[domainphotography]

Devin Townsend, you animal.

[BeyondLame]

pure, pure, pure evil

[justKenny99]

Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe LOL

[dchockeygoali07]

1:06 - 1:23 is absolutely ridiculous. this guy's vocal chords are reptilian or something

[jbposerslayer]

@dchockeygoali07 Three words answer your question my friend, and they are: DEVIN FUCKING TOWNSEND.

[thecurse23]

if I had a vagina... it would be SOAKED right now

[EndoMetalSkeleton]

vaginal hahaha

[EndoMetalSkeleton]

SHINE ON, SHINE ON, SHINE ON... So good

[Zyborggian]

WHY DID YOU CUT OFF THE ENDING

[ljoekelsoey4]

im really interessted to know. was this song ever played live? and if so, could devin really pull off those screams? it doesnt seem humanly possible in all honesty o_O

[simplyethan]

@ljoekelsoey4 Of course! He screams like that in a lot of his work! Just look up some songs live here on YT.

[oAPXo]

@ljoekelsoey4 Watch them at Download, sit back and relax.

[ljoekelsoey4]

@oAPXo they didnt play this at download? you mean in 2006? almost 99% sure they didnt play this...

[oAPXo]

@ljoekelsoey4 I didn't say "watch them play it" I said watch them at download, sit back and relax.

[ljoekelsoey4]

@oAPXo ah yeh ive got the download dvd. none of his other screams come close to this song though, i was just wondering CAN he sing it live??

[Xderda]

Holy fucking shit, like everyone else, that scream at 1:44 and 4:30 or so... I was in disbelief. That's some serious shiz, yo.

[LenientProcess]

Listening to this song while working out boosts your strength tenfold and kills the weak in a 3 mile radius.

[sickly666]

Devin Townsend = God in my eyes

[ThaHedge]

Gene Hoglan was the man who really got me interested in metal drumming. Right here is a perfect example why.

[dragonzith]

you have to have really good speakers to really enjoy those booms! 4:17

[Chretze]

for everyone who loves the scream at 1:44.... on 4:30 he pulls that off again

EPIC

[666MetalMatt]

1:44 best scream ever.

[ghostriderx101]

Vote Devin for God.

[mkklmann]

@ghostriderx101 The deity rest in us all.. Devin says so.

Probably more so in some people, but Devin is a really humble and nice guy when not in Strapping :)

[idankupr]

one of the best songs ever in the world absolut amazing amazing - this is what true metal is all about.... shine for ever

[mustasparta]

1:44

It blew my mind to find out thats not a guitar making that noise

but rather Devin screaming

...good god

*applause*

[mustasparta]

1:44

thats not a guitar

thats devin's vocals

......my god

[xbadninjax]

@mustasparta I've never heard this song before. I was going to click on that to see what you were talking about, but then I would've missed out on the rest of the song. XD I'll just wait.... holy motherfucking shitballs.

[DGSAVOID]

simply brilliant. amazing....damn my tong is hanging out again.

[theaxelofrose]

Titties!

[skr1p7k1dd]

when the girl starts saying "shine on" and hoglan starts peddling the drums its fucking amazing.

[DarkZero310]

Damn I read the info thing and I can't stop hearing vaginal!!

Good song though

[MetallicOpeth]

for anyone listening to this for the first time...turn your volume ALL the way up!

this song is absolutely amazing...enough said...its just sooo heavy, the buildup from 3:53 to the end is just too good to be true

[ThePathofHavoc]

Duly noted! Vol maxed out!!

[TheJordanChristian]

@MetallicOpeth Vol is all the way up...Still aint loud enough. I would literally let Devin smash my head into bricks if I could get the same intensity as him. SYL FTW!

[lupine73]

That scream at 1:44 is inhuman.

Then again... so is Devin...

So... all is well.

[888ddd888]

When i first heard SYL i could not understand it. I have been listening to it on and off now for about 3. Now i understand - this is pure music and energy without any restraints set on its expression. The skill of the musicians is extreme and the end (anti) product is something to behold.

[888ddd888]

*for about 3 years

[DSkehan2004]

The song's genre is extreme metal. omg I never heard extreme metal before. lol

[BeyondLame]

it just sounds so evil.....

fuckin amazing

[Kadzait1]

Goddamn this is epic shit.

[lupine73]

Yeah... I was listening to this song last night on my mp3 player and it occurred to me that this song is a masterpiece of pure energy. Hoglan's playing some insane stuff on this song, too.

[Kadzait1]

I have this on my MP3 as well. Unlike other songs strapping young lad has a bunch of sounds in their music making the experience even more amazing. Yo can listen to all kinds of background music.

Its a masterpiece.

[MetallicOpeth]

i know man, i fucking miss Strapping Young Lad soooo much, probably the heaviest Canadian band :)

[mattehISme]

@MetallicOpeth the entire band wasnt canadian. hoglan was from texas.

[lacusXXharo]

I love this song.

[bluprint79]

The best song in existence!

[66rayzor99]

WE'RE ALL CLOUDED.DEVY 4 EVER.

[Sojk65a]

listen to Holographic Universe - Scar Symmetry, the first seconds of that song sounds alot like the main riff or whatever in this song

[missdicso]

WUUuuUU n.n

[deviantrake]

One of my fave SYL tunes, feckin awesome!!!!!!!
