Imagine if all the metal heads in the world stopped fucking trashing every band that comes along that gets the slightest bit of recognition, and instead we supported them because hell, maybe they might not be your favorite band, but at least they are still fuckin metal and not the pop r&b bullshit the mainstream media shoves down all our throats. Just a thought
i like it, cause i like rap and metal, and also cause it breaks one of the music industry racial stereotypes, which segregates whites to rock and blacks to rap music, but hacktivist shows that black guy can be in a rock band (ideally he should be singer not rapper), and that white and black guys can rap equally good. time for change in mainstream music media, especially TV.
I like how with each release the vocalists develop more individual sounds. Before they released the Hacktivist EP I couldn't tell the difference between the two, now it's pretty clear.
Nu-Djental. And for the people saying that guitars are too easy. Yes they are. But it still sounds groovy and driving. Most of nu-metal bands use really use easy composition
So fucking large. Sound, mix, material, FUCKING EVERYTHING just keeps getting better with every release. DO NOT STOP doing what you are doing. Easily the most unique act in heavy music right now.
I like what these guys are doing. They use their music as a weapon, speaking out loud about all the crap in the government, in contrast to rapping about money, cars n prostitutes.
Hacktivist songs with James on clean vocals are mine favourite. I know some people don`t like them as much as I do, but I still hope this song won`t be the last one with his choirs ;) KEEP IT UP HACKTIVIST!!!
People can hate as much as they'd like. I love this band, I love what they've put out so far, and I love this song. Looking forward to more from Hacktivist; that, and a US tour. Bring the beginning of change to America.
I saw them live in France with Limp Bizkit the 9th of June and they were already playing this song as a "prototype" to see fans' reactions and I really loved it ! Since that day I was hardly waiting for the final version and wow... I'm not disappointed , it's even better than I thought it would be , AWESOME ! Hacktivist is definately in my favorite bands top 5.
I think they should spend time making a full length album. It'd be the best thing that happened to the listeners. Their stuff is absolutely new and fresh. And true to their name. Hacktivist. And they're using Hacktivism to spread the truth.
I cant believe i just found these guys! holy shit ive been missing out! A lot of these new bands today do the heavy technical guitar thing but it gets to the point in a lot of them where it gets to technical and it loses u. This band I think has mastered that craft of making it technical while keeping it accessible and engaging. I need an album!
It's not horrible. I think I'd have to listen to it a few times, but there's a lot of bands I've had to listen to a few times and now they're some of my favorite.
This song is soooo fucking good, I love all their stuff and I even got to rock out on stage for their final song in Warrington and I was in total euphoria om stage with these guys, about 10 fans came up with me and we was singing niggas in paris all together to close out the show, mental!
Smashing it guys, so happy to see you lot doing so well for yourselves. Throwback Reading last year, awesome set looking forward to seeing you again soon
Why do I see no comments about what they are actually saying in the song? I mean, yeah, the song is pretty good, I like it (even though I'm by no means into rap) but the message is also important. After all, ultimately music serves the purpose of transmitting a message in a way that has a deeper impact and wider reach than just words. At least that's my humble opinion...
A great band with a real groove to their music, that have written some very truthful and important raps about the state of the world! I saw them live last year and they are just electric, I hope they keep going for a long time!
The chorus isnt weak, it's the voice on the chorus that is a bit monotonous. I've heard way worse. Overall, don't like the intro riff, just too generic and expect more from Hacktivist, quite surprised by the chorus, liked it, and the repeat at 2:21 onward is pretty tight. They still have a good sound and I've listened to it 4 times in a row. So I guess it's pretty good
To anyone saying comments involving the phrases 'bunch of chavs' or anything like that then you should really not judge. These guys are from the place I grew up, I know three of them and none of them are chavs. If you don't like the music then go watch something else. Or if you feel to put a negative comment at least make a constructive diss and say what it was that you didn't like about it and how you think they could do it better
+Officialseveremusic Unfortunately Alternative people can be just as critical of others, as a defender of the faith myself i feel the only way to be is accepting of all, even if they choose to wear Umbro. These lads are absolutely next level, hope they get all the success they deserve!
Im curious why they dont have an album out yet tho, i mean with almost a million views on all there songs there is DEFINITELY label interest. I wonder if its the pressure or they just prefer doing singles here and there.

Ahhh frickin' love those grooves!
I knew you'd be here, you're all over this kinda music xD
You, here? :o ^-^ oh, and i really like your music
Hi Dave! :)
DAVE!
I'm a fucking idiot
I can't believe this was 8 years. I remember when this dropped and I was so hype
Imagine if all the metal heads in the world stopped fucking trashing every band that comes along that gets the slightest bit of recognition, and instead we supported them because hell, maybe they might not be your favorite band, but at least they are still fuckin metal and not the pop r&b bullshit the mainstream media shoves down all our throats.

*tips fedora ironically in appreciation of this guys post*
+waffloe although I do like metal
but these guys aint metal?
I would say djent a style of metal
+waffloe i would say its shit
This is WAAAY above everything new out there today. This is taking shit to the next level.
Not really.
Yes really.
Kimmy Bernhorn most definitely
You do realise that this is basically just nu metal with a slightly different sound?
dramapanorama That's like saying country is pop with a southern accent. It's true, but it still sounds totally different.
i like it, cause i like rap and metal, and also cause it breaks one of the music industry racial stereotypes, which segregates whites to rock and blacks to rap music, but hacktivist shows that black guy can be in a rock band (ideally he should be singer not rapper), and that white and black guys can rap equally good. time for change in mainstream music media, especially TV.
well said ;) I m really impatient to see what hacktivt has to offer in the future !
Actually English people tend to rap better than any of us Americans.
White OR black.
tehfaceguy no need for discriminating americans.
Look at monuments man
I like how with each release the vocalists develop more individual sounds. Before they released the Hacktivist EP I couldn't tell the difference between the two, now it's pretty clear.
*I remember this epic dude's part again* HELL YEAH
Nu-Djental. And for the people saying that guitars are too easy. Yes they are. But it still sounds groovy and driving. Most of nu-metal bands use really use easy composition
one of the most emotive / thought provoking metal bands out at the moment
So fucking large. Sound, mix, material, FUCKING EVERYTHING just keeps getting better with every release. DO NOT STOP doing what you are doing. Easily the most unique act in heavy music right now.
Really happy they added some singing in the chorus. Another level of goodness added!
Loving that chorus, this is exactly what I wanted from Hacktivist!

could you imagine if Issues toured with these guys. would be insanity
+glenn lawless never heard of them lol
+Matthew Jones issues - hooligans imo
Personality Cult
+glenn lawless NO!
+glenn lawless that would actually be pretty sick. throw in enter shikari and you got yourself one insane tour
People can hate as much as they'd like. I love this band, I love what they've put out so far, and I love this song. Looking forward to more from Hacktivist; that, and a US tour. Bring the beginning of change to America.
Grooves for days.
I saw them live in France with Limp Bizkit the 9th of June and they were already playing this song as a "prototype" to see fans' reactions and I really loved it !

You guys have your own unique style don't change it for anyone this band is fucking great.
I've been hyped for this song since the video of it being played live in Russia. It definitely delivered.

Love the energy. Makes me wanna run and smash into things!!! About time something different is presented! Love it.
Oh my, it's like I've stepped back to the year 2000... I'm not sure I wanted to go back.
This band blows my fucking mind. I love every song and I NEVER thought I'd say that about a rap metal band.
Happy Birthday, Hacktivist
This guys cleans were awesome in Heart of a Coward, and they're awesome here. Been waiting for new Hacktivist for ages
Reading 2014 Main Stage \m/
You know. First band playing being the best one :L
The hype is real !!!
A tour with you and Volumes would work so well. Bring it to Australia if you do :)
Was skeptical at first but I think it works surprisingly well
It's not horrible. I think I'd have to listen to it a few times, but there's a lot of bands I've had to listen to a few times and now they're some of my favorite.
This song is soooo fucking good, I love all their stuff and I even got to rock out on stage for their final song in Warrington and I was in total euphoria om stage with these guys, about 10 fans came up with me and we was singing niggas in paris all together to close out the show, mental!

Hacktivist are crazy good, they just put it all together. Maybe Monuments is up there in terms of grooves.
Love it lads, see you at Reading!
