28 and finally listening to this lol. I got out of deathcore right as the crewbanger album came out. I missed all of this but I made my way back and this album is beyond fire.
Lyrics: Oh! This is the sonnet of the wretched Can you hear their screams? Your prayers won't be heard They will rise When daylight dies they come and bring an abrupt end to your sinful life There's nothing you can do to stop them now, it's too late Just run and hide and hope they will never find you until it's over and they're gone You think this is hell? You don't know the half of it And this is just the beginning of the end for you There's nothing sacred here, everything you once loved has been defiled There's only pain and sorrow They bring the end And there's nothing that can save you from this cruel fate But it's your fault, it is you that brought them They felt the presence of your blackened heart And smelt the stench of your abject existence They've come to cleanse your soul of its affliction You can't repent because it's far too late Oh, just wait until they have you in their grasp Now you will feel what it's like to be in hell And your only company will be the horde This is now the end, your soul is cleansed, your mouth is stitched, your eyes are blind And your blackened heart ceases to beat anymore Now they have gone, disappeared without a trace This is the sonnet of the wretched Your soul is cleansed, your mouth is stitched, your eyes are blind This is the sonnet of the wretched Did you hear their screams? Your prayers were not heard They have cleansed all sin and evil Lay to rest
This intro was, and STILL is, LEGENDARY. I'm 33 now and still love this album. I personally really like their newer stuff too it's just as heavy as their original works. Just overall always been a great band, that has aged perfectly. This takes me back to HS. PSA: If you haven't talked to your best friend from that time period because you've both grown up and always have too much life shit going on to kick it anymore, hit him up and say what's up. We all got that one or 2 friends that although may not speak or see eachother as much, they will ALWAYS be your boy no matter WHAT or ANY amount of time that goes by. Reach out guys, you'll thank me later. 🤘
My band covered this song in a small bar venue recently in southeastern VA. I can say with no ego or doubt that it was the most intense pit/movement that venue has ever seen, a fight literally broke out 2 minutes in, resulting in multiple injuries. We were playing with a hardcore band and 3 pop punk bands,they told us they were mindblown. The last band didnt get to play, the Venue kicked everyone out after the fight and stopped doing shows. NO bullshit. I was fucked up, greatest time of my life.
This band really had their impact on my listen to genre development. I keep coming back for this particular song every now and then just to remind myself what brought me into the depths of death core, opening my eyes fir the third and last time. Same way I keep coming back for Slaves shall serve by Behemoth, which opened my eyes for death metal, the opening the second time, years before.. the same way The black goddess rises II by CoF set my path to this field of war against the silence, decades ago.. love it, forever will.. ❤️ Thanks
@Hi not going to lie he isn't wrong I picked up on screaming quite quickly, screaming is actually screaming/yelling it'd just a vocal technique I even went to a vocal coach because i thought i was doing it wrong and I thought I could tear my vocal chords but he was quite surprised with how I got it down on my own like I do with most instruments, but I agree for some it isn't as easy
I still think this is one of the best deathcore songs ever written. Desolation Of Eden is such a deathcore masterpiece. 👿👿 Still come back to this all these years later.
Alex's Stage presence is fucking amazing, this only emphasizes it haha! Finally saw them live during the Sick tour in Atlanta, nonetheless it was his birthday too. That show was fucking phenomenal. Just can't get enough of this badass intro either
Wish I could of got to see the OG Alex live but seeing Chelsea Grin live with Kyle Medina from Bodysnatcher was one of the most insane performances live Iv ever seen!
I used to think Alex's screams kind of sounded like when you're drinking something through a straw and you get to the bottom of your drink and it makes that slurping sound.
Oh This is the sonnet of the wretched Can you hear their screams? Your prayers won't be heard They will rise When daylight dies they come and bring an abrupt end to your sinful life There's nothing you can do to stop them now, it's too late Just run and hide and hope they will never find you until it's over and they're gone You think this is hell?

Chelsea Grin partly got so popular because they not only knew how to write heavy songs, they knew how to write catchy ones too because damn this is catchy😊
I hate it when people compare the new Chelsea Grin to their old stuff. I don't necessarily prefer their new album, but that's not their fault. They are going to sound how they want and just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others don't and that you have to be an asshole.
This is also one of the VERY FEW bands at the time that I would put up there right beside Mitch and SS. Such a tragedy. He was on his way to being, arguably, one of the greatest among the true pioneers of modern death metal. 🪦R.I.P Mitch Lucker... 🪦 Keep throwing it down.
I would disagree with RIGHT beside Mitch and Suicide Silence just because that was just... perfection. But then again, as Alex Koehler screamed, "Perfection is what each individual makes of it" Also, ever heard Thus Spoke Zarathustra? Their album Act Like You Don't Know is like a modern day The Cleansing. Now, I'm not saying it's anywhere close to how good The Cleansing is, but it's very similar in terms of production and vocals. Or, at least, the most similar we've got nowadays. Still pretty good, I would say.
I remember getting an Artery Records sampler at a hot topic when this first came out (ah the good ol days) and I had a buddy I regularly smoked weed with who ONLY listened to rap. Played this once and he started requesting I play it on the regular after that. Nuff said bout this masterpiece
I was in Highschool when this song came out and it still slaps. I miss this Chelsea Grin. I'm pushing 29 and I'm still blasting this daily
Same
Same bro 30 in February...
Same bro haha “it’s not a phase”
Same man.
Sucks to be yall! I'm still in my 20s. I'm 29 and 12 months to be exact
Proud to say I've reached the point in my life where I can stop trying to separate metal/non metal and just enjoy the music.
Awesome. More people need to do the same~
Hell yeah dude, same here! There's so much great music out there, it would be such a waste to not explore a little.
Because these songs are easy as hell to learn lol
same dude
yeah, they're shit just sounds difficult because of all the trem picking lol. That's how most metal is though tbh
30 years old and still coming back to this
it's just too good
dontre hill same 3 years later

28 and finally listening to this lol. I got out of deathcore right as the crewbanger album came out. I missed all of this but I made my way back and this album is beyond fire.
Im 18 still on this music.. i started listening on all my youth days
Lyrics:
Oh!
This is the sonnet of the wretched
Can you hear their screams?
Your prayers won't be heard
They will rise
When daylight dies they come and bring an abrupt end to your sinful life
There's nothing you can do to stop them now, it's too late
Just run and hide and hope they will never find you until it's over and they're gone
You think this is hell? You don't know the half of it
And this is just the beginning of the end for you
There's nothing sacred here, everything you once loved has been defiled
There's only pain and sorrow
They bring the end
And there's nothing that can save you from this cruel fate
But it's your fault, it is you that brought them
They felt the presence of your blackened heart
And smelt the stench of your abject existence
They've come to cleanse your soul of its affliction
You can't repent because it's far too late
Oh, just wait until they have you in their grasp
Now you will feel what it's like to be in hell
And your only company will be the horde
This is now the end, your soul is cleansed, your mouth is stitched, your eyes are blind
And your blackened heart ceases to beat anymore
Now they have gone, disappeared without a trace
This is the sonnet of the wretched
Your soul is cleansed, your mouth is stitched, your eyes are blind
This is the sonnet of the wretched
Did you hear their screams?
Your prayers were not heard
They have cleansed all sin and evil
Lay to rest
Thank you!
2022 and 3:03 is still the greatest breakdown ever. I will never not get the chills every time I hear it
its a face ripper
This song will slap until the sun burns out my friend.
What about calling in silence debatable for best breakdown lol
not even close

This intro was, and STILL is, LEGENDARY. I'm 33 now and still love this album. I personally really like their newer stuff too it's just as heavy as their original works. Just overall always been a great band, that has aged perfectly.

No, this is Patrick!
This is sempiternal

I fucking love you for this!
Came to this song for my teenage nostalgia. Thanks for the double hit of it 🤘🏻 ⭐️ 💗 🧽
This is exile.
THIS! IS! SPARTA!
Remember this live almost 10 years ago now and man I still feels like yesterday one of the best and nastiest shows I've ever been too 😤💪
Me too, low key looking for myself and bros in the audience while watching lol

I listen mostly for 1:23 i think it sounds awesome and there new album the screams and highs are awesome! Chelsea Grin is by far my most fav band!
A lot of people forget music is art, This is Art!! Chelsea Grin Rulezz

came to spokane 15 years ago the original crew and fucking killed it!!!
I need this Chelsea Grin in the present :/
Disaster DL yeah, not gonna happen
Dude this is crazy. If you think about it... Alex is 21 now minus the four years ago... 17. He was 17 in this music video.
Really? That's gnarly, didn't know he was so young
WAstateofmind I remember in an interview forever ago he said after he was done with high school he went straight on tour with the band
are you sure about that???
hes born 1991, he woulda been like 19
I'm pretty this was written when they were 17
Sad to say I missed this core scene cause I was 11 when this came out and still into All American Rejects
Poor baby 😳
What? Dude, you have a fucking beard. And you were 11 when this dropped. Way to make a dude feel old, cheers for that 🤣
Same bro, born in 00. It was all nu metal for me back in 2010, only shit I knew existed because of my dads old cds.
I appreciate the maturity you have brought into this conversation. It was well needed.
Hands down, one of my favorite songs to this day
the screams are inhumane
"without compassion for misery or suffering; cruel" ?
Fieldy Snutz
LoL That's how you get someone and put 'em straight xD
hello
Screams are actually really simple - simple screaming on your vocal chords.
@Hi not going to lie he isn't wrong I picked up on screaming quite quickly, screaming is actually screaming/yelling it'd just a vocal technique I even went to a vocal coach because i thought i was doing it wrong and I thought I could tear my vocal chords but he was quite surprised with how I got it down on my own like I do with most instruments, but I agree for some it isn't as easy
I was there when they filmed this. The Boardwalk in Orangvale, CA. One of the best live shows yet
I remember hearing this so long ago, and this came up on my iTunes and I just had to see the music video again... so much memories ❤️😔
I still think this is one of the best deathcore songs ever written. Desolation Of Eden is such a deathcore masterpiece. 👿👿 Still come back to this all these years later.
What’s your profile picture? I love bands with those kind of album covers
@@ashtonstaples2996 Cranial Contamination. Slamming Brutal Death Metal 🔨🤘🏻

I wish alex's highs could return to this...
Shit, I wish the band itself could return to this.
+Rusty Shackleford TBH
+Rusty Shackleford I can do his old highs easy and I don't have another band yet

Love these men.
One of my favorite metal bands of all time.
This and suicide silence
Wish I could of got to see the OG Alex live but seeing Chelsea Grin live with Kyle Medina from Bodysnatcher was one of the most insane performances live Iv ever seen!
Couple years ago when i was getting into deathcore i remember being genuinely addicted to this song and album. On fucking repeat
I miss 2010, I miss my younger myself. I miss all the good times. 2019 is boring.
try 2020!
@@kazmiksage6433nah, i don't think so. Just skip 2020 and probably 2021
One of the best songs to one of the best albums to one of the best heavy bands ever
True story
12 years later after watching this for the first time. Still my top three Chelsea Grin song.
One of the best deathcore bands next to Suicide Silence, Impending Doom, and Infant Annihilator 💯🎸🔥 2020 here 🎅🎄 Happy Holidays everyone
Es jodidamente PERFECTO!!!
1:27 My flailing arms made it into this video lmao. I remember this was such a brutal show at the Boardwalk Orangevale, CA
this has to be my favorite song they've made yet. :D
2019 and still listening
Just found this song in 2023 and fell in love even more with Chelsea Grin 🖤🖤
Lol, a new?
Welcome dude💀🤘
a sonnet is a 14 line poem... this is more than 14 lines

Probably 14 really long lines.
Damn got em there

never gets old!!! the beast shall live forever!!!
definitely ahead of their time
Literally base my high vocals off Alex love he’s highs miss him being in the band to
I just come here everyday
And i dont know why i do that
Коли я почула цю пісню, мені було 16. Зараз мені 27, все ще іноді слухаю цю групу та ностальгую
showed this song to my no-metalheads friends.. the big WTF on their face at 1:20 was priceless :D
I bet! Those gutturals are so disgusting!
Deathlygasmic Putridity in a good way?
Deathlygasmic Putridity yo mama disgusting
lol i dident know there was lyrics there for the longest time xD
FatChicken56 you should show them the squeal from disgrace from their self-titled ep
I used to think Alex's screams kind of sounded like when you're drinking something through a straw and you get to the bottom of your drink and it makes that slurping sound.
Sounds like beneath the sky. Simple and goes hard
Oh This is the sonnet of the wretched

Alex AK u sounded good
Alex AK you're pretty good
selina castillo thank you! :)
Kyle DuBois thanks dude!!
I was in middle school when this dropped. Such raw vocal delivery. I miss that old death core style before thy art is murder . Things changed after
Hell, Whitechapel started to change that. Not saying they weren't good, just saying.
Also, have you ever heard the Infinite Death EP?
Alex Kohler will go down in my books as one of the best hardcore vocalists of all time.
His lows are pretty average and his highs sound like he has a hole in his lung and is suffocating without air while screaming
Deathcore*
1:19 LOL love that
That intro guttural squeal/double bass blast/chuggy guitar intro gets me every time
This song is DOPE AS HELL!!
Que saudade dessa época
