Everyone needs to chill out. What would everyone be expecting from a southern ontarian band who snagged the number one album in Canada? An epic video! The palms read video is brilliant. It’s basically saying “we’re busy as fuck touring our asses off, thinking about how we’re gonna top fortress, so here’s a half assed video to keep you guys busy”. These guys make great music and obviously aren’t concerend about selling out in the media department. They worked their asses of for the kezia videos to get the publicity that the needed. Now, just let them focus on touring and giving us another kick ass album.

Protests videos are pretty damn cheap and not really worth while. Sequoia throne is there worst video yet, and palms read was of the poorest quality. The only good videos they have are off kezia, the divine suicide of k, blindfolds aside and heretics and killers. It seems that almost all metal videos are crap. They’re a great band, but unfortunately their videos are tres lame.

Also, why the fuck would I sign up with MetalInjection just to comment? I was liking what I read there, too. Damn.

You win again, MetalSucks! *shakes fist*

Yet another PTH freak, sounding off. Personally I did like the video. It was celebrating sexism in metal and went so far as to cast it in a jokey, juvenile light. No women were murdered, they were just prancing around in cute getups while the camera zoomed in to get body shots.

As for the track selection, this is easily one of my favorite pieces of Fortress. Kicks the hell out of “The Dissentience,” at least in terms of listenability.

I saw these guys a few years back at the metro, I think with trivium. I yelled that they suck, and that goddamn lead singer had the fucking gonads to call me an aesthetic disaster.
I’m glad to see these guys still lick the brown one. At least the lead singer wasn’t doing the really fast left to right right to left head turn that he does on stage.

Hahaha, that video is ridiculous. It doesn’t make sense, it’s just girls dancing. Whatever, it’s a kickass song by a kickass band so I’m not too worried about it. Yeah, and Luke was wearing a SikTh shirt, which is also kickass.

It’s love budget, and it’s PTH. That’s kinda what they’re like – activists, helping out the artist community, etc. Though I think the dopey coach, and the failing dancers do have some meaning relating to the song.

dunno if its mi’s vid player but the audio sounded awful, like a bad youtube-im-gonna-play-this-song-on-my-stereo-and-lip-sync video. Love that song tho, saw them play at HOB with unearth and the absolutely slayed, albeit for 30 minutes (goddamn HOB)
Arif is a super nice dude too.

Meh, I like Protest a lot but this video wasn’t too exciting. Nothing of note. Good song though… Although I probably would’ve selected “The Dissentience” over this track. Still glad we have new output either way.
