part 2 this time with a general call to class war
Holy shit this kicks ass. How have I never heard of them? Gonna take a place of honor on my atifash playlist.
This is not even the most kickass song on the album. Suffocate is just face melting with that Poppy duet.
Enjoy, man. Knocked Loose definitely putting the hardcore element of metalcore back at the forefront and it rules.
Youtube music sucks for recommending things. My most played station is Lorna Shore, the browning, white chapel ect. and some how these guys have never come up.
Oh, I haven’t thought about The Browning in a minute. I should go back and listen some. They seem ahead of the curve these days given all the electronic elements in the new Bad Omens and Bring Me the Horizon albums that just came out.
oh you are in for a treat!
Slaughterhouse 1 goes so hard, one of my favorite gym tunes. Maybe it’s because of that or just because the rest of this album fucks so much, but I found this track to be a bit of let down by comparison.
i initially felt the same way. but it grew on me. try this: make a playlist and play them back to back. 1 then 2.
i dived into the lyrics of 2 and realized it’s basically about bryan garris of knocked loose wanting to distance himself from politics as his band got big but then coming back around to class politics (and class warfare). chris motionless’s parts feel like they are there to keep him radicalized, with bryan finally calling for an almost Maoist style uprising in the end.
one thing i always found amazing about slaughterhouse 1 is how it would fuck so hard as a song for a music video made using Gazan resistance footage. i wish i could do video editing because i want to do this so bad. starting with “break down the wall” showing footage of Gazans bulldozing and destroying the concentration camp walls. lots of
for the breakdowns. it’s actually wild he wrote it before Oct 7 because it almost feels like an anthem for the resistanceI agree the lyrics rule, but I just don’t get that stank face, ready to run into a brick wall feeling I get from a lot of the other tracks and the first Slaughterhouse. Maybe that’s not what they were going for and it’s a me problem.
