Because, if you're like me, you had Kezia ruin your appreciation for music. Everything after that has been a mostly futile journey to find music as complex, emotional, fun and heavy.
Rody has become the punk version of Bruce Dickenson meets Geoff Tate.. and that’s fucking the best thing of all time. God damn, so much more control and emotion in his style now
Dude... How can you just go from All Hands (which absolutely blew me away, along with the rest of the first half) and then drop this fire on me right afterwards?! This is your finest record to date, no bullshit. If a prog album speaks this early to me, in time it'll only get better. I'm blown away
You listen to Protest songs twice for the first time: Once for the amazing musical arrangements, then again reading the lyrics, thats when it comes together. These guys are crazy talented.
Holy fuck. You boys outdid yourselves. This. slaps. so. goddamn. hard. You guys are one of the few bands that I listened to in my youth that didn't turn into a guilty pleasure. I let this shit sing from my radio with pride. Never change, boys.
Through The Years you guys have managed to continue to write such masterpieces. I appreciate you more than you will ever know. Please, God, come to Atlanta. Bloody hell
I know it’s an invitation for a future visit, but they’ve been. That’s where I discovered them back in 2006. They opened for Trivium in Heaven of the old Masquerade. They were better than Trivium.
I will never, ever get over the kick-in at 4:18. Following right on the heels of all that tragedy and suffering is just pure anger, malice, and spite. The whole mood gets uprooted from the horror being suffered, to the horror being inflicted. The chord change, those long backing guitar strums almost totally overpowering the melody, almost overpowering the vocals, and it's all just so OMINOUS. I still like Little Snakes more but musically this is by far the best work off this album and probably my favourite track of yours to date. Was an absolute joy seeing it live this month.
Love how they never forgot that D-beats vibe based songs since Kezia. Anyone noticed that? An like how they disattach themselves in guitar acrobatic riffs to a more cohesive melodic riffage. I'm a bit high.
The verse of "and all we needed was a reason, and you gave us one, you gave us one" I think adding "you gave us WAR" instead of "one" would be perfect too
This album somehow makes everything they have done so far seem like a pony show... that’s pretty damn hard for a band to do this far into their career. Every song is a banger, and thought provoking. Keep it up dudes.. you are in your prime!
It’s so freaking gooooood!!!!!! Aaaaahhh! Can’t wait to get my preorder vinyl!!! Love you guys so much. Literally my favorite band since I was 8 and glad y’all are still going strong.
8?! Sounds exaggerated but if it is true you must have had seriously developed music taste at 8 years old lol. PTH wasn't even a band yet when I was 8 lol, I don't think I was even into this type of music yet.
Sean H yeah man! my brother got me into fortress around 2008 (he’s older than me). It actually scared me at first (the line “monsters in her bed turned her to bloodmeat”) but I’ve been listening since then, and after getting over the monster fear and learning about the themes and complexities of the instruments, I couldn’t put them down. Even when Arif left I couldn’t quit them. I’m 20 now and they’ve ostensibly have shaped my music taste.
@@nathanielrambo3447 that's awesome, it just seemed odd( not impossible) that an 8 yr old would be into that type of music. I figured there must have been some kind of family influence behind it, but that's great to hear you got into such a amazing band. As with most hardcore, metal, and other genres, people who don't like it or haven't given it a chance just hear the screaming and just instantly are turned off by it and don't listen more than a few seconds. Most of the best songs and albums I've grown to love, I have had to listen to more than once, I'm pretty unsure about it at first, listen to it more, it starts growing on me, and then I end up with it on repeat for weeks. Anyways, I'm getting sidetracked lol, PTH is a hell of a band and they continue to kick ass. If you haven't heard of Poison The Well before I suggest checking them out. They are my favorite band of all time, haven't made a new album in quite some time but they just started playing shows again. I grew up loving them and their sound changed somewhat over the years and they lost some members but it's just a band that's full of so much energy and pure adrenaline, if you ever watch one of their live shows, the people go absolutely bat shit when they get to the drops and breakdowns. They were somewhat of pioneers for the hardcore and metal genres, if you already know of them, great, but if not you have got to experience the older stuff, the way they have these chugging sections is just incredible. Alright...I'm still rambling lol, later
i remember the turn soonest to the sea teaser they released forever ago when it came out with just the catchy parts on mtv or fuse. i hated it...... As a fan of death metal it wasn't in to it until i listened to the whole album all those years ago that i fell in love with the style and grove of this band and ever since then I've loved everything Protest the Hero do. keep it going guys
This feels like the "adult" pth. Idk what it is. It feels like pth... But matured. Again, I can't describe it. I wasmt sure about volition but it ended up being my favorite album ever. I hooe that happens here. Idk. I like it, it just feels like pth made for radio.
The way I described the album to my GF (who don't listen to this type of music at all) was that Palimpsest is less of what I want but more of what I need. I love songs about Irish Mythology and abstract concepts like Pacific Myth but sometimes you really need some catchy songs about real life.
0:33 has Rody listened to Eminem lately? I never heard any singing this fast! I love it! I am curious if anyone dares to do a voice cover of this song!
It's about the beginning of the military industrial complex, fueled by FDRs "Fireside" chats. A "Palimpsest" is a manuscript page that has been taken out of the original context and reused (either erased and rewritten or just written over). Each song is a piece of history that has been distorted due to winners writing the history books. The Genius pages for the lyrics of each song have links to the Wikipedia pages for each event.
@@shanemackay493 Great, that makes perfect sense! I'm on the other side of the pond, so sometimes these nuances are missed. Thanks for the heads up on The Genius Pages and taking the time to write, much appreciated fella. Have a great weekend.
Another banger. I'm so pumped for this album. Literally my schedule Friday is to make sweet love to this album all day lol. Quick question: Are we gonna be getting some screams on any of these songs?

@Deaddog67 Not sure how it's whiney to sing about things you care about in both history and in the present. Like what's whiney about speaking out against genocide?
@Deaddog67 fair, but even as an American, it doesn't seem anti-American. It just feels like it's addressing the uglier parts of America's past and present.
Okay, so I've definitely been listening to this track too much, but there's an error in the lyrics; at the bridge it says that the second repetition is also ten years in a body bag waiting in the wings, but it's still the ten years of a white flag bit :p
PTH does this A LOT. Words are... not in any important order. Fortress removes entire sentences from their official lyrics, while Pacific Myth has a lot of odd repetitions. As lyrically gifted Protest is, they don't care about the words fitting as much as they do about the sound and feel. Makes singing along a little weird.
I love these new tracks, and this album is going to be sick, but I can't help but feel that they will never top "bloodmeat". God I love that song, every second of it, from the intro with the machine gun drum roll, to the softer parts about ghengis Khan, to the high and low screams. It's their masterpiece in my eyes, and as much as I love all their other songs and albums, I still can't find anything that beats it. So happy to finally be hearing all of this new album tho! The wait has paid off!
Absolutely love the composition, performances, and energy on this entire album. Really not crazy about the mastering/production unfortunately, but still a solid record. 🔥
I think the production sounds pretty good to my ears. Definitely better than pacific myth. Volition was pretty good. The vocals were too low on scurrilous. Fortress was perfection
@@corey-m6y I actually like the mix here better than Fortress, sometimes the guitars in Fortress sound a bit understated. Here, they sound nice and full.
Put your faith in God but keep your powder dry. Holy fucking shit this album could enter entirely in the "Refranario Español" even translated and have more meaning than 90% of it....
He can't keep doing the same things over and over again. Literally he can't Rody had to retrain his voice lmao, also this album has solid vocals and quite a bit of screams/growls that I missed from the first couple of albums they released
I was already generally disappointed with the uncharismatic, shouty vocals on this album, but this one is a new low. The fast shouting parts are absolutely unlistenable, he sounds like a toddler that doesn't know how to properly articulate words. First song that I actively skip in a PTH album ever.
@Deaddog67 Exactly my point, why pushing so hard if you know you cannot pull it off like you used to? And that's generally my feeling towards the vocals on this album. He used to be more smart and witty in his delivery. This album has very few spots of that dynamic, vocally, the rest feels like he's constantly out of breath. I'm not sure what are you referring to with Scurrilous, but I invite you to listen back to Dunsel and Tongue-Splitter which had some staccato-screams, and notice how the delivery is just overall better sounding than this one. How can this be the best track if the first half it's filled with awkward screams, I'm not sure. I think Soliloquy or Gardenias do a better job at displaying his abilities as a singer.
@@TemporalShrew I've nothing against this kind of vocal style in punk and in general, really. I just think Rody's performance on this one is poorly executed and really awkward to listen to. As simple as that.

all of their albums are good! My favorites are Pacific myth and foretress
You listen to Protest songs twice for the first time: Once for the amazing musical arrangements, then again reading the lyrics, thats when it comes together. These guys are crazy talented.
Damn and i thought From the Sky would be the best off the album theyd release early, boy theres not one bad song on this album.
Well said... Ironic that in USA we are currently living, "In the court of the crimson king"
Dude, I had it pegged for the outro ballad, and my fav track of the album.
Fuck was I wrong!
2 b sides are some of the best too
Damn Rody SPITTIN on this song
Holy fuck. You boys outdid yourselves. This. slaps. so. goddamn. hard.
You guys are one of the few bands that I listened to in my youth that didn't turn into a guilty pleasure. I let this shit sing from my radio with pride. Never change, boys.
I felt this comment so hard. I can't drive yet but when I do I am letting their music ring anywhere I go with pride.
They're the only progressive band I enjoy jamming to... And really it's just this album. This is the peak of greatness here.
I thought VOlition would be hard to beat but this does. Incerdible album!! Love every song
This is great but I still Volition is their best work, and one of the best albums of all time

From 3:20 to the end is just amazing.
So damn good!!

You won't miss the water 'til the well runs dry
Can't appreciate the taste with a bountiful supply
Don't know what it's like to live until you barely survive
I don't know what it's like to feel alive
And if you're dumb enough to witness this insipid, wasteful christening
You're dumb enough to listen when they say the water's glistening
And as you scrape the bottom of this desiccated hole
You're told the water's rising and the well's completely full
But it's not without its comforts, like an aching in your side
If you can tolerate the thirst, the thirst eventually subsides
Overextended, under-prepared
(It's almost over)
What was the time that death was declared?
(It can't get worse)
And every day now, it's getting worse
(This is full disclosure)
Year after year, verse after verse
Overextended and under the gun
Under the gun
Put your faith in god, but keep your powder dry
'Cause god sends nuts to those that have no teeth
Love the son, spoil the rod, make sure it's satisfied
Cut the ground from underneath your feet
Because we're mired in the depths of this
What we're told is a chrysalis
We're eager for the blissful kiss of death
Because the fireside chats are comforting
While the population's wondering
If suffering's not the only option left
If suffering's not the only option left
Overextended, underprepared
(It's almost over)
What was the time that death was declared?
(It can't get worse)
And every day now, it's getting worse
(This is full disclosure)
Year after year, verse after verse
Overextended and under the gun
And when they came for the crib
They came for the table and the drapes on the walls
They came for the clothes on the backs of my kids
My god, they came for it all
Ten years of a white flag, waving in the wind
Ghost town, ghost country
No sign of the sleeping
And all we needed was a reason
Ten years of a white flag, waving in the wind
Ghost town, ghost country
No sign of the sleeping
And all we needed was a reason
Ten years of a white flag, waving in the wind
Ghost town, ghost country
No sign of the sleeping

As lyrically gifted Protest is, they don't care about the words fitting as much as they do about the sound and feel. Makes singing along a little weird.
@@hyronvalkinson1749 Oh yeah, I know. It wasn't meant as any sort of criticism, more of a 'I noticed this and if you want to fix it this is it' xD
Not available in the UK? Thank you VPN. 😁
Is it just UA-cam or is the mix well off. Most of it sounds well muddy.
Edit: it's UA-cam. I downloaded it Spotify and its a night and day difference.
Palimpsest
I might get roasted but those guys are f*cking better than so called Periphery
I love these new tracks, and this album is going to be sick, but I can't help but feel that they will never top "bloodmeat". God I love that song, every second of it, from the intro with the machine gun drum roll, to the softer parts about ghengis Khan, to the high and low screams. It's their masterpiece in my eyes, and as much as I love all their other songs and albums, I still can't find anything that beats it. So happy to finally be hearing all of this new album tho! The wait has paid off!
Absolutely love the composition, performances, and energy on this entire album. Really not crazy about the mastering/production unfortunately, but still a solid record. 🔥
I think the production sounds pretty good to my ears. Definitely better than pacific myth. Volition was pretty good. The vocals were too low on scurrilous. Fortress was perfection
@@corey-m6y I actually like the mix here better than Fortress, sometimes the guitars in Fortress sound a bit understated. Here, they sound nice and full.
Spotify always, UA-cam sounds bad sometimes
I'm hearing alot of Chuna Fish!
i like the old style of singing but this is good
Well he had to get surgery on his throat and I guess we are lucky he is still singing in general
Put your faith in God but keep your powder dry.
Holy fucking shit this album could enter entirely in the "Refranario Español" even translated and have more meaning than 90% of it....
He was one of my favourite singer... I'm kreally deveived of how much he ruins the new songs...
I don't know what you're saying but it's wrong. Listen again.
He can't keep doing the same things over and over again. Literally he can't Rody had to retrain his voice lmao, also this album has solid vocals and quite a bit of screams/growls that I missed from the first couple of albums they released
Do you have earcancer? Because Rody got better as he got older, I’d say he’s in his best vocal ability at the moment
I was already generally disappointed with the uncharismatic, shouty vocals on this album, but this one is a new low. The fast shouting parts are absolutely unlistenable, he sounds like a toddler that doesn't know how to properly articulate words. First song that I actively skip in a PTH album ever.
What are you even on about? Do you think punk vocalists sound like toddlers, too?
@Deaddog67 Exactly my point, why pushing so hard if you know you cannot pull it off like you used to? And that's generally my feeling towards the vocals on this album. He used to be more smart and witty in his delivery. This album has very few spots of that dynamic, vocally, the rest feels like he's constantly out of breath. I'm not sure what are you referring to with Scurrilous, but I invite you to listen back to Dunsel and Tongue-Splitter which had some staccato-screams, and notice how the delivery is just overall better sounding than this one. How can this be the best track if the first half it's filled with awkward screams, I'm not sure. I think Soliloquy or Gardenias do a better job at displaying his abilities as a singer.
@@TemporalShrew I've nothing against this kind of vocal style in punk and in general, really. I just think Rody's performance on this one is poorly executed and really awkward to listen to. As simple as that.
Fuck off
Their least technical album so far. Horrible vocals. Rody's throat is shot to pieces.
Your ego is shot to pieces
