Holy shit..talk about a black metal influence

 

[Fake Plastic Man]

I Hope The Rest of the album sounds better...

 

[Chromatose]

hmm.. well its different. but I do think its pretty awesome


yeah, I dunno how i'd feel if the whole album was like this song, but knowing devy, i have a feeling that won't be the case.

 

[coronerox]

Well, I liked very much the song.........Let's see if the album comes in the same direction, but anyway, it will be awsome, I think.....

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

everyone needs to relax.

one thing we can ALL agree on about devin townsend, is that he never releases the same album twice. This album is NOT going to sound like HAARAT, and this album certainly is not going to sound like CITY.

This is/was a different approach to SYL with other band members involved more, and that's fine.

I agree ...talk about a black metal influence....everything in that song sounds completely like IX Equilabrium, and lets not forget that was pretty far from black metal for Emperor, but still an amazing record in its orn right. Im also glad to see Dev got rid of the squeel in his voice and the dry lungs are prominent.

One thing about his music is the need to let it sink in, no question. Songs heard only once and written off...well that's a big mistake, ive ALWAYS thought that. After progressive listens, combined with the whole album surrounding it, the song will shine, Im sure.

Dont sweat it guys, devin has NEVER let is down.

I like the song... but I know the album isn't going to sound like that the whole way through.

People I know that have heard more than the one song love it...

 

[Extreme Deformity]

By the way, I don't hear this Black Metal influence.

 

[Ketsukusa]

thanx for the info astrochicken.
It's a good song.

Well the music is twice as evil and a bit less chaotic than City, not to mention Devin sounds like he could be a stand in for Ihsahn. I love this song.

It's too bad though, I can already see people bashing the shit out of the new SYL for not being enough like City. I've already seen quite a bit of negative feedback, but..oh well. People will be people.

 

[SpeakUSAorDie]

I freaking love the song. The BM influence is there, but I think it adds to the anger and ferocity of the song. Man this tour is going to rock.

 

[HarmonyDies....]

i think its fucking great.

 

[azal]

I fucking love it....Devin sounds sick....the production is pristine.

And I love the evil keys...I definately get the Emperor vibe.

the CD will rule....but there will be people saying...what the fuck?? it's not like City.....
all those people can go back to listening to their Bolt Thrower CDs.

 

[Fake Plastic Man]

i dont know,i dont want another 'city',but something is missing,
strapping young lad is all about 'heyshutthefuckupimtryingtomakesomesickfuckingmessoverhere',i just cant hear it on "devour",the song is great and all,but i need the fucking speed!

 

[azal]

Im sure there will be speed.....City had 3 mid/slow tempo songs

 

[Hondo]

I love the song, I didn't think about the slight BM sound to it until I read this. I don't think the whole CD will sound exactly like this, though. I hope they have some really fast stuff, but if they don't, it'll be great anyway.

It's not really that evil... and when I think Black Metal.. I think thrashy music, satanic overtones, and aggressive vocals otherwise known as "twoo" black metal... like Venom... Bathory... etc. Yes, I can hear the newer Emperor and etc. influences though.

I can't see them bashing the new SYL. I know this album is going to kill. They say it's heavier than City, so they'll have nothing to bitch about.

 

[EvilGenius]

Shit, thanks a lot for posting that link!
Awesome song: his vocals were fan-fuckin-tastic!

 

[Edgecrusher]

Sounds a lot like Zimmers Hole...

...kinda

 

[BulletRider]

To get the greatness of this song, the speakers have to be cranked. And this song is probably the "weakest" one on the cd, seeing as it is the single. I can't wait!

 

[evanft]

The song's badass.
