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

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

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.

  2. David says:

    My brain just exploded.

  3. DidgeryDo says:

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

  4. canea says:

    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.

  5. aaron m. says:

    scared the crap out me.

  7. Alex says:

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

  8. groverXIII says:

    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.

  9. Jugglemonkey says:

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

  10. Uglymicrowave says:

    landscaping is defintly metal

  11. DidgeryDo says:

    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 :)

  12. hayisforhorses says:

    Hey no love for Deathspell Omega?

  13. Ryan says:

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

  14. Zombie(really) says:

    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…….

  15. slayer boner says:

    This is the greatest thing ever…hahahahaha

  16. SonOF says:

    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.

  17. groverXIII says:

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

  18. wata says:

    High school project?

  19. Nate says:

    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.

  20. NanoViking says:

    The drums are obviously done by computer

  21. metalguy says:

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

  22. WowWee! says:

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

  23. DannyJD says:

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

  24. Sin and Death says:

    Is this some sort of sick joke?

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

  26. Damn you, Garageband!!!! DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. djabthrash says:

    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

  28. djabthrash says:

    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.

  29. MetalMeatHammer says:

    France? Try the Multiverse babies

  30. Viking-Shredder says:

    That girls vocals just piss me off. I don’t know about any of you guys, but I just wanna punch someone now!

  31. djabthrash says:

    Just found out they changed their band name to “Missing Angel” and have a myspace page :
