I'm new to the band and it's all I listen to. I heard they've been around forever and I'm not sure how I've not heard of them. The man sings his heart out, it's like you know you're in for a good time.
I'm happy their were one of the biggest of the Southern Hardcore era in the early to late 2000's, but I think core kids weren't ready for their more Rock albums, which sucks, they're so good at blending core and Rock without making it Octanecore at all.
Guys, your WHITE BAT album is the best thing I've ever heard since IT HATES YOU. You are the most underrated band of the 21st century. I love your creativity. Your fan since 2002
Piotr Szambelan i played in the band before the name change. We were called Uriah Omen. I was a fan before, during, and since. They are a sick band and very underrated.
Saw them at the loving touch in Ferndale, we rocked it! The whole crowd was loving the Hollyweird anniversary tour, honestly out of all the times I have seen them live I think that was the best and cleanest vocals I've heard from them live! I hope Chicago also rocked out hard!
Just saw them tonight, and same. Everyone had a great time and the whole crowd knew every lyric. I can't believe I've been into this band for 20 years now, they're truly something else.
34 here and I completely agree. Dude, I've loved this band since I was about 19 and saw them a few years ago for the first time. I got so moved by the performance and was able to meet Schuylar after the show. I didn't have enough money for a shirt, so I gave him what cash I had in my pocket (which was $10), and told him how much their music has meant to me over the years. It was surreal.
I'm totally with you bro, I heard them when I was maybe 20 and thought, why the hell aren't these guys on the front of magazines? And only just getting back into them again now, realizing their stuff has only gotten better over the years. That track 'sands' is off the charts. I'm atheist and HIL is produced by a Christian label, so I'm as unbiased as they come
Maylene unfortunately probably wont ever happen. Dallas Taylors accident sadly left the dude barely able to function on a day to day let alone be on a stage. A miracle would be fucking amazing though.
john osucha I kinda get where you’re coming from. I really enjoyed the first couple of releases, but after that they weren’t much different than Memphis May Fire to me.
I listened to these guys when I was 19 in 2005. I discovered them because of a hot topic dvd they gave out for free. It had a bunch of music videos on it. It had “the seduction” music video from I am Hollywood. I bought that album and jammed it for a while. I honestly just forgot about these guys. Well I randomly thought of them because I was in a nostalgic mood. I went back and listened to their I am Hollywood album. Then I saw they had new stuff so I checked it out. I’m so happy these guys are still a band. This song and all their new stuff is fucking amazing. They have grown so much and you can tell in their music. But you can still hear that original sound as well. This is highly underrated and some good shit!
Check out "It Hates You" too, first album they kinda left the "southern metalcore" kinda thing they were doing on the first two albums. IMO a top 100 of all time album.
Forever my favorite band. So unique and so talented. Every album made me happy for different reasons, but White Bat made me smile with pure nostalgia. It brought me back to Suck Out The Poison. Still got it! Love you guys.
Been listening to these dudes since the beginning. One of the greatest bands that more people need to know about without them falling into mainstream. ❤️
One of the most unique and mesmerizing bands I've ever listened to. Still listening almost 20 years later. My neighbors keep their Christmas decorations up year long and I always think of HIL...
I saw these dudes live on accident going to a local concert. they blew me away, singer had a vest on that was way to small for him and the drummer was the sickest man behind the kit I have ever seen. I have been a fan ever since probably over a decade now. ill buy anything they put out.
Almost everyone says they're under rated. . . . . . THEY ARE NOT. For those gifted with listening to them think they are amazing. No one dislikes this band. No one
THEY CALL ME WHITE BAT!!!! I asked can I buy you tots at the bar and Schulyar was so nice and said no you don't have to.. I said I've loved your music for so long.. we drank top self whisky and talked about the life on the road.. took a pic with a piece of paper I made before the show saying "Josh this is amazing!" Josh was a guitarist in a band I grew up with that loved this band too. One of the best nights! I'm strong and you guys helped me get there! Thanks beyond words. I'll be there with more friends at the next show!
Saw these guys with my kids (8 and 12) and thought they were great. Super super nice guys. Music was solid as a rock. Go see them with While She Sleeps and Savage Hands this tour!
Two bands that I never get tired of: He Is Legend and Maylene and The Sons of Disaster. I feel like their music goes hand in hand representing Southern Metal 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻.
I met these guys back in the day. They were opening for someone... i can't remember anymore, but I do remember that they stole the show. They were cool as hell. After their set was over they went out and chilled in the crowd. That's where I got a chance to meet them. Excellent music. I'm so glad they're back.
Killer track dudes!! I Am Hollywood is one of the greatest albums I have heard till this day, this track comes as close to that feeling I get from that album.
So much attachment to i am hollywood snd suck out the posion.... been a long time fan and gravitate to those records once or twice a month easy for the past 15 years
Yea man, he was working at our local music store in Wilmington NC. Had a snowboarding accident last year and wasn't able to recover. He was such a good dude. You're terribly missed brother...
saw these guys feb 21 in a super small venue in ny. they’re so interactive with fans and also amazinggg live :) they were also with norastone, savage hands, and while she sleeps and i was so happy with how much they all interacted with the crowd.
This is selfish towards fans and the band it self. Basically by keeping this band your, "forever hidden gem", you are potentially depriving a person of the same joyful feelings that you have simply because you want to being a fucking hipster dufus who can be like, "HUR HUR GUIZ! I KNOW OF MOOZIK U DONT!!!!? Well Newsflash, they may not be mainstream but still a fuck ton of people know about them so they aren't solely your fucking hidden gem." And second by keeping this band to yourself (or any band really) your are preventing the band from getting more fans. more fans = more money via concert tickets, merch, more prestigious venues, bigger tours with bigger artists etc.... I mean what if before the band even got signed every fan of theirs decided to have your mindset and never share them? Yeah the band could do promotion for themselves but not if they have no money because no one knows who they are. For all you know, if everyone had your mindset and tried to keep the band a secret the members could have said, "fuck it, we can't make money so we quit" before they even had the chance to become your, "forever hidden gem."
Boys!!! This was the first song I have ever heard from you guys. It’s a monster!! I immediately went and downloaded “it hates you, few, and I am Hollywood”. Gotta say those albums aren’t quite as heavy as this but man the creativity is next level. You guys are quickly becoming one of my favourite bands. Keep killing it! And thanks for the music
Check out Suck Out The Poison, Fan's kinda hated on it when it came out, but White Bat is for sure a "sequel" of sorts to that album. Musically and Lyrically!
I've been a fan since IAH, and slept on "It Hates You" the first year or two it came out because "NOT HEAVY ENOUGH". Now it's my favorite record of theirs.
I remember back 2 years ago I went to go see them in the fall tour at the time when they toured with two other bands and the two bigger ones which were white chapel and atreyu
My hat is off to you guys!!! Always real from the start!!! I remember when “the seduction” came out like holy shit you guys keep me going thank you for your art!!!!!
discovered them while they opened for Atreyu in 2005 or 06. Hated it since it didn't have to do with Metalcore at all to me. Found this on my timeline and wasn't wrong at all that my music dwelling old ass these days would kind of appreciate their tunes a lot more
It's fucking sad, HIL has been killing it since the beginning. Original, artistic, outside of the box and still amazing to this day. You guys were big but you should've been bigger. You guys were the best of the best.
How to not suck in blending all the things i love about heavy guitar music in just 3:30. A rare experience these days. Eternal props for proofing once more that guitar solos are to be left to those who prefer to rather not get laid.
Apart from the odd sounding kick (sounds little bit flat), it has monstrous engineering. Phenomenal bass tone, heavy guitar sound and toms/snare/cymbals sounds without any doubt, top notch. I own White Bat on CD and it has amazing energy.
When I was apprenticing, I was fighting with my girlfriend.after a client dident show up, The women I was apprenticing with dared me to let her do my girlfriends name in white ink on my wrist, it's looks like a scar. Many people have asked if I carved it into myself. A white bat would be sweet. Cheers mate
HIL has always been criminally underrated.
I'm new to the band and it's all I listen to. I heard they've been around forever and I'm not sure how I've not heard of them.

After listening to this album the entire summer, my neck now has abs.
lol
Fist pumping...do you get abs from that?
@@chrisrice3551 ofcourse!
Love it!
Staple of my quarantine playlist. My neck abs now have abs like a Terry Crews Old Spice commercial.
Guys, your WHITE BAT album is the best thing I've ever heard since IT HATES YOU.
You are the most underrated band of the 21st century.
I love your creativity.
Your fan since 2002
Sucks
Fucking preach, brother
Piotr Szambelan i played in the band before the name change. We were called Uriah Omen. I was a fan before, during, and since. They are a sick band and very underrated.
@@Walkerbjj thanks for the answer. Greetings.
That was their worst album too for most fans. I Am Hollywood is still one of my all time favorites and White Bat is 2nd.
Saw them last weekend. They're so heavy but in a way you don't get anywhere else. Friendliest crowd ever. Ended on this song. So good
Saw them at the loving touch in Ferndale, we rocked it! The whole crowd was loving the Hollyweird anniversary tour, honestly out of all the times I have seen them live I think that was the best and cleanest vocals I've heard from them live! I hope Chicago also rocked out hard!

was most underrated band when i was mid twenties, still most underrated band and im 35. fucking DAMMIT so good
man...Honestly to me, they were (and I gladly discover now they still are) one of the best band whatever the genre...So underrated !
34 here and I completely agree. Dude, I've loved this band since I was about 19 and saw them a few years ago for the first time.

34 and I still watch all their music videos on a daily basis. One of the best bands in existence as far as I’m concerned.
I was literally adjusting in the same thing the exact same thing
I'm totally with you bro, I heard them when I was maybe 20 and thought, why the hell aren't these guys on the front of magazines?

So wildly underrated & underappreciated.
Riffs so unique. Changes so tight.

NOT JUST THE CITY THE WORLD
i've grown tired of metal over the years, every one follows the same formula. But He is Legend is back, we just need Maylene to come back too!
Maylene unfortunately probably wont ever happen. Dallas Taylors accident sadly left the dude barely able to function on a day to day let alone be on a stage. A miracle would be fucking amazing though.
Fuck Maylene. Sorry but they tried way too hard
This is getting close to the sound of their earlier albums which I like better than some of their later stuff. Personally.
john osucha I kinda get where you’re coming from. I really enjoyed the first couple of releases, but after that they weren’t much different than Memphis May Fire to me.
@@johnosucha They definitely tried way too hard on Open Your Eyes. Sadly that album blew, but I,II and III were pretty kickass
the most underrated band ever. PERFECTION.

Forever my favorite band. So unique and so talented.

This is one of my go to albums while mowing my lawn

He was such a good dude. You're terribly missed brother...
@@TheDarkside282 RIP
It hates you is in my top five most listened albums. So excited you guys are back. And this track goes so hard!
It's so amazing to see how these guys have grown over the years. Love HIL! \m/
saw these guys feb 21 in a super small venue in ny. they’re so interactive with fans and also amazinggg live :) they were also with norastone, savage hands, and while she sleeps and i was so happy with how much they all interacted with the crowd.
How was While She Sleeps? I know the vocalist has been through a bunch of surgeries on his vocal cords. Does he sound alright live?
Earl Wetshirt he was AMAZING ! i was right in front so i had him literally screaming in my face lmao
@@giannaelizabeth2375 🤣 that sounds awesome! Super jealous! Glad to hear he sounded good!
Hometown Boyz!!!! Port City Misses you!!! WILMINGTON NC!!!
Can't wait to see these guys on Oct 20th. Been a fan since I Am Hollywood but first time seeing them. Stooooked. New album is so great.
Seeing them do this live is the only highlight of my 2020...I carry this song like the virus.
bassist underrated af
I will never tell anybody about this band, hil is my forever hidden gem since their very first album, hil is mine
Djodi Ahmad im gonna get them on the same bill as Foo Fighters

Bahaha stop it! 😆
Take that you winged spawn of Satan
😂
You mean... Cropuscular Ciropera???? 🤣🤣🤣
UNDERRATED
You guys are the shining light keeping rock alive.
Not metal.Metal is alive and well.
But you guys are carrying the rock flag and its amazing.
I've heard that sound (laugh?) at 0:38 in a different song and I can't quite put my finger on it... I fell like they're sampling it. Anyone know?
This album is incredible
Ohhhh shitttttt so good to hear He Is Legend like this again!! Ooohhhhhhh
You cats are always killing it!! White Bat baby!!!
So proud of you Schuylar!!... you look just like your grandma. 🤘 she was always so proud of you.
I think I just fell in love.
THE WHOLE ALBUM IS A MASTERPIECE, A FUCKING WORK OF ART
you guys have always been so underrated, wish you'd come to europe !!
The drumming was on point!!
So glad they're back.
This has always been the band that is most criminally underrated!
He is Eternal. I fn love these dudes. Also, the drummer is ridiculous.
3:01 Best part
This song is a 24/7 raver and I can never get enough of it

This made me think of Maylene and the sons of disaster. I wonder if Dallas is healthy enough to start making music again
As cool as that would be, I don't think Dallas will ever perform again.
It’s cool to see these guys finally get there roses
Crazy to think I share a hometown with these guys!
THIS ALBUM IS FIRE
still the heyviest song....and its halloween again...cheers from the deaf dues from germany...
How I never heard of them before? Omg I am in love
Holy shit...I listened to I Am Hollywood religiously in 2007...and basically forgot about this band. HO FAWK I’m glad I saw this in 2021
I’ll be seeing y’all on While She Sleep’s first North American headlining tour! So stoked, can’t fricken wait!
Can't wait for that I'm going to the AUSTIN TX show. This track has been super excited now.
All HIL albums are great, but White Bat is one of the best.
Am I the only Mexican guy who listens HE IS LEGEND? I always recommend you guys because you are an amazing band
angel garcia g Mexican fan here. Been listening since high school
@@ICEESAreFuckinGood de donde eres? Yo de la frontera Cd Juarez Chihuahua
He is legend very creative, very out of the box, i fucking love them, been a fan since 2008
They just keep getting better with age.
glad they're still rocking out....
best band on the planet rn
DAMN RIGHT!!!!!!!! BEST ALBUM TO EVER BE RELEASED FROM AN NC BAND.
This is my first time hearing this band. Im listening to em because they are gonna tour with while she sleeps. Will see em live in march 2020.
go listen to suck out the poison
That's was my last concert before covid. Also that oerson is right listen to suck out the poison but this album rips too
Been here since their first EP, he is legend is king
COVID
White Bat - I'm the reason this got started!
This songs just slaps in the car cranked up. From the thumps of the kick drum to power chords, the shit just slaps.
I remember back 2 years ago I went to go see them in the fall tour at the time when they toured with two other bands and the two bigger ones which were white chapel and atreyu
My face is no longer congested. Thank you HWIL!!
My hat is off to you guys!!! Always real from the start!!! I remember when “the seduction” came out like holy shit you guys keep me going thank you for your art!!!!!
Hell yeah! This album is so amazing \m/
Love you guys!!! Such a great band!! Schuylar we need another picture together!!
first song ive heard, after listening im looking forward to the concert on aug 16th 2019
Love the Korn vibes i'm feeling from the opening, over all epic song! Deff a new Fav!
That's what we do in NC baby!!!
discovered them while they opened for Atreyu in 2005 or 06. Hated it since it didn't have to do with Metalcore at all to me. Found this on my timeline and wasn't wrong at all that my music dwelling old ass these days would kind of appreciate their tunes a lot more
That's funny/awesome since they are touring wihh atreyu and whitechapel right now
Hard to beat passion. It sounds real.
Charles Manson rocking it!
Best band EVER
Love it! Keep em' coming!! Can't wait to see it live!
Such a ripper of an album! Endless Hallway is also 👌
It's fucking sad, HIL has been killing it since the beginning. Original, artistic, outside of the box and still amazing to this day. You guys were big but you should've been bigger. You guys were the best of the best.
1000% BAD ASS! 🤘🏻🦇
These guys are coming to my city tomorrow. Should I go?
Have fun at the show!!!
Late but hope you made it and had a kick ass time!🤘
Did you go???
Please please please do a video for the interloper 🖤🖤🖤
TheLordOfChaos13 Yes!!! My favorite song off the album. That melody...
Yes please!
only just found this band in 2022. This absolutely rips
No mames, que chingon
Love from México 💕
Ora le.
Sin duda. :D
i love it when steve aoki rocks it
i found an albino bat in a cave once. you guys rock
How to not suck in blending all the things i love about heavy guitar music in just 3:30. A rare experience these days. Eternal props for proofing once more that guitar solos are to be left to those who prefer to rather not get laid.
They do play guitar solos sometimes...
@@jakebergen1837 In case of solo it stays groovy and smooth, and i am totally fine with that. 100% scale wanking free.
Wish they wouldn't have tuned the vocals so much on this. He is a great singer, let him shine without flatlining the pitches
Лучшие!!!! Максимальный топ!!! 👍👍👍
Fearless
Somebody get this band some air conditioning!
I love the AD´s
Wow. This is amazing work.
Very underrated band!
Apart from the odd sounding kick (sounds little bit flat), it has monstrous engineering. Phenomenal bass tone, heavy guitar sound and toms/snare/cymbals sounds without any doubt, top notch. I own White Bat on CD and it has amazing energy.
I agree the kick is a little odd but it very quickly grew on me.
I liked locos! Saludos desde México!
