![Welcome to Hell [HI-DEF Release]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5LQe5nR2CgM/mqdefault.jpg)
R.I.P. To one of the most forward thinking and innovative bands of all time.
Why did they split or stop making music?
@@Aaron1Ayalathey are technically in a hiatus and now each member is making their own music and will upload new music this year or the next.
We still don’t know why it happened, but from my perspective they seem in good terms, so they’ll probably comeback at some point.
@@sebastianherrera6514My guesses are probably ego issues or burnout/stress from touring. Hellfire and LP4 (now New Sound) seem like they were definitely heading towards Geordie’s preferred style and may not have compromised entirely with the styles that Cameron and Morgan were also interested in. Cameron’s solo acoustic performances are mostly folk, country and indie. They were also touring for over a year, and that might have also caused a lot of stress for them. Geordie also handled the band’s departure very insensitively after he went on Instagram live and promoted his solo album within a week of them ‘breaking up,’ despite the band agreeing to not announce it in case they do get back together
@@sebastianherrera6514 Damn, I didn't know that. I absolutely loved Hellfire and really looked forward to what they'd be doing moving forward. Definitely one of the most interesting current bands. I really hope they get together again.
this feels like something that would happen in adventure time and then never get mentioned again
DAWWWWG FACTS
saga for the super sauce in regular show type of MV
Finn and Jake going through three parallel dimensions just to come back and casually say "what the flim-flam!?" and then go back to their usual life.
this is so true, it reminds me so much of midnight gospel which is also written by Pendelton Ward
I am so glad I was able to play the cornet on this album. What an experience playing with Black Midi. Especially since they covered King Crimson. Thanks felllas!
That’s awesome! What songs are you on?
How excited should we be? ;3
Woah! I love your trumpetwork on Islands and Lizard!
i’m so excited 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Sir did you just say album...? Holy shit...
Huge Primus vibes here! Love it.
The spiritual successor to Sgt Baker
the riff and the intro groove sounds eerily similar to John the Fisherman. definitely a tribute.
thank god its not just me
go get them, son, now your life begins
to die for your country, does not win a war
to kill for your country is what wins a war
precal spotted
Finally, they have an alphabet for whatever language Greep sings in their songs
I’ll miss you forever!! 😭
The struggle continues
it's iver
Even though album 5 is better I still do come back to this often
time traveler moment
I'm more of an Album 4 guy myself but god damn this song is a classic
Bruv I prefer the 2.5 one, it had good songs on there
Album 9 was a stunningly defiant mid-career statement piece, but 5 stuck out to me as well
@@-Siwel- YES!!!
Glad we’re finally getting the Greep cinematic universe.
The way I interpreted it is that he is a stalker, stalking this girl. This girl is a relationship with another person. The boy spies on her with a camera which he hid in the flowers. The girl fins out and somehow show the guy hell. He either drugs him, or she is a goddes and literally sends him to another universe, or place. Here he is guided by an arrow, maye representing his will or his hate or something, and he gets powers by following it. There he found a device, a computer, that shows him all possible universes, which he uses to find the girl. (here fits the story of the video for Slow) With that device, he finds the start of all timelines/universes, which is the "angel of death", the biblical correct angel also seen on Slow. He kills/smashes the core containing the angel of death, which seems like an egg, or the representation of that angel. After the core is broken, the universe explodes, and the angel of death is free. Then he returns back to his own world. Here he finally found the girl, which wants to kill him. But he kisses her and then kills her. And then suddenly a God Warrior from Nausicaä spawns from the sky and eats them both.
At least I believe the guy, when he was in the other world and put in the other body, he found that computer. That computer shows timelines/universes. I think the guy was looking through all the timelines/universes to find that girl, and when he couldnt find her, her went to the origin of everything, which is the "angel of death", the biblical angerl, who spawns when the world and universe explodes in Slow, and destroys her (egg (, which is the universe?)), and thus all timelines/universes that originated from that angel or perhaps god or devil.
My story is probably very flawed. But Its a start, hopefully. Maybe you can improve some things?
the greepverse
This video literally made my jaw drop. The animation is incredible. Also good to see the hero from “Slow” return.
I think it’s setting him up to be the villain and the rabbit girl is actually the “hero”
Yeah he is the sort of creepy villain character of this one, probably representing the militaristic focus in the lyrics
I’m starting to see what you guys are saying, he seems like a stalker obsessed with the rabbit girl.
Is he a hero tho? I think it shows the corruption of obsession with the ‘slow guy’ and the rabbit girl gets too overwhelmed with hate so she decides to end it but she becomes enveloped in the hell he creates.
@@MetallicaFan5591 seems like he was the one enveloped in the hell she created, until he bites her face off
This is an amazing follow up to it's logical predecessor, "Welcome to Brixton"
best fucking comment
Quality meme.
💀💀💀💀💀
It's crazy how this band is just getting wilder with each release. This sounds like 6 songs rolled into one.
this is one of their tamest songs imo
@@S728-u9x their most accessible rock song

Wow. I recently watched Kaiba and can now tell that whoever animated this an the 2D segments of Slow were heavily inspired by Kaiba.
The pink lady 's design looks a lot like Chroniko, and the scene at 3:20 is a direct reference to a plot point in which Popo taints Neiro's memories by replacing Kaiba's face with his.
i'm pretty sure the part at 3:20 represents sal realizing that all those people are sockpuppet accounts of the incel/jerkhead
Yeah, it's unmistakable!
My thoughts exactly. The resemblance is clear! Its cool seeing Kaiba get more attention in the last few years. Id still call it an underrated gem!
LETS GOOOOOOO
Should of known u were into these guys dude! Love ur vids xxx
no way
Alex kister is into black midi?????
an unexpected guest, pleasant surprise
based Alex kister
In my opinion this is currently the most creative band around right now really amazing stuff
Every black midi song is just the most incredible thing I’ve ever listened to
They sound like they came from the underground of the 70s and listened to some modern jazz
king gizzard lol. but black midi definitely gives them a run for their money
@@gwen6622 love gizzard
@@gwen6622 I love king gizzard to death but on a lot of their songs you can clearly hear their influences which isn’t a bad thing at all it’s just that for me black midi sounds like they came from outer space lol
Here for music that sounds like hellfire era black midi
Yeah the comparisons are kind of exhausting after awhile...
This song is a perfect blend of Schlagenheim and cavalcade. Music video shows the guy from “Slow”, and the 953 riff is played at the end of the thrashy section. Kickass TBE song
timestamp to the 953 riff? dont hear it anywhere.
@@lazztronica4998 not one for one the same riff, but similar notes. Around 3:30 ish and 3:42 ish
Im so glad they got better audio engineering. I love Calvacade but my god the audio mixing was crap
@@godiebeard Idk what you’re listening on but the mixing on cavalcade is sick
@@lukecherchenko5930 I saw someone call it “digital slush” and they are sadly correct
Getting to see them live and them releasing a new single the day after that is just the best thing ever.

@@cow4741 real
yes
Utterly bonkers music video, one of the best I've ever seen. Also, mother of God, that thrash metal ending was so unexpected yet oddly fitting for the madness that Hellfire will be. Hell of an opener, Mr. Greep and friends.
yes

Héroe nacional black midi señores
I can’t believe Jerkhead got backstory. Now to spend a year trying to understand any of it. Hell yeah
If the deciphering is correct, it looks to me like he's kind of a stalker
@@pt1107 well his name wasnt friendlyface
So I watched it a few times and went back to Slow (which honestly makes it more difficult)
Obviously Jerkhead is a weird stalker and the music video seems to be about how that leads to violence or how his obsession is destructive towards the unnamed pink character. The Slow music video doesn't really give any context it just shows the end of his journey into hell/the thing in the sky and him destroying the amulet that pink hair has (which appears to protect her?). I'm sure the lyrics of Slow have some thematic relevance.
As for the lyrics of this song I think they reflect the often exploitative and misogynistic culture of armed forces. Manipulating and and abusing young impressionable men into violence and unthinking obedience can lead to further violence being inflicted on others.
I think the song and the video are ultimately about obsession and violence, best represented when jerkhead forcibly kisses pink hair and then rips off her face
@@TheLetterH111 That's what I got. I didn't think about the war part though. I also think the Pink girl's name is "Salama". That's the name it had on the site Jerkhead finds her at the "incel bar", if this is decoded properly, its a name that means peace. It could all be an ironic metaphor about wanting peace so bad that countries fight for it. Fitting, because he is surrounded by tanks facing towards Salama at the end.
He's a stalker. He plants a camera in the girls house and while at a recreational building, watches live footage of her masturbating. He posts it to social media. She goes home one day to notice a flower in her house and the video of her all over social media. Then revenge/battle.
The amount of Cardiacs influence in this song makes me smile so fucking much. Love seeing new bands still worshiping their style, Cardiacs did so much for experimental music.
Tim Smith is such a Genius and a hero. The amount chills i get when i listen to the Everso closey guarded line.
Have you heard of Tilliam Billiam? groundbreaking artist he is so great and better than Tradsh Midi
@@iloveprogrock9354 Going to check them out. Shitting on this band to do so is kinda stupid and unnecessary tho.
@@matthewkeogh8102 Absolutely!! That song is such an epic and bone-chilling closer just like The Whole World Window or Foundling.
The hellscape at 1:58 is terrifyingly beautiful
Might be an incredibly boring observation, but there's a real Mr Bungle energy to the way it switches up the genres and styles so seamlessly.
I mean I very much have been viewing Black MIDI as the next gen of bands like mr. bungle.
I would say that this has more of a Cardiacs feel but to be fair, the Bungle bois love Cardiacs so your observation isn't wrong at all.
Mr Bungle for sure but the instrumentation and chord progressions scream of Cardiacs, as do songs like Hogwash and Balderdash
Cardiacs, really
@@AliceYobby absolutely. Not exactly far fetched especially given that black midi have played with acts such as The Display Team, Spratley's Japs, and other Brixton bands whom have very close connections to that band.
That was…peak music to say the least…black midi never ceases to amaze…😭😭😭
black count

Me and my friend bonded so much over this song while it was being streamed live because i swear we've never been so excited about music and where it's going before. Thank you black midi
Hyped to get my hands on the new album!
And if you guys want to go Full Gizzard and release like five albums every year I will buy all of those too!
was just thinking about both bands and how they both have similar quality despite outputting albums at different rates (no shade to either band lmao)
@@arman2774 damn someone pissed in your coffee
@@arman2774 No it is not a Zappa thing. but i also dont agree with the KG thing either tbf. OG was quite meh and so was Fishing for fishies
@@NoCokeOnlyIce nah KGLW are not bad (oddments and im in your mind are good albums), it's just i get pissed off whenever people think of highly profilic, it's always KG eventhough there are so many other highly profilic artists who have a way better output like FZ or R Stevie Moore
No please. They should take their time with their music
PRIVATE TRISTAN BONGO

*_DISCHARGED_*
I've managed to fully learn this song before it's even come out crazy
*LISTEN!*
the sweet peals of moonlight induced lovemaking on the streets tonight!
Bro same, I had done the same thing when John L was released and the only versions you could find prior were from radio shows. Such an immaculate band
cant wait to be hearing this reggae fusion breakdown in the verse🤤
This song was insane live and it sounds superb in the recording - amazing video, too. Excellent work!
As a Filipino, Welcome to Hell's release date is eerily fitting.
Very excited for Hellfire.
💚 WELCOME TO HELL ❤️
black midi with another insanely good tune and Gustaf Holtenäs with another animated masterpiece!
Woah! This is totally out there! I can hear a beautiful mash up of The Fall, jazz, thrash metal, Captain Beefheart, prog rock, film scores, and beat poetry. This is THE BEST THING I've heard in ages! 👍👍👍👍👍
I wish I knew a word for how this makes me feel; the realisation that despite not understanding it, it deeply resonates with me. Can’t wait to see you guys play at Somerset House.
Kendrick Lamar AND now black midi? The musical gods have smiled upon us
thom york and johnny greenwood giving us a new project today as well. good weekend ahead
Death Grips about to be like hold my pentagram
The colors on their animated music videos are so nice
Love that Black Midi's finally just doing Cardiacs
Cardiacs is the best
i like how the animation had crunchy and squishy elements
A winning combination in the food world at least. Think crème brûlée.
I didn't think it'd be possible to love Black Midi more than I already did.
like once a year i will have a breakdown in tears seeing something for the first time live or right as it comes out. this was the one
I was gonna write a giant paragraph about how much I love this, but I'll just leave it brief and say this; Black Midi is fucking awesome and so this is music video. I can't wait for the new album.
starting to sound like actual Black MIDI now which means by lp 7 we'rr getting the black midi Black MIDI album
this is some beautiful Kaiba/The Thief and The Cobbler animation. that being said, this is some beautiful music.
Morgan just keeps wrecking it on that kit. I'm pumped.
oh shit BLACK MIDI MUSIC VIDEO LORE
Gotta say the animation here reminds me a lot of Masaaki Yuasa's KAIBA. Im all for it of course!
yt recommendations at their finest! you got a new follower
this song is unbelievable, i haven't delved enough into the wider world of music to understand why a song that's like 50% tritones is one of my all-time favorites now but oh my god
I'm here from buffcorrel cover, damn this song is great. glad he showed me. thanks !
3:45 Pov: le dijiste profesor longaniza al profesor jirafales
Excellent track, can't wait for this album.
When he put his hand on her shoulder and she responded by blasting him away and then turning into a giant robot..
I felt that.
Esta seguramente es una de las mejores bandas de esta epoca y este, el mejor album de 2022
Primus and Mr Bungle, Reborn and evolved, Oh so much LOUDER
If you like this, there is a high, high probability you'd love Mr.Bungle.
And also a band called Cardiacs from the UK (1980s) who played in a similar whacky, circus-ey style to this song.
so basically the guy donates a lot to her onlyfans only to find out there are others doing the same and finally getting his joker moment? incredible lmao
i feel like ive listened to this song 100 times since it came out and i just cant fuckin stop and i do not really mind
Can't wait for this new Studio Ghibli movie!
The mixing on this is incredible
HERE IT COMES
The sound immediately reminded me of Cake "Comfort Eagle" Dig this so much
Reminds me of Primeggggegg
are you deaf
I love this sick feeling
this makes me so high & crazy!!!
love from japan
You cannot fathom how much this song means to me god bless you
My favorite time of year, the end of the semester and the beginning of a new black midi album cycle
Never heard a Black Midi song in my life, but this song has made me want to hear their upcoming album. Color me intrigued, because this is awesome.
i thought slow was a masterpiece of a mv but once again this came, mv of the year so far
I choose to interpret the opening riff as a deliberate homage to John the Fisherman and I take pleasure in the potential synergy of shit I happen to like.
