Infinite Death - this is the best deathcore album of all time. I still miss Brendon's vocals
You are single handedly filling the void that is deathcore commentary and their beginning stories. Thank you Yan
Thank you so much 🤘🏻🔥
The adversary is one of the most brutal albums to hit the deathcore scene . Lyrics and everything.
CJ later admitted that he didn't actually leave because of his family, he actually went broke because of his weed use. Which people actually got pissed at him for because he had went on a rant on Facebook about how musicians make no money, but he backtracked when he admitted where all his money went to. Once he got back on his feet he rejoined the band
Wow very interesting!! Thanks for the info 🤘🏻🔥
Coke*
Oh it was more than just weed dude. Man was on that white
@@skullfullabongripz Yeah forgot that. I was going off my memory
So glad someone covered the Brendan era!! I took think he has some of the coolest vocals I've ever heard and I'm so sad he only did these 2 eps! Id be so hyped if he came back in any capacity, the scene needs Brendan!
I agree he did some of the best vocals 🤘🏻🔥
Wow man! You just missed the whole debacle with CJ. Would've been interested in hearing your opinions it
Hey bro appreciate you making this, I was there since about their 3rd Gig and have followed them ever since … pretty much spoken to ever member (current and past) of the band after shows having drinks … but yeah used to go to the little shows on week nights in rock nightclubs in Sydney with 50 people lol… I knew they were going to get big back them! They were doing stuff so well!
I wish I would’ve gotten to see them with CJ. He’s so sick. They’re one of my fav bands but they’re kinda dead to me now
I love this band, hate dropped the same year as Mitch’s passing and I just remember thinking the scene is over. Then I heard reign of darkness 🤘 I think for a lot of ppl it was the perfect album for a sad time.
Maybe it was an omen?
Such a solid band,
The whole cj saga is a shame
He was a great frontmen
I had these guys at my house after a show have them tattooed in a few places hands down my favourite band cj live best sound
Sad to see this right up to the release of Join Me in Armageddon. CJ's being kicked is catastrophic.
It's funny that Brendan wanted them to keep the breakdown all time style, which is what they do now. I'd love to hear Brendan in another band. I don't really like anything by them beyond Hate though
I'd also like to hear something new with Brendan !! 🤘🏻
Just came across this channel and so glad I did. Great content and homage to early deathcore! Keep that breakdown content coming please.
Thanks !! I will 🤘🏻
I had an observation that you're kind of like the channel I wanted punk rock mba to be, to be talking about the bands you actually care about instead of trying to appeal to a huge audience, keep up the great work man, not to mention your editing is fire 🔥
Wow thank you so much .. truly means a lot 🤘🏻🔥
Same lol Punk Rock MBA is unwatchable for me now.
Same.
Finn McKenty is cringe.
@@DustyGlandon Finn mckenty is one of the most entertaining music channels i watch, I just wish he'd talk more about niche topics, but I still enjoy the content he makes and agree with most of his takes. His only egregiously bad take is that Metallica is bad, everything else is pretty reasonable
@@lightningmonky7674 dude he's had sooooo many more weird, contradictory takes. remember when he said morbid angel is underrated? remember when he said he won't listen to bands with misogynistic lyrics then recommended devourment in the same video? I don't mind his content but he is so far outta pocket lmao
Bermuda is another sick as F Myspace era deathcore band from Australia. Their EP Tyrant (2008) was on par with Thy Art. I loved these HIGH energy deathcore songs. Great point about the vocals matching the songs energy. Fit so perfect!
Bermuda was one of my favorite bands ever ! I'll do a video about them for sure 🤘🏻🔥
If only people knew what would be happening a month after this video with taim💀😭
So I've got a story about the show that you used the footage of for the Adversary album cycle. That gig was at a church in the Melbourne (Australia) suburb called Bayswater. There was maybe 200-250 people there crammed in the tiny front room of the church. It was hectic. But something happened at that gig that "apparently" pissed the band off. So Cj told the crowd to wreck the place and somehow panagrams and inverted crosses got sprayed everywhere. Other stuff got damaged. They didn't run gigs there after that hahaha
It's been pretty great to watch this band grow. I've seen them in tiny venues with like 100 people and I've them in arenas. It's mental. I was also fortunate enough to be at the 10 year anniversary of hate gig that they filmed and had pyrotechnics.
OMG man that's wild !! Thanks for sharing 🤘🏻
I saw Thy Arts first show in the U.S. they played at a VFW hall in Binghamton NY. Last Ten Seconds of Life also shot the music vodeo for Punishment that night. Insane show lmao the pic they showed at 9:44 was the exact lineup I saw. They were playing stuff off The Adversary(it was brand new at this point) and still playing Infinite Death songs too 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the pig squeals in the demo. There was a few by CJ on the first full length but I think that was it sadly
Easily gained a new sub! Thanks for the insight one of my favorites and it’s nice to see an unbiased honest perspective. Keep it up. I’m here!
Hey thank you so much !! I really appreciate 🤘🏻🔥
i love your videos. and after more than 15 years the infinite death ep is still kinda like my golden standard for deathcore. these psycho vocals are just unmatched. greetings from germany
That's true , so good man 🤘🏻🔥 And thanks a lot of the kind words
dude no lie I love your content and you’ll definitely gonna get the recognition you deserve. Keep it up boss
Wow thank you .. I mean already the amount of love and support is heartwarming !! 🤘🏻🔥
Bro this videos are amazing ,no one in this platform does this type of videos about deathcore so well done, keep it up 🤘
thanks 🤘🏻🔥
So hype i found your channel. Love the Myspace deathcore era.
Hey thanks a lot 🤘🏻🔥
infinite death is one of if not the most visceral deathcore eps ever released in my opinion
I completely agree ! I'd say Chelsea Grin EP and Infinite death would be on top 🤘🏻🔥
@@xtheyan totally agree!
i saw the title and clicked right away! they are so sickk, another great video!
Thank you so much !! 🤘🏻
awesome video nice one cool this a good video i like this one man keep up the good work man!
I love your content!!! Please keep making deathcore documentaries!! So cool🖤🖤
Hey thank you so much 😊🖤
One of the biggest deathcore bands for me! Excelent musicians and pretty cool guys.
Also I miss their early more breakdown focused style, but they change the deathcore game with "Hate" anyway.
Really cool channel man!🔥 Greetings from spain
Hey I feel the same way !! And thank you 🤘🏻🔥
loving the videos, would love a video on all shall perish. super underrated band from back in the day
Thank you !! Don't worry they're on my list 🤘🏻🔥
One of my favorite bands of all time!! I first heard them with "Laceration Penetration" in 2009-10 when I was 8-9 yrs old on MySpace.They have a great story & deserve all the success they have...I've followed them very closely over the years & hearing you talk about these things from "so long ago" 😅 brought back alot of great memories...I stumbled upon your IG videos on Attila's page a few times (Attila being my favorite band) & your channel was recommended to me a few days ago.I love watching video essay-style videos (especially music related ones) I can see The Cozy Representative being an inspiration for you? I really hope your channel does very well in the future. 👍🏻 Cheers from U.S.A.
Wow thank you so much man !! It’s crazy how positive the feedbacks are so far, I feel really grateful. I’m glad it’s bringing you memories and yes , The Cozy Representative is my biggest inspiration and I hope I’m not too similar but he’s amazing and he’s the reason why I’m doing this , I realized no one is talking about the MySpace Deathcore Era , and it’s the most important part of my life so , yes here we are haha 🤘🏻🔥
@@xtheyan You're doing great! Excited to see what's to come... 😁
Thy art is one of the most consistent bands in the entire genre in my opinion, not to mention the dudes have been extremely tight since day one.
That's true! 🤘🏻
Kind of random but I met CJ at a show in Denver in like 2017 outside of the Summit Music Hall and he was super nice and chill. I was also shocked at how big of a dude he was. All in all he seems like a super good guy.
also he said the word “cunt” a lot but that’s just an Ausie thing lol
haha yes I can see that
I think I found my new favorite TH-cam-channel that does music related content! Please do an episode about Waking the Cadaver, and maybe as a bonus an episode about With Blood Comes Cleansing!
Thank you so much man !! Both bands are on my list don't worry 🤘🏻🔥
Thanks for playing that clip of shipwreck with CJ, freaking love that song
Keep the Aussie MySpacecore coming!! The red shore would make a great video. Legit awesome channel love reliving the glory days
Thank you for the kind words !! And yes The Red Shore is on my list 🤘🏻🔥
7:30 I remember this show! ✌🏼😁
they will never do anything as rad as infinite death! such a killer album. those unhinged highs were beautiful.
another band with excellent highs were viraemia, another one of my old favorite bands
I’m seeing them live for the second time this year, not the second time ever, the second time this year 😂in October I can’t wait ❤
Awesome 🤘🏻🔥
Whore to a Chainsaw was such a fucking banger when i discovered it back in the myspace days! :D
was lucky to score a copy of infinite death on vinyl earlier this year, was super expensive and sold out in seconds. probably my favorite record in my whole collection. shoutout to wax vessel records you should do a video on them
good idea !! 🤘🏻🔥
Keep up the great work with these videos.
Thanks !! I Will 🤘🏻🔥
Fucking awesome concept for a video man. Easy subscription, can't wait to see more
Thanks man ! Means a lot 🤘🏻🔥
i love this band dude
I grew up in the blacktown area Stoked to have seen the come up in rl
Many other bands come out of blacktown like Northlane
Love Thy Art Is Murder. Hands down still my favourite band. Seen tons live now. Saw them last month with Tyler fronting and it was honestly one of the best shows I've seen them so far, going back to 2012. Still the best live Deathcore band out there, and they had Whitechapel and Fit For An Autopsy with them this time around. I've always loved their brand of Deathcore, just has a lot of groove in it, live shows a re always fucking hectic and fun, and no different this time around in October, despite the obvious "drama" surrounding the new LP. Even played Slaves Beyond Death for first time in fucking ages.. CJ literally boycotted that song as he was sick of doing it live.. so bonus content this tour haha. Tyler's vocals are good live, sort of bridging between CJ and Brendan. Look forward to seeing what they bring out in the future as I love the new LP. Some really strong songwriting on it. Andy Marsh has really piloted the songwriting on it by all accounts. I totally love how the band has progressed over the years.
Amazing content as always!
Thank you so much!!
Good episode!! Yeah, CJ was my favorite, hey! You should do a video on: The Last 10 Seconds of Life! (;
Thanks !! And yes they are an awesome band 🤘🏻🔥
They were the first band to really open me up to deathcore. I was mostly a death metal only guy, but seeing them on Summer Slaughter during the Hate cycle got me really headbanging and moshing to deathcore for the first time.
That's so cool ! Glad you're open minded about deathcore now , and thank you for watching 🤘🏻🔥
Love your videos! Keep it up
Thank you so much !! Yes will do 🤘🏻🔥
Great content dude, keep it up!
Thanks a lot !! 🤘🏻🔥
I came into Thy Art hearing CJ, but left loving Brendan... If he could create another group or just be a feature on an album I'd be a child in a candy store. Infinite Death forever and always... r.i.p to what could of been.
Extremely talented vocalist for sure
Your videos are fucking rad homie, super good shit I could watch these all day. Excellent work. SUBBED
Edit: would love to see you cover BTBAM's Myspace Era. The world needs it
Thank you so much man !! And yes they're on the list 🤘🏻
Nothing beats that EP. Regardless of the drama. Not even close.
Dude Archspire is my favorite band and I have that same Drone Corpse Aviator t-shirt. I have the same sleeve length too.
Such an amazing band 🤘🏻🔥
@@xtheyanYes!
Thank god for Australia, for its Kangaroos, Thy Art is murder and Parkway Drive. Great video man, greetings from Costa Rica
Thanks Haha yes and I’d like to do a video on Parkway drive 🤘🏻🔥
HOLY WARS!! \m/
Guess you'll need to make a part 2 on TAIM as well, since very recently, CJ is not a part of the band anymore.
It’s be interesting to see, I’m new to this channel and only watched the BOO vid so far. Was interesting how he left the Jason Richardson drama out of the video but actually I think it made the video better and the whole vibe made me go binge BOO loads like I haven’t in years. I think I’m the long run a lot of the specifics of bands fueds end up being a bit irrelevant and boring and take away from the vibe of his vids
Please do an Acacia strain vid bro been a fan of them since before and life is very long they are from my area so i got to see them blossom into the juggernauts they have become boyo thoae early shows at fat cats bar and grill were lethal lmao
I will ! 🤘🏻
infinite death was just something else to listen back then. Totally psychotic.
great content dude .. cheers
Appreciate it! 🤘🏻🔥 Thank you
Have that same shirt 🔥🔥🔥 vid
I actually never heard of thy art till MySpace ended. It was their album the adversary. I feel maybe Facebook was ok the rise. Coop video.
oh really !? Yes I mean , after their album "Hate" they really got big ... and thanks man 🤘🏻
Vegas in ruins is fucking amazing
Need to do Winds of Plague
Make Them Suffer and They Art Is Murder - my country punching above its weight in the deathcore game! 🇦🇺🇦🇺
0:29 lmao i actually got cereal
I think you should do a PhD in the history of Deathcore
18:45, well now they do)
Love the video dude!! \m/
I was a teenager during this era, I have it to thank for the love I have for Deathcore today. You mention how much you like Brendan's highs and touted them as being some of the best of all time (totally agree). That being said, if you havent heard of them I recommend checking out "The Devastated", namely their song Tongue in Cheek. They only have one album but their vocalist is a MANIAC. Cheers dude!
Hey thank you so much !! And I’ll look into The Devastated, I don’t know them 🤘🏻🔥
Niiiice dude you're gonna love it
You should do a update… I’m kinda curios what you think now
do old motionless in white
13:01 i was just about to say, the red chord. Id like to know more about them
They’re on my list 🔥
The Adversary is their best record. It has an evil tone the whole way through.
Can you make a video about As I lay Dying? Please!
Wow that would be a big project!
Decent video but you blew it when it comes to Gary Markowski (one of the two original guitarists). You say that he quit when it was actually much more complicated than that…
As a musician within the band he was probably like 75% responsible for the sound of the demo, “Infinite Death”, and “The Adversary.” He was EXTREMELY influential in their sound and I’m surprised you couldn’t recognize that!
He was kicked out (fired) of the band after the release of “The Adversary” once the others discovered he had been ripping off the band for a while and ultimately tried pawning off their equipment while on tour. Although he was the creative sound behind the first few years of the band, he ended up being a nutcase and had to be replaced.
Just wanted to point this out for the sake of “MySpace Deathcore” history. Markowski didn’t quit-he was fired just as covertly yet forcefully as Brendan was. Their other founding guitarist (Sean Delander) stayed on for “Hate” and is the only remaining original member but has never contributed much to their sound. Dude’s riding the gravy train but you can’t blame him. It was always Brendan, Markowski, and Lee during the MySpace days. Once “Hate” came out it was a completely separate unit altogether, for better or worse.
Also, you missed a big opportunity to cover the transition between Brendan and CJ’s vocal styles during the time with real people’s comments we have in real time. Once Brendan was kicked out, the band released their teaser single track “Engineering the Antichrist” on TH-cam. I was weary yet it grew on me, but the “Infinite Death” fans were up in arms about how lame CJ’s vocals were in comparison to Brendan’s. It was such a hot topic until “The Adversary” was released. After that people seemed to chill out and realize that Brendan was gone and this was what the band would be. You could have had a field day with screenshots of that, as well as screenshots of the band’s Last.Fm page. Come on, man. Do better research! And maybe learn how to pronounce names like Despised Icon and The Adversary properly 😂❤
Hey man , thank you for your comment. That’s true , I could’ve done better for sure but as you can see , it was one of my first videos, I did my best but since then …I’ve learned a lot and I’ve had the pleasure to talk with bands like I Declare War, Despised Icon and Winds Of Plague, all confirming that my informations are very accurate so I think the work I’m doing is okay. Everyone can do better and of course I can’t include 100% of the infos into my videos , you have to be selective and find a proper balance. I’m doing all of this because I love the MySpace era and I think it’s important to document it , and nothing is stopping you to make videos about those bands as well! For my pronunciation, I’m very open about the fact that I’m very often terrible at it , but considering English is my second language, I think its fair to say it’s not so bad 🤘🏻🔥
Just please do more research next time. It’s not like this is your main source of income so it’s best to do a better job for something you are actually passionate about. Constructive criticism.
@@Ross-ro1su the funny thing is that you’re literally the only one who ever said that. I’m pretty sure that if the bands themselves are validating the accuracy of my informations, my research process is okay for the most part. As I said before, this video was one of my first videos and out of thousands of comments on my channel , (including band members) you are literally the first one telling me to do better research. It’s easy to tell people what they can do better. No video is perfect and I CANT include every single fact , it just doesn’t make any sense. Yes you’re right , it’s not my main source of revenue, which means I’m 100% doing it out of love and passion. I’m not forcing you to watch anything man
Vegas in ruines a band that never took off but there on TH-cam should check them out
Bruv my friend was literally going to take me to one of there show’s earlier this year until my mom said no, which is dumb cus last year she let me go see impending doom
Ahhh it sucks but they’ll come back and hopefully you can go ! 🤘🏻🔥
@@xtheyan yea I still wanna fir and miw but for the show experience I think slightly smaller bands are better
I remember coming across Thy Art is Murder when they had less than 1k views here on youtube! I definitely miss the old vocals, they were so goddamn frantic, but I get that they had internal differences. The old lyrics were pretty cringey and mysognistically overboard lmao. But that's all in good fun when it comes to deathcore right??? Also their guitar style in the early album days was nuts! Hate was their last huge peak to me, I mean they're still solid but I feel like they lost their edge after that and kinda sound like generic deathcore. They do still have some bangers here and there. They've evolved quite a lot throughout time that's for sure.
Just learned that CJ just got kicked out last month and all his vocals were removed from the new album without warning him?? Oh shit I gotta read up on this drama 🤔
@xTheYan can you please do Elysia??!
I will ! So many people are asking for it
CJ was a far better vocalist back during The Adversary era than what he is today. One of the main reasons I don’t care for them much at all anymore past Hate. I do miss Brendan’s vocals though.
I mean yes it always depends on what you like but for me... Infinite Death is still the best thing they ever did
@@xtheyan Of course because I mean, thats OG Thy Art. Their music hasn’t been anywhere near as interesting at all since the EP.
Much love for the videos man but for some constructive criticism, please get a good mic. You talk very quiet yet play loud death metal clips. No hate 🤘
thanks man ! sure I've order a new mic last week 🤘🏻
Can you make a video on iwrestledabearonce or see you next Tuesday?
Sure ! The list of bands is getting bigger & bigger haha 🤘🏻🔥
@@xtheyan Just discovered your channel and I was around when Myspace was big but I was too young to have experienced it
just can't ignore the Toronto Raptors lol
hahah I've been wearing Raptors caps since like 10 years
@@xtheyan you live in Toronto? really enjoyed the content, hopefully will get the chance to meet you in person at some event lol
@@feynlandnoize Nah I'm from Montreal , and thanks man !! 🤘🏻
you look so cool 😎
Thank you 😈🤘🏻
but CJ is no longer in the band....
Whats your age 👀
CJ has since been kicked out of the band
yeah I mean I made the video like 10 months ago
@@xtheyan yeah I saw the date. sad to see these things happen. Have you listened to the new vocalist?
@@Cynder455 yeah he’s very talented !
i honestly really miss Brendan, the lyrics were so stupid but his high's were so good, CJ just doesnt have that range, infinite death has so much energy(actually made this comment before i heard your comments, but i agree with you his vocals were so good, sadly to me CJ just is pretty boring imo, good at what he does but what he does is extremely mid
the fact that they refuse to play their older songs(hell change the lyrics but they are still classics) is disappointing
Yes I mean, for a lot of people .. Infinite Death is their best record 🤘🏻🔥 Brandon vocals were very unique
Lmao Brendan hated women but he was a better vocalist
Back in the day I head a small stint of being anti christ and anti government and talking about it in my music and lyrics but at some point I switched into being more focused on writing and producing something positive while still sounding aggressive. I hate when a band has such a big reach and all they talk about is negativity when it’s so important to promote positivity and good vibes. Even leaving religion out of it there’s nothing wrong with a positive message so I can appreciate his concern for the kids
it sucks you only just missed CJ being cancelled by the trans community for simply voicing an opinion. Kicked out of Thy Art and abandoned. you are right, we all did exist in a different time, i myself also wore a Whore to a Chainsaw shirt. WTF happened to the world? #SAVECJ
I hate cj vocals.
haha it's okay man, but out of curiosity.. Did you like Brendan's vocals on INFINITE DEATH ?
@@xtheyan I started listening to them before cj and infinite death was my favorite album in like 2008 or 09. I'm sure that's why I don't like cj because I was a big fan back then and their sound completely changed.
@@BigCatMaeMae I completely relate ! I mean Infinite Death will always be my favorite TAIM album honestly 🤘🏻
Monotonous lows, released the same album vocally over and over again, which shits me because CJ could do highs. When they toured on the adversary they still played alot of infinite death.
Their new stuff is 🥱
