Its a lot harder watching this after you hear about his condition and all the time hes spent in the hospital... Its a lot deeper than anyone seems to want to give it credit for.
Killing In the Name Of ! Yeah he's had many surgeries all over his body and he's not even 30 years old yet so hes had it pretty rough. I have a lot of respect for all the amazing music he has made despite all the obstacles he has faced.
Katie Dunwell Austin was always a nice person , I love this song because he screams in pain to make music for us , really bad ass dude in my opinion 🤘🏻
I don't understand how you could be a fan of this band and not like this song... This is honestly my favorite song they've ever released and The Flood is one of my favorite albums of all time.
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DONT HAVE TWITTER: AUSTIN CARLISLE HAS OFFICIALLY LEFT OF MICE AND MEN. THE REASON IS BECAUSE OF HIS ILLNESS(I forgot what its called sorry) BUT IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT TO EVERYTIME HE SCREAMS, HE EXPERIENCES EXTREME PAIN IN HIS BACK. HE SAYS THAT WHILE HE IS IN COSTA RICA HE WILL STILL CONTINUE WRITING AND CREATING, AND OMAM WILL STILL CONTINUE. BUT THIS IS FOR THE BEST AND HE HOPES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND.
+Ivan Sanchez I like all their music I just like certain albums better they work their asses off for their fans and their jobs I think everyone should be proud it's not an easy job ✌
I also have a painful connective tissue disorder. This dude hit the nail right on the head with painting the picture that is severe chronic untreatable pain.
I have fibromyalgia, they doctors know what exactly is wrong with me and I’ve only been diagnosed with that along with an unspecified heart disease. It sucks 😢
After reading Austin's letter about leaving Of Mice & Men and describing the constant pain that he was in, I'm quickly making connections that this is a very personal song for him, and reflects his physical pain from Marfan Syndrome as well as perhaps the emotional pain from the decisions that he's had to face as a result. Mad respect for this man, and this band.
Sauron The Dark Lord you're strong because I don't have this kind of "illness" but I know it can be really hard, hope Austin will see this comment ! he's such an inspiration.
+emma blt You're very kind, thank you so much! We're all strong in our own way, because we all face different obstacles and problems. Even if you don't have Marfan, you're strong too. It'd be cool if he did, he really is.
It sounds like really bad slipknot. Also it's of mice and men, that stupid "hardcore band." They haven't heard of hard since their mom kicked them out on the streets to survive.
DrumsAndMetal the lead singer physically couldn't do it. he actually left the band because of a health condition that left him with extreme back pain whenever he screamed. very sad stuff.
I felt the same way people are saying they sound too much like slipknot i think they are just connecting that because they are touring together personally i feel like it has a real deftones or norma jean sound
+Legend Z I'll never like it but I like Carlile so I can't talk shit honestly I miss the cleans from like second and Sebring but I also like songs like the depths. I've liked him since attack attack too bad they broke up shomo was doing good for vocals
+bmxriderforlife1234 The Of Mice & Men Album was honestly the best album they made, but you need to understand that bands grow and they changes their sound
This is what I listen to while I have chronic pain that hurts all day every day. It's hard not to go crazy. A lot of people don't believe we are in pain because we try really hard to function like normal people instead of constantly complaining about it.
You know..... I really wish I could smile listening to this, love the song tho, but just thinking about Austin hurting himself doing this kind of vocals shreds my soul.
I think this song is a work of art. It makes me think and feel for myself and others. My daughter plays it for us in the car almost daily...she deals with a lot of pain, more than I probably realize most of the time. Physical pain in her feet and body from her training as a ballet dancer, in her back sometimes from scoliosis, and she has struggled emotionally to the point of cutting herself in the past. I appreciate the message this song gives me from the perspective of another who deals with pain everyday.
Living each day with a chronic illness and severe chronic pain is not something I would wish on my worst enemy. Sometimes listening to songs such as this, that are coming from a fellow CP sufferer are the only thing that make's one feel not so alone.
I've had recurring depression since my Dad passed away 13 years ago, exacerbated by my stepfathers death a few years later and my best friend taking his own life at only 16. I'm now a 20something old adult, a university graduate, and I still feel like I'm in pain every day. Austin signed my arm in Manchester and I got it tattooed over, and I swear being able to look at my arm and see Austin's signature there is the only thing that can help me some days. If it wasn't for Austin, Aaron, Alan, Phil and Tino there's a good chance I wouldn't even be here right now. I don't know about my future, whether it might actually be worth living in, but what I do know is I owe these guys everything for helping me make it as far as I have. For anyone else in a similar situation; please stay strong, you're truly not alone.
Very sorry to hear of all the losses you've had to process/continue processing...you remind me to be grateful I've had both parents as long as I have (am 28). May grace be with you on your path to healing ♡ Also thank you for reminding me I'm not alone, it is a comforting fact T_T
Not necessarily a fan of this band or this song, but its really good to see a metal music video in the trending section. There's so much great/better metal out there these days, hope metal makes a comeback.
Nah man it's all about the Trap style music which is cool because I feel like a hipster when it comes to things I enjoy I don't like when tons of people hype over what's popular
This song says why Austin left the band. His Marfan syndrome had gotten so bad that he couldn't perform without being in excruciating pain. This is why he left: “My greatest fear had become a reality… I had 3 tears in my dual sac surrounding my spinal cord, and we discovered that every time I would push down to scream spinal fluid would rush though the tears which was causing me the violent pain every time I’d perform. It was causing my muscles to seize up, and body to contort on stage, and making me lethargic and sore every hour of the day.”
@@hcwaytobe1104 there's articles you can find talking about how the band wasn't going to let him write on the next record so he left. He's been a problem going all the way back to the attack attack days
+Andrew D. Royappa they didn't dumb down anything. If anything they are maturing. And in case you've been living under a rock or just simply don't understand, the scene is evolving and there are bands that are gonna stay at the top of it for that reason. The music in general in this scene is warping towards a much simpler sound. Of mice and men, bring me the horizon, the word alive, etc are bands that will still be relevant ten years from now cuz they GET IT.
Maturing by writing obviously simpler songs with boring two-step beats? Whatever that is, it's garbage and I guess I'll steer clear of the scene's "leaders" from now on
I would like to say that Austin really struggled recording and filming this song and video, especially with his spinal cord that did not help him scream... Rest well in Costa Rica Austin
HOLY FUCK. Talk about anger and some straight up sliptknot shit. This is insane beats the shit out of all their other releases. I lost hope on this band cus they were sucking bad. But this, this is brilliant. So was their last album Restoring Force this is the way I want this band to go. Relentless and scary.
I do find OM&M better when Aaron shuts up and lets Austin get on with it. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Aaron if he plays 2nd to Austin as a backing vocalist like in Bones Exposed. But Aaron does too much vocal work and takes up way too much song time. Austin taking full vocal control and the band keeping things heavy is the future of this band going forward. I love this style. I hope that the whole of Cold World reflects the same style as Pain has.
+Blank +Brandon Cook Never been a huge fan of Amity Affliction and I haven't heard Crown the Empire since The Fallout but both new records are on my listen list for this year.
As someone who’s been through a lot of psychological trauma and also has chronic physical pain + mental illnesses, this song hits pretty hard. I wake up in agony almost every single day, mentally & physically. It’s exhausting, but I’m still here for a reason.
+Richard Sousa why are you here responding bad things to people who love this song? get the hell out of here. i love om&m, but this isnt my favorite song, and im not saying anything. get outta here
+Richard Sousa you look like a great christian man. im a christian too, i come from a christian family. just because this isnt the most religious mysic doesnt mean its not music
The crazy part is that he was probably in a lot of pain when he was recording the song and the video, since the screaming was what caused his disease to flare up.
Save Us From the Archon is the only band you need. Or the Safety Fire/Good Tiger. Maybe some Keyes? Frameworks? Also, Villains did this kind of sound a lot better.
This band is a shining example of how sometimes the metal community can be so toxic. This album is awesome and since the band wanted to evolve their sound and make something different people instantly fucking pissed and moaned about it. "How can these be the same guys who wrote Ohioisonfire and Let Live?!" Its because they dont want to make the same record again and again. I understand why some people may not like the new style and theres nothing wrong with that, but LOADS of people instantly called it shit and claimed they decided to sell out and question their character. The way I see it is that we have a great band with amazing people in it who have evolved over time with 4 kick ass albums for people to enjoy.
TL;DR - just because Austin isnt ripping his vocals by screaming and then having Shayley/Aaron serenade us on (nearly) every track anymore, doesn't mean its bad
You might think the album is awesome but to some people they think that Cold War and Restoring force are boring and unoriginative. Personally Im all up for bands wanting to evolve however If I dont like their newer stuff its because I have real problems with it. Avenged Sevenfold is a band that evolved dramatically yet still retains most of its fans due to creating good consistent music. However this band didn't transition that smoothly thus the huge disconnect.
You want to know why metal is having a hard time making a comeback? Because shitty fans like the ones that complain about this song. Bands change, bands take influence from other bands. It's always been this way. Slipknot and Linkin Park are two bands that influence them, sometimes there will be similarities in their song styles. And why is that a bad thing?! Slipknot and Linkin Park are amazing bands and I love hearing a new generation of rockers being influenced by them. If you don't like it and if it's so terrible, stop listening to it and go listen to something else. So easy right?! I guess not haha.
+Charles Erlandson It's not easy to watch your favorite band change their style to something you don't like. I personally love this song and have always loved OM&M. But there are some bands that I really liked and it made me sad to see that they have completely changed their style.
***** ATS and LT had some pretty heavy songs. The thing I don't like about everything since Meteora is that they kinda trashed their Hybrid theory idea where they were a mix between hip-pop and metal were you couldn't tell which part was hip-hop and which part was metal. I love that their newest album kinda goes back to their old style but the songs are either Metal or a very hip-hoppy nu-metal.
So OM&M releases ONE song with a new sound, and they're getting torn to shreds. But I guarantee if they put out the same old shit, they'd still get torn to shreds. How do people not like this?! This is OM&M's best song in YEARS!! Do y'all seriously want the same old whiny singing accompanied by screams? Fucking shit I thought people were over that. It's so old now.
+Michael "Fa7aL-" the best restoring force songs were the heavier ones. But I definitely think this is better than anything on restoring force. If anything You Make Me Sick can compete with this one but that's it.
+ChildishLikeMonsters and I love their self titled album but dude...that sounds is so old now man...I'm personally tired of it, that's why I love this song.
They sound pretty damn good now that they've started ditching the god awful core elements. Would love to see them explore more in this style, with less breakdowns, clean vocals, and blast beats.
Only song I like from the new album because it's the only heavy song. Unfortunately, because it's heavy with heavy vocals it added to Austin's health issues and now he has to leave.
that's what sucks man...we all wanted heavy songs but in order to give us what we wanted Austin had to put himself in complete agony.....I honestly feel guilty as fuck about it...
I would never bitch but I always wanted another Flood album but this whole thing put into perspective that Austin literally and physically just couldn't.
Never really liked metalcore but I gave this album a listen and was actually quite surprised with the sense of confinement and helplessness in it. It all felt very close, cold, and almost claustrophobic. Much quieter than I imagined, this is easily the most in your face song I feel from the album.
Try Bow Down by I PREVAIL Circle With Me by SPIRITBOX Vice Grip by PARKWAY DRIVE Get That Done by ANY GIVEN DAY My Demons by FIGHT THE FURY Youre gonna EVEN love more METALcore music
Am I the only one who noticed that it sounds like it hasn't been mixed properly? Like I feel that the mixing on restoring force was much stronger but regardless the song was amazing!
honestly....I prefer this style of production. The type that sounds a bit under produced, but that gives the record a more physical vibe. Spotless records sound like they were sampled and made by computer programs.
+Ewan Lee I understand that however I can boot up You're Not Alone right now on TH-cam and it sounds perfect. I hope this is maybe for effect on this single and isn't a representation of the album quality.
Slipknot: Put me back together or SEPARATE the SKIN FROM the BONE --Duality OM&M: SEPARATE SKIN FROM BONE digging at my flesh --Pain Diggin this song for sure
These guys used to be my favorite band, but I stopped listening to them for a while ago because I wasn't a huge fan of Full Circle. However, I'm really digging this song. Hope their other newer stuff sounds like this (when/if they come out with more soon), because THIS is why I loved Of Mice & Men. I'm okay with bands changing and if this is the only heavier song they produce that's alright, but it's just not really my style.
Danger days spider! What album is this off? I don't think this is from restoring force and I really loved that album! If you want heavy of mice and men go for Second and sebring, bones exposed or you make me sick.
I know the spider is from Danger Days I meant what album is the of mice and men song from? xD when it comes to MCR I'm like the biggest trash can on the planet.
You people aren't true fans if you criticize them for making their own music... They didn't ask you what you wanted and frankly I hope they don't care what people want. they should have creative control and we should praise them for what they do. If you don't like it, leave and stop being so nit picky.
So as a fan who's followed them since self titled i'm just supposed to automatically love every single song? Get out of here with that bullshit. Restoring Force was awful. Their worst album so far. There were even some songs on the Flood I didn't like. But I'm not a true fan because I have this thing called opinions and I like to voice mine and sometimes it's not what everyone likes and I dont like some of their songs. Grow up, you can't just automatically say that every song is good. Even my favorite bands there are songs I don't like. Thats like having a sports team go 4-22 and say they're having a good season. get out of here with that. We as true fans should be able to give our opinion. I'm sure they would like to know if we like the song or not.
Yeah they can do whatever they want, but that doesn't mean i'm automatically going to like it. It's not being a hater it's called having an opinion and not subjecting to everyone else.
Watching the video again after hearing Austins news is hard and heart breaking. I will support him and the band, and I wish nothing but good things. It's so sad his illness has gotten him to this point. 💕
I have so much respect for Austin. He’s quite an inspiration for others with his condition. Not only is he crazy talented, he’s such a super sweet and humble guy!!
I think at 2:30 is the build up and then the breakdown. I like it, very unique and doesn't sound repetitive from their older breakdowns. I also don't think any of this sounds like slipknot :p Just my opinions lol
Melanie Martinez like A man trying to keep his possessed daughter in control and loves her even though she's satanic and it pains him to see her like that...?
![Slipknot - Killpop [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mhJh5_6MuCk/mqdefault.jpg)
Its a lot harder watching this after you hear about his condition and all the time hes spent in the hospital... Its a lot deeper than anyone seems to want to give it credit for.
I was about to say the same... Poor bloke
Jonathon Stillwell You mean Austin?
Killing In the Name Of ! Yeah he's had many surgeries all over his body and he's not even 30 years old yet so hes had it pretty rough. I have a lot of respect for all the amazing music he has made despite all the obstacles he has faced.
Th3Darkn3s Yeah, I was reading on ig that part of his rib was off and he was finally able to drink water, he stays strong though!
Th3Darkn3s "How can you ever look at some else the same way"
I love how Austin is like badass and scary in his music videos and in real life he's so awkward and geeky and such a nice person
Katie Dunwell I feel this 😂 I met him 4 years ago and he's such a sweetheart
Katie Dunwell Austin was always a nice person , I love this song because he screams in pain to make music for us , really bad ass dude in my opinion 🤘🏻

+Wolfi3TheFox agreed✌
I love it.
first time hearing this band. The title of this song is brilliant because it is exactly what I felt while listening
The depths is awesome too that's what this one reminds me of foot to the pedal in your face type song
His long ass ending scream in "this one's for you" is even better
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DONT HAVE TWITTER: AUSTIN CARLISLE HAS OFFICIALLY LEFT OF MICE AND MEN.

I'm a Potato thank u
Well shit. I just got into this band a month ago and had no idea.
i hope he survives 😭😭😭😭 Not another great vocalist just take justin bieber
anyone here after finding out Austin left the band? hard to imagine it without him now. :-(
just came here because of that, this song seems to relate to his struggles
yeah I just started listening to them a couple months ago too... saw them open for Slipknot and they fucking killed it!
It will never be the same but I'm glad that he's alive

They got over that cringey phase lol
the squid was cute though I won't lie

This one song blows their whole last album out of the water. Just my opinion.
Agree completely. Yet people are claiming this to be their worst song ever. It's unbelievable.
Yep. I was begging for screaming in the last album
+Ivan Sanchez I like all their music I just like certain albums better they work their asses off for their fans and their jobs I think everyone should be proud it's not an easy job ✌
I just love the raw simplicity. The guitar tone is fantastic. Straightforward badass song. And Austin sounds better. More natural and less forced
bones exposed
glass hearts
you make me sick are all bangers
I also have a painful connective tissue disorder. This dude hit the nail right on the head with painting the picture that is severe chronic untreatable pain.
The way he claws at his back with both hands really hit home for me
I have fibromyalgia, they doctors know what exactly is wrong with me and I’ve only been diagnosed with that along with an unspecified heart disease. It sucks 😢
After reading Austin's letter about leaving Of Mice & Men and describing the constant pain that he was in, I'm quickly making connections that this is a very personal song for him, and reflects his physical pain from Marfan Syndrome as well as perhaps the emotional pain from the decisions that he's had to face as a result.
Mad respect for this man, and this band.
he has a medical condition and this is probably how he feels. I could only imagine. God bless him!
It probably is. I suffer from Marfan Syndrome too (diagnosed by a medical professional by testing) just like Austin. It can be so horrible.
+Sauron The Dark Lord hope you're doing well
+emma blt I'm getting by, but thank you. I can say, that Austin is a huge inspiration.
Sauron The Dark Lord you're strong because I don't have this kind of "illness" but I know it can be really hard, hope Austin will see this comment ! he's such an inspiration.
+emma blt You're very kind, thank you so much! We're all strong in our own way, because we all face different obstacles and problems. Even if you don't have Marfan, you're strong too. It'd be cool if he did, he really is.
I don't understand why people don't like this. I thought it banged.
It sounds like really bad slipknot. Also it's of mice and men, that stupid "hardcore band." They haven't heard of hard since their mom kicked them out on the streets to survive.
+Nex Necis why did you listen to it if they are "a stupid hardcore band"
+Nex Necis idiot
right on, this song kicks ass

most commonly confused with of monsters and men lol
I didn't like this song at first but I have to say, I'm in love.
I felt the same way people are saying they sound too much like slipknot i think they are just connecting that because they are touring together personally i feel like it has a real deftones or norma jean sound

This song says why Austin left the band. His Marfan syndrome had gotten so bad that he couldn't perform without being in excruciating pain.

It was causing my muscles to seize up, and body to contort on stage, and making me lethargic and sore every hour of the day.”
He's coaching youth baseball in Costa Rica now :)
He also walked away because they didnt allow him the freedom to write what he wanted to write in the end. He didnt feel that his heart was in it.
He also did literally nothing but cause problems for the band and contribute nothing to the song writing musically speaking so there's that lol
@@andrewgreiner4681 source? Not that I don’t believe you but I’m curious.
@@hcwaytobe1104 there's articles you can find talking about how the band wasn't going to let him write on the next record so he left. He's been a problem going all the way back to the attack attack days

those were the days....
Bands don't like to release the same music album after album. Get over it.

And in case you've been living under a rock or just simply don't understand, the scene is evolving and there are bands that are gonna stay at the top of it for that reason. The music in general in this scene is warping towards a much simpler sound. Of mice and men, bring me the horizon, the word alive, etc are bands that will still be relevant ten years from now cuz they GET IT.
Maturing by writing obviously simpler songs with boring two-step beats? Whatever that is, it's garbage and I guess I'll steer clear of the scene's "leaders" from now on
wtf this song is actually good why's everyone so rude and negative 😲
+ArisTheGod 777 u cuk
ikr
that sux, this band has really fallen off since the flood album
ArisTheGod 777 gaahaha love that shit
Brandon Idk I like all their albums
I like it, I don't know why people are being so negative. Good song.
ikr so much hate I love all their music old and new!
lol thats why its called pain
Not being negative, but this does suck. If i wanted to hear this i would go back to 6th grade
agreed negativity drains enthusiasm and effort
+omar moran OMG I laughed so hard xD
I would like to say that Austin really struggled recording and filming this song and video, especially with his spinal cord that did not help him scream... Rest well in Costa Rica Austin
HOLY FUCK. Talk about anger and some straight up sliptknot shit. This is insane beats the shit out of all their other releases. I lost hope on this band cus they were sucking bad. But this, this is brilliant. So was their last album Restoring Force this is the way I want this band to go. Relentless and scary.
speaking of Slipknot, they're on tour with them, or at least playing the date where I am.
+Lagrange9 I saw them live in New York on the current tour, with slipknot and they played this live. It was awesome!
ikr this kicks ass kinda reminds me of the depths
570 by motionless in White is better tho.
I do find OM&M better when Aaron shuts up and lets Austin get on with it. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Aaron if he plays 2nd to Austin as a backing vocalist like in Bones Exposed. But Aaron does too much vocal work and takes up way too much song time.
Austin taking full vocal control and the band keeping things heavy is the future of this band going forward. I love this style. I hope that the whole of Cold World reflects the same style as Pain has.
They will never top The Flood.
I don't think they're trying to
*self titled album
Austin says that was the worst album from them. a mess is one thing he said about it.
They already did with Restoring Force.
+theTVremote2697 Restoring Force was no wear near as good as The Flood. Lmao. That's when they got soft and it just all went down hill from there.
New ADTR in August and new OM&M in September?! I'm beyond stoked. It's like my freshman year of high school all over again!
Don't forget Crown the empire on July
What about The Amity Affliction? 👍🏻
what about new infant annihilator and Rings of Saturn
+Blank +Brandon Cook
Never been a huge fan of Amity Affliction and I haven't heard Crown the Empire since The Fallout but both new records are on my listen list for this year.
+Eric Harris YESSSS CANT WAIT FOR THAT EITHER
As someone who’s been through a lot of psychological trauma and also has chronic physical pain + mental illnesses, this song hits pretty hard. I wake up in agony almost every single day, mentally & physically. It’s exhausting, but I’m still here for a reason.
Worst part at 3:44, they do that in every song!
XD the end? I agree
+Madi Anstead Yes!
😂😂 same and your comment made my day😂😂
Ikr!!
I wish it never ended either brother ;3
This song is heavier than the whole new asking alexandria's album
AA has never been on their level. ever.
don't get me wrong, I love asking alexandria. That's just my personal opinion. don't be all butthurt
I really like a few of their songs like dear insanity and another bottle down but for the most part OM&M is better
Let it sleep is heavier
not even close bro
not a big fan of new AA but The Black was more heavy than this 😂
Pain without love pain i can't get enough pain...wait wrong song
Sick reference bro
Nostalgia
Three Days Grace right? haha
+MetalBreakdown yep 👍
😂😂three days grace
I am reading Of Mice and Men in my class.
Nino Straw I finished it last week
Nino Straw (excuse my awful username) George shoots Lennie
you scumbag type of person!
Heather Cook lol jackass
Same!
I can't tell if I like this or not. It's definitely good running music though lol.
this comment 😂
Lol
Dude I was JUST about to download it for my jogging playlist. lol
OneDays Your mile time will go up immensely. Trust me :P
mte!
At first I wasn't a fan of it, but after a couple of listens this song really grows on you! Now I love it, that chorus is freaking badass
Holly crap, almost 6 years later and the pain wont go away
This must be one of the most intense songs I've ever heard, love it!
Try I PREVAIL song "Bow down/
#marflife
holy fuck, i'm in love with this song
nice try, buddy
+Richard Sousa why are you here responding bad things to people who love this song? get the hell out of here. i love om&m, but this isnt my favorite song, and im not saying anything. get outta here
and?
it's just music, who cares what other people like, really
+Richard Sousa you look like a great christian man. im a christian too, i come from a christian family. just because this isnt the most religious mysic doesnt mean its not music
So much influence from Korn and Slipknot
I didn't say nothing bad. The song is very good
linkinpark, n knot
Can you give examples? I listened to both at one point, but not extensively.
+Xolcin Imagine Iowa but slower
Slipknot comes through that first guitar riff so much.
The crazy part is that he was probably in a lot of pain when he was recording the song and the video, since the screaming was what caused his disease to flare up.
FINALLY NEW MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds very heavy. Not like the recent album...
Honestly not really heavy. Heavier than like anything on their most recent album, yeah, but not really that heavy. I still like it tho
agreed
That's a good thing. Restoring Force was ass.
+Julia Sabino same it makes me happy
+mets23569 fr!!
Is it weird that I love to listen to this before I go to sleep some nights? Fucking love the savageness of this song.
Na it's not weird at all mane, I usually listen to the black crown as I go to sleep
I listen to slipknots first album and suicide silence so that's normal
Hey look, the 90s came back.
Hey awesome seeing you here bro
I love their new nu-metal sound.
Nu metal fuckin rocks
Yes, it does.
And that´s great. Fucking love this.
Such a tribute to how he feels daily
You are so inspirational
This sounds like a mix of all three albums holy fuck this is great
No it does not lmao this sounds nothing like the flood or self titled
it sounds exactly like the flood
It's the Flood and Flood only. Restoring Trash is not on here, and self titled is no where near this.
same idea
+mets23569 yeah I agree I here only the flood but also a new sound at the same time
"Let's name our band after this book I read sophomore year, guys..."
I had to read it freshman year
i read it junior year
read it in freshman year
+Gemini Holy I saw the movie instead
They purposely did this. So whenever someone searches up the name, they see the band and hopefully think "maybe I'll check then out"
Fuck. Yes.
Issues, letlive., A Day To Remember, and now Of Mice & Men.
Amity Affliction too
Bro... Beartooth, that is all
All shit bands. FUCK YES!
Save Us From the Archon is the only band you need. Or the Safety Fire/Good Tiger. Maybe some Keyes? Frameworks? Also, Villains did this kind of sound a lot better.
only decent band you said was letlive and their old stuff new stuff is garbage
This band is a shining example of how sometimes the metal community can be so toxic. This album is awesome and since the band wanted to evolve their sound and make something different people instantly fucking pissed and moaned about it. "How can these be the same guys who wrote Ohioisonfire and Let Live?!" Its because they dont want to make the same record again and again. I understand why some people may not like the new style and theres nothing wrong with that, but LOADS of people instantly called it shit and claimed they decided to sell out and question their character. The way I see it is that we have a great band with amazing people in it who have evolved over time with 4 kick ass albums for people to enjoy.
TL;DR - just because Austin isnt ripping his vocals by screaming and then having Shayley/Aaron serenade us on (nearly) every track anymore, doesn't mean its bad
Sad Black Man great comment. So true
Sad Black Man Agreed fam.
Babchak well that gets the "I'm a dick"coment of the day
You might think the album is awesome but to some people they think that Cold War and Restoring force are boring and unoriginative. Personally Im all up for bands wanting to evolve however If I dont like their newer stuff its because I have real problems with it. Avenged Sevenfold is a band that evolved dramatically yet still retains most of its fans due to creating good consistent music. However this band didn't transition that smoothly thus the huge disconnect.
I believe I've made a wrong turn. I was looking for Of Monsters And Men
😂
surprise
no no believe me this is what you wanted
They're the ones you want, this is what you need
keep heavy metal mutha fuckas! 💀🎸
austin gets hotter and hotter everytime dammmmnn
yes ikr legit just yes
your DP is hot too
yes
truu
I'm not even gay and I agree
2:14 you can smell the slipknot
in the previews i got nothing but slipknot vibes lol
I don't listen to slipknot much but, I can definitely see where you're coming from on that.
+Emily Ann the whole galactic is sick
goddamn right!!!!
yes... yes i can....
I'm gonna miss him so muchh...
Same
You want to know why metal is having a hard time making a comeback? Because shitty fans like the ones that complain about this song. Bands change, bands take influence from other bands. It's always been this way. Slipknot and Linkin Park are two bands that influence them, sometimes there will be similarities in their song styles. And why is that a bad thing?! Slipknot and Linkin Park are amazing bands and I love hearing a new generation of rockers being influenced by them. If you don't like it and if it's so terrible, stop listening to it and go listen to something else. So easy right?! I guess not haha.
Well fucking said... Personally I think this is one of their better songs...
+Anthony Martin I agree with you one of there best song
+Charles Erlandson It's not easy to watch your favorite band change their style to something you don't like. I personally love this song and have always loved OM&M. But there are some bands that I really liked and it made me sad to see that they have completely changed their style.
Well said this song stuck on my head, Pain... pain...pain...pain xD
***** ATS and LT had some pretty heavy songs. The thing I don't like about everything since Meteora is that they kinda trashed their Hybrid theory idea where they were a mix between hip-pop and metal were you couldn't tell which part was hip-hop and which part was metal.
I love that their newest album kinda goes back to their old style but the songs are either Metal or a very hip-hoppy nu-metal.
So OM&M releases ONE song with a new sound, and they're getting torn to shreds. But I guarantee if they put out the same old shit, they'd still get torn to shreds. How do people not like this?! This is OM&M's best song in YEARS!! Do y'all seriously want the same old whiny singing accompanied by screams? Fucking shit I thought people were over that. It's so old now.
Trolls love to hate good things
It's not a new sound it's the same as the last album. If they put out stuff that was just like their self titled I'd shit a brick.
+Michael "Fa7aL-" the best restoring force songs were the heavier ones. But I definitely think this is better than anything on restoring force. If anything You Make Me Sick can compete with this one but that's it.
+ChildishLikeMonsters dude I'm sorry but you must be listening to the wrong song because this song sounds absolutely NOTHING like Restoring Force.
+ChildishLikeMonsters and I love their self titled album but dude...that sounds is so old now man...I'm personally tired of it, that's why I love this song.
very nu-metal, grunge feel to this. Different sound for OM&M, lets see how it goes.
Kinda getting I'm A Monster vibes and like if Restoring Force and The Flood's love child... that sounds weird but oh well
i like
actually its not very different it seems like they are going back to the flood and not so much restoring force.
They sound pretty damn good now that they've started ditching the god awful core elements. Would love to see them explore more in this style, with less breakdowns, clean vocals, and blast beats.
i mean I said "very nu-metal, grungy feel to this" but sure . guess I should of said the theme resembled korn or slipknot a little.
Only song I like from the new album because it's the only heavy song. Unfortunately, because it's heavy with heavy vocals it added to Austin's health issues and now he has to leave.
that's what sucks man...we all wanted heavy songs but in order to give us what we wanted Austin had to put himself in complete agony.....I honestly feel guilty as fuck about it...
D. Bennz Same. I would bitch a lot about their soft stuff and because they canceled a concert due to his his health issues and now I feel bad.
I would never bitch but I always wanted another Flood album but this whole thing put into perspective that Austin literally and physically just couldn't.
OM&M can do great softer still hard songs and heavy songs... we don't need your toxicity
the lie is a heavier song and its a good one.
Old songs, new songs it's still good. It's still got the 'of mice and men' twist that all their songs have, No matter what sub genre they're in now.
McLovin is a hell of a singer!
Thats Austin Carlile
omfg
Its ok I got the joke. I never made the comparison but I can now not use see it. Thank you
Rachel Maddow.
Get well Austin, we'll miss you.
wait what happened to him??
Attila FTW! They found out? Bruh they found out when he was a young teen. He left because he's killing himself by staying in the band
Never really liked metalcore but I gave this album a listen and was actually quite surprised with the sense of confinement and helplessness in it. It all felt very close, cold, and almost claustrophobic. Much quieter than I imagined, this is easily the most in your face song I feel from the album.
Try
Bow Down by I PREVAIL
Circle With Me by SPIRITBOX
Vice Grip by PARKWAY DRIVE
Get That Done by ANY GIVEN DAY
My Demons by FIGHT THE FURY
Youre gonna EVEN love more METALcore music
Am I the only one who noticed that it sounds like it hasn't been mixed properly? Like I feel that the mixing on restoring force was much stronger but regardless the song was amazing!
Agreed.
TH-cam does that sometimes.
TH-cam compresses audio ,and singles from bands often aren't mixed exactly to how they'll be on the album
honestly....I prefer this style of production. The type that sounds a bit under produced, but that gives the record a more physical vibe. Spotless records sound like they were sampled and made by computer programs.
+Ewan Lee I understand that however I can boot up You're Not Alone right now on TH-cam and it sounds perfect. I hope this is maybe for effect on this single and isn't a representation of the album quality.
I read "Of Monsters and Men" and was thoroughly confused...
lol me too I was trying to give them credit for at least trying something new
They must be listening to a whole bunch of Slipknot.
Austin always talks about how Slipknot is one of his biggest influences (next to Linkin Park, of course).
The video reminded me a lot of Slipknot. But the song was like Slipknot combined with something else. I loved it though!
Well they are touring with them.
Right cause they sound way to much like slipknot almost like they can be twin bands
+Kwame Coleman too*
I can't let this song go even if I tried. I'll listen to this forever. So much power, resentment, anguish. This song is humanity in audio form.
WhEn ThE fUcK did this song even come out?!?!??! gosh I gotta binge listen to them tonight
it came out today...
oh so the song came out WITH the video today?oh god
Today
Slipknot: Put me back together or SEPARATE the SKIN FROM the BONE --Duality
OM&M: SEPARATE SKIN FROM BONE digging at my flesh --Pain
Diggin this song for sure
The flood throwback album possibly?😏👌
Hell yeah I hope so
I sure hope so
I hope, they declined with Restoring Force
I hope so! But this song didn't really get to me.. the drums and guitar riffs.. feels heavy metal.
that's what I was thinking xD we can only hopeeee
I love how Phil looks so badass and scary in this video and then legit any other time he's just a big ol man baby
These guys used to be my favorite band, but I stopped listening to them for a while ago because I wasn't a huge fan of Full Circle. However, I'm really digging this song. Hope their other newer stuff sounds like this (when/if they come out with more soon), because THIS is why I loved Of Mice & Men. I'm okay with bands changing and if this is the only heavier song they produce that's alright, but it's just not really my style.
* their lighter stuff isn't really my style.
Kirsten DeMille OMG YOUR ICON PICTURE
Danger days spider! What album is this off? I don't think this is from restoring force and I really loved that album! If you want heavy of mice and men go for Second and sebring, bones exposed or you make me sick.
I know the spider is from Danger Days I meant what album is the of mice and men song from? xD when it comes to MCR I'm like the biggest trash can on the planet.
The self-titled and The Flood will always be the supreme albums.
I really do admire Austin for taking care of himself after OMAM
You can really feel Austin's pain in his eyes as he sings/Screams about the pain
First song I hear and now I'm in love with the band
Cloe R
welcome to the fandom :)!
Sorry, but Austin just left. I wish him the best :(
Cloe R Same
You people aren't true fans if you criticize them for making their own music... They didn't ask you what you wanted and frankly I hope they don't care what people want. they should have creative control and we should praise them for what they do. If you don't like it, leave and stop being so nit picky.
preach!!
So as a fan who's followed them since self titled i'm just supposed to automatically love every single song? Get out of here with that bullshit. Restoring Force was awful. Their worst album so far. There were even some songs on the Flood I didn't like. But I'm not a true fan because I have this thing called opinions and I like to voice mine and sometimes it's not what everyone likes and I dont like some of their songs. Grow up, you can't just automatically say that every song is good. Even my favorite bands there are songs I don't like. Thats like having a sports team go 4-22 and say they're having a good season. get out of here with that. We as true fans should be able to give our opinion. I'm sure they would like to know if we like the song or not.
+mets23569 they can do whatever they want, stop being a hater
Yeah they can do whatever they want, but that doesn't mean i'm automatically going to like it. It's not being a hater it's called having an opinion and not subjecting to everyone else.
if someone likes something and you tell them that it is shit. its called being an ass... you are right, you aren't a hater :)
I will never get over this song
Watching the video again after hearing Austins news is hard and heart breaking. I will support him and the band, and I wish nothing but good things. It's so sad his illness has gotten him to this point. 💕
Holy shit I feel like I've never seen Of Mice & Men quite like this, this is so perfect wow :)
Nu-core (Melodic Metalcore and Nu-metal)
*****
It can be something
No-core.
Actually called numetalcore
Love Austin Carlile, the band wont be the same without you!
I have so much respect for Austin. He’s quite an inspiration for others with his condition. Not only is he crazy talented, he’s such a super sweet and humble guy!!
Wait till you hear the rape stories
@@LoganMiracle no proof he did anything
@@zilla6300 Hard when all the truth is being silenced and held buy alternative press
sworn in
Eh, I kinda see it
Yup. "practice what you preach." and the beginning riff.
and sworn in trys to rip off slipknot the only difference is OM&M gets to tour with them
Not at all, m8.
I forget how good this is.
Anyone else still waiting for an of mice and men breakdown? Me too
i'm sure we'll get a few in the new album!! (;
2:45
There ya go. It's lackluster, but it's a breakdown
+Pink guy wrong
Eric Stacy No, i'm pretty sure that's a breakdown
I think at 2:30 is the build up and then the breakdown. I like it, very unique and doesn't sound repetitive from their older breakdowns. I also don't think any of this sounds like slipknot :p Just my opinions lol
forever my favorite. i’ve never felt so in touch with a song
the only metalcore song where you can understand what theyre saying
You must not know of metalcore...
by the way this is nu metal
For The Last Time oh
You don't need to hear what they're playing to enjoy it. sometime's it's better just to hear BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH
Angus M. not complsining just saying
MrPoptart it's a joke bro X'D...
Lowkey trying to revive some kind of nu metal
That's what I thought
+Brad Hagler thought the same thing
Can't you hear the uncanny resemablance to 90s Slipknot? It's like Tattered and Torn, (sic), and Eyeless morphed into one.
+Daniel Sanford I was thinking the same thing
cane hill and sworn in did better
this is amazinggg as always:D
so amazing that I stopped in the midway
He is the only vocalist that scream "pain" literally. Heard the scream, felt the pain.
If this music video turned into a movie it would honestly be my new favorite movie😂😂
Melanie Martinez like A man trying to keep his possessed daughter in control and loves her even though she's satanic and it pains him to see her like that...?
Melanie Martinez the human centipede has a cover that looks just like when the girl is behind the foggy miror
