The rap verse on the intermission is sick stop hating hahahaha
Agreed. Lol. Shouts out Shakewell.
Was unfamiliar but he is part of the $uicideBoys & Pouya collab.
The Rap verse on the intermission is sick.
This review and the reviewer are just expressing an opinion and its the wrong opinion.
This record is a 9 out of 10 and the reason being is that the record is short. I want more Drain and I want more Drain (yesterday) now....
Absolutely loved the intermission track and the cohesiveness of melding the two genres tastefully.
To be fair the only reason they included shakewell on the interlude part is that, originally shakewell was a hardcore / deathcore vocalist / bassist and while he is now a rapper he was a prominent figure in the LA / Monterey/ santa cruz hardcore / metal scenes
And hes probably friends with drain
His band was betrayal btw was the deathcore band betrayal
@@rosiegothicc666 idk anything about shakewell but i would say that's probably true. and also, most of the time when hardcore bands collab with someone nowadays, it's because they're homies, they're in the scene, recorded with them, etc, so outsiders will always question the weird or different collabs or features or whatever on records and fault it as a negative because they just don't know much about the band or their peers
I thought the interlude went really well with the album, hardcore and rap kind of go hand in hand in a way. Also just knowing the background of Drain and the Bay Area scene, it seems pretty obvious that it was included as a shoutout to their homies in the scene.
One of my favorite albums so far this year. Been on constant replay for me and it’s always a fun time.
Your last few reviews have been killer. Don't tell Blaine, you might be my new favorite Banger reviewer.
Blaine is terrible. He only likes obscure black metal and doom. Also he is about as funny as piles.
Never heard of these guys. I was actually listening to this album randomly at work today. I was looking for something new and the album art attracted me. I felt 'punky' at the moment. Clicked play and wasn't disappointed! The rap verse made me think I was listening to a different band entirely for a minute, had to dig in my pocket and check the screen haha. Overall pretty nice!
I have no idea how I missed these guys because this sounds right up my alley. Excited to listen to the debut.
Cool Cloak shirt!
You and Riley are by far the best reviewers on this channel. Keep up the good work. 🤟
Long time metal head and the intermission is sick i thought of it as way to appeal to a broader audience (like u mentioned) Building a bridge to another completely different type of genre.
A lot of hardcore kids are big fans of rap and hip hop as well, so it’s also a cool way to add some other kinds of music that the main audience for the album is gonna be into.
Hardcore is like metal that takes itself less seriously and keeps it fun. Also how could you not love breakdowns?
PMA crossover on top forever
For me this album was ALMOST just ALMOST PERFECT, like so close. Two small complains and if it was the other way, it would have been a 10/10. Complain number one, the Interlude should have been the album Intro, it felt to me that killed all momentum and restarted it but I would have loved to be an intro instead of an Interlude. Second complain, the ending feels just meh, that slowdown into a fade out feel so meh, I wish I finished up with more of a BANG. Two small complains short of perfect, 8/10, DRAIN really brought it to light, this is Living Proof that you can achieve your dreams if you just put your heart to it. Cant wait to see how big DRAIN get with this record, this could be the next Turnstile.
i think the intermission would have been stronger if it was just the rap part. drain coming in with instruments, the riffs in the intermission are very basic, it just feels like they just wrote it in 5 minutes cuz they needed a break. but like... why are they doing an intermission of more heavy music? if they wanted a little break, why not just keep it the rap part to give the listener a break. in california cursed, "hollister daydream" was a sick intermission, very 80s testament style riffing, but inserting a break of basic heavy riffs just feels like filler. i like the album opening hard with RUN YOUR LUCK so it's hard to say where i would part the rap interlude. the ending is very weak. i thought after sammy yells "living proof" and after a few of those simple strummed guitar chords, they were going to come back with the heaviest breakdown on the record.. but it just fizzles out. living proof starts hard with that catchy cowbell intro but has no real breakdowns, hooks, catchy riffs or solos.. honestly living proof is probably my least favorite and filler song on the record. and then it just ends, then has a 60+ second boring outro, which for this album, feels like an eternity.
I wouldn’t compare Drain to turnstile. Turnstile is more like what scowl is doing Drain stays hardcore forever
@@jtkappy7742 Yeah I didnt mean in sound I mean in like BLOWING UP and getting big or well BIGGER than they already are.
Hey Daniel, great review Drain are an awesome band. I was at the Carcass gig in London last night. I saw that you were at the front with security taking pics. It was a great night.
Great and fun review! Will check out DRAIN
thanks for the shout outs. \m/
the live intermission is fuckin epic Sammy gets in the crowd and has everyone get down really low then builds everybody up and it breaks out in a wild mosh
This album is sick, but watch out for Mindwar’s “Still At War” being released later this month. That album is going to CRUSH.
This is one of the best young bands in Hardcore. They took a stale scene and made it great again. Love this record!
Love this album ❤
Listened right after this review. Amazing skip the interlude and this is my favorite release of the year so far.
Hell yeah good coverage of the album. I grew up in Santa Cruz and used too love seeing drain play in cafe pregotits. That's not it's actual name I just called it that hahaah. Place is closed down now sadly
Thought it was just me who heard the Black Diamond outro 😅
Curious about you guys thoughts on terrasite 🤔
Great band, great album. Seeing them in MTL next month.
Yall should've reviewed the new cattle decapitation album
got the same clock shirt sickkk
How many spin kicks did you do while listening?
This album rules!
Think maybe you missed the joke about the “intermission.” Cool review. This album is freakin amazing. Epitaph records still holding it down. DESCENDENTS, still the greatest band ever 🤓😎🥸
🤝 gotta agree, Descendents are one of the greats!
I’m an old dude now but I feel like I would have been friends with Daniel if he was alive in 1988. 😂
Drain is easily one of the best Hardcore bands out there right now! And for anyone that likes this I would like you to know that Hardcore has a TON of heavy bands right now even if they are technically not metal bands so dive in!
Can you please recommend a few? Thank you!
@@tundraillustration Hey there sorry I didn't see this until now! Gonna drop a couple specific albums and then a list of bands!

@@MIKELiscrazy No worries! Thank you so much! :)
I didn't know Doug DeMuro fronted a hardcore band
I’m the 100th like, yay
I loved California Cursed but this didn't land as strong for me. The riffs were less catchy and that rap was almost parodying themselves to the point of cheese. Still good but they need to get back to the main thing they did well which was hooky, riffy, crossover
This album kicks ass & I ain't stopped listening to it but that decendents cover should have been axed, the intermission is cool!💖
Shaking babies and kissing hands 😆😆
They may have to change the name to hardcore lol
Cody’s riffs are just as big as his _____!
I thought this was another Drain STH lp...sigh no hot Scandanavian blonds here tho. Lol
Thrashy stuff isn't usually my sort of thing, but I can give it a shot.
PS: OKAY, FINE, I'LL TRY BLOOD CEREMONY. SWEAR TO GOD THEY'VE BEEN A SHOUT OUT IN EVERY VIDEO FOR A MONTH.
JK I'm chill, Ily guys.
Idk, just not for me. I appreciate others like it but im not much into core. Maybe ill give it a go.
Im just old hesh way pumped on enforcer haha
Only Hardcore band worth giving a shit about
deadheat give them a shot
Bro is allergic to good music
