STRAPPING YOUNG LAD - Almost Again (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[Gonko100]

honestly, i think we got ourselves an unreachable classic right there

[UnFathaMabLe]

Right now there are no suggestions to the right of my screen -------------->

..I think my computer recognized there is nothing left to search. I have reached the pinnacle of musical genius and perfection.

True story*

[chaoshellbound]

This man is a genius.

[CynicalBrony]

The static ruins the song, though...

[wattuq]

@CynicalBrony no

[CygnusSkyfire]

one of the greatest metal songs every written :-)

[DamienFknHerbert]

I've listened to so much music throughout my life but this could easily be the best song I've ever heard. So beautiful and so powerful, I've never heard anything like it, before or since.

[mads2k]

I love how the music almost drowns in static when the bass drops hit

[MordBeimSport]

dont like clean voice, like devin, like good music!! but clean voice is SOOOO GOOOD!! LOVE IT!!

[Wickenburgz]

*jizz*

[KalaCommentary]

360p for your own safety.

[Dioliveson55]

Damn good song. Devin has such a fucking powerful voice! just makes you wanna sing along!

[Teddybear467]

the sound for this video is not so good

[Ansuz793]

@Teddybear467 I think this video is not so good for this amazing song

[BubuSnow93]

Why audio quality sucks so much on an official video?

[chaoshellbound]

@BubuSnow93 It's to powerfull for and listening devices to acknowledge. I have this songon my ipod any headphones i try it sounds exactly like this.

[BubuSnow93]

@chaoshellbound i have the CD and it's perfect, it sounds like this video /watch?v=8d89dFAOKJs

maybe you downloaded a low q version

[iskim86]

this is one of the favorite music videos, along with Nine Inch Nails' "Closer"

[turfele]

Oh God Oh God Oh God Oh God I think my speakers just exploded!!

[pcrvg0808]

Good question ,

Equally puzzling is the fact that there is no live registration of the song in question .

[branvanfourtwenty]

whoever directed this music video definetly caught the intensity of the song...so awesome

[liquidpig]

Goddamn you clean vocals, why you gotta ruin a good song

[PcCAvioN]

@liquidpig Someone's close minded :P

[liquidpig]

@PcCAvioN Not at all; from years and years of experience, I just know what I like and don't like when it comes to my metal -- which is just one of the many musical genres I love.

[666MetalMatt]

@liquidpig At least your just admiting your personal opinion.Imo,Devin has the greatest clean vocals ever.Has an incredible range ive never heard from any other metal singers.Also is one of the only singers that I enjoy when he does some screaming.Either way he truly shines in the music he writes no doubt about that.

[liquidpig]

@666MetalMatt Yeah Devin seems like he has some talent and puts out quality stuff. I just don't care for most of it.

[Ebb0Productions]

is 0:33 supposed to be like that?

[eddah123]

@Ebb0Productions Yes it is, notice how the video also 'vibrates'!

[MrMisunderstandable]

That's a masterpiece, guys. Beautiful masterpiece from the best of industrial metal...

[Dodgecityscene]

Lol you can play that beat with the most simple pedals there are. its all in foot work. also he can play it perfect because it was recorded in a studio. you can do anything there. im sure he can play it live to. its not hard to do that foot part you guys. lol

[ereid23]

Wow this is fucking awesome

[TheBloodlustEternal]

@ereid23 Yeah, I heard it for the first time about 10 minutes ago. I'm playing it for the fourth time now...

[hubbardcoe15]

Good stuff

[strychnine7777]

2:12 JENOVA... okay... Its real!

[slipknotrulesjackass]

love this band sooo fucking much :P

[thedeceived]

I posted a video up of All Hail The New Flesh with the caption "God I miss this band". Jed (who I'd had as a friend) commented with "'Id be lying if I said I didn't miss it too...". It was awesome but absolutely soul destroying. Tenet, ZH and DTP are great, and I wouldn't want them to stop, but when SYL died, so did a little bit of metal. It's unlikely it will ever happen, but this band reforming, as long as it was for the right reasons, would reinvent metal again. A band ahead of their time.

[whylie74]

Either I really really like this or there is something wrong with me because I've played this 10 times in a row.

[whylie74]

I feel a need to play this through a 50'000 kilowatt sound system if such a thing existed or could be built.

[bailielarson21]

Insanely beautiful.

[pcrvg0808]

One of a few existing songs that can make you tear down walls while crying .

[kuttersprodukt]

Devin tears youtube apart... What a man... The aliens may come, we'll send him to prove there is genius, beauty and strangeness on this planet...

[AlxTheLamb]

How can something be so brilliant?

[Tyroshimo9152]

1:07 HOLY MOTHERFU**ING SHIT!

[seanjohnson666]

Fantastic!!!!

[forsakenbyall90]

Awesome song and video, Devy makes unbelievable music. Does anyone else feel this video was inspired by the old Homeworld games? I can see a slight resemblance between the cutscenes from the games and this.

[waderp]

fucking epic....nothing else

[TRMDYLE666]

fucking intense.

[Acceleraterify]

Visualize perfection. Visualize Devin Townsend.

[DreadFugitiveMind]

THIS SHIT GIVES ME FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS

[Dhieen]

603 000 views XD

[johndejac73]

devin takes metal to unbelieveable places.



[Markt666]

Someone has forgotten they were borne lol

[darkharukaex]

devin townsend kick ass =)

[miracleofsound]

Song and visuals both - beautiful and moving... Devin always shows us the most extreme and beautiful lengths that metal can reach to.

[SputnickSweetheart1]

fucking epic! love it!

[TheThruster24]

weird 

[RottenWolff]

Genius!

[dran219]

THAT IS HEVY DEVY!

[MrBobbysmithinhouser]

look the song stops at 3:33!!! its only half eveil!!!

[pcrvg0808]

epic ......, i mean EPIC !!

[WatchVenusSpa]

SYL!

[wajahatkhan]

Can totally see the FF influence

[DrEchocide]

How the fuck is he doing a double bass beat (Intro) while having a closed hi-hat / open hi-hat beat... Does Gene have 3 fucking legs?!

[ulfhedinn666]

@DrEchocide and this is why the bands is talented. they do things that don't really make sense and would seem impossible

[vaxkors95]

@DrEchocide yes, the middle leg of Gene is way longer than generally middle legs...

[hellsing1983]

@DrEchocide Gene is genius;)

[Hiddos]

@DrEchocide Yes, he does actually. Gene was born with four legs and five arms. How else do you expect him to play all the SYL stuff?

[Jimmytuba08]

@DrEchocide He could have one of those double foot pedals where you just rock you foot back and forth instead of having to use both feet...it's not too uncommon.

[rockster07]

@Jimmytuba08 It's just set up with the high hat right next to the left bass pedal, no special pedal. Sean Reinert, the first drummer from Death, had his set up that way, and I'm not sure but I think Gene picked it up from him.

[Dodgecityscene]

@DrEchocide it's called double tapping my friend.

[TheBloodlustEternal]

@Dodgecityscene It's the fact that he can hold that beat perfectly that seems to get me..

[TheBloodlustEternal]

@DrEchocide It's because it's Gene Hoglan... probably the best extreme metal drummer there ever has been.

Over the past five years his drumming has gotten absolutely incomprehensible with all the stuff he can do...

Gene Hoglan is God. :)

[thernuocker2]

@DrEchocide either a dualist pedal or a drop clutch maybe?

[karatasuka]

@DrEchocide

Maybe he plays with his penis. Now that would be amusing. And painful. ^^

[skariaxil]

@DrEchocide

He has more legs than than average human being has breaths to take in a life time. The only reason he doesn't run marathons is that he'd be accused of having too many legs to fairly win.

[hyroglyphx]

@DrEchocide

Single bass drum stroke, leaving the other foot open for the hi-hat

[KarateMastR57]

@DrEchocide If I had to guess he has his heel on the hi hat and his toes on the bass pedal, either that or he has a really fast right foot lol.

[DrEchocide]

@KarateMastR57 Yeah it's probably that. Last time I was at my local music shop I tried Demon Drive pedals (Direct drive longboards if you know what those are) and it was quite simple to do that double kick sounding beat with the right foot alone. Leaving the left for the hi hat.

[medic2009guy]

@DrEchocide watch his atomic clock stuff on youtube gene hoglans a beast and he explains it

[MADRAVN420]

@DrEchocide shhhhh it's called heal & toe. listen & use your minds eye & you'll see.

[Kraxe6sic6]

@DrEchocide

it's the secret of nearly all drummers: a enormous penis!

[UNSCArcher]

@DrEchocide Just look up Sean Reinert, Gene took his style and made it in his own way.

[FurryFerris]

@DrEchocide

Oooh, Gene has 3 legs alright! :) One is bigger than the other two :)

[ThexAbacus]

Epileptics nightmare...

[MrMastershake2001]

With great skullet comes great responsibility.

[ZhasX3]

2:10 Boom. Boo-boom. Boom. Boo-boom.

[LockeXIII]

@ZhasX3 Lol, that got me too. Didn't seem like a lot of bass in the song, then my subwoofer randomly starts poppin'.

[FackThoseNaggerz]

I paused my porn for this. UPGRADE!

[JackedUpNGoodToGo]

I wonder how this would look without film grain...

[2mad2behere]

I don't get why the comments on these videos are always a bunch of people circle jerking to the band. I mean I get that you like them because you looked them up but the comments don't usually have anything to do with the video or the song.

[brownie6t9]

@2mad2behere would you rather them talk about dragons and ponies??

[PhlegethonianStream]

Do not listen to this while driving. It'll kill you.

[chronmas]

My computer crashed, thank you Devin :)

[Malaikat31]

0:33 When YouTube can't handle the awesomeness

[DemonFromPerdition]

@Malaikat31 Dude it almost blew up :D

[DemonFromPerdition]

actually when the first person played this video youtube changed it appearance because of this song it was too great :D

[1masterdestroyer]

@Malaikat31 I hate when youtube butchers sound quality on awesome music.

[jamesdeanmichael]

@Malaikat31 And again at 1:08 hahaha bet it would sound awesome and a system with some bass...

[cheremenin]

Cyberpunk. <3

[klaritasss]

buuuuuu asquerosa banda vayan a pedir limosna que no sirven pa esto

[Hackmoune]

@klaritasss lárgate a fregar escaleras y a bañarte en mierda en tu puto vertedero tercermundista de país puta sudaca, salúdame a tus chulos narcotraficantes coqueros de mierda jejejejejeje

Hail a un mundo sin estos simios incultos apestosos y zarrapastrosos sin futuro juasjuasjuas

[blacknitrate]

was there puking in the end? xD... maybe I heard wrong

[jano619]

what genre is this?

[DoCrazyShit]

@jano619 Devin Townsend, its the only way to describe his music. He is influenced by everything from country to death metal.

[jano619]

@DoCrazyShit I see, well, i was asking because i didn't knew thIs band and what kind of genre is this. Anyway ... this is AWESOME

[80smetalchild]

@jano619

this genre is: Devin Townsend

[dustygobatron]

@80smetalchild Perfect way to put it.

[xXEPICSXx92x]

THIS SONG IS WHAT PORTAL LACKS !!

[6dark6desires86]

whats this video based on?

[sixpounder6169]

@6dark6desires86 i am guessing its based off human experimentation or either an artificial robot with a conscious. i am not entirely sure thou.

[murtazax]

Sorry I meant the horrific Terminator 4, is this video based on that?

[murtazax]

Did Terminator 3 come out right before this?

[anonymouslol]

you could literally compare devin to any metal singer and find him to be more powerful and have more range... I've always had a hard on for phil anselmo but this guy rapes everyone i've ever heard

[666MetalMatt]

@anonymouslol Likewise,My fav metal vocalist was Roy Khan,the guy has incredible range and tone but Devin blows everyone out of the water.

[bluckagungo]

epic



[Shakwon22]

!!fking awesome black-metal chorus

[factoryfear]

Does anybody else find the girl in this video strangely attractive?

[xXyourmomsballsXx]

@factoryfear no.



[Vollkornpizza81]

@factoryfear somehow yes :)

[metalpirate7]

@factoryfear yeah dude. she just looks like THAT kind of girl...

[alex2410]

@factoryfear I think its Devins voice...lol =P

[crazyclown622]

bass drops ftw!!

[vanhalen515084]

how can anyone not like this song, 

[BerzurcusCircus]

@vanhalen515084 Well, it does require that you like this type of music...

[7j8i9m]

Man, this conversation sure does have anything to do with this video.

[Adsmunk]

i understand.

[EuphoniousCrunk]

Kind of reminds me of Bjork's "All is Full of Love" video

[FoggySwe]

77 people needs their systems erased

[FeldbergThePlayer]

Does anyone else think the massive audio distortion works amazingly?

[pcrvg0808]

@FeldbergThePlayer YEP !!

[fausimo]

@FeldbergThePlayer Indeed

[FeldbergThePlayer]

It's beautiful.........it's like a mixture of Dream Theater, Marilyn Manson, Protest The Hero and Between The Buried and Me, but perfect....

[dran219]

@FeldbergThePlayer what do you expect from devin he wrote it all he is a genious

[Blindgreed1]

@dran219 Really?... genious? You really think so? I mean the song is great but you proclaim genious? GENIOUS??? I'm gonna go grab a guinness and ponder genious and get back to you. Genious huh?

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 Maybe it's a better idea for you to go grab a dictionary instead and ponder what life would have been like if you hadn't failed your 3rd grade spelling class, GENIUS!!

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 Or maybe you can look at the post that my comment was directed at and realize what an ass you just made yorself out to be by not recognizing sarcasm on the interwebz.

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 It seems that somehow between drinking guinness, pondering geniOus, and trolling around youtube you still manage to find the time to look through nearly 2,000 comments just so you can make a flippant remark. Good for you! I'm glad you have all the time in the world to waste, along with the cells in YOR leathery, blubber-filled liver and brain. At least you still have YOR charms, and I'd bet on an enviable beer-gut to boot.

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 You made a fool of yourself. Isn't that enough for one day? Now you wanna be a typo nazi? Seriously punk, go find someone else to troll on.

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 Ah, so the troll doesn't like the taste of his own medicine? Or, is it that YOR blind greed and narcissism make it impossible for you to reCognize sarcasm when it's aimed right back at you? After all, I believe it was you who began the ridicule of others for misspellings with a cheap attempt at sarcasm!

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 You're attempt at sarcasm is adolescent at best punk. You're no better at sarcasm then you are at backpeddling because you were too ignorant to discern who my comment was directed at originally. Now run along little man. You're boring me to tears.

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 Um, let's see. Should it be "better then" or "better than"? I can see you were bored to tears in grammar school too. Obviously, the crux of my original comment stands. No backPEDALing required. By the way, "peddle" means to sell. And you have the gall to accuse someone else of ignorance. What a sad joke!

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 You're obsessed with me now. The only sad joke here is in your powdered cheese encrusted hands punk. If you lost enough weight you'd be able to see it for yourself. Clearly you have WAY too much time on your hands. My comment wasn't directed at you, but since you yearn for my attention you can't let me go now can you? It's cute, and i'm flattered but I don't have time for your childish attempts at regaining what little self respect you may have had for yourself.

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 Your projections are quite hilarious (especially in regard to the fat gut/cheese dick comment), so don't flatter yourself (which I'm sure you're used to doing) into thinking it's anything more than a laugh for me. I also love the way you don't seem to directly address the crux of anything I've said, but instead resort immediately to petty name calling. Sounds like grammar wasn't the only lesson you missed in 3rd grade.

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 I'm glad you liked my comment. I'd love it if you'd be so kind as to teach me a lesson punk. You can start with reading comprehension. At what point in this exchange did I resort to petty name calling? I don't adress what you believe to be relevant because to me YOU aren't relevant. You're right about one thing though. I do flatter myself.

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 You know, at this point I'm not convinced anyone could teach you the lesson of reading comprehension. Good luck trying though!

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 So are we done here then? I'd hate to end this prematurely. I'm betting you've had many experiences in finishing off too soon and I'd hate to leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. XD

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 And, ...we end with yet another incredibly vulgar projection on your part. Funniest and most revealing one yet, too.

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 Awe... I was just getting warmed up punk. Next time you choose to become the defender of ignorance on the interwebz, try funnier material. This whole grammar tutorial thing is rather dull.

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 Your poor spelling and grammar are obviously a direct result of your sour attitude towards knowledge. Maybe you can explain how my pointing out your lack of elementary rhetorical skill is defending ignorance? And, is the irony not palpable, that your original comment was (in theory) a response to someone else's grammatical ignorance, yet when it's thrown back at you it's 'dull'? Then again, I just asked a rational question. And sadly, from you I'm not expecting a reasonable answer.

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 That's easy, you came out "guns a blazin" because I made fun of someone who doesn't know how to spell genius. In doing so, you made an ass of yourself and spent your entire day dissecting my posts to serve no purpose other than to stroke your own ego? Pretty pathetic punk.

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 Just as I thought – complete and utter lack of ability to answer a rational question with a direct answer. And I'm sorry to reveal this to you, but there's not much there to 'dissect' in your comments. In terms of ego stroking and similar accusations (and let me pose this question again, in terms of IRONY [do you understand the concept? or perhaps another missed lesson at school?]), do you not find it ironic that you too have spent your day responding to my posts?

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 No, I don't see any irony. This is therapeutic for me. As for answering your "rational question", not sure how I could explain it any clearer. Maybe English isn't your first language? Regardless, your attempts to regain your self respect were futile and it all comes down to one thing. You can't admit that your original post was wrongly directed and you look like a complete ass. You've spent your day throwing up smoke screens in an attempt to mask your own incompetance.

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 Hah, 'incompetAnce'! Yet another funny one. Do you even have a first language? And the irony has to do with the fact that you're criticizing me for doing exactly the same thing that you're doing! How painfully dense can you possibly be?

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 I understand completely what you think is ironic. What you don't understand is that I am an excentric lunatic.  Completely insane... I have nothing better to do THAN sit here in my library and respond to idiots like you all day. Like I said, it's therapeutic for me. My Dr. says it helps me release tension so that I can supress my "urges".

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 Ah, playing the old insanity card. Reminds me of the 'weird' kids back in middle school, a lame defense to cover up overwhelming fear and laziness. Is one of the long term effects of your lunacy arrested development?

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 Yes I was one of the "weird kids" you speak of and I never grew out of it so I guess arrested development is a possibility? I'll ask the doc and get back to ya. I am also very lazy, but I don't fear much. Anything else you'd like to know about me?

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 Okay, no fear but very lazy – you sound like more of a sociopath than a lunatic. That being said, I'm not really interested in the grim details of your therapy.

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 That is correct, but most people warm up to the term lunatic easier than sociopath. You were fun. Come back and play again soon. We're best friends now. :-)

[ninjapunk76]

@Blindgreed1 cheers!

[ninjapunk76]

Respond to this video... At least you used the word 'than' correctly this time. Do I detect a sign of progress?

[Blindgreed1]

@ninjapunk76 "Respond to this video..." Still getting used to using a computer huh punk? LMFAO!

[elydawat]

wtf?? this is fucking amazing.....my god... beautiful!

[HxCbeliever]

One of my faves by SYL!

[RadBrad13]

Beautiful music for beautiful people.

[TheDamnedWolfman]

The fucking chorus, man. Makes both my body hair and penis stand.

[matty5956]

his vocals are too brutal for the mics xD

[JonAriGue]

It's like Portal, but hardcore.

[fairley117]

Best band ever, I'm so dedicated I have a syl tattoo... seriously miss these guys

[darksorcerermusic]

i think ill need to "detox" my self because the "aftermath" of this "infodump" made me scream "oh my fucking god" this caused "dire" "consenquences" and a feeling of "love?"and "hope" and a sense of "spirituality" which began to "devour" my "dirt pride" so i "almost again" went to "room 429" which was on the "wrong side" of "satans icecream truck" i yelled "fucker" and stared at his "Goat" leggs and then for "two weeks" it was a "shitstorm" so i screamed "all hail the new flesh"& prayed for ZEN

[TheXxyzzyxx]

@darksorcerermusic THAT IS AWESOME whoops frieudian caps
