Totally! I saw them years ago when they were still only hawking their EP and they gave me that feeling in my gut that one gets when hearing a brand new band and being like, "These guys are incredible." Keep up the good work dudes!
One of the best releases of the year 2014, Black Crown Initiate have definitely topped my list of the 'Best band of 2014'. All the songs on the album are frigging amazing!
Saw these guys in Knoxville a few weeks back (w/Dying Fetus & Jungle Rot).... absolutely amazing live! I met the singer and the 2 guitarists, all of them were super cool and laid back. if you get a chance to see them, DO NOT let it pass you by.
+Gabriel Morales i don't think so, Aeon has a more prog vibe and Black has this like subtile, idk if it's written like that, Djent flavor in their riffs
Never heard of these guys before watching this video - I now know what I'm buying next \m/ Brutal 8 strings, dig the energy of this band. Fuck yaaa - See you in Hollywood Feb 22 with Napalm - in the pit.
Hands down, the best new album of 2014. Listen to "Great Mistake". No retards arguing about whatever genre this is, just straight fucking metal. And a few beard references.
Great song, but I kept wondering if that beard was getting caught in the strings. I can imagine that not being too pleasant. I'm wondering, too, who does the clean vocals. Didn't hear any in this song, so I didn't get to find out. More searching, I think. :)
But these guys don't have a positive message for the kids, unlike real metal like Asking Alexandria or June in December, or Insert Redundant Oxymoron Here*
+Devonshire Pee what real message aa is 00000000000000000 induced dog shit black crown initiate is the future of metal and aa will always be a terrible boy band
This whole album makes me want to ^&%! a badger with a &^%$#@* in it's (!@$#%#@. That being said who picked which song should be "the single"? My order would have been Human Lie Manifest - Purge - Withering Waves. Those three songs show off more of the dynamics that I love this band for; and Purge is so fucking brutal. That being said, I'm not an A&R guy, maybe I'm in the wrong. And if you haven't, go check out the EP "Song of the Crippled Bull" by this band. It's on youtube as well, 4 songs that flow into each other so seamlessly it could easily be one 20-something minute track instead. One of the best EPs I've ever had the pleasure of getting my hands on. My .02
Triggered? Ask any producer and he'll tell you the same. It restricts the mic from getting the whole sound. Learn some music before you open your sensitive ass to talk, bro. "Poser", that's what you gotta say? Lol
This song made my beard quintuple in length.
Mine too, but alas zero times five is still zero.
you're lucky - I had the stereo turned up to 11 and now I resemble chewbacca.
Mine wouldve but with no facial hair it all just went to my balls. Oh well these birds nesting here will make fine friends.
The small amount of scruff on my face coward in fear. I haven't grown hair on my face since..
beard mute > palmmute
This band is WAY MORE BRUTAL at a live gig than an album or video could ever do justice.
I just saw them last night they are fucking incredible live
shizo66 So good.
Saw them 2 days ago. Fucking awesome set.
agreed, saw them a couple weeks ago and they put on a damn good set, just wish their bassist would turn up so you can hear his tapping
Totally! I saw them years ago when they were still only hawking their EP and they gave me that feeling in my gut that one gets when hearing a brand new band and being like, "These guys are incredible." Keep up the good work dudes!
Beards and skills. Winning combination
what have I been doing with my life that I haven't listened to these guys?
Not growing a beard
0:39 confused drummer
The guy with the Ibanez probably has to never wipe down his guitar after shows since his beard does it while he headbangs.
Probably
This pure and gracious chaos
One of the best releases of the year 2014, Black Crown Initiate have definitely topped my list of the 'Best band of 2014'.
All the songs on the album are frigging amazing!
You check out their ep?
Anthony Dietz not as good as the album, but still some really nice chops on that one.
Saw these guys in Knoxville a few weeks back (w/Dying Fetus & Jungle Rot).... absolutely amazing live! I met the singer and the 2 guitarists, all of them were super cool and laid back. if you get a chance to see them, DO NOT let it pass you by.
Love the fast growling style
2:04 ACTION SHOT!!
Holy fuck. Saw this in suggested videos, gave it a listen, and then listened to it a dozen more times. Did not expect that.
This band live is awesome!
Ziad Rima YES I saw them in east coast canada. amazing
1:06 haven't heard something this good in death metal since Spheres of Madness by Decapitated. Fucking masterful
The drummer is amazing
The way he holds the mic reminds me on Mikael Akerfeldt's Wacken-concert with Bloodbath. :)
fuck, I can't stop listening this album !! I'm addicted to ur music guys. Thank you so much for ur amazing music \m/
Long Live Black Crown Initiate !!
remember when this came out in highschool. That ride has NO business being that filthy at 2:23 XD
You guys are amazing. I preordered The Wreckage of Stars as soon as I could after I saw you with FGA and Septicflesh. So good! Keep it up!
That blast!
Brutal Skilled Music!
After watching this, my beard grew another 4 inches
I need more of this....This whole album, just, WOW
wow
To me, this is just beautiful.
Fucking WICKED!
Too much man in this video 👆👆👌
this band is the future of heavy metal
Noooooo que som "desgraçado de FODAAAAAA!""""
Ltd Stephen Carpenter, satisfaction to see that!!!
Truly epic band, and this is only my first listen. Slightly reminds me of Battlecross
do they come from the Wyatt Family?
This song kicks ass
That riff is so fucking heavy that Hulk fucking ripped his pants trying to pick it up.
Enfin voir des oreilles et entendre des yeux........Merci et Respects!!!
Beautiful, blue eyed, long haired/bearded, tall men playing with hard hitting/playing boy-like rhythm section : BCI , Gotta love this. ;-)
It's like a new Aeon of Horus.
+Gabriel Morales i don't think so, Aeon has a more prog vibe and Black has this like subtile, idk if it's written like that, Djent flavor in their riffs
Great drummer - really enjoyed his live playing!
I played this beside me my cat and he grew a mane 🦁
Watching this has given me severe beard envy.
Awesome.
Haters gon' hate. I'm normally not into super heavy stuff, but Andy Thomas is a fuckin' beast guitar player
Excellent
great!
Brilliant
FRA-CHUD!
Heck yeah loved this video, kept me glued till the end. Great sound!!!
\m/,
Never heard of these guys before watching this video - I now know what I'm buying next \m/ Brutal 8 strings, dig the energy of this band. Fuck yaaa - See you in Hollywood Feb 22 with Napalm - in the pit.
10 views and no comments? HERESY! This band kicks ass, thoroughly enjoying the full length!
These guys are coming to PEI in a bar smaller then a bachelor pad, gonna be rad \m/_ see ya soon boys.
Beardcore
what song is Weird Al parodying here?
nice job guys, reading Rocks
Hands down, the best new album of 2014. Listen to "Great Mistake".
No retards arguing about whatever genre this is, just straight fucking metal. And a few beard references.
this is pretty good. im not sure why, but i really liked crippled bull EP alot more than the debut album
Similar to Bloodshot Dawn
Great song, but I kept wondering if that beard was getting caught in the strings. I can imagine that not being too pleasant. I'm wondering, too, who does the clean vocals. Didn't hear any in this song, so I didn't get to find out. More searching, I think. :)
Andy, the bearded wonder, sings cleans.
Who needs Necrophagist when Black Crown Initiate is around?
i need
You really are going to compare this crap to Necrophagist?!
Hugo Fuentez you call this crap???? dude
Hugo Fuentez you're going to speak down on BCI while praising that shit?
To each his own
Gandalf? Is that you?
does your beard hair ever get caught in your guitar strings?
Do they play a little bit faster in the album version or is it just me?
Maybe it's because I can see them playing that it looks slower...The mind plays tricks!
Jesse is such a damn beast. Kinda sad that he left RoS though. Oh well, he fits this band way better anyways.
What is ROS?
Rings of Saturn
Jesus In a metal band
Stephen Carpenter guitar.
That's fucking brutal.
ko
Lol who were the 52 assholes that didn't like this? Probably thought that Motionless in White or Asking Alexandria is better. Ugh.
But these guys don't have a positive message for the kids, unlike real metal like Asking Alexandria or June in December, or Insert Redundant Oxymoron Here*

The vocalist reminds me of a metal weird Al! Lol
CLANK
Badass song but
stop
cupping
the
damn
mic.
Too bad, he's holding it wrong.
Triggered? Ask any producer and he'll tell you the same. It restricts the mic from getting the whole sound. Learn some music before you open your sensitive ass to talk, bro.
"Poser", that's what you gotta say? Lol
i cant understand a thing he says... haha
Anti matterhut or listen to enough to death metal to actually understand like me :D
Ryan Reynolds on drums)))
Kirill Samartsev and Braun Strowman on guitar
Listen! It's a pig!
The only one worth watching is the guitarist with the huge beard. Without him the band is an unshineable terd
Other than that, the whole band are technical monsters, how can't you see that?
22 strings. 0 feelings.
check out withering waves
meh... Babymetal is better.
Babymetal is OK. This takes considerable amount of talent to play.
+DerSohnDesAlvaters You are free to leave then.
