    i like this band

  • http://www.flamingtusk.com Zosimus

    The bassist needs to watch his stage moves lest he turn Abigail Williams into crabcore.

  • Facebook User

    I’m not afraid to admit I like this band

  • Canvas Of Flesh

    Absolute tripe.

  • taog36

    For black metal, this band seemed pretty good, most black metal sucks balls.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

      same thoughts here, I cant stand black metal (except dimmu of course) but most of it sounds horrible

      • Brandon

        Newsflash: Dummy Burger haven’t played black metal for at least 12 years.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

    This band kicks fucking ass…and yes, there are many elements of black metal in it, just because they choose to be melodic at times doesnt eliminate the fact…great symphonic keyboards, ripping guitar…. great band…what, just because they dont have stupid ass paint on their faces makes them not black metal?

    • mankvill

      No, because they’re not black metal makes them not black metal.

  • Ziltoid

    The guy making the call in this old video is more black metal than this crap:

    • Brandon

      Lulzapalooza

  • Coonsan

    I don’t really understand the utter hatred for this band. Sure, it’s not tr00 cvlt black metal from 1992, but for a more modern “black” feel, it’s pretty good. I have to say though, I like them more not watching the video.

  • F

    They are certainly not black metal, at fucking all.

  • SolaceInNothing

    You people are so pitiful.

    Obscurity is not a badge. Just because you listen to black metal that’s a decade old and originally recorded on a fucking reel or reel doesn’t mean it or you are any more kult or brutal then this band.

    Woe is the lifeless.

    • HagstromSpeed

      PERIOD, because it sounds somewhat clean and produced doesnt make it not black metal, LISTEN TO THE FUCKING KEY CHANGES THROUGHOUT!! It def doesnt sound like classic black metal, but for modern day it still rips, (listen to the album in it’s entirety and then decide) I CAN understand why a lot of you think its not black metal because it sounds nothing like generic black metal but its still death mixed with a heavy influence of black

  • alex

    who cares if its black metal or not? who cares if someone calls kirs allens new cd death metal? why do people give a fuck about genres? its just a label for bands to barrier upon. imagine metal without all these stupid fucking “cores” or death or black or whatever. bands would be more creative (like abigail williams) or mastodon and not generic bullshit.

    • http://uponwingsofblack.blogspot.com/ \m/Eluveitie\m/

      Go be righteous somewhere else motherfucker

      • scourge

        What, you and the people agreeing with you at the time the only ones allowed to have an opinion on this site?

        • SolaceInNothing

          Awe poor fucking baby. Your wannabe hate fest turned on you and now you have tears in your eyes.

          Well nobody hear said anything about you not being allowed to have an opinion HOWEVER if you think needlessly bashing a band, or simply writing things like “this isn’t (insert sub-genre hear) metal” or ” huh huh these guys are posers” constitutes as a legitimate opinion then I feel very sorry for you.

          Just because the internet gives you annonymity doesn’t mean it should be acceptable for flaming these people who bust their asses writing and practicing this music and touring out on the road. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIKE IT but for christ sake have some respect for your fellow man!

          All these posts are about is showing people that these bands are appreciated and their fans can articulate the exact reasons why they choose to listen to them as opposed to the elitist horseshit that is just as shallow as the biggest hipster scene core crap.

          • hate-crew

            YES.

          • timmah

            a+ response.

    Most of black Metal sounds bad? didn’t hear Satyricon?

    HUMANITY WILL SUFFER- BRUTAL DEATH METAL FROM ONTARIO

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

      should be called ears will suffer…it sucks lol sorry to be a debbie downer man

      • Brutalizer

        Yeah fucking right retard you know nothing

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

          and you obviously dont know what guitar lessons are, learn how to play man…and not just CHUG CHUG CHUG in drop A…fucker

          • Brutalizer

            That is actually is B standard. Train your ears. Secondly, we are playing Slam Death Metal, which is why the riffs are fairly straight-forward and simple. I am 100% capable of playing tech shit, but am just not a fan of it, personally. How long have you been playing for btw?

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

            6 years now with guitar 9 with sax

      • Brutalizer

        Got anything available for listening?

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

          Sadly no :/ trying to save for pro tools, shits $$$ though, the way I figure in this small town is thats the only way to ever make music is if I do the drums electronically and the bass and guitar myself, Ive been looking at college for dudes who play, but no luck yet

          • Brutalizer

            I hear that. Cash is always holding up the progress of music is some way or another. Ya programming stuff is fun. Gets boring after a while though.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

          And the only electronic drum set ive heard that ive really fell in love with tone wise, is the drum kit from hell which Devin Townsend used on Ziltoid the Omniscient, its FUCKING AWESOME! But so is anything that the man produces…

          • Brutalizer

            Agreed. Ziltoid is a fucking masterpiece.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

          YES! And it seems like a lot of people who know Devin for SYL, ONLY know him for that, which is sad, because his solo work has so much more passion and depth behind it… especially his tone, the shit sounds like a bright white light! Thats why I began playing in open C, because you can hit notes that you normally couldnt hit with a standard/dropped tuning (And because Devin does haha)

          • Brutalizer

            Yeah exactly. I like all of his projects, with the exception of his newest release. I have messed with open C a little over the years but not too much. Maybe I should bring it in for a song or two.

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

            Well you know the new one is one of four CDs, it was supposed to be calm and quiet and its going to get heavier and heavier (to display the shit he went through throughout the years with substances and self discovery) Its musically sound, but can get very boring at times…unless im stoned lol, then its good relaxing music…the third one is supposed to be a lot like SYL which will be EPIC! And every CD is a different set of individually hand picked musicians which is pretty exciting too..im gonna wait for the box set to come out with all of them in it, instead of buying each one individually

          • Brutalizer

            Yeah, I’ll wait for the later ones to come on as well. The slow stuff is a little too mellow for my liking.

  • Aaron

    Metal heads love to argue! Is this a psych experiment on behalf of metalsucks?

  • Brandon

    Best part = tit shots
    Worst part = everything else

  • shreddies

    who cares if its black metal or whatever sub-genre. Look at those fuckers shred. rediculous.

  • herojoe

    That was officially awesome.

  • Metal Matt

    These guys are sweet. Haters

  • JOB F.A.C SUCKS

    They’re ripping off black metal and trying to sell it to all the core kids. They’re good at playing but some people don’t give a flying fuck about that…they just want to listen to some honest music no matter how good of a musician you are…..songwriting is what makes a song not all the arpeggios and sweeps …I SAY FUCK THAT…..make honest music!!!! …..

    • SolaceInNothing

      Sorry man but I always found this type of attitude to be most amusing on this blog. I’m sure AW is really reaping the benefits of Black Metal and is now filthy rich. I find it so silly that people consider AW or JFAC to be “mainstream” bands. The only reason bands as extreme as them get such promotion is from the quality of their songs and their constant touring. There is no other way in metal.

      It’s so hypocritical to think that just because Abigail Williams or Job For A Cowboy for that matter are young American guys that they must be catering to core kids. How about this: they evolved out of the “new wave of American metal scene” (which was very coreish) and sprouted through other different influences, in this case black metal. That’s how Cannibal Corpse started, that’s how a million bands started, evolving out of their influences.

      I do not understand why people think that Black metal is so above the curve. In places like Norway and Sweden BM IS the “core” it is the “emo” It is the trendy thing to be. It’s just instead of wearing their sister’s pants their wearing their sisters make up. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing but it’s just how it is.

      All Abigail Williams is doing (just like JFAC) is combining and fusing genres and influences, which are what modern metal should be about.

      Bands like God Seed and Watain would understand that, why cant you?

  • Carnage9

    who cares if its black metal or not, this song and the entire album are amazing.

  • Masonic Wehrmacht

    This album is actually really good, that song being an exception. I’m not even gunna lie.

    I can’t find any new good symphonic shit, so maybe that’s why..

  • Justin

    i liked legend alot better, itsoats was amazing at first, but now ive gotten bored and almost a little annoyed at it. i hope they can make something REALLY good in their next release, whenever that will be.

  • satansspit

    what the fuck are saugsages

  • http://ultimateposerblog.blogspot.com Ultimate Poser Blog

    Cleavage shots FTW.

  • Strapping Young Lad

    honestly, these guys fucking rule. I don’t see what all of the bashing is about. It’s good to hear some new black metal that’s actually, well, good.

  • Edika

    Ha! I remember when I was younger about the great influential Norwegian black metal albums from Mayhem, Burzum, Satyricon, Dark Throne, Emperor and countless others. How they portrayed the evil and ugliness of the human soul and worshiped the dark one. I tried to listen to them and the only thing I could make out where chaotic noises and high pitched echo screaming and somebody banging pots (I know it was not always the case and I like the later work of Emperor where you can hear what they’re playing). So this band is not true evil true authentic honest and true black metal. It is a mix of things with actual people playing music and “scary” “ghouls” with black and white faces. And has actual music and not one chord riffs with shitty productions or most would call “atmosphere”. They sound good and I’m checking them out!

    • Strapping Young Lad

      damn straight.

  • http://www.myspace.com/ihopeyourot Dave

    Sausages?
    ‘Toki, this party is a complete and totals sausage festival’
    ‘oh! you mean like the one in vienna? I loves the sausage you know, especially the ones in…’
    ‘No, I mean like, you know….nevermind’

    I may keep this up, depending on how much I can remember from that show.

    I do enjoy this band though, incredible album.

  • metalguy

    i think this band sounds like black metal with a death metal song structure. and the drums are too loud. and i like my black metal with at least some corpse paint

    • Ben

      I didnt know you could actually look at the band members when listening to their music…unless the only way you listen to music is through music videos. Seriously, since when does their appearence have anything to do with their music?

  • pg1313

    Saw them in MTL sunday….they were pretty good

  • Sin and Death

    Most people lack the intellect to comprehend the sheer GENIUS that is Abigail Williams. You know, like people that think that “hear” is the same as “here.”

    • Canvas Of Flesh

      I’m failing to see any supposed “genius”.

      • hate-crew

        thats because you fall under the category of “most people.” plus its probably hard to “see” genius in audio.

        • Canvas Of Flesh

          That was incredibly funny. I suppose I couldn’t expect much more from an apparent Children of Boredom fan.

          • hate-crew

            i dont even like cob anymore. im into a lot more emotional stuff now…you know, Attack Attack…Brokencyde. OH and you should definitley check out Demi Lovato’s latest stuff. maybe youll “see” the genius there too! :D

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Kim-Kelly/10515129 Kim Kelly

    This band is bollocks.

  • Tommy Lindbergsen

    Calling Abigail Williams ” black metal” is like calling Metallica ” death metal”. This shit sucks and this band should break up.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Kim-Kelly/10515129 Kim Kelly

      Amen.

      • Strapping Young Lad

        they rule. you’re jealous.

  • http://zunetracks.net loganarchy

    Neither does turkey bacon. At least there’s no grease.

  • Canvas Of Flesh

    I finally got around to watching this video. It’s horrid. I can confidently say that this band and anyone who enjoys them are fucking morons.

    • hate-crew

      hhahahaha get a load of this guy hahahaha

  • Edika

    The keys have borrowed a lot of elements from Cradle of Filth though (also not true, authentic, true, evil, honest and true black metal band hehehe!)

  • G0d

    Boring!
