The whole song is a hardcore anthem!!! Maybe it’s where I’m from I don’t know, but STRIFE is sickenly underrated!!! Just fast and, two step, and chug all perfect amounts and not overdone. For a hardcore band they put so much thought and structure into their songs. Not just ad a two step riff because it needs a two step part but the actual riff itself is great catchy, memorable, well written! I seriously feel like I don’t hear enough about them and the impact they had in the late 90’s through the 2,000’s!! Tell me if I’m way off here or if anyone else agrees. My highschool years were me and my buddies cruising around in my 89 Cadillac cranking hardcore. And when we got near sidewalks where people were hanging out talking and there were hot girls or other punks this song immediately got played. Loud!!! It was like throwing up a flag saying hey this is us and if you are our people you respond back LOL HAHAHAHAHA! So we always were able to find the other hardcore kids through this amazing anthem of a song and it usually led to more people piling in the Cadillac and heading to a local skate spot or spots for the rest of the day and usually ending up at an all ages show that night hahaha! Hardcore shaped me into the man I am today. Kept me grounded and gave me morals and friends that would last a lifetime!! Sorry for the long comment but it all came rushing back to me!!!
Definitely not metalcore!! Straight up fast hardcore, with songs about hardcore and this timeless brotherhood/sisterhood we were lucky enough to find our way into. #WeAreHardcore #Brotherhood #Sisterhood #STRIFE #Blistered #illClimbToTheTruth
These guys were on to some amazing musical things in the span of 18 months or so; incredible, and lasting! 2 defining records for heavy music in the 90s and beyond (yes!).
Love Strife... will always be one of my favourite hardcore bands, who gives a fuck if they're not all edge anymore, they made some brutal music that will smash the crap outta most bands these days!
Truly more hardcore than most of what's around today. Also watched Godmoney for the first time last night. If you haven't seen it, it has the lead singer as the protaganist.
This video used to rotate on Much Music's LOUD Friday night program with George Strombo. Used to tape the videos on VHS so I could listen to the songs as I didn't have high-speed internet where I lived and downloading songs from LimeWire or Kazaa was a nightmare.
Blistered by a raging sun's flames Mankind sealed it's fate in it's haste Warning signs sent time after time We just sit back in all this waste All this waste And I will not wait I'll climb from this place I'll climb to the truth To the truth Blackened skies poisoned ashes cried Mankind sealed it's fate in it's haste Warning signs sent time after time We just sit back ignore the waste All the waste An I cannot wait I'll climb from this place I'll climb to the truth To the truth To the truth Looking to the skies I can see the ashes falling Looking to the shy I can see it all coming down I can never give up I can never give up my fights right I can never give out I can never give out because mine is right My fight is truth My fight is truth
@@lumpenproletarier9584 The thing is I bet fans from the 80s scene talked shit about bands like Strife in the 90s. And I already see comments from people talking about "the old days" of like 2012 lol
Did someone forget to tell the world about Strife? what the hell, time to take it back to the old school! Cull the New Metal choking out the scene that these guys made happen.
I love how straightforward and simple the production of this song and video is. No fat, all muscle. And god, metalcore started going in some horrifically overproduced and shitty directions a couple years after this.

AT 45 I STILL LISTEN TO THIS BAND.... GREAT BAND
idgaf what anyone says, this is by far one of THE best breakdowns in all of hardcore music history

Strife is still the sound of true hc in 2019.
Still true in 2020!
2020

I'm a bigger fan of Sick of it All but strife is badass indeed
Still true in almost 2022
1:33 is still the heaviest breakdown I ever heard.
Never fails to give me shivers
Fuck yes, brother man.

My first intro to hardcore when I was 16...real shit right here 🔥
This was the song/ band that got me into hardcore & metal.
That Stomp.
Still watching...I'm 4o this year.
legends! miss those good old days😥😥

Blistered by a raging sun's flames
Mankind sealed it's fate in it's haste
Warning signs sent time after time
We just sit back in all this waste
All this waste
And I will not wait
I'll climb from this place
I'll climb to the truth
To the truth
Blackened skies poisoned ashes cried
Mankind sealed it's fate in it's haste
Warning signs sent time after time
We just sit back ignore the waste
All the waste
An I cannot wait
I'll climb from this place
I'll climb to the truth
To the truth
To the truth
Looking to the skies I can see the ashes falling
Looking to the shy I can see it all coming down
I can never give up
I can never give up my fights right
I can never give out
I can never give out because mine is right
My fight is truth
My fight is truth
nice
Top 3 breakdown of all time
yes..sir
So what are your other top 2?
“Hip to be Square” by Huey Lewis and the News and “Sussudio” by Phil Collins
I agree. There's prob a Hatebreed breakdown in the top 3 as well imo
Agreed.🤘🏻
This song needs at least 5 million views.
Good shit from my youth! Still holds up 20 years later! Hard-core lives!
This is hardcore!!!
saw them in Miami Florida . for the " One truth " tour . was amazing
1997 ? damn ... this is so f***ing great !!
They just wrapped up recording with Igor Cavalera behind the kit, now tracking back in LA, said to be of In This Defiance kind of sound. I'm happy.
2020 the Best Metalcore 23 years👊👊👊🔥🔥🔥🔥
This shit still hits sooooo damn hard. God these guys were good. So much fun live too.
The perfect hardcore sound imo. That guitar tone and sic riffage🔥
Love those no double bass breakdowns. Bring that back
It's an album older than my age group, and I knew this song was insane the moment I first heard it.
Seeing them on the Persistence tour with Suicidal & Terror! Can't wait!!
Looking to the skies I can see the ashes falling
Looking to the shy I can see it all coming down
I can never give up
That guitar spin right before the BREAKDOWN❤
It was a bass
Noch immer der absolute Hammer!!!
GOOD SSHIT since 97.
Still Gold - 1:33
Golden indeed!
Listening to Strife with a Meshuggah ad to the right. VEVO, YOU'RE FINALLY DOING IT RIGHT.
Still bangin this LOUD AF 2022!!!!!
STRIFE 4 LIFE!!
cant believe it says 1997, this hits harder than most of today posi core
Me too, I though I picked up In this Defiance in '96.
@@rockforlight In This Defiance released in '97
This is hardcore!!! Hardcore until the end. Best wishes, from Brazil.
Saw these guys in Rhode Island amazing!
Strife is a good band period. Like others have alluded to, lots of Straight Edge kids policing the shows and too much politics, but good music.still.
@1:28...HEAVIEST BREAKDOWN IN HARDCORE HISTORY...
HC STILL LIVES 🤘🇮🇩
Thank you from the bottom of my heart🔥🔥🔥🙏
I love open hihats so much I refuse to play anything else
Absolute Legendary piece of work!!! Not much else needed to be said.
Look into the skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see the ashes falling!!!!!!!!!!!

Been watching this video on and off for years. When I need reminding of how bands once were
Those snare
Best real hardcore band ewer!
Its a Hardcore icone!
All these young "hardcore" kids should watch this video as a prerequisite for listening to any modern day hardcore band.
agree haha so there will be no annoying debate between millenial snob hardcore kids haha love this comment

Hardest shit i've ever moshed to. This track kills everything!
I remember buying the cinema beer nuts VHS in maybe ‘97 or ‘98 to see shit like assorted jelly beans and being fuckin blown away by this song/video.
Back in the 90's. Miss it so much!!

strife never let me down. all their album was great!!
The production of this album …🔥🔥Major props to Slayer for their influence to the scene.
I love how straightforward and simple the production of this song and video is. No fat, all muscle. And god, metalcore started going in some horrifically overproduced and shitty directions a couple years after this.
the foundation was laid and these guys smoothed it out
True will be my frnd.
My teenage love it

Bruh! Seen them few years ago on Anarchy Tour with Madball and Lionheart or something like that. It was fu**in awsome! Pure dedication on stage.
Beat down part love it....

Mejor dicho 23 años después, está música es de 1997
Totalmente…ya no hay nada que se parezco a esto.
