2024 and I’m still listening to this!! One of my all time favorite metal songs!!
Extremely underrated band
I kind of hope this video stays up exactly like this so the kids can see how we suffered in 2006.
For sure, but this version has crazy audio quality, it's sorta bad but hell those bass drops are crunchy af, even with this quality you can still get the gist of the video too 👌
@@allistergraham6704 going back to the proper version, without the crunch... kinda makes me like this even more
🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
it really takes me back
@@lewissavaidis I swear, back when MTV2 was still playing Headbangers Ball, this exact version was being played there. Every song had audio favoring the left side...
This is metal in its purest form.
From the 1st time I heard this in high school on Fuse, to today, I absolutely agree. Between the riffs, drums, video, vocals, it’s pure metal.
I felt the need to leave a comment. One of my best friends, my little brother, a piece of me, introduced me to this song about 10 years ago. Since then, ive become a fan of most of Devins projects. Poke (Ian) died last year of diabetes complications. One of the rare occasions that I cried. Under my sociopathic urges and projections, I lost a bit of me that was real and ill never get it back. Everytime I go home, every nook and corner that we filled will be empty to me. He was one of my favorite human beings. Ill never be able to tell him that I love him again. I will however have this piece of music to remember and cherish our friendship. I miss you dude, you were my family. Where ever the fuck you are, I hope you and Sir Mix Alot are tearing those fatties up. Rest in piece bro and thanks for all of the culture I would have missed, this band included, had you not put them in front of me. RIP Le Finger. You are missed.
I’ll have one for Poke tonight, brah. 🤘🏼🖤
How are you holding up now?
man, that hurts. hope you're doing alright
Hope all is good brother!
I appreciated reading this, Thank you. Much Love, Hail True Metal.
The literal voice of wrath. The man is a legend.
Only devin can take the most balls-to-the-wall sound and throw in a catchy chorus and still be respected -3
Check out a band called Stam1na
This song is a timeless classic. Never dull, always memorable.
Gene hoglan!! The drumming machine! Freaking atomic clock! Dude literally plays in every metal band!
He’s probably the best that I’ve ever seen live. Gavin Harrison and Dave Lombardo also 🤘🏻Brann Dailor is a definite mention. Unfortunately, I never saw Kenneth Schalk from Candiria or Tomas Haake from Meshuggah.
Yeah man long live Gene🤘
I got his drum stick he tossed to the crowd at a Fear Factory show. The girls infront of me couldn't jump lol snaked it from them.😂
Few have any idea how Genes drumming had the largest impact on so much metal in the last 30 years.
A great Valentines Day song! :P
ahah yes sure
+Michel Newcomb , This band's version of a ballad..........
Has been my Valentines day anthem for years
14-2-2018
that is so true.
Just heard of them through Spotify and holy fuck this album just became one of my all time favorites! Why hasn't the whole world heard of them yet? This is strength to the max!
Bc 18 years years ago there was way better bands out. Still is today.
This guy’s a monster. I challenge you to find even ten metal vocalists who have this lung capacity. BEAST.
Lamb of God vocalist always blew my tits off, but thats only 1. Challenge failed
Will gets it done but gene on the drums. My god. Could wake me and put me to sleep at the same time
@@darrennoble1474 sorry but no. Devin is on a way higher level of range and control. I really like Will and LS but you are about to compare a single LP and EP to over 20 LP‘s of know-how.
Alex the terrible?
@@dustinchesnut9264lmao stop it
Devin's mug could easily decorate any Iron Maiden album, without being edited.
Cleo Z
R.I.P. that awesome skullet.
+ParappatheRapper Broke my heart in about 31 pieces when I seen it went the way of the do-do bird. :(
+ParappatheRapper lol dude, I don't know why he didn't shave that monstrosity of earlier? Just fucking brutal!
This man is a fucking genious
+Darren Madden genius
Yo these bass drops were so heavy it took the rest of devins hair
Lmfaoooo
Aaaaaawesome post.....hahahaha.
😁😁😁😁😁😁
😝🤘
omfg LOL
Devin Townsend is awesome, what an incredible voice. He's a god !
Devin Townsend is a musical genius and everything he touches is fucking gold
It's absolutely insane how he has consistently released great albums for decades. Some artists strive for one single great record, and Devin just keeps releasing them without a single drop of sweat on his shiny, beautiful, brilliant, bald head
i dont think he does it effortlessly. He talks about it in Japanese version of Transcendence, can't remember the song rigt now, but its awesome@@silverblood9456
The song is called Young Gods@@silverblood9456
Man I wish they had more tunes like this. The sound is just amazing, like skesis as well. Heavy, melodic, and just straight in your face, yet simple. And his vocals are amazing here.
Devin Townsend's voice is a fucking force...wow
Yeah he is the best at the growls and screams and kicks ass at the melodic singing as well!
His giant pie-hole is the perfect conduit for melodic rage.
probably the best voice to ever be in the metal business
@@colins7771 He sounds like a choir of heavy metal.
Devin Townsend is trained in choir singing.
One of the craziest things about Strapping Young Lad is you can hear so many insane elements from so many different styles. Devin is amazing at merging styles. This shit is amazing.
Gollum's a pretty sick vocalist
This is EPIC and my goto song. Thank you so much!!! Crunchy as all heck
I got to see them play this live in Spokane Washington at a tiny bar. It was during the Alien tour and I was one foot from Devin the whole show. Got to meet all of the band members and tell them they were my favorite band. (Even smoked weed with Byron) Life changing night.
Despite the production value, I still say this is one of the BEST music videos I've ever seen. It's almost a perfect blending of Evil Dead with metal music. Very well produced on a small budget!
I feel this song perfectly captures a lot of things that makes metal timeless. This still sounds great, 16 years later.
Thank you someone mentioned evil dead 😂
Deicide's self titled album is a better blending of metal with Evil Dead.
I don't think it's a result of budget restrictions, I believe it is an intentional choice.
I would love to hear this remastered
YIKES, UA-cam's compression can't handle all the lovely bass! xD
Eh damn, that's what makes it even more powerfull and awesome.
Wish it was like that in the album too. lol
agreed that bass will make your nose shoot it's load
so ture hahahaha its sad hahahaha
lol
It can barely handle Devin´s voice. The man´s to powerful.
One of the most creative and heavy bands ever.
This was the first video I ever watched on YT. Still rocks. Love the Evil Dead theme.
same
I remember seeing this video on headbangersball when I was 14 back in 2005 and at first it was so freaking extreame I couldn’t even handle it but after a few days and hearing it a few more times I fell in love with the song!!
I also love seeing Devon from back then compared to now in 2018, it’s such a contrast I love it!!!!
One of the heaviest bands I've ever seen. Riffs were absolutely crushing
Only Devin can make a song about love brutal.
gojira did it.
+Jaycave that's all I've thought since i knew that this song was a thing because I fucking love Gojira
ummm Pantera??
Type o negative
Cannibal corpse? Fucked with a knife? And just about every behemoth song is a fucking love song. To a dude. With horns...
this mastering is insane....
Yes! Thank you.
This song came on and I totally buttered my bread so hard there's now a small rip in the bread.
#metal
You mean it disintegrated your bread
Lol
It took me 5 years to find this priceless comment. You are great
Peace was never an option
I love how this video is like an evil dead parody, just adds to how legendary this song is
I guess they decided our left ear was the best ear
bhwahaa spot on
it is from 2006 the first year of youtube
Yeah basically at the time of this upload UA-cam was barely 6 months old.
true
Actually the left ear is better at picking up sounds of affection or something look it up
This song redefined my love of music.... it actually let me know what was metal or not.
That is so great . I felt the same way when i got the album city. And i found the band death at same time. Changed my whole life
I remember showing this to my mom when it first came out. She’s passed now, glad this is still here.
Did this come straight off Limewire?
from KaZaa
Yea in 2006 Century Media was uploading rips off limewire. Granted, this song needs a remastered upload this shit is 14 years old
those were the days haha
@@djlowtek No it doesn't. Not everything has to be remastered to be fit on your boring modern taste.
@@WinterandNoodle Too idiotic to realize we're talking about the quality of this youtube UPLOAD and not the song itself?? dumbass
One of my favorite all time metal songs. Devin is a genius.
One of their best songs honestly
Aah, I love that chorus! How was I a fan of Devin for so long without looking into SYL?
I have loved this song from the very first time I accidentally saw the video on some music channel when it first came out.
The part where he sing " For I'm not the man you know" has always stuck out.
There is something so eerie/dark about it that I love from a horror view point!
this came out when my second spawn was born! and he is a metal head because I raised him to respect the LAD🤘
That's an incredible chorus. Great melody with the chord progression and vocals. \m/
Your right! You are still around?
I'll wait for the night to come
So far, suicide at home
For I'm not the man you know
This love, it's about control
I remember when I was convinced there was no good metal bands I had never heard of... Then I cam across this piece of genius :D
This is me today
Devin Townsend is one of the most underrated geniuses in the world.
Honestly one of the most metal songs I've heard
And on vocals,
Pickles, the drummer.
FluffyDonkey oddly enough that's Gene Hoglan on the drums here, same guy that does all the drums for dethklok
And Dark Angel....tssss, thats the main-thing here...
Doodly do. Ding dong doodly doodly doo.
Lmao
LOL
This is one of the most epic vibes ever. I return to this very much.
How have i not heard of this band before, they sound fucking awesome
Spam45 came here after some comments on a mh song and yes how have i not heard them before!!
ME too... thanks comments from M.H.
You guys should all be ashamed of yourselves. ;) Now go out and buy this album immediately. The production quality is so much better and even more colossal. The entire SYL discography is a god damn masterpiece.
MetalSkinz As I am now discovering.
'Alien' is an amazing album.
'The New Black' too. They all are, but I think those 2 gotta be my favs
The main riff on this defines the term "girth".
SYL at Donington 2006 is still one of the most intense gigs I've ever been at. Can't wait to see Dev next March.
First time I've ever heard this song and it is a fucking BANGER
Same
So happy to hear it again in Hellfest 2022. He swore to never play it again, but he did... it was awesome.
I remember seeing this back in 2008ish at sounds of the underground. This shit was sick live
I believe he said recently that he was going to play more SYL songs live, as they are also a part of himself, and he was denying that for too long.
Gene Hoglan on drums btw, the fucking Atomic Clock!!!!
Absolute legend
That evil dead style cam into the cabin is the best ever!
3M views and no better version of this video has popped up... still, gotta love it.
gene hoglan makes everything solid gold
One of the drumming GOATs
I will take these days over any of today's days! MTV, Daria, Bevis & Butthead, the dude with the alien in his head.
I will pay. Take me there.
Im almost 100% sure that Devin Townsend is the real life, musical equivalent of Trevor from GTA 5
Ryan Ohlson look at his face
That's exactly who Trevor was based on. :)
casey... incorrectamundo
More like pickles the drummer of dethklok from Metalocalypse
@@strNpwrKC its abslolutely perfect. But im not certain its been official, but I wouldnt be surprised. Trevors personallity is almost exactly like Devs its scary... Well Strapping Young Lad Devin at the very least.
Iiiiiii know what I staaaaand for;
I STAAAAAND FOR ME!!
Happy valen..... MAAAAAARCCCCCCCHHHHH!!!!
Man, I remember this song when I was a kid. Some guy screaming at a light bulb, lol.
Now I get it, and it's awesome.
This is metal of the best quality. I mean. It's brutally efficient, this particular melody and strucutre are just too much original and a kick-ass vocal track of pretty profound. A winner combination, if you want my opinion.
yay!! a good band formed in my home town, Vancouver!!!!
Dude I love the f'ed up sound quality!
The 1990’s what a time to be alive..🤘
Fast forward 2023 “Sick” 🤘🤘
Yup, and I just met Devin 5 days ago 😂
@@pattycrabby9749 Should we tell Luke? 😂
Best lovesong ever!!!Gene is the best drummer worldwide,no one can't beat'm
I've counted like 4 bass bombs and I'm not even half way through the song. SO HEAVY!
Any chance this could get a better quality re-up? This video deserves better!
i agree this is a dope song.
no leave it be.
Hands-down, the best metal songs ever created
Anyone remember the sounds of the underground 2005 tour? These guys where one of the best bands on the line-up.
I got this on a CM demo disc back in '05 at a metal club in Ithaca NY called The Haunt...I just found the entire disc loaded on an ancient MP3 player tonight and queued this up....this tune is still just as bad ass as it was when I first heard it 10 years ago ... \m/(>.
Well. Isn't that special
The new King of Pop
Ah 240p, we meet again...
+Andrew Tyson
haha bro, on these 10 pound speakers here doe = laewl
+Andrew Tyson WHAT YEAR IS IT?
Prolly saw one their last gigs before they exploded, they were fantastic.
One of the best metal songs ever.
Just perfect.
Still listening in 2020 🖤
"Love is a way of feeling less alone". So true!
this is the best 240p will ever sound.
Well that was intense I don’t even mind his hair style!
The skullet 😂
My Gorgeous Double Pedal Tune
I'm late getting to the Devin/S.Y.L. party but holy fucking God
David Murphy Same boat here, fuark!
David Murphy DT has one of the best scream/growls I've heard.
And I agree. My ears came.
David Murphy I'm jealous. I've been a fan for 18 years... I wish I could discover that entire back catalogue now, because there's so much it'd blow your mind.
I'm working through it my good man, hope is my latest favorite track...for now haha
David Murphy better late than never! \m/
I was so disappointed that this only played in my left ear. Gene Hoglan's bass drums blessed my left ear anyways.
One of my favorite bands and tunes.
Smooches from L.A.
Obvious Evil Dead reference. Groovy !!!!
2:05
.......and a Texas chainsaw massacre ref. Deadly!
***** nope the chainsaw is still an evil dead reference. In the first evil dead ash's hand gets infected with the demonic veiny shit, so he goes out to the shed at the back of the cabin and uses a chainsaw to cut it off. In the sequels he has modified the chainsaw so that it can be mounted on his stump, and uses his trusty " Boomstick " shotgun with his other hand :) in the 2013 remake its the sister who survives and loses her hand ( gets crushed under a flipped car, and she rips her arm away so she can reach a chainsaw laying nearby and kill the main demon with it ) hopefully they make a sequel with her as the chainsaw handed heroine some time soon :)
Tyce Pickett Actually, Ash's hand gets chopped off in 'Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn'.
Machine head ripping this song’s opening riff off made me check it out and by god... this is awesome. Always knew I needed to check out Mr Townsend
BY FAR Devin's best song.
use me as the “still rockin this is 2020” button
monotone and all lol
No
2022
2023
Well this is next level metal, technical and production wise!
2025 anyone?
Celebrating 20 years of this album
Yaaah🎉
Trying to figure out which part of the song to use in a reel
Yes, all 2025 pixels!
Bruce campbell anyone 2025
25 years since I discovered this man, and I'm as in love with everything he releases as I was then
Is it just me or was the quality of this video a whole lot better 14 years ago??
i miss SYL so much :(
and i also rly miss devin's awesome hair.
I rly hope that we will see heavier album this year from him
Best drummer evertime ^^
Very Randy Blythe sounding at times. These guys are amazing.
I love driving through a rich neighborhood with this song cranked up
I've watched this vid every day for a month...and while playing bo2..like this and my God-like self. We demand it.
Didn't know, that death metal song can be so intense, agressive and beautiful at same time.
True masterpiece.
This is prog metal, not death metal.
@@ree9371 Strapping can definately be death metal, no problem. Devins solo music is prog
RIP glorious skullet
Hello cueball
Hullo egghead 😂
I didn't know this at the time that I first saw this music video, but WOW, what a phenomenon homage and love to the cult classic Evil Dead films!
awesome song, sad they only had a potato available as recording equipment.
I kind of prefer it like this honestly
I think the recording gives it a certain vibe and edge it would not have IF was recorded all polished and perfect.
This is perfection as is to me!
Potato good for recording, camera and fuck toy. All is perfect and equal in the world when potato is used. Peace is fulling achieved zen in 🥔
Ahhh yes hard to beilieve there was a point in time where we didnt have 60000k definition and 350.6 dolby surround sound and recording equiptment that would make anybodys head explode and due to its sheer advancement in inducing a throbbing erection that would make any mans penis shoot off like a rocket into deep space
I'm pretty sure the recording is fine, the upload got fucked somehow though.
