WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE EXTRA IN ANNOTATIONS OF AN AUTOPSY’S “STAGE BREAKER” VIDEO?

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011 at 10:30am by

In Annotations of an Autopsy’s new video, for the song “Stage Breaker,” the band plays on a rooftop for a crowd of about thirty fans. Vince and his girlfriend threw a rooftop BBQ last summer and more people showed up, so maybe if Annotations of an Autopsy had given their extras free food and promised not to play awful deathcore, they would have attracted a larger crowd.

Then again, if they attracted a larger crowd, we wouldn’t have the benefit of getting to pick various extras and watch them with great specificity. A few of my favorites:

  • The Juggalos. Or maybe they’re just dudes in clown make-up. In any case, at this point you shouldn’t wear clown make-up to a concert unless you’re a Juggalo. Otherwise it’s just like wearing a white sheet over you’re head even though you’re not in the KKK. People are gonna get confused, and trouble will ensue.
  • The dudes in wigs. Why are there dudes in wigs? Just to be “fun?” To make it appear as though there are more women in the group? There actually do seem to be at least three or four real live ladies in the crowd, so it must just due to the aforementioned desire to convey a feeling of “fun.”
  • Speaking of women — the girl in the green dress on the left side of the screen must be someone’s girlfriend or something, because she’s totally out of place. She’s dressed respectably, she has as much rhythm my mom enjoying 80′s-era Rod Stewart at a bar mitzvah, and there are more than a few shots where she appears to be bored out of her fucking skull:

Who’s your favorite extra in the video? Weigh in with your thoughts below!

  • Fred Durst

    I feel sorry for the drummer. Every time he tries to eat a burger, the vocalist steals it.

    • Matias

      lol the vocalist banned me from their facebook because I told them they were brocore and said “Have fun touring with Emmure”

      • Dave

        the vocalist doesnt run the page…

    • killthedecoy

      ZING!

    LMAO

    • canea

      yupe. he was my pick too. he makes another good appearance @ 1:56.

      Did he just get off the bus from the cuhn-try?

      • Balles de Merde

        Florida, maybe? He looks like he has that Seminole Chop down like a boss.

    This video absolutely shocked me when i first saw it. I had no idea what they looked like, and I’ve only heard their last album once. But I remember it being halfway decent old school death metal. How did they go from that to looking and sounding just like Emmure, except twice as embarrassing?

    • fantasyoosh

      I have to disagree, this is not twice as embarassing as Emmure. Not good by any means, I don’t want to rupture my ear drums listening to it.
      I also have to wonder if the stringsmen in this band don’t have/know a tech or someone who knows about guitars. Because the strings on their guitars are so loose, it’s no wonder they can barley play anything but breakdowns

      • R4ze

        There’s a chance that lighter gauge strings were put on for the video strictly for that floppy string shot.

        Honestly though, I wouldn’t doubt if they played in Drop A with .9′s

        Deathcore… xD

        • John

          That’s just a slower frame rate. The strings on a guitar really do vibrate that much, it’s just too fast to see.

      • http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com J Bobski

        I think they are just going for an effect with the floppy string shots, kind of like Pantera did on the 5 Minutes Alone video. That song’s only in a D but they have some ridiculous floppy string closeups

        And yeah the song is not twice as embarrassing as Emmure, but visually I think they are…the whole band looks ridiculous

    • horse blanket

      Are you thinking of the band Autopsy?

    • treghet

      Old school death metal? Not even close.

  • JoeTheRipper

    Holy crap that sucked.

  • builtforsin

    When will the 1st fret, single E string bar chord die? FUCK.

  • JFell

    I wonder if Erik Rutan regrets producing their last album. He should: he’s waaay too good for a shit band like these guys.

    • Zsa Zsa Gabor’s amputated leg used as a dildo and a bludgeon to beat people to death with

      There’s a rumor Erik Rutan likes Evanescence.

      • Schnoor

        There is a rumor that people like artists from other genres of music.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Christian-Kragh/1346580349 Christian Kragh

    Wow, that was ridiculously bad. Look at those improperly gauged / ridiculously low tuned strings wobble all over the place haha too funny

  • Jizzmaster3000

    I believe i’m ready to tab out every Deathcore song ever created.

        just played it.. sounds like you nailed it man 100%

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ian-Wilmot/1177765489 Ian Wilmot

    i thought this band went generic melodeath with their last album(from what i heard)
    guess they decided they liked playing breakdowns more

  • Jewers

    The drummer attempts to drink whilst playing at 2:11 to look hardcore and fails miserably

  • dr swchine-hoot

    WTF is this shit? I also thought there last, erik rutan produced album was fairly descent… But this is just bad! Another band who gives into whats popular with 14 yr olds, just for the instant gratification of maybe selling a few more records, and then going on warped tour… Get F’d!!

  • CaptainDa

    This is awful.

    I forgot how to read and thought this was a video for Autopsy. I clicked the video, heard chugga chugga dun and realized I’m an idiot.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Richard-Labranche/1106303437 Richard Labranche

    I really enjoyed their last release, but this is gross.

    • Murf

      Same dude, what the fuck happened

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Seth-Jones/736964211 Seth Jones

        death core is a fucking virus inftecting everything, turning it to piss and shit.

        • Murf

          Well, good to see The Black Dahlia Murder is fighting off that bullshit

  • Zsa Zsa Gabor’s amputated leg used as a dildo and a bludgeon to beat people to death with

    Do bands like this even know how to play anything higher than beginner level?

  • Lucifersmile

    FATxCORE fuck fat people

  • Lucifersmile

    To be fair, ANYONE picking up a guitar can play Sabbath songs, so the technicality issue is moot. But that fat?! Homeboys need to lay off the chips and gravy.

  • http://www.schenkeltown.com SchenkelTown

    my favorite part of the song is when the guitar goes chug chug real fast and then slows down with chug chug

    • cougar party

      I really like the part where they pause for a second, then start chug chugging again. Sick, bro.

  • ittoa666

    I thought this band was away from the cheesy deathcore. Fuck this.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Will-Morley/618112437 Will Morley

    Their last album definitely wasn’t good but it was much more death-y than this. Fucking hell, this is terrible.

  • noobpotato

    Their last album i thought was pretty good. This is childish shit.

  • paul

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • Darth Brooks

    THIS IS GARBAGE.

    Bring on a new Morbid Angel EP if this is what’s going on out there with the kids.

  • sweatdripsfrommyballs

    So Fat Joe is in a deathcore band now? hmm

  • im feeling cunty

    when did frankie from emmure join annotations of an autopsy??

  • Grind

    I thought they went death metal but this looks like emmure?!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jeremy-Webster/100000619063660 Jeremy Webster

    Hope the drummer passes his tapeworm soon.

  • ALCOHOLOCAUST

    I wasn’t sure this band could suck anymore than the previously did, today i am very sure of that. I like the corpse paint guy and the juggalo.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Scott-Allen/1188338339 Scott Allen

    This shit make me pine for the good ol’ days of Nu-Metal. I can’t imagine Gold Cobra being this shitty…well I guess I can. Why don’t kids learn how to play guitar before they start a “band” or write “original” music. I can’t stand this shit at all!!!

  • Sambo

    This is a bonus track on Emmure’s new album. You just don’t hear it because it sounds like every song Emmure has done.

  • Plasmaterial

    So their foray into “true” death metal lasted one album did it…

  • cheryl666

    Cheesy and awful.. This band is so awkward

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jamie-Chorley/100000163574786 Jamie Chorley

    i genuinely hope annotations of an autopsy are ashamed of this. im sure there will be many “haters gona hare” comments, but if at any point in your career you find yourself tempted to rip off emmure, then you are completely artistically bankrupt. its just music for confused teenagers who are still angry at their dads for the lack of hugs they received as children. utterly pathetic mess of a song

    • Pop Punk Destroyer

      HAHA Jamie you legend, who was that hot austrian in roper hall tonight? DAYUUUMMMMMMMMM

      Yeah this band blow. I saw the singer in Leeds train station and thought I could beat you in a fight.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Sam-Arundell/580195009 Sam Arundell

    3:21, the awkward ‘acting drunk’ dude in the Martyr Defiled tee. Haha

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Sam-Arundell/580195009 Sam Arundell

      Actually, 1:04, checked shirt, I think someone already put it?

      I reckon the singer has broken some stages in his time anyway…

    • Android

      Martyr Defiled is fucking awesome. Shame they’re getting such terrible press in this video.

  • Android

    Man, gang chants are so br00tal! I wish they would’ve recorded ALL of the vocals with gang chants! And there aren’t enough first fret tritone chords… I just never get tired of those! Overall, a solid effort from one of the most exciting bands in the modern metal scene!

  • arko

    HA HA is this the playground page ??? ,how pathetic but i bet the band are loving all the attention. Looks like you guys are taking it more seriously than they obviously were.
    MY FAVOURITE EXTRA’s ARE THE HATERS THEY ARE AS FUNNY AS FUCK.

    Can’t believe that this site has lowered its self to the dephs of the haters ,I have now removed this site from my favourites ..It sucks

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael-Tree-Smith/661565910 Michael Tree Smith

    Watching this video, I am thoroughly disappointed in AOAA right now. I was hoping that they were going into a more death/ less “Yo bro, let’s do breakdowns until we shit our own dicks” type of deal.

    Anyway, there’s a Borat copycat with a red wig at 0:47; At 1:12, he gets a quick cunnilingus tickle by some random scene bitch. I guess, underaged teens do it better.

    Also, pause at 1:09, see that the vocalist is at the front and at the back of the meager group of about thirty people, as pig face. I can almost say that piggy was my fave, reminding me that here in North Carolina, there’s a Piggy Wiggly wherever you need one.

    The “stomp” with brand new Charlie Taylors at 2:43 was almost br00tal enough for me to yawn or scratch my balls.

    I would like to say br00tality happens about 3:14. when the local police arrived in concern to a “domestic disturbance” or in other words, “haters” being “haters”, or the bass and guitars being in some random chicks’ hands at 3:54 during “breaktime?”, or how out of sync the bassist looked with his br00tal string bend at 4:14, it’s hard for me just to choose one.

    Last thing, pause on the bassist (I think), is that an evil Hello Kitty or Skelanimals deal tattooed on his arm? Hmm, my ex would be jealous. Fuck.

    I thought their last record was more death metal what the fuck is this?

  • friggo100

    Get over it guys, it’s a take off of Emmure , the EP contains a machine head cover (ten ton hammer) I dont think it they ever intended it to be an AOAA release.
    They have had a lot of changes in the band tand hey have been off the radar all this year no tours or release’s and what a way to to get your name all over the internet and get people talking and get your name back in peoples heads. Theese guys are not stupid they have been around the music scene for many years and thrive on all the slagging they get and have had over the years so why should they worry its all publicity.

  • friggo100

    ONE LAST THING I DO AGREE WITH “ARKO” THIS SITE IS A DISGRACE FOR LOWERING IT’S SELF TO THE LOW DEPHS OF THE SERIAL HATERS .

    SHAME ON YOU ,TO ME IT MAKES YOU WORSE THAN ANYTHING AOAA HAVE DONE , THIS SITE IS THE SAD EXTRA TO DECENT SITES

  • starkie22

    Maybe this site should get facts right before stooping the dephs of cheap desperation to draw people into its site.
    I was there and theese are freinds not fans .it was a great party and as it was on a roof terrace thats all the people the roof could take … maybe the posters freinds are all greasy long haired ikes dressed in black from head to toe all nodding to the same old shit.
    well some people have a larger circle of freinds who are not stereotype droids.

    I know that people are gonna hate me as soon as i start, so imma go all out on this.

    I like the song, ok its not musicly brilliant, but its what aoaa are good at, thier latest album was a really average attempt at death metal, they made it pretty clear that they’re not really keen on “reign…” themselves, and they obviously want to stay part of the hardcore scene, HERES WHERE YOU START HATING ME… as a person that enjoys pretty much all metal and hardcore (and a few other things) i’ve noticed that the metalhead community these days tends to be obnoxious and judgemental, the music’s great, just the fans have began to make the whole thing incredibly difficult to enjoy, the hardcore scene however tends to be far more personal, also theyre respectful and fairly open minded, i can see why aoaa whent back to being deathcore. done. rile me up more!
