WINDS OF PLAGUE FANS SIGHTED AT WARPED TOUR

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


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!

    And no one cared.

  • Ares says:

    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.

  • no-ghost says:

    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 says:

    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. says:

      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.

      • Monochrome Sound says:

        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 says:

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

      • Aaron says:

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

  • fictional_pulp says:

    Mumbo Jumbo

  • Beavis says:

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

  • Genial Gentile says:

    …and much butthurtage ensued.

  • Mastobater says:

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

    • Sergeant D says:

      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 says:

        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 says:

        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.

      • Nate says:

        Sarge, are you still in the Northwest?

  • Dan Burton says:

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

  • Alex Warner says:

    That backpack says wolfcreek not jansport…

  • Matt S says:

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

    • steelie says:

      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 says:

    LAME!

  • Tonberry says:

    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.

  • builtforsin says:

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

  • Cryzthormagnusian says:

    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 says:

    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 says:

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

    • Sergeant D says:

      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.

      • Dave Colbert says:

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

      • steelie says:

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

        • Sergeant D says:

          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 says:

            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. says:

    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 says:

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

  • Isaac says:

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

  • Alex says:

    WOP suck. Like most of the bands you promote.

  • Type-O-Positive says:

    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?

  • Peter Tomis says:

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

  • DemonicLemming says:

    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.

    Does anyone else find it funny that this chick has “winds of plague” over her asshole?

  • Old Skool Metal says:

    Wow, that sucked.

  • I have those same panties :-)

  • Tre says:

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

    but i do not care for WOP. :/
