Tougher than Nails is completely midi minus the vocals of course. Considering it’s all midi it’s surprising how it could possibly be off time and out of sync
I've seen midi tracks get out of sync, but that's pretty easy to fix. It usually happens as a result of copying and pasting sections with either too much or not enough of the sequence selected - creating an unintentional polymeter because the measure is either cut off or extended with an extra beat or so of silence.
@@DumbVidsIMadeForAlexthat's what I was thinking. As soon as you play the song/sequence/pattern, shit like that sticks out like a sore thumb. Unless you're not listening to the final product. But honestly, why would you put out a song you haven't listened to? This whole album is a fucking anomaly and I don't understand anything about it.
The dude behind Tougher than Nails posted his album on the death metal-sharing group I am a part of. The admin, being the usual hero that he is, deleted the post.
I’ll give them their props for going for it, putting it all together, and releasing it on vinyl. So kudos to them for that. Also - That Shaggs album is awesome + way ahead of its time. If Sonic Youth had released it then the media would be spunking all over it calling it a “bold experimental masterpiece”...
Shaggs is definitely something interesting for music as a whole. Sonic Youth and Frank Zappa found interest with it in a way to inspire their Wild experimental music.
As you said, SFU's *instrumentals* are fine, it's just so extremely disappointing how Chris seems to have completely forgotten how to do death metal, after he laid the foundations for how it's done. It's not just that it sounds bad, which it does, it's the disappointment that comes along with how good he used to be.
I consider myself to be very knowledgeable about the history of death metal and extreme music in general. I’ve listened to a lot of underground demos and long forgotten banda (thanks Ken’s DM Crypt) There is so little information about this “band” and it’s infamy. They really scrubbed a lot of their work from the internet. The only video of the album I could find has comments locked. I need more information about this band, the songs and lyrics, the recording. Is this all a huge troll? Or was this a serious attempt at releasing thoughtful music into the world? A true mystery of extreme music whos story needs to be delved deeper into. Thank you for shedding light on this incredible piece of atrocious sonic torment!
@@mjstories7181 lol, but fr the guy had a Facebook page as of the last time I checked a few months ago. He was a real guy, very odd, zero self-awareness.
Have you ever checked Agoraphobic Nosebleed? A mini cd with 99 tracks in 28 minues, I think, but the fun part is seeing the tracks number skipping as it goes... it's an experience you should live
You mean Mortification has 2 amazing albums, most of their stuff is almost Six Feet Under level bad. I like the early stuff but apart from that they are one of the worst DM bands I have heard.
I absolutely love the album and freely admit that it is bad, but the fact it's so bad combined with the fact that they were forced to make the music brings it around full-circle and makes it a truly enjoyable listen, and the lyrics are so earnest and unsophisticated it's endearing. 10/10 album
So, I looked this dude up on the Metal Archives. Turns out, he has had a few projects, one of them entitled "Devastation Inc." (so badass) Anyways, if you look up Devastation Inc's only full-length "Withdrawn into the Abyss Within" you'll get an absolutely bonkers, public access tv style music video that's quite a treat to watch. The music is about on par with Arise Warrior. Enjoy!
Same here, I looked him up and found his Twitter. It's mostly just him selling his shit paintings and music, political rants, or recommending other Christian death or black metal bands on bandcamp. Now and then I see something about a cyberfrog 🤷♂️ whatever that's about. Interesting chap.
@@DaisyTheSadboi I don't really know how selling NFTs works, but the ones he has up look like they were drawn by ChrisChan and are priced in the millions lol, this dude is a psycho
I had to hear it, and oh my lord, I've never heard anything like it. I had no idea what the hell was going on and those distortion...drops? Whatever, was killing my ears. I've listen to some bad stuff, but this...this was...crazy. Sounded like an 8 bit midi file that was programmed by a beginner that was recorded through a single blown speaker while it was falling down the stairs. With that being said, I did have glimpses of what it's "supposed" to or "should have" sounded like if it was played by a band with talent. It would be interesting to hear someone cover one of the songs and try to make it sound listenable. Just curious to see if it would actually sound half decent, or still sound like...whatever the hell that is. I've heard of The Shaggs and their story, so I thought it was funny you brought them up. I think Tougher Than Nails is worse.
Morbid curiosity got the better of me, checked it out before you did your little reaction bit and yes, can confirm that this album made me burst out laughing.
There was this other Technical Metal band with some sort of deer skull on their album cover that sounds just as bad as Tougher Than Nails. I heard it once on YT last year and now I can't find the video or remember the name. It was one of those "so bad you have to hear it" situations too.
Not a deer skull, but your desc vaguely reminds me of behold the arctopus, reeeeaaaally bad, random notes tech metal. You know anything else about the obe you meant?
@@eenpersoon2881 No, that is not it, but I eventually found it with my watch history from just over a year ago. The album is Resting in Beartooth by Red Burns North. It's really bad, over-processed djent. Or just your average djent.
@@eenpersoon2881 Completely different things, though. Can't say I'm a fan myself, but Behold... are ridiculously competent musicians that could do something more conventional in their sleep if they wanted to. Tougher Than Nails, on the other hand, are just bad at what they're actually trying to do.
Tougher than nails is one of those things I ran across and just laughed about for hours after hear it.. i listen to goregrind and noisegrind regularly, so the fact this made me bust out laughing says something.
Every once in a while, I come across an actual Six Feet Under fan. Clearly someone is buying their music and/or merch. There’s no other explanation for their continued high profile record deals. It’s mind boggling.
I collect CDs and cassettes and sometimes I add one to my collection if it is so absurdly bad (eg Cacator - Exploding Poo) so this band’s albums is now in my CD wishlist on discogs
😂 brother I’m glad to have stumbled across your channel. This is hilarious hahahaha bro, I’ve got some shit you need to hear if you think this tougher than nails is funny. Looking forward to more uploads from ya. Cheers
i’ve been recommending this album to people as being totally fucking brutal and it gets funnier every single time. your reaction to the vocals is so on point 💀💀 it’s like a fucking dog trying so hard to reach the mailman
I checked it out in the description but the album was almost done? I don't remember checking out before lol. But now I think when I was a sleep I think i was listening to some goregrind and this shit was playing after it 😂
I have the Shaggs’ “Philosophy of the World” on my iPad and listen to them fairly regularly. Just imagine the drums, the guitar, and the vocals each being played at a different rhythm at the same time. I’d like to see any other band pull that off.
the combination of MS Paint album cover, Movie Maker production value, and Christian(?) lyrics(??) really makes this go all the way around to "so bad it's awesome" tbh, i would wear a t-shirt with that stupid shield logo on it for laughs
if you want some actually decent Christian extreme metal, check out Echoes from a Fallen World by Hard Look. it's a pretty fun deathcore album from last year.
Took a listen to the record for context and I feel like the biggest issue is the fidelity of the recording. The album is really clearly made from chopped up samples and I actually kinda like it conceptually. I just feel like this guy could come out with something legitimately great if he took this concept and improved the separation of the instruments.
I just listened to part of tougher than nails - the vocals sound like Cookie Monster with a throat infection, the synchronous tracks seem to be from unrelated “songs,” and the drums do indeed blowout into obnoxious fart noises 😂
I haven't listened but DM has so, so many bands that are nondescript, competent but bland. Being especially bad to the extent that you get noticed means you're doing something unique and interesting.
You know- apparently the guy in tougher than nails was in a band called devastation inc. and slither and flames, and now I’m kind of interested in seeing if like, it’s an actual lack of talent, or if it’s just kind of a troll or something lol
The thing about Six Feet Under is they have an insane bass player and drummer. And they still come up with horrible shit. What I really want to know is how did no one in the studio say, "this is fucking garbage"...even more so...how did anyone at the label be like yea this is releasable....
I had the same reaction with Scab Addict - Eye Popping Noisecore. But funny thing is, Scab addict is intenionally bullshitting. Tougher Than Nails was dead serious...
Hellhammer's 'Triumph of Death' is one of the most twisted songs I've heard; it isn't really a song but rather the sound effects of your descent into Hell.
8:00 and Frank Zappa loved it lol. but seriously, I love that their Grandmothers vision ultimately came true just not in the way that she thought it would. Ok after listening to their debut, yeah it sounds more like a noise project like Xper.xr instead of a death metal band lol.
SFU at least at the beginning, was definitely a band in the vein of Obituary. The ex-lead guitarist of Obituary, Alan West co-founded the band with Barnes. And ex-Death/ex-Massacre bassist Terry Butler was another founding member of the band, stuck around up until 2010 or so. He plays in Obituary now. I thought the vocals on the latest SFU album were just Barnes high as fuck trolling at first. Sadly, that is not the case. You'd think he'd put more effort into his vocals with Jack Owen now in the band. His vocals ruin the album. Hopefully the next one is better...it really can't get worse...can it?
It's strange how the first impressions from the name to the album cover suggest it's a Death 'n Roll album. In fact, I think this is the only DM album that would have actually been improved by being Death 'n Roll instead.
At some point on the album their is a song that emits pure meme gold (between the 22 to 29 minute mark) which involves the music not taking a shit long enough to devote a few seconds of isolated tom hat, It's hit three times before the music takes a shit once more. This is done Multiple times throughout the song as if it were a key feature... I wish I knew the song title but I don't feel like devoting that much energy to this terrible album. I'd rather pay a mime to kick me in the balls to the run time of this album than deal with that.
I checked it out and liked it to an extent. If they were a noise grind band that was experimenting with some death metal style riffing and stuff it would be pretty good, knowing that's almost certainly not what they're going for makes it bad.
Abrasive Fart is a great band name. Haunted actually slaps in my opinion. Lycanthropy is a bad ass song. Not sure if you’ve made a video on these guys, but curious how you feel about Sleep Token? I found these guys a few weeks back and really enjoyed their unique sound.
I found something questionably more humorous. First Born of the Dead - "Self Inflicted Cerebral Zombification" is like Tougher Than Nails but a tech death approach
Tougher Than Nails really gives me the confidence to keep making music. No matter how bad I feel, at least I'm not TTN. Thanks for sharing this gem with the world 👌
It feels like those "badass skeleton" memes I keep seeing, especially with the shield in the bottom left corner with "LGBT" written in rainbow letters.
So I am two minutes into this album and I cannot tell if they are being serious or not. Like you said, I cant tell if they are in on the joke or not lol.
Dude u should check out this one project I found called “Daeva Angra Mainyu” it is essentially the black metal equivalent to this. I promise you you will be dying within 15 seconds of listening to it I recommend the song “The Cold Cruel Mountains”
I read your comment and checked them out, I bursted out laughing within seconds. The vocals sound like King Diamond being squeezed into a meat grinder.
I wasn't keeping track of the time, but I think I made it 30 seconds into the first song before my ears started bleeding profusely. Like, wow, that is BAAAAAAAD!
Right when you said "Christian technical death metal" I got a horrible cramp in my leg and proceeded to fall out on my chair on to floor screaming in pain. I don't think that was a coincidence.
I listen to a few Christian bands and am religious (though not orthodoxy), the Christian doom metal scene is incredible plus there's some decent bands like Mortification and Vomitorial Corpulence out there.
i tried to listen and give them a real chance like every band and i just couldnt..but hey we need you to do a video on BEYOND CREATION. i think youll be very interested!
I'm not sure this is as 'bad' as you think it is. I have had a quick skip through it and, if intentional, it is just a 'metal' version of the glitch genre. I wouldn't be surprised if the glitched up guitar parts were sampled from something else. It's not my cup of tea, but the way it has been arranged with said glitches might actually be quite clever. I've worked in electronic music for years and there seems, on the surface, to have been some work that has gone into this. I may well be wrong though!
I get what youre saying as it could be a form of cybergrind but there's still the reviews ive read about the album they took down. it was intentionally offensive towards LGBT and was very pro christian in the same attitude of something like what the westboro baptist church preaches. Plus they're signed to a label that everything else is death metal. the vocals no matter what anyone says are incredibly off note . what youre saying about Tougher Than Nails in your comment is oddly similar to what Frank Zappa thought of positively when he found interest with The Shaggs. I know I stated numerous times this is "The Worst Death Metal Band" but its the kind of terrible thats fascinating.
@@wyattxhim I wouldn't say the lyrical content is what makes it bad IMHO. It's the music that's absolute garbage. Some of the best metal I've heard (and I know you can cosign me on this) have lyrical themes that could be considered sketchy.
Tougher Than Nails main issue it is the is the production values... if it wasn't distorted it would be more interesting not sure why they would go it sounding rough - but its on vinyl! thats tempting. Their 2nd album cover is great...
Call me crazy. but I can kind of see this stuff working if they just fixed a few things. The instruments sound like they were recorded at different times individually, almost like this band sampled a bunch of other death metal songs and pieced them together into an incoherent mess. But if you throw a monkey wrench into it and try to piece those parts together in a way that sounds cohesive and reel back on the clipping, (and a change in drums) you would get something like Industrial Death Metal. That and they gotta change up the vocals because god damn, they sound overblown.
that tougher than nails ep sounds like it was made in powertab or guitarpro, i'd accuse it of being lazier than the masterwork 'hellokittysuicideclub - ^_^'
"I've listened to noise albums that have more rhythm than the guitars being played on this album" has got to be one of the greatest roasts I've heard
I gave them a listen and they sound like a UA-cam Poop edit of a Death Metal song
yeah it sounds like a meme of what normies hear when they listen to death metal.
Totally.
I would love if one of my favorite UA-cam Poopers pooped a death metal song. Love UA-cam Poops.
I remember when we used the term "poop" as almost a badge of honor amongst the worst of the worst metal bands. We used to have small competitions about who could find the absolute worst of them and we would spends hours just dying of laughter making fun of them.
If you approach tougher than nails as death metal, you'll be real disappointed.
If you walk in expecting avant-garde noise, it's not the worst.
also u can just treat it as a cybergrind
Yep It very atonal which is common for Noise album.
noise, noisecore, grindnoise is WAY better than this.
Erm no,, if you approach it as avant-garde noise, you'll be disappointed as well.
@@eaglebauer944 "erm no"?

debatable
@@astoriasthebold5349 but they are one of the death metal bands of all time

My favourite part of the record was when the frontman said "it's nailin' time" and nailed all over the place... All tough, of course
You all know that the record label is owned by a Christian media group in Illinois, right?
Man, that album cover is serious "graphics design is my passion" energy.
If you're doing a promo then yes, even then I put more thought into alignment and symmetry. The logo isn't that bad though but it's too evil looking for a Christian metal band.
I love how the shield is too big for the cover, but instead of resizing it they just tilted it so that it fits
Sounds like AI generated death metal, which is fed by AI generated death metal.
Best
Unrelated but that cult of youth record is absolutely incredible
Tougher than Nails is completely midi minus the vocals of course. Considering it’s all midi it’s surprising how it could possibly be off time and out of sync
seriously it's actually industrial metal. at best.
I've seen midi tracks get out of sync, but that's pretty easy to fix. It usually happens as a result of copying and pasting sections with either too much or not enough of the sequence selected - creating an unintentional polymeter because the measure is either cut off or extended with an extra beat or so of silence.
@@noesunyoutuber7680it’s really hard to do that without realizing it though lol

This is done Multiple times throughout the song as if it were a key feature... I wish I knew the song title but I don't feel like devoting that much energy to this terrible album. I'd rather pay a mime to kick me in the balls to the run time of this album than deal with that.
6FUs latest album is actually good. It's groovy with unintentionally funny vocals. Dank as fuck.
I checked it out and liked it to an extent. If they were a noise grind band that was experimenting with some death metal style riffing and stuff it would be pretty good, knowing that's almost certainly not what they're going for makes it bad.
Abrasive Fart is a great band name.
Haunted actually slaps in my opinion. Lycanthropy is a bad ass song.
Not sure if you’ve made a video on these guys, but curious how you feel about Sleep Token? I found these guys a few weeks back and really enjoyed their unique sound.
there's better band names out there.
@@bl00df4rt you seem biased judging by your username 🤣
I found something questionably more humorous. First Born of the Dead - "Self Inflicted Cerebral Zombification" is like Tougher Than Nails but a tech death approach
Tougher Than Nails really gives me the confidence to keep making music. No matter how bad I feel, at least I'm not TTN. Thanks for sharing this gem with the world 👌
This is the first time i hear death metal with everything done on guitar pro, only the vocals are real
Hahaha great video and that album cover for delusional blasphemies destroyed is the cringiest shit I’ve seen in a long time.
It feels like those "badass skeleton" memes I keep seeing, especially with the shield in the bottom left corner with "LGBT" written in rainbow letters.

@@pergproductions Wasn't expecting you to pop up here, but it's a welcome surprise. You make some good videos!
@@honeycomblord9384 I love those memes
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad. Bet I won't even -" (immediately busts out laughing at the opening drumwork)
SoulseekQT is always your best friend to find Delusional Blasphemies Destroyed
"everything, and I can't stress this enough, everything is off..." hahahaha this was great
Someone please upload the deleted/lost album somewhere, i like it
Someone actually did it! Np: Delusional Blasphemies Destroyed
I was actually wondering if you ever talked about these guys.
So I am two minutes into this album and I cannot tell if they are being serious or not. Like you said, I cant tell if they are in on the joke or not lol.
Dude u should check out this one project I found called “Daeva Angra Mainyu” it is essentially the black metal equivalent to this. I promise you you will be dying within 15 seconds of listening to it I recommend the song “The Cold Cruel Mountains”
I read your comment and checked them out, I bursted out laughing within seconds. The vocals sound like King Diamond being squeezed into a meat grinder.
Denial Fiend's 'Horror Holocaust' and Massacre's 'Promise' were my first thoughts
I have definitely checked out Tetragrammacide and Knelt Rote because of this channel; Cheers for that!!
the funny thing is i actually like the sound of tougher than nails but that is likely because i like all of the noise genres including gore noise
I wasn't keeping track of the time, but I think I made it 30 seconds into the first song before my ears started bleeding profusely. Like, wow, that is BAAAAAAAD!
Right when you said "Christian technical death metal" I got a horrible cramp in my leg and proceeded to fall out on my chair on to floor screaming in pain. I don't think that was a coincidence.

I listen to a few Christian bands and am religious (though not orthodoxy), the Christian doom metal scene is incredible plus there's some decent bands like Mortification and Vomitorial Corpulence out there.
Interestingly, a lot of the better extreme metal bands that have fallen into almost total obscurity are Christian bands. See Paeramecium for example.
@@Chicky_Lumps Paeramecium is killer. Great doom/death
Check out Extol and Living Sacrifice - Nonexistant also older band Crimson Thorn and prog power metal band Narnia
Their newer album is on UA-cam. Search their name and it's like the 10th one down.
Tougher Than Nails has the same problem many christian artists have, they care more about preaching than creating great art.
@Wyattxhim You should Review the band Velocious Onslaught!
The Shaggs is classified as Outsider Music AKA Music to the Key of Z( Daniel Johnston, Wesley Willis ,BJ Snowden or Tiny Tim )
Thanks, Wyatt, I'm in a chat with Necromantical Memes, and he's flipping shit right now.
Can confirm I’m still flipping my shit. That bass solo killed me multiple times
i tried to listen and give them a real chance like every band and i just couldnt..but hey we need you to do a video on BEYOND CREATION. i think youll be very interested!
thank you wyatt, tougher than nails and the shaggs are now the funniest things i've ever heard
Best review out there, I was laughing 5 seconds in. This is a comedy album for sure 🤘😂
Very intrigued thank you!
As an avid gorguts enjoyer, I can say I didn't think tough as nails was THAT bad.
I'm not sure this is as 'bad' as you think it is. I have had a quick skip through it and, if intentional, it is just a 'metal' version of the glitch genre. I wouldn't be surprised if the glitched up guitar parts were sampled from something else. It's not my cup of tea, but the way it has been arranged with said glitches might actually be quite clever. I've worked in electronic music for years and there seems, on the surface, to have been some work that has gone into this. I may well be wrong though!
I get what youre saying as it could be a form of cybergrind but there's still the reviews ive read about the album they took down. it was intentionally offensive towards LGBT and was very pro christian in the same attitude of something like what the westboro baptist church preaches. Plus they're signed to a label that everything else is death metal.
the vocals no matter what anyone says are incredibly off note .
what youre saying about Tougher Than Nails in your comment is oddly similar to what Frank Zappa thought of positively when he found interest with The Shaggs.
I know I stated numerous times this is "The Worst Death Metal Band" but its the kind of terrible thats fascinating.
@@wyattxhim I wouldn't say the lyrical content is what makes it bad IMHO. It's the music that's absolute garbage. Some of the best metal I've heard (and I know you can cosign me on this) have lyrical themes that could be considered sketchy.
Holy shit Wyatt’s wheeze can cure cancer 😂😂😂
Tougher Than Nails main issue it is the is the production values... if it wasn't distorted it would be more interesting not sure why they would go it sounding rough - but its on vinyl! thats tempting. Their 2nd album cover is great...
Call me crazy. but I can kind of see this stuff working if they just fixed a few things.
The instruments sound like they were recorded at different times individually, almost like this band sampled a bunch of other death metal songs and pieced them together into an incoherent mess. But if you throw a monkey wrench into it and try to piece those parts together in a way that sounds cohesive and reel back on the clipping, (and a change in drums) you would get something like Industrial Death Metal. That and they gotta change up the vocals because god damn, they sound overblown.
yall just aint ready for it jet!
The shaggs album is better than all the corporate slop played by commercial radio. Shaggs better then any top ten goyslop band
that tougher than nails ep sounds like it was made in powertab or guitarpro, i'd accuse it of being lazier than the masterwork 'hellokittysuicideclub - ^_^'
