start/end ive listened to some napoleon and man, after a few listens u know their songs by heart, but with Counterparts, they surprise me even after hundreds of listens :) they rock, hard
TheBradReaper I saw them back in 2013 on the in hearts wake tour I was only familiar with prophets at the time cause I didn’t follow them after that album but yeah seeing them live made me realise how talented they really are
For the past 13 years I've had a favorite band, who I won't name, but very similar to Counterparts. Today I found this album, and half way through this album, Counterparts has now taken the place of my favorite band. Never in my 33 years of life has 1 single band resonated with me so much. I don't know how they've have been under my radar for all this time, but I'm just grateful they no longer are
Corey Bg Again, in what realm has an album ever garnered the disrespect to be regarded as a CD. While an important epoch in the timeline of music mediums, I've never heard someone use it as a synonym for the work of art itself. Likewise, casette, 8 track, minidisc, vinyl, or digital are formats, and do not take the place of a noun representing a specific release by an artist, whereas Album, LP, or Record do function in that respect.
I thought you were one of those guys that thought either vinyl or digital were superior to other formats, didn't realize the actual wording offended you.
I can't even put into words how much I love Counterparts. They are such an amazing, and incredibly unique band. Their lyrics transpire into something so unbelievably real when I listen to it. It feels so real when I listen to them. Being able to relate and interpret to a lot of the music these guys make is something I feel so humbled by. Just by being able to listen to them and knowing that there's other people who feel the same way. I FUCKING LOVE YOU GUYS. MORE THAN WORDS CAN DESCRIBE
counterparts is amazing and i have to say that I really love their stuff they feel exactly how I feel about many different things in life and it makes me feel ok because I know i'm not the only one. They really helped me many times in my life when I was super down. I could just sing their songs super loud and scream them and i felt so much better :D I love them. this song is especially good. SUCH A GOOD SONG!
A guitarist buddy of mine told me to search these guys. He said after the intro that it got pretty heavy, and I know that he likes some powerviolence/grindcore. I am kinda disappointed though... I see the appeal, but they aren't doing anything for me. Hardcore to me is Black Flag or fucking Spazz, but whatever, this is okay to chill to I guess.
+lolttyl143 Agreed completely. This is one of the many modern-day "melodic hardcore" bands that is essentially a more commercial version of stuff that came before it, like Shai Hulud for example. I've found that people who are into this band tend to be far more interested in pop-punk than, say, Black Flag or Minor Threat.
+aarongtr180 I'm into all of it. I don't know if I would say this is commercial... melodic hardcore isn't nearly as big as pop punk or post-hardcore. You'd probably never hear it on the radio either.
talent isnt real, its all feel and skill. talent implies none of this can be learned. talent is a made up term by people who dont understand the amount of sheer hard effort and dedication someone has to a craft. fuck talent.
Been following these guys since the beginning and after all the great stuff they have put out they outdid themselves with this cd. Make sure to get the physical copy guys. This album is album of the year.
Take comfort in the cadence of the bond we share A visionary born and raised to see with an unbiased sense of sight We pause just for a second to properly embrace the radiance We are the anointed dipped in filth Taught to cower in fear of being identified But tragedy will find us I'm held captive by my spoiled soul I won't allow it to affect my stride The procession will proceed as we're gifted with our own idea of peace So find yourself in me I promise I will keep you as we harvest the passion that remains Make my skin your sanctuary I make a pact with the earth to draw life from the living Make my skin your sanctuary Leap to the beat of my blood So place your hand in mine, drag your feet across the tops of trees Breathe easy knowing that the branches will support you And the weight of your complication In the midst of the ruin that surrounds us We communicate but only in tongues Our lips will welcome the caress of the crucifixion And we stain the wood with defeat I am not a mortal, I am a metaphor for moving forward
If they had more singing like, It Prevails, they'd be my favorite band. Just 4 or 5 lines of singing would take this from amazing to... idk? super amazing.
Nope!! I disapprove of this band. When I saw their add they were amazing, I went to itunes and listen to more... All of their songs have a similar beat to it. They need to change that.
Death Monochisu They are a wonderful band. Maybe don't just listen for sound on bands and go more in depth. Like lyrics. This band lyrically has so much potential. This album has a similar sound in each song. But they still change it up. Like Still born and Choke sound very different. Then you have Resonate and Thread that sound a bit alike. Either way this band is amazing. If you compare this album to Prophets or TCWCU? So different. Just putting my opinion.
Best band in hardcore right now.
Jason LovesPWD Capsize, Worthwhile, Napoleon
start/end ive listened to some napoleon and man, after a few listens u know their songs by heart, but with Counterparts, they surprise me even after hundreds of listens :) they rock, hard
Best band in *melodic hardcore
Maybe in melodic hardcore. Converge will pretty much always be the kings.
Looks like the album just leaked. Will give it a whirl and then purchase it!
Still such an underrated band. Saw them twice when they toured Australia and holy fuck, two of the best shows i've been too.
TheBradReaper I'm clutching that they'll return at the end of this year/early next. They're too good live and recorded...
TheBradReaper A lot of people would actually argue otherwise. They're definitely overrated, although I like what I'm hearing from this album so far.
Lisa d Lmao you're actually wrong, nice try though.
Lisa d Why is it so important to you to correct someone's grammar?

The Amity Affliction?
Misery signals
ik this is an old comment but im really curious as to what the name of the favourite band was?
Glassjaw. At least that's what happened to me when I heard Counterparts.
I’ve only just discovered these. Been listening to Eulogy constantly for last couple of weeks. Huge back catalogue to keep me busy. Awesome track.
Can you stop making me cry Counterparts? God damn it, 4 cd's in a row.
Rui Carneiro CDs?? cds.... Trying to figure out what environment you grew up in that hangs onto compact disc culture.
***** what? Not everyone here is 12 and doesn't understand the importance of cds.

Give it a rest, Stu. You're going to throw a rod if you keep it up
Best song on the album no questions asked
Agreed mate! No doubt about it!!
It's an underrated song by them!
for sure
Solace?
for me, It’s either Drown, Resonate, or Collapse.
1:17 straight up goosebumps 😍😍

Fell in love with this band in 2011. Still love every album to this day but when I think of counterparts this album always comes to mind.
holy shit how am i just finding these guys now?? this is maybe the best band i've EVER HEARD
the way the song starts is such a masterpiece. fav song of all time
I think this song is my favorite from this album. 2:20 I've never gotten goosebumps from an instrumental like this before.
I discovered this band almost at the same time I discovered Worthwhile, They are my favorite melodic hardcore bands now
Both so good! Heart in Hand were really good too if you have never heard them. I love this style of music!
Amazing song, I can't wait for the next album!!
Dante Morales the album after twfu?
Welcome to YNYA
Two albums later they still only release bangers
counterparts is amazing and i have to say that I really love their stuff they feel exactly how I feel about many different things in life and it makes me feel ok because I know i'm not the only one. They really helped me many times in my life when I was super down. I could just sing their songs super loud and scream them and i felt so much better :D I love them. this song is especially good. SUCH A GOOD SONG!
I am not a mortal
I am a metaphor for moving forward
That lead outtro gets me every time.
Shit slaps bro
that ending groove on the bell is sex
Goosebumps all over
i've got the Tragedy Will Find Us album 2015!!
YEAY!!! good sounds!!!
I can't believe it's been 8 YEARS! And I finished highschool 12 YEARS ago! Time flies folks

Jordan Butler lol i keep seeing your profile pic poping up on all of these good music videos :)

The new addiction for the coming weeks
Greatest Song on planet earth
LEAP TO THE BEAT OF MY BLOOD
Fuck meeeeeeeeeee
what a song...
Counterparts
YAAASSS
steps far a front the rest. godspeed

One of their best songs of all
time
😊
It's all about the minor 9/s
Steven Andrikopoulos hahahahahah
1:17 open up this pit (in my heart)
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate the level of talent it took to drum that outtro
talent isnt real, its all feel and skill. talent implies none of this can be learned. talent is a made up term by people who dont understand the amount of sheer hard effort and dedication someone has to a craft. fuck talent.
One of the most consistent bands I've ever heard. Congrats Counterparts, you've done it again
Alright, I'm out. Can't handle this awesomeness. HELL/HOME got me so hard, but I'm feeling this will fucking kill me. Thanks Counterparts ♥
The rhythm change in 1:48 always get me
The way he says "and the weight of your complication" is somehow so emotional even though, he's just speaking it.
This is my favourite of their's. I love the positive sound of the guitars
Another great song of the best band in the world!
Keep up the good work guys!
Can't wait for the new album.
The best from the best
my fav on this album,
gonna buy the cd soon!
Been following these guys since the beginning and after all the great stuff they have put out they outdid themselves with this cd. Make sure to get the physical copy guys. This album is album of the year.
It is amazing, but it has a pretty damn good competitor. August Burns Red's "Found in Faraway Places" is probably my favorite album this year so far.
I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover this band. I'm truly grateful for this amazing music
Same here ✌🏻
This whole album is iconic to me. It’s a masterpiece
So melodic and pretty... Such a beautiful song.
The guitar between like 1:20 and 2:00 is amazing
Jesse final masterpiece
Take comfort in the cadence of the bond we share
A visionary born and raised to see with an unbiased sense of sight
We pause just for a second to properly embrace the radiance
We are the anointed dipped in filth
Taught to cower in fear of being identified
But tragedy will find us
I'm held captive by my spoiled soul
I won't allow it to affect my stride
The procession will proceed as we're gifted with our own idea of peace
So find yourself in me
I promise I will keep you as we harvest the passion that remains
Make my skin your sanctuary
I make a pact with the earth to draw life from the living
Make my skin your sanctuary
Leap to the beat of my blood
So place your hand in mine, drag your feet across the tops of trees
Breathe easy knowing that the branches will support you
And the weight of your complication
In the midst of the ruin that surrounds us
We communicate but only in tongues
Our lips will welcome the caress of the crucifixion
And we stain the wood with defeat
I am not a mortal, I am a metaphor for moving forward
Counterparts releasing one of the best songs of all time only to never play it live
That ending could not be described by any lyrics...
Nick Nick#14 🌎
LEAP.TO.THE.BEAT.OF.MY.BLOOD
Happy earth day Cp: "I make a pact with the earth to draw life from the living."
You can here the sorrow in his voice
at 1:17 gets me every time. Love these guys
Still one of my favorite albums from them. Saw them open for ETID with it and instantly made my way to the merch table to grab the album.
Fav counterparts track ever.
This is the best song I ever fucking heard.
Counterparts and Real Friends. I don't need anything else in life.
and a bit of sylar, then we're set! 👌🏼
Eric Simmons seeing them both tonight.
+Eric Simmons I would love to see a co-headlining tour with these two. So different yet so similar
+Alec Ramsey They toured together on the common vision tour actually!
Counterparts is one of the only bands from that scene that I don’t find awfully cringe worthy
counterparts never fails to dissapoint me. keep up the good work!
Bruh you do realize you just said counterparts always disappoints you?
ruby puente you meant "always" fail to disappoint right ? never failing to disappoint actually means disappointing you :D
ruby puente your comment made me laugh!
This is hilarious
i love the guitar from this song too awesome
I'm in love with this band. They can do no wrong. Amazing!
"So find yourself in me, i promise i will keep you as we harvest the passion that remains, make my skin your sanctuary"
"make my skin your sanctuary" right in the feels. so happy when I bought the vinyl, will always love these guys! =) TWFU
Without a doubt one of their best songs to date.
this album is told everything about feelings. I'm so fucking stoked to listening counterparts.
ordered this album and Norma Jean's Polar Similar on vinyl, can't wait till they get here...
OH! HE SAID IT! HE SAID THE ALBUM TITLE! TRAGEDY WILL FIND US!
listening to counterparts is the closest I ever felt to home I guess
‘I make a pact with the earth, to draw life from the living’
Best song ever bravi
Are there any guitar tabs for this song?
Yooooooo 1:17 gets bumpin everyfuckingtime
i am a metaphor for moving forward!!!!!!111
thycreator3296 💯
This song is pure perfection, get chills everytime the fast part kicks in.
that ending groove gets me feeling some kind of way man
fuck's sake this is beautiful.
im here because of a best buy ad haha
If they had more singing like, It Prevails, they'd be my favorite band. Just 4 or 5 lines of singing would take this from amazing to... idk? super amazing.
Kimcil hardcore 1:17 gak kepikiran isok pindah rythm kyok ngene uajorr

Bruno Rodrigues Acho que não vai superar o TDBHAH não mano...
So ... Melodic Metalcore?
Nope!! I disapprove of this band. When I saw their add they were amazing, I went to itunes and listen to more... All of their songs have a similar beat to it. They need to change that.
