@@lewissavaidis I swear, back when MTV2 was still playing Headbangers Ball, this exact version was being played there. Every song had audio favoring the left side...
Just heard of them through Spotify and holy fuck this album just became one of my all time favorites! Why hasn't the whole world heard of them yet? This is strength to the max!
It's absolutely insane how he has consistently released great albums for decades. Some artists strive for one single great record, and Devin just keeps releasing them without a single drop of sweat on his shiny, beautiful, brilliant, bald head
i dont think he does it effortlessly. He talks about it in Japanese version of Transcendence, can't remember the song rigt now, but its awesome@@silverblood9456
I felt the need to leave a comment. One of my best friends, my little brother, a piece of me, introduced me to this song about 10 years ago. Since then, ive become a fan of most of Devins projects. Poke (Ian) died last year of diabetes complications. One of the rare occasions that I cried. Under my sociopathic urges and projections, I lost a bit of me that was real and ill never get it back. Everytime I go home, every nook and corner that we filled will be empty to me. He was one of my favorite human beings. Ill never be able to tell him that I love him again. I will however have this piece of music to remember and cherish our friendship. I miss you dude, you were my family. Where ever the fuck you are, I hope you and Sir Mix Alot are tearing those fatties up. Rest in piece bro and thanks for all of the culture I would have missed, this band included, had you not put them in front of me. RIP Le Finger. You are missed.
Man I wish they had more tunes like this. The sound is just amazing, like skesis as well. Heavy, melodic, and just straight in your face, yet simple. And his vocals are amazing here.
I got to see them play this live in Spokane Washington at a tiny bar. It was during the Alien tour and I was one foot from Devin the whole show. Got to meet all of the band members and tell them they were my favorite band. (Even smoked weed with Byron) Life changing night.
One of the craziest things about Strapping Young Lad is you can hear so many insane elements from so many different styles. Devin is amazing at merging styles. This shit is amazing.
I remember seeing this video on headbangersball when I was 14 back in 2005 and at first it was so freaking extreame I couldn’t even handle it but after a few days and hearing it a few more times I fell in love with the song!! I also love seeing Devon from back then compared to now in 2018, it’s such a contrast I love it!!!!
He’s probably the best that I’ve ever seen live. Gavin Harrison and Dave Lombardo also 🤘🏻Brann Dailor is a definite mention. Unfortunately, I never saw Kenneth Schalk from Candiria or Tomas Haake from Meshuggah.
@@darrennoble1474 sorry but no. Devin is on a way higher level of range and control. I really like Will and LS but you are about to compare a single LP and EP to over 20 LP‘s of know-how.
You guys should all be ashamed of yourselves. ;) Now go out and buy this album immediately. The production quality is so much better and even more colossal. The entire SYL discography is a god damn masterpiece.
David Murphy I'm jealous. I've been a fan for 18 years... I wish I could discover that entire back catalogue now, because there's so much it'd blow your mind.
I have loved this song from the very first time I accidentally saw the video on some music channel when it first came out. The part where he sing " For I'm not the man you know" has always stuck out. There is something so eerie/dark about it that I love from a horror view point!
Despite the production value, I still say this is one of the BEST music videos I've ever seen. It's almost a perfect blending of Evil Dead with metal music. Very well produced on a small budget!
The main riff on this defines the term "girth". SYL at Donington 2006 is still one of the most intense gigs I've ever been at. Can't wait to see Dev next March.
This is metal of the best quality. I mean. It's brutally efficient, this particular melody and strucutre are just too much original and a kick-ass vocal track of pretty profound. A winner combination, if you want my opinion.
Fucking best music..ive listened to this band for years..hopefully there will be a new release soon...this group is ahead of their time!..we need more..keep rockin.
I got this on a CM demo disc back in '05 at a metal club in Ithaca NY called The Haunt...I just found the entire disc loaded on an ancient MP3 player tonight and queued this up....this tune is still just as bad ass as it was when I first heard it 10 years ago ... \m/(>.
@@strNpwrKC its abslolutely perfect. But im not certain its been official, but I wouldnt be surprised. Trevors personallity is almost exactly like Devs its scary... Well Strapping Young Lad Devin at the very least.
I mean what do you think distortion is lol. It compresses the sound waves and pushes up all the overtones, which in the process degrades the quality and nuance of the sound. Distort any instrument hard enough and it will sound very very similar to distorted guitar because its so degraded.
Ahhh yes hard to beilieve there was a point in time where we didnt have 60000k definition and 350.6 dolby surround sound and recording equiptment that would make anybodys head explode and due to its sheer advancement in inducing a throbbing erection that would make any mans penis shoot off like a rocket into deep space
Century Media... can we PLEASE have an updated, High Resolution version of this video? Pretty Please?? It's one of Strapping Young Lad's more popular offerings, and when recommending people to see something I found inspirational, as an artist and creative talent, this is an abysmal representation of this piece of work. The higher resolution upload would be well-received. I promise.
***** nope the chainsaw is still an evil dead reference. In the first evil dead ash's hand gets infected with the demonic veiny shit, so he goes out to the shed at the back of the cabin and uses a chainsaw to cut it off. In the sequels he has modified the chainsaw so that it can be mounted on his stump, and uses his trusty " Boomstick " shotgun with his other hand :) in the 2013 remake its the sister who survives and loses her hand ( gets crushed under a flipped car, and she rips her arm away so she can reach a chainsaw laying nearby and kill the main demon with it ) hopefully they make a sequel with her as the chainsaw handed heroine some time soon :)
I heard this song for the first time today and I can't stop listening to it! My favorite new love song! And Hoglan is such a beast! Townsend is amazing!
His solo stuff is certainly great...i would call it progressive hard rock, and sometimes progressive metal. “Alien” on the other hand is some insane shit I’ve yet to hear anywhere else. I thought Meshugga was the hardest ever, until i heard Skeksis.
Please do this band a solid and re-up this video, and all SYL videos, in HIGH QUALITY. Do it for the new and future fans at least, poor quality vids in 2015 are an actual crime.
March! Love is a way of feeling Love is a way of feeling less alone So what's all the fuss about? Fuck it Love: the paradox of needing Oh love, make way for breeding Give it to me! Give it to me!

Eh damn, that's what makes it even more powerfull and awesome.
Wish it was like that in the album too. lol
agreed that bass will make your nose shoot it's load
so ture hahahaha its sad hahahaha
lol
It can barely handle Devin´s voice. The man´s to powerful.
Just heard of them through Spotify and holy fuck this album just became one of my all time favorites! Why hasn't the whole world heard of them yet? This is strength to the max!
This song is a timeless classic. Never dull, always memorable.
Did this come straight off Limewire?
from KaZaa
Yea in 2006 Century Media was uploading rips off limewire. Granted, this song needs a remastered upload this shit is 14 years old
those were the days haha
@@djlowtek No it doesn't. Not everything has to be remastered to be fit on your boring modern taste.

+Michel Newcomb , This band's version of a ballad..........
Has been my Valentines day anthem for years

that is so true.
This is metal in its purest form.
From the 1st time I heard this in high school on Fuse, to today, I absolutely agree. Between the riffs, drums, video, vocals, it’s pure metal.
Devin Townsend's voice is a fucking force...wow
Yeah he is the best at the growls and screams and kicks ass at the melodic singing as well!
His giant pie-hole is the perfect conduit for melodic rage.
probably the best voice to ever be in the metal business
@@colins7771 He sounds like a choir of heavy metal.
Devin Townsend is trained in choir singing.

MetalSkinz As I am now discovering.
'Alien' is an amazing album.
'The New Black' too. They all are, but I think those 2 gotta be my favs
One of the heaviest bands I've ever seen. Riffs were absolutely crushing
I guess they decided our left ear was the best ear
bhwahaa spot on
it is from 2006 the first year of youtube
Yeah basically at the time of this upload TH-cam was barely 6 months old.
true
Actually the left ear is better at picking up sounds of affection or something look it up
That's an incredible chorus. Great melody with the chord progression and vocals. \m/
Your right! You are still around?
I'll wait for the night to come
So far, suicide at home
For I'm not the man you know
This love, it's about control
Any chance this could get a better quality re-up? This video deserves better!
i agree this is a dope song.
no leave it be.
I'm late getting to the Devin/S.Y.L. party but holy fucking God
David Murphy Same boat here, fuark!
David Murphy DT has one of the best scream/growls I've heard.
And I agree. My ears came.

David Murphy better late than never! \m/
Gollum's a pretty sick vocalist
And on vocals,
Pickles, the drummer.
FluffyDonkey oddly enough that's Gene Hoglan on the drums here, same guy that does all the drums for dethklok
And Dark Angel....tssss, thats the main-thing here...
Doodly do. Ding dong doodly doodly doo.

I feel this song perfectly captures a lot of things that makes metal timeless. This still sounds great, 16 years later.
Thank you someone mentioned evil dead 😂
Deicide's self titled album is a better blending of metal with Evil Dead.
I don't think it's a result of budget restrictions, I believe it is an intentional choice.
I love how this video is like an evil dead parody, just adds to how legendary this song is
This song redefined my love of music.... it actually let me know what was metal or not.
That is so great . I felt the same way when i got the album city. And i found the band death at same time. Changed my whole life
First time I've ever heard this song and it is a fucking BANGER
Same
One of my favorite all time metal songs. Devin is a genius.
Honestly one of the most metal songs I've heard
I remember showing this to my mom when it first came out. She’s passed now, glad this is still here.
The main riff on this defines the term "girth".
SYL at Donington 2006 is still one of the most intense gigs I've ever been at. Can't wait to see Dev next March.
Dude I love the f'ed up sound quality!
Aah, I love that chorus! How was I a fan of Devin for so long without looking into SYL?

Prolly saw one their last gigs before they exploded, they were fantastic.
So how many times can I up vote this again?

it!
Lmfao, the song sounds a heap heavier in this shitty quality.
Gon Freecss honestly does
No disrespect to the song and the way it sounds, I kinda agree

So happy to hear it again in Hellfest 2022. He swore to never play it again, but he did... it was awesome.
I remember seeing this back in 2008ish at sounds of the underground. This shit was sick live
I believe he said recently that he was going to play more SYL songs live, as they are also a part of himself, and he was denying that for too long.
This is one of the most epic vibes ever. I return to this very much.
RIP glorious skullet
Hello cueball
Hullo egghead 😂
I've counted like 4 bass bombs and I'm not even half way through the song. SO HEAVY!
Божественно ❤
so fucking brutal! first SYL song I heard.
awesome song, sad they only had a potato available as recording equipment.
I kind of prefer it like this honestly
I think the recording gives it a certain vibe and edge it would not have IF was recorded all polished and perfect.
This is perfection as is to me!
Potato good for recording, camera and fuck toy. All is perfect and equal in the world when potato is used. Peace is fulling achieved zen in 🥔
