WINDS OF PLAGUE FANS SIGHTED AT WARPED TOUR

 Thursday, July 29th, 2010 at 2:40pm by


I hit up Warped Tour yesterday to check out Fight Fair, Breathe Carolina, Of Mice & Men, and some of my other favorite Hot Topic bands, and one of the things that struck me was how much deathcore merch the kids were rocking. I think I saw like twenty teenage girls in Suicide Silence, Bring Me The Horizon or Whitechapel shirts, which was kind of weird. Wigged-out symphonic deathcore mainstays Winds of Plague were also repped heavily by the kids, including these these interesting-looking teens who I accosted:


Awkward Winds of Plague fanboi or the young Shane Embury??

Highly disappointing compared to the girl above who modeled these booty shorts on their merch site :( Kewl Jansport bag tho, I grew up near their factory in Everett, WA. PNW4L!

The Mona LisaThis bro fuckin’ loves Winds of Plague. So do I. We are brutal deathcore bros!

Mark my words, this will go down as a mosh classic to rival Terror and Irate!

Keep your ears peeled for the new Winds of Plague album — last I heard it was going to drop around December, and features a return to mosh anthems like “Reloaded” and “Brotherhood.” I can’t think of a better way to spend the winter than moshing my balls off!

    I’m in high school and Whitechapel, Suicide Silence and JFAC shirts are everywhere as much as Emarosa, Confide and Sky eats Airplane shirts are. And I love it when those screamo loving scenesters look absolutely mystified at my Wolves in the Throne Room t-shirt.

      They don’t love screamo. I’m sure all of those kids don’t even know what real screamo is. It’s a shame too.

      • http://www.flamingtusk.com Zosimus

        Are… are you calling people out for not being tr00 screamo fans? Really? Screamo? Jesus fucking christ.

      Wolves in the Throne room? Saw them live once. Sucked big time.

      • pete

        Never listened to their album, but when they opened for Shrinebuilder, they were pretty fuckin awesome

      • GoingDeaf?

        Wolves were great when I saw them…. though I think they would translate more in a small, intimate venue instead of where I saw them…. or…uh… maybe a forest show. :)

        this doesn’t make sense to me.

  • no-ghost

    what fucking bands are you talking about? god I must be getting old, kids and their damn music, with their fancy am fm radios. ah oh well….. fart

  • Clown Baby

    Crazy…it’s almost like the people that go to the Warped Tour like other bands that aren’t on the Warped Tour. Who would’ve guessed?

    • M.

      that or they just don’t wear band shirts of any of the bands playing. that is somewhat of an unspoken rule. you don’t go see Slayer in a Slayer shirt.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Luke-Darrah/1298952081 Luke Darrah

        Exactly!!!!

      • Monochrome Sound

        lol wut? Why shouldn’t you? I’ve seen plenty of people (including myself) wear a t-shirt of the same band that’s playing that concert.

        Hell, I never seen Slayer live, but there was an assload of people that wore their Slayer shirts to the Big Four showing I went to.

        • DemonicLemming

          It’s one of those unwritten rules, like not going to the urinal directly next to a guy already taking a piss.

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ross-King/585314817 Ross King

            Never, ever, heard of that one. I always try and wear the shirt of the band I’m going to see. Normally an older shirt too, so no one can buy the same one I’m wearing there lol.

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ross-King/585314817 Ross King

            I’ve heard of the urinal one obviously lol

          • zen dudeist

            But if you don’t pick the next urinal, how’re you gonna check out the dude’s shmeckle?

      • Aaron

        Well actually, since it’s Slayer you can. But your rule is correct for most other bands.

  • fictional_pulp

    Mumbo Jumbo

  • Beavis

    who gives a fuck about t-shirts. and who gives a fuck about those kids.

  • Genial Gentile

    …and much butthurtage ensued.

  • Mastobater

    Everett is a fucking a dump, you grew up there?

    • http://www.stuffyouwillhate.com/ Sergeant D

      Yes I did haha. It is a total dump, if I ever set foot there again it will be too soon! I do like other parts of Snohomish County though- Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace are great.

      • Mastobater

        I grew up there as well, on the wrong side of the Boeing factory to be more specific. Like you I’m glad I’m nowhere near that area, anyways cheers for being Washington folk!

      • Cisco

        Word, I grew up in Lynnwood and attended Edmonds Woodway, Mountlake Terrace High and then Scriber before I dropped out of high school. I live in Texas now, but every once in awhile I miss home.

        Sarge, are you still in the Northwest?

        • http://www.stuffyouwillhate.com/ Sergeant D

          No, sadly I haven’t lived there for about 6 years. Still go back to visit my family from time to time tho!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dan-Burton/784250631 Dan Burton

    That track could quite easily have featured on a Merauder album (in a good way) until the bass drop breakdown materialised.

    That backpack says wolfcreek not jansport…

    • http://www.stuffyouwillhate.com/ Sergeant D

      I just noticed that– BRAND IDENTIFICATION FAIL on my part

      • Cryzthormagnusian

        But, Wolf Creek is a brand name under the Jansport company. So, you are full of WIN! again.

  • Matt S

    wow, dumb high schoolers at warped tour like shit music? GTFO!

    • steelie

      I know, I’m all kinds of shocked now

      Here was me thinking dethcore was a genre only revered by 30 year olds with beer guts and no ear tunnels in sight

  • dude

    LAME!

  • http://www.myspace.com/severed Tonberry

    Long story short, Sergeant D told the Jansport chick that he’d make her internet famous, took a pic, then proceeded to dig her back out.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Alejandro-Aldana/683878171 Alejandro Aldana

      word. how’d you take that picture w/o having the girl think you were only doing that to beat off to it later?

      • http://www.stuffyouwillhate.com/ Sergeant D

        I was surprised she let me take it haha, esp since her boyfriend is standing right next to her. She probably thought I was in one of the shitty deathcore bands who played Warped.

    • Cryzthormagnusian

      That backpack easily looks like the most appealing thing hanging off of that body.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dave-Colbert/535041444 Dave Colbert

        hahahahahaha!!!!

  • builtforsin

    Look at all those fat fuckers! Must of been in the midwest!

  • Cryzthormagnusian

    Is it just be or is there a ghostly “L” over the Shane Embury kid’s forehead? It’s like the forces of the universe even think this kids is a loser.

  • Andy Synn

    Certain trends of “deathcore” do seem to be more about the merch than anything else though.

    I’m sure it’s been the same in many other scenes throughout the years, looking “the part” becomes more important than legitimately expanding your musical horizons.

    I’m sure i’m just as bad at creating my own musical ghetto though.

  • wtfhax

    I can never tell if Sergeant D actually likes these shit bands or not.

    • http://www.stuffyouwillhate.com/ Sergeant D

      I like WOP, don’t like most of other deathcore bands. Suicide Silence are good, but I have to be in the mood to listen to them. Absolutely hate Whitechapel, JFAC, Carnifex, etc- the riff salad bands.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dave-Colbert/535041444 Dave Colbert

        Whitechapel is the only band you just listed that are half-way decent, fail.

      • steelie

        Surely JFAC have more in common with straight up death metal than deathcore these days

        • http://www.stuffyouwillhate.com/ Sergeant D

          Yes, they do. Sadly they went from OK deathcore to an incredibly generic riff salad DM band that would be right at home on Unique Leader. They seem like cool kids, so I’m not hating, but after 20 years of listening to DM, I need something more than that to get onboard as a fan.

          • Andy Synn

            Oh Sarge… Winds Of Plague though? Surely you could have chosen someone less faux-tough guy in attitude?

            In the (paraphrased) words of Mr Hank Hill…

            “Can’t you see you’re not making hardcore better, you’re just making black metal worse?”

            Seriously though, I enjoy the different perspective.

  • ryan d.

    i love whitechapel.
    but jfac, suicide silence, bring me the horizon, and winds of plague fucking suck in my opinion. i cannot stand those bands.

  • B-dizzle

    It is not a mosh classic, it’s a fucking terrible song and hugely embarrassing to listen to. Don’t spew ridiculous shit

  • Isaac

    I really hope you don’t consider “br00t41 hXc d4nc1ng” to be moshing.

  • Alex

    WOP suck. Like most of the bands you promote.

  • Type-O-Positive

    am I the only one who thinks Winds of Plague and The Red Chord use the same font for their logos?

    BREATHE CAROLINA? ARE YOU GAY?

    • http://www.stuffyouwillhate.com/ Sergeant D

      No, but Alex from Fight Fair said I have the musical taste of a 14 year old Hot Topic scene kid. He was right.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Tomis/621582836 Peter Tomis

    i picked up my little bro from middle school a few weeks ago and some kid was wearing an amon amarth shirt

    • Jenna

      THAT IS AWESOME

  • DemonicLemming

    I’m surprised more of the fatty-lovers on this site haven’t jumped in here yet, drooling over Ms. Armpit-Tits.

    A shitty, trendy-bands-only show has shitty, trendy bands and stupid kids wearing shitty, trendy band clothing, and Sarge D covering more shitty, trendy music and enjoying it. This is news….why?

    I’m really starting to become a fan of eugenics.

    i want a girl willing to model shorts like that for me all and every day.

    but i do not care for WOP. :/
