Near the end he goes "Morbid traditions Archaic value systems Where violence justified Is just another pride One nation. Under. The. Gun" The most emotion I feel in any of their songs
I heard this back in highschool never gave it too much of a chance...but I just read the lyrics and I got chills....and i listen to a lot of death metal lol
A tragedy that the lyrics are still every bit as valid in 2019, and also a tragic that the band cut out the amazing riff at 2:13 from the official video and, it seems, the live version.
Times have changed the world is very interactive don't live in fear from the "unknown" like they did hundreds of yrs ago. Theres no real reason to have weapons unless you live out in the bush/outback. any full auto weapon was strictly designed to kill humans, limited recoil, silencers, armour piercing rounds etc are military features not for farming guns. its too late for the yanks now tho, to get weapons off the streets is an impossible task the and damage is already done. BEST SONG I LOVE IT
what isn't being stated is that the mere presence of the firearm increases aggression and owning and holding one increases the paranoia. I've seen some skeptics that don't live in the united states get outraged that the stujdies show they increased testosterone evels and try to equate that with increased aggression but it's important to note that the individuals who do this tend to live in countries like Israel or Denmark where there is a Gun culture as well as a Martial arts or other type of militrary disclipine as pretty much mandatory aspects. So in Israel everyone has to join the IDF or go to jail and their military training during part of the year makes them unlike america where gun safety type training is *suggested* but not *required* in The united states of america doesn't Really have as much of a gun culture as it likes to Haughtily pretend it does. Plus we' have a pretty massive obestiy problem compared to those countries and suffice it to say that there's a lot more cause to believe that for American men espeically those who aren't in tip top shape that not all bodies handle the hormone levels the same way so in America an increase of testosterone DOES translate into Increased Aggression where it may not in Denmark or other cultures with sufficient training. So bear in mind if anyone Turns their nose up offended at the suggestion that testosterone causes aggression that they likely don't live here or have the kind of backgrounds necessary to handle the increase without becoming more aggressive. theprogressivecynic.com/2013/12/30/how-guns-create-aggression-and-kill-people/
Guess we should just leave the gun ownership to police, military, and the government. Oh wait democide(death by government) is the biggest taker of human life in recent time. Think I'll keep my guns. Yes, even against tanks and air strikes.
Hey man, it took them a lot of time to come up with "Dude, what if like we like got rid of like all of the like guns, we'd all like be like happy man" while smoking pot in their garage. Expecting idiots who skipped on on education in order to pursue a short lived lower class lifestyle in music (no money in metal) to understand anything about history or even having basic reading ability is foolish.
@@MuDkipzCHancelLOr Gun control measures seem to have worked pretty well in other Western European countries. Given their history, you'd expect them to understand a thing or two about history, risk of totalitarianism, democide, ect. cbsnews1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/2016/02/03/7af71f32-9877-43e3-870d-3d7f557e0820/bbb4b6d9775e599e46ac4c0fc5834558/gun-death-rates-chart.jpg
This slaps even harder these days
Absolutely. Everything applies so much more to these days than even when I was in high school jamming this 12yrs ago.
Truly
man this song aged like fine wine, only becoming more relevant by the day.
this song aged so well
There music has aged soooo well
Near the end he goes
"Morbid traditions
Archaic value systems
Where violence justified
Is just another pride
One nation. Under. The. Gun"
The most emotion I feel in any of their songs
First heard this on a victory records sampler....thank god for samplers.
deathmonger420 same. i wasnt ready. must've been close to 15 years ago
Yes!
First heard this on the Ozzfest 2004 summer sampler
I heard this back in highschool never gave it too much of a chance...but I just read the lyrics and I got chills....and i listen to a lot of death metal lol
lyrics as dark and relevant as ever.
A tragedy that the lyrics are still every bit as valid in 2019, and also a tragic that the band cut out the amazing riff at 2:13 from the official video and, it seems, the live version.
Even more tragic in 2020...
I think they left that riff out in the middle so the song would have more of punch towards the end it bothered me it wasn't in the video.
THX SO MUCH MAN i have looked everywhere for this song in HD :D
herd this on victory records sampler when i bought the atryu album awsome band
Classic
tomas fucking lindberg ladies and gentlemen!
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan hardy
@Brownsound279 agreed :)
was such a good band... they went to shit soo quick.... this was the best album they had.... :(
Have you listened to all their newer stuff? The only thing that changed was their recording quality.
@@thelastdragon3242 Nah, the self titled album is still ass.
I wouldn’t say they went to shit. But I agree with this being the best album.

paul tidwell its a shame that out of this song you pick out politics.
because the song isn't political
Nooo I mean after all I must be reaching inbetween the lines to make it something it isn't
you read politics, i hear an innovative playing style that started a genre. but to each his own.
I read lyrics.

@@MuDkipzCHancelLOr pretty sure darkest hour have been around since 95 and are still active. Id hardly call that short lived.
I was naive back in 04 when this dropped and completely agreed with all the ban guns nonsense. Good thing the lyrics can work the other way too.
It's no "Mark of the Judas"
Guns rocks, it gets the crime lower. And in case of the state goes crazy you can rise against it.(they've done it in my city in 1930)

+Enigmalake The song is very good. About the Wikipedia, i can say that this historical fact happend because it was here in my homeland...
