WELL, THAT’S ONE WAY TO GET ATTENTION
Thursday, November 12th, 2009 at 3:30pm by Axl RosenbergSo let’s say you’re in a third rate metalcore band, and let’s say that you’re also in Russia, which isn’t exactly France in terms of being at the height of metal fashion right now. How do you get people’s attention? Well, putting titties in your video can’t hurt, right?
This band is called Stigmata. Needless to say, this video is NSFW.

This isn’t the Troy-core band! “Hymns to an Unknown God” is still the shit! hese guys suck!
I had no idea that titties were YouTube acceptable these days. AWESOME!
lol at the 39 sec he looks like he is gona make out with that guy lol fuck this band
This band is not that obscure, their problem is their shitty music…
If you want something good from Russia listen to Scartown, they’re amazing:

I’d say they’re pretty obscure since they’re still using this name and haven’t been served a cease and desist by the NY band who’ve used the name for about 15 years.
Ok I really don’t wanna start a discussion where I’m in defence of this bunch of fuckers… but I’ve never heard of the american Stigmata before… instead, I’ve heard some stuff regarding russian Stigmata more than once, so from my point of view the russian band is the less obscure one…
Where are you from? The American Stigmata were around from the mid/late 90s til earlier this decade and still play once in a while, I believe. They were never “big” but were definitely known and ran in the circles with Merauder, Life of Agony, Madball, etc etc They had several releases and I’m sure legal right to the name in the states.

The only Russian metal band I’ve ever heard that I liked was Butterfly Temple.
Did they pay YouTube to keep that video up? My guess is yes. Not that I’m complaining, but just wondering how much Ramstien would have to pay them to get their vid on there.
In Soviet Russia tits milk you…
There sound is soooooo interchangeable that could have easily have been any other band in the slew of “Pseudo-Death Metal” that’s been coming out… At first it really pissed me off that DM was becoming rather twisted and turned in to a cliche but the experienced music lover can surely tell the difference between a work of art and derivative dribble.
Just my two cents, not trying to come off as an elitist
i only approve cause theyre playing schecter
also
tits
Will you look at that hat!
That is an awesome video, booze and nice tits. sounds metal to me
If only their music had half as much quality as their music video did titties…then they might be onto something.
i bet every one of you watched the whole vid though.
check out these guys myspace.com/stigmahc , nearly the same name but way better sound
Another band with a completely unoriginal name.
The video was good, but without sound its hella great!
I agree. Some vids are only worth watching on mute
Looking at boobies on the internet and listening to music I like is easy enough without suffering through these guys. Next…..
Video was cool. What does the band sound like?
TITS ! I’ve turned the volume down, most of metalcore bands are shit and I do not expect this one to be any better. btw , did i mention tits ?
lol, Russia
Mechanical Poet’s Woodland Prattlers is pretty much the only album from Russia that I’ve liked, and now MP are atrocious.
Oh great, it’s Killswitch Ukraine. The music is horribly by the numbers but the titties are ok.
Killswitch Ukraine = completely hilarious. And there aren’t enough boobs in the world to make that “melodic breakdown” part palatable.
Nice wordplay, Ukraine is a separate country though.
This band has been shamelessly genre-hopping throughout their career. Starting out as a nu-metal band (on the heavier side of nu-metal, but nu-metal nevertheless), they jumped into Killswitch Ukraine-mode on their second album, and apparently are now doing the Black Dahlia Murder wannabe schtick mixed with the still accessible mall-emo sound.
I’d bet money they’ll be either doing Job For a Cowboy next or go into retro-thrash ie. Municipal Waste.
What I don’t get, however is why there’s still demand for this crap. I can understand 4 years ago when it was rare for a trendy American metalcore/hardcore band to come to Russia, and youngsters were going to local shows. But now Moscow is like a shitmagnet for all the flavor of the week metalcore/deathcore/hardcore bands to play in.
this shit reminds me of how much i hate these stupid fucking bands…
their idiot shirts they wear with the writing across the sleeves and part where your head goes through
their fucking stupid sideways parted hair
their stupidass tight little girls jeans
those stupid bro-tastic shitty at the gates ripoff guitar riffs
i could go on,but lets just say metalcore and deathcore should fuck right off back to the mall
Its like the russian version of Dead to Fall’s “Major Rager”
To be fair, titties have been a core part of successful marketing campaigns since the days when we all spent our free time carving Reubenesque goddess figurines while huddling in caves.
And don’t forget the incredible surplus of topless women in Russia. It’s difficult to find enough still and video cameras to keep them all in cheap whiskey and coke-encrusted rubles.
I like the fact that they “didn’t” steal the intro riff from The Famine’s consume devour repeat song ,also this band can’t get more generic than this
You can also mix in some “borrowed” riffs from the everyone’s favorite BMTH.
Cant argue with TITIES!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope tits become a part of the metal scene, especially after the Rammstien video. Anyone who doesnt like to see tits, is gay. Nothing wrong with that btw.
Drunk chicks!! Woooooo!!
Part of it reminded me of basshunter.
Yes, basshunter.
wtf?
So this is what became of Gorky Park?
BANG… SAY DA DA-DA-DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…
Booo. The video was pulled.
here’s the working link

-Lead singer needs to invest in a tongue scraper to get rid of that nasty ass Cream of Wheat build-up.
-I love natural titties, but is there not one Russian female who doesn’t look like she has the body of an 11-year-old boy?
-Fake lesbianism, pseudo-menage a troises, alluded-to gang bang tattoo sessions. Why does it all seem so fake and forced? It’s almost as if Bill Hicks’s marketing men AKA Suckers of Satan’s Cock stepped up and shat out a litany for the so-called “metal demographic.” It’s getting tired and old.
