In 2008 I was in middle school. my step dad gave me a SD card, I put in my DSi and opened the audio app, it was a mix of songs but I will never forget this song as my first experience with heavy metal.
The intro is as legit as it gets Have the mind to know what to do or fold if you must Known when you've won And dont make things personal refrain from making poor decisions that leave footprints
Sacrament is good too but this album is soo fuckin heavy and full of groove. The most emotional album for me, brings the goddamn vibe and adrenaline!! The best album so far!
Idk “As the Palaces Burn” has some damn good groovin riffs! First 3 albums forever. Nothing after compares. Production quality of their new stuff is amazing; songwriting, not so much.
I think wrath is easily their most brutal album in terms of lyrics and riffs. But then i don't have any childhood or teen memories of any albums. I started listening around resolution.

i was still in elementary when i knew this song through my cousin who's 8 years older than me and i remember him talking passionately about the band & album (bc i was often watching him use the pc back then). ive come to like it ever since even though i only know the intro 😂 now im in college and this shit still slaps
Wow... I listen to this song everyday at work (playlist) and I just learned you are in Quebec... one of these days... you will sing for me... so sad I missed the show
My friend knows how to play this on drums bro 🔥🤘🏼 I gotta learn it too I tried it but I’m still kinda rusty at the drums it’s been awhile playing the drums tbh 🙏🏽😢
One day this album will be considered classic metal. Ashes of the wake is really there best work.
100% agree. Every single song is pure American metal. They have amazing consecutive albums, but it doesn't get any more pure than Ashes.
Definitely. Their most best selling album
By far!

Also "keep my name from your mouth forever, praise be for the living, dead men tell no tales your laughing finger will never point againnnnn"
This is one of the best metal songs ever made .
Jesus Christ we love you son our kingdom hearts

Ashes of the Leviathan here we go. I cant belive Im still rocking to this album even 20 years later. Keep rocking!
Going to that concert in August 🤘🤘
The greatest vocalist in metal genre
I'll agree to that....I am 58 been listening to the hardest rock since age 9 and I've never heard another metal voice that can do what this man does is All I know for sure!
Gosh, the Guitar tone of this whole album is so epic and the special Chris Alder dual bass drums with click symbol sound.
Mark and willie for the win!

And today, still ? just checking
Agreed 👍
A d till this day still the best
it's very good.

Still blows my mind how heavy this is and its only tuned to drop D
It's not the tuning it's what you do with the tuning.
Drop D is the heaviest tuning my guy. It doesn't matter how low you go. Drop D has the heaviest sound to it, always.
It hasn't gotta be Double Drop D to be heavy, heavy has little to do with the tuning. Even E Standard can be fucking heavy!
