really need to start taking a look at what direction their lives are going

[ChristMetalFreak]

Point of reference...Chuck Norris is a Christian...he cant be wrong :) haha

[SeanathenII]

Oh Sweeper

[WhiteRook144]

@SeanathenII Oh, Creeper.

[HiGuy1236]

Wow, such ana amazing song, by a truly talented band. My fave by them is "The Finisher".. so powerfull

[whitejem09]

[Sparrtain117]

So creepy.. but great song, great band, and great lyrics.

[googke101]

I met the lead singer after a concert they did with Demon Hunter. What a nice guy.

[333GodRools777]

:-O Wait, they are both kinda lead singers...Which one Micah (The screamer AKA My favorite!) Or the other one that name is on the edge of my mind but I can't seem to remember it?

[Senorwalrus420]

[920connor]

its rising against all the world

[doodskater77]

Isnt this song talking about drug addiction?? something like that, this song is bad ass tho, they pwn

[christopherfinny]

Vices are porno, prostitutes, lusts that hurt you; Like Vipers they bite into your heel and they hurt you. Psalm 141 Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat of their delicacies.

[ohwhatacereal]

i do not belive in god(and im sure u dont care) but passages like that can turn a sinner to a reformed man.

in menace 2 society i cant remember who said it but i teacher stated that he doesnt believe in another students religion but if it can shape him into a better man, then thats wat should happen.

u prolly dont care but i was just sayin

ty

[christopherfinny]

Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, "Yes, you know me, and You know where I am from. I am not here on my own, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him, but I know him because I am from him and he sent me." John 7:28-29 I do care, and Jesus cares. You can come out of this world which will leave you always wanting more, and come unto Christ who fills the hunger and thirst for ever. The vices (drugs) these can be cast of by Christ.

[christopherfinny]

"Blessed are they whose trasnsgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord wil never count against him." Romans 4:7-8

[thatkidstripey]

@ohwhatacereal bro i care you should check out your local church service this week and see how legit being a christian is

[messyroompro]

@thatkidstripey amen to that bro!

[runningmustang]

@ohwhatacereal hey:) i do care...:) interesting opinion:) why don't you believe in God?

[920connor]

3:00 nice as hell, sweet ass song

[timnacious425]

yeah i met the lead guitarist for this band at a concert. He's a really cool guy. And hes brutal on guitar. Like he was playing while pointing at me and still playing a sweep and i was like...holy crap!

[x1ofakind1x]

vices like sleepers? :3

[benehime7]

nonconmformity!!!! whoo!!!

[MaTtH3vV]

this is a crazy video but sickkk music.

[ilikeunderoathh]

oh sleeper is kick ass live :)

[redumbrella1234]

i met an incredible person who i'll never forget who introduced me to this band. i've finally realized what significance this band has to them, and i want them to know it's impossible to forget them. <3

[ridthedisease]

Such an amazing band and song

[slap767]

hell yeah dude they are so gnarly

[captaincheese9]

sorry i am a nerd :P 8D

[Kindahuge]

Nah dude, you're informative. I would've offered to answer Auguste10 similarly if you hadn't already, good job : )

[captaincheese9]

but then her mask falls of showing she has decided to stop being a sheep and copying everyone else

and then the hands of death recede and the song ends

ya its a message about thinking for yourself and casting off what holds you down like drugs

[captaincheese9]

the larger figures are images of corrupt parents the one on the right is a drug addicted wife

the one on the left is the money addicted father

as he is placing money on his plate

and she is pouring pills onto her plate

they are indulging in their sins

as they indulge on the money and drugs they disappear into the background AKA die

the child in the center has a normal meal

but after watching her parents she begins to reach for the money and the pills

and you see the hands if death grasp her

[captaincheese9]

the two larger figures on the side are wearing VIPER masks

and the smaller figure in the center has a sheep mask

the sheep mask is not indicative of a wolf in sheep's clothing but and impressionable naive figure

sheep are known to do whatever the other sheep do they don't normally think for themselves

[Auguste10]

whats the moral or story of the song? Just asking people..im wondering? reply back please :

[betternowsomehow]

nasty...... in a great way of course

[Soulplatinumsuper]

I used to get them mixed with Mychildren Mybride.

[Kindahuge]

Nooo you of course mean Martina McBride. VERY similar artists ; )

[JonE82911]

i liked this band alot when i first heard them, loved them once I listened to the lyrics

[xXCloudsOmnislashXx]

ahha i got a tattoo of one of their lyrics actually, on one arm it says "its the wool..." and on the other "...to hide the wolves" saying there is a darkness in all of us, no matter how hard you try.

[123koedho]

FUCK YEAH! This song rapes babys!

[YoYoHall]

christian music... rapes? babies?!

irony!

[123koedho]

fine, it rapes CHILDREN...

[damnitsht]

complete and utter infantile desecration!

[slayingathaliah]

not one bad comment, thats what i like to see!:) this band and their music is truly incredible. Gods workin through them:)

[deansmithisgreat]

When I am GOD

This church is unsound!!

AMEN

[123mysweetvoice]

ha ha ha give it up to the credits on this post who give's a shit! great song eh

[Raeldaz]

There is a LOT of hidden messages in the song itself.

So I would just figure out what you figure and believe that. Everyone gets something else out of it.

[dr1uid]

Main point to the story is pretty much like peer pressure right ?

[isu182]

Money and painkillers...what could be better? :)

[nazra7]

God is better :)

[vic2037]

but whats the message under this?? The video for me is weird cuz i doN't get it.

[goldgoku3264]

yea, bro i just watched an interview on youtube from oh sleeper about their new album and they were saying that the lyrics on the new songs are deeper and straight forward. example in one of their songs called IN ALL HONESTY the lyrics goes like this:" i don't want to be the father who has to watch his daughter con'd and stripped bare, by a monster like me. God put me to sleep."

[nazra7]

Oh, sleeper and Demon Hunters are the best!

[blapoody]

sunday!!!!!!

[redalchemy]

ugh i love the message behind this video and song. it's so epic and awesome that a band can rock so hardcore and still have a message.

[TheGregster]

the message sucks!!!!!!111

[deansmithisgreat]

the end is so epicly awesome. because its a cry out to God that we are broken and need him.

This my lust the pornos and the sluts

Take my lust, this world's love

Great Counselor, Take Whats Left

Great Counselor, Take Whats left of me.

[tj1271]

Yeah! Can't wait for the new CD!

They said that the CD was gonna have more songs like Vices Like Vipers and Charlatans Host! And the meaning of the CD is gonna be about the fight between God and Satan when the world ends!

It's gonna be great!

[TheGregster]

NO, U

[soccerstr101]

awesome song :)

[Trevormcgoldrick]

There is so much ignorance and fail in this video's comments, I don't even know where to begin.

[stuhuck]

Pretty cool. I need to learn this on guitar

[HAL0THREEGOD]

you would be a beast

[EseRamiro1]

I love how when people get on youtube and look up bands, they all become a professional. But only about what genre the band is. Who gives a fuck what it's "genre" is. Point is, it's music.

[Dark0men]

"black christian metal". That might be close to being one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. And Idk.. I guess their genre is pretty arguable. They have traits that would place them in metalcore and others that would certainly land them in the terrible Post-Hardcore scene. I guess it doesn't really matter in the end though.. If you like them, you like them.. If you don't, then you don't.

[vithuisfly]

yea the chorus remind me of something saosin wud right :P

the rest is pretty metalcore.

[grindmetalhead]

agreed with circatbs. metalcore.

and yes they have the scene element to their look but they're not post hardcore.

and wtf?? black christian metal?? thats an oxymoron, you're just throwing out terms here man.

[MrOlliepop]

just fownd this band love em

[Dark0men]

This song isn't bad for being Post-Hardcore.. And these kids are the "emo's" of metal. Just look at the kid playing bass with his V-Neck shirt. Pretty homo eh?

[xXCloudsOmnislashXx]

haha dude this can barely be called post hardcore, theyre black christian metal.

[circatbs]

lol, this is straight up metalcore. dont be an idiot.

[xXCloudsOmnislashXx]

oh my lord, seriously people, i was just making fun of the other people who dont know all the genres, like would you seriously think someone would say "black christian metal" seriously?????? i was just kiddin hahaah

[black4god]

lol  noob

[jrob9inson]

i think it means we will reap what we soe.

[merrsshee]

This song? This song is about not falling victim to the vices of our culture

[tdwpwithrootsabove]

great counsoler, take what's left! of MEEEE

[thakang69]

i dont normally hear this kind of music. but this track is fucking GREAT!!!

Nice song...! ;)

[ScaryHawk865]

awesome, so much better than the emo bands, out emoed them all!

[imperfection32]

these guys arent even emo

[emelyemerz522]

does it mateter

this song is killer (:

[Cameroniloveyou29]

SICK

[golden1324]

love the sweeping. it's so much fun to play on guitar!

[themetALpLaYeR]

[golden1324]

[themetALpLaYeR]

[ifuwannar0ck]

[SuburbanGangsters]

This, my lust the porno's and the sluts

Take my lust, this worlds love

awesome!

[itsnotthechemicals]

<3333333333333333

[thegnarvids]

Great song but kinda stupid music video. prolly makes more sense when you know the words to the song.

[poggyproductions]

is it just me or when Christian bands sing well, for lack of better words "normal", they have the same sound? great song though...

[samps1540]

amazing

[gibsonsg1090]

best lyrics! and i love the message of the song!!!!!!!!!!!

[meeatnow]

Great councellor,

Take what's left, of me.

[joshwithguitarinhand]

Hey, this band sounds kinda like UnderOath, they're really good!

[Subzero63]

nothing like underoath at all listen to a different band that adds screams and then tell me your opinion.

[Rugbymadball]

yeh, and they toured with them.

sounds more like architects tbh though

[SsxFanatic]

Gotta love it.

;)

[deansmithisgreat]

their new album at the end of the summer (i think) is going to be EPIC.

[azerothdeathbringer]

i love this song, it kicks ass!

[joshatlanticism]

this video is either really cool or really stupid

i can't decide

[StephanieXSinful]

Amazing song.

:]

[ganeshrakesh]

i love this song

[GurlGlue]

I'm scared.

[azerothdeathbringer]

then stop watching it

[electric2rainbows]

I effin Love this song!!!

[e4ts1mmy]

the porno's and the sluttssssssss!!!!

sick tune

[MetaShredder]

God this song is amazing lol too awesome

[nailgun63]

is it possible for me to make love to this song?

[shaunmt91]

Are there any songs with less screaming on?

[QFXsexycat]

If you don't like songs with screaming then don't listen to this type of music, fucktard.

[shaunmt91]

He has a good singing voice from what I've heard. If I want music with screaming into ill listen to something more brutal or technical like converge or between the buried and me.

[QFXsexycat]

converge and between the buried and me arent heavy and definitely not brutal. What the hell kind of music are you used to when you think that they are heavy? The Black dahlia murder, god forbid, gorgoroth, lamb of god, as i lay dying, now those are some actual heavy bands not those douchefags you listen to.

[shaunt91]

I didnt claim they were heavy. I know the bands I listed arent heavy but they do have some brutal parts. Growling does not mean brutal to me.

[QFXsexycat]

Well a piece of shit guitar solo with all the wrong chords and a kid cutting himself do not mean brutal to me. To me it just shouts out cocksucker.

[IamnotAhab]

fail

[HarmonyOfElements]

Those aren't even heavy, QFX :) Hahaha.. Everything is relative so.. So instead of lashing out, stay calm. Swearing doesn't help anything, just makes you look like a ignorant and pissed-off little person.

I sincerely hope you improve :) This world has too many corrupted people.

And NO I'm not a christian.

[triviumliam]

have you listened to paul waggoner ever?

no 'douchefag' im afraid

[cmadison0005]

haha. fucktard. Love that word

[PatFromHell]

One of the best intros I've ever heard!

[FairysShrimp]

loove this song, it's amazing.

[duke62990]

My favorite song by Oh, Sleeper.

Keep making good music guys!

[XPredictableAliciaX]

LOVE this song

its hard-core like that haha :D

VICES LIKE VIPER !!!!!!

[xguitarstud13xx]

a really good song and video in my opinion..but what do i know. im just a freak haha

[DszOfficial]

The meaning is confusing, I think it is however, Showing all sins we humans commit all too often. Starting with using the animals unruly, the money which shows greed, the porn and sluts, last is the pills and the drugs.

[tylaird1992]

the animals are lambs. like in the bible it says we are sheep

[xXlUfF95Xx]

wow the video is pretty creepy but thats wat makes it cool =)

[sk8er4life0690]

fuck these guys kick some ass

some really badass lyrics

[samfenator2]

i saw these guys in concert, they were sooo awesome!!!!!

[PittsburgSteelers86]

same

agreed they can really get the crowd going

[DKDennis1]

Love the intro.

The lyrics are pretty sick, i dont understand them fully yet. Good christian metal!

[Neptune0100]

their lyrics are so biblical... so hard to understand haha, but I love them for it.

[omfgorzemilio]

u fags prolly dont even listen to them douche bags

[omfgorzemilio]

oh sleeper kicks ass

[xSchabanaKx]

LovE the intro of the song ... ♪ ♥ √

[saltyeggroll]

oh sleeper rocks.

the end.

[XxXcokiemnstrXxX]

uhgg god i hate animal heads on ppl bodies lol but kickass song tho!

[ratlover35]

omg luv the guitar that starts at 3:45 till the end!!! haha freaky cow heads 0.o

[andrew9395]

megadeth and black sabath is way better, my friend says this is the best song ever and its nothing special, just some screaming song from the new milineum, man 80's metal is way better

[joeyLJ]

IMO this is much better music than most metal from the 80, it all comes down to the person.

[JakdUponMtnDew]

Both 80's metal and The newer metal are great

and both are different and alike in many ways

I myself prefer the newer, but yeah it comes down to the person

[smoerly]

haha you re right you should check out """""BRIAN POSEHN - Metal By Numbers""""

[Skeptical89]

Your so lucky hehe.

[KaylaANDAnden]

I get to see them this saturday!

IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!

:DDDDDDDDDDDDD

[aalr1986]

how was the show????

[billyofdoon]

great song, but what is that curtain like thingy at the end that the girl is like staring at lol?

[Falcynn]

Since this is a Christian metalcore band, I'm guessing it might be god and the whole video is some sort of message saying that with god in your life you can overcome your addictions to vices....

or something like that, I'm not very good at interpreting messages.

[5m0k3w333d]

yea christians always try to act like they're better than everybody pretending like they don't want money and/or drugs.

this is a good song, but religious fags need to stop trying to deny their humanity.

[kellys131]

wow you're a jerk.

[antiemo938726]

ill second kellys131, cause you really are a tosser and i am not even religious

[kellys131]

what did i say?

i cant find it

[DatzWhatsUp]

2:58 - 3:12 is fucking sex

[SDWFjermex]

dude why u gotta be hatin

[DatzWhatsUp]

Wtf lol how am i hating..I just pointed out my favorite part of the song

[skitzo15]

sex = good

[xFakeRemorsex]

the best christian metal/hardcore band ever

[ChairmanYin]

what does being christian have anything to do with metal or hardcore/

[xFakeRemorsex]

nothing at all

you can be christian and don't like metalcore, or rock or whatever :/

but oh sleeper is considerated a christian metalcore band because they have christian messages in their songs

christianism and metal or hardcore aren't related, anyways there's a lot of chrisitan 'rock/metal/hardcore' bands that have christian influences

[Joeytronlol]

Amazing is the word to describe this song. Amazing lyrics, amazing guitar, amazing drums.

Amazing song

[Myketheonly]

Lyrically, you can't get much better than this.

[japimportssuck]

Moving video...understand completly...Lay off the wordly shit or youll be pulled in from behind by demons!!! you sheeple.

[christiandrummer777]

love these dudes and their music....met James, he's my youth pastor's wive's cousin

[xikissbloodylips]

these guys are beasts. i love em
