MOVE OVER, GOJIRA: LAST POEM IS NOW FRANCE’S BEST METAL BAND

Friday, October 9th, 2009 at 10:00am by

I really, really, sincerely, with all my heart and all my soul, wish that there was a version of this video with running audio commentary by the director.

My sincerest thanks to djabthrash. You changed my life… forever.

I’m having a hard time finding anything else about this band on the internet. If anyone has any leads, please let me know. I must know more. I MUST.

    Sarcasm duly noted.

    My brain just exploded.

  • DidgeryDo

    Now I’m waiting for some Metalsucks ball-lickers to agree with this despite how completely awful it is.

  • canea

    Nothing says hardcore like fist-pumping over the computer keyboard.

    And hey, now we know how the really great metal band lipsync their videos: headphones hidden in their shirts.

      Shame they don’t hear the drums playing though

      • WetBiscut

        Don’t be so close-minded! they’re thinking outside the box.

    Nice joke.

      And for the record Gorod is France’s best metal band.

      • dan wolfson

        Nice joke. Scarve.

        • http://www.last.fm/user/groverXIII groverXIII

          Pfft… Scarve is okay, but Gorod is a hell of a lot better.

        • Sam

          Seconded to the max.

          • Trux

            what ??!!…. are you leaving Trust out of this argument ??

            Geeeezzzz….

    • Gunnar

      Of course Gorod is france’s best metal band. anyone who disagrees is just ignorant.

        you know, if you weren’t so cute, i would tell you to shove your safari up your ass.

  • doucheyb

    scared the crap out me.

  • Alex

    Anyone ever fucking heard of Augury? THAT’s France’s best metal band. Gojira is right below.

    • http://www.last.fm/user/groverXIII groverXIII

      Augury is good… not the best.

    • Ho Ho The Eskimo

      hurrrrrr
      augury is from Montreal, which is not currently located in France

    At first when I heard the drums (which is probably what it would sound like if I played drums, seeing as I have absolutely zero sense of rhythm) I thought it was a joke. Then, I heard the vocals, and knew that not only was this not a joke, it was THE MOST BRUTAL THING EVER.

    Now, if I only knew what the storyline of this video was supposed to be… because I have no idea.

      I’d say: shitty sync’ing – plowing(?) – shittier snyc’ing – writing songs whilst acting like the camera is not there (failed) – shittiest sync’ing – almost being recruted by the least military-esque woman I’ve ever seen – end shitty song.

      I suppose it’s suposed to portray the average life of an average human being: working hard (right) –> having dreams and ambitions –> dreams being broken by authorities.

        I love it when the chick dressed like an old lady comes in and starts hitting him… that was funny.

    • exanimate

      Isn’t it obvious? He is doing his chores and homework.

      Fucking ChoreCore!

      • Viking-Shredder

        That cracked me up!

        Chorecore! Blamo!

        These guys are top notch.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-J-Harrison/1095943638 David J Harrison

        OMG!! That was hilarious.

  • Jugglemonkey

    is the drummer even playing the same song? sounds like lars ulrich.

    • rattlehead

      My thoughts exactly…..Chorecore!

    • Matt

      +50 points.

  • Uglymicrowave

    landscaping is defintly metal

  • DidgeryDo

    The funniest thing to me is not even the joke. It’s the fact that we are arguing about the best metal
    band in France. Gojira is one of my all time favorites now but imagine this conversation six years ago :)

  • hayisforhorses

    Hey no love for Deathspell Omega?

  • Ryan

    the drumming is SICK!!! that must be dave lombardo behind the kit.

  • Zombie(really)

    Finely, out of the sea of shitty metalcore and deathcore rises a band to shred out faces off!

    I have never heard anything as brutal as “Last Poem”..My god, even the name is almost too brutal to say aloud…….

  • slayer boner

    This is the greatest thing ever…hahahahaha

  • SonOF

    Holy shit, learn how to play music and/or write a song before you make a video for public viewing! What a disaster. Is that guy doing yard work at the beginning of the video? Thats brVtal.

  • http://www.last.fm/user/groverXIII groverXIII

    Ziltoid used to love these guys, but now that they’re on here they’re too popular and weedily weedily for him.

  • wata

    High school project?

  • Nate

    Trepalium is the best french metal band… Who else has funk and boogie influences with death metal? I mean, they do scatting and have a sax solo for fucks sakes.

  • NanoViking

    The drums are obviously done by computer

    • http://www.myspace.com/uglydirge aaron m.

      actually, they have a real drummer.

    • http://www.last.fm/user/groverXIII groverXIII

      If they were using a computer, it would have to have been a Windows ME box…

  • metalguy

    METALSUCKS!!!!!
    you have i more before i fucking flip.
    you can do another in about a month. Axl you know what im talking about

    • metalguy

      1 more!!!!

  • WowWee!

    If the Intro wasn’t bad enough The vocals made it even more funny

  • DannyJD

    Dude. Just checked their Myspace…
    I think their cover of My Own Summer is key to waking Chi from his coma.

  • Sin and Death

    Is this some sort of sick joke?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Andrea-Voulgaris/663407462 Andrea Voulgaris

    it sounds kinda like they tried to write in 7/4 and epicly failed.

  • http://www.theblacklaser.net Joe The Wizard

    Damn you, Garageband!!!! DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

  • djabthrash

    Holy crap i didn’t know this video would get that much comments when i sent it to you guys :)

    I’m glad you put such a headline to lure people into checking that video :)

    If i find more videos that compete with that one in terms of TERRIBLENESS i’ll send it for sure.

    By the way the guy who sent me that video is Fred, the singer from the French band EYELESS. You should check them out they’re really great and underestimated IMO (no joke here :) ).
    New album has been mixed by Jason Suecof, and has Mark Hunter (Chimaira) and Doc Coyle (God Forbid) doing some guest stuff on it. The album is expected to be released early 2010.

    Check’em out : http://www.myspace.com/eyeless

  • djabthrash

    And i think the band is called “Dark Insulation” and not “last poem” by the way :)
    If that’s the case, no wonder you didn’t find shit on them on da interwebz.

    • djabthrash

      Oh snap in the end you were right the band is really called last poem. They have some kind of a youtube page but there’s no other REAL music video… for now :)

  • Viking-Shredder

  • djabthrash
