All hail the almighty Norma Jean.
One of the VERY RARE vocalists who can jam the songs on an instrument/can write with the band. Props
You's be surprised to find out lots of vocalists can jam with their bands. To name just three of the top of my head I would say Josh Scogin (OG vocalist of Norma Jean, The Chariot, '68). Spencer Chamberlin (Underoath) wrote the intro riff to In Regards to Myself and more, and Anthony Green (Circa Survive and The Sound of Animals Fighting) is a solid guitar player/writer. Now I will say a lot of vocalist start out knowing very little about playing a guitar or other instruments but by traveling across the country they tend to learn how to play it.
Really not so rare lol A lot of vocalists play instruments and write songs but choose to focus solely on their vocal performance in a band setting. It's pretty common.
@@THESORROWFULJUICE Josh was their very first vocalist before The Chariot
It’s just the bass lol but, no, props to Cory I didn’t know he played anything. Being around music for that long, prolly hard not to start strumming.
@@orangedrone Cory does write a lot of the guitar as well, which is mostly why, no matter who comes as goes, Norma Jean is still Norma Jean. Such a talented artist all around.
Been a fan since Bless the Martyr, seen them a few times, and got to pre-game at a bar with Cory, then stand and jump around with them at a small show, helped them load their stuff in their van, after partied at my local pub, then after-after partied with them at the house they were crashing at and it was the best night of my life even 10 years later. The line up has changed since but Cory and the guys are just the chillest, most humble, appreciative and sincere guys. I got a tattoo of their unofficial symbol from O God the Aftermath and we all compared our same tats and they were so stoked and listened to me tell them how much their music has touched my life and MY GOD i love these guys. Past and present. Long live the Almighty Norma Jean.
That's so fucking awesome, dude. I've been listening to them since I was 15 (30 now) and I finally got to see them for their Redeemer anniversary tour. Hearing A Small Spark Vs A Great Forest live, with the whole band dropping out and the crowd screaming "FIGHT FAIR" will probably be one of my top favorite concert moments of all time.
I've listened to Anna about 9,000 times and it still gives me chills. All Hail
Bring a friend with you when you buy this to help you carry it. Gonna be real heavy.
"bringing a knife to a gun fight"
soklamon LIKE BRANGANG A KNAIFE TOW A GYUNNNFOOIIGHHTTTTT
@@Gatordad1717 oh yeaaah you end unforgiving god person!
KIKIKIKIKI. LOIK BRANGUAN A NIV TO GANFAAAAAAAIT
Best Norma Jean album to date. All hail is absolute perfection
norma jean has grown into me the latest years. Please stay strong during this hard times. We need more of your music.
Norma Jean & Thrice = Greatness
Track is "Safety Last" btw. So good. Can't wait for this album...
The breakdown at the end of Ahna is the greatest piece of music ever recorded. It feels like going down a 300-foot drop on a roller coaster listening to it.
Redeemer is my favorite record by NJ and my third favorite record in my life. Polar Similar is nearly behind. After that, Meridional, Wrongdoers and Anti-Mother. Cory Brandan, favorite vocalist in genre. I wanna say, how much i love Norma Jean spirit sound. I saw one comment on metalsucks page, who wrote something like...NJ without Joshua doesnt have any heart.
Did people know, that Goose recorded every cymbal from his drum kit separately for Wrongdoers? And that every album is recorded live? There is no vocalist, beside Cory and Keith Buckley, where i can hear so many emotions in their broken voices. All Hail is one of the reasons, why i am glad, to be alive. I cant express by words, how much i love this kind of music.
Jack Cravford dude I’m with you on everything you wrote!!! Redeemer is my favorite and I really loved Polar Similar as a close second. All Hail the Almighty Norma Jean 🙌
@@davidpatrick999 metalcore mainstream bands can learn from them.
@@jackcravford8744 Fr dude. Not many bands in the genre have stayed this consistent over the years. I can only say that August Burns Red, Trivium, and Killswitch Engage as more "mainstream metalcore" still stay true to their sound.
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 what about every time i die, comeback kid or cancer bats? but their are more hardcore/sludgy. I dont like them consider as metalcore, same with Norma Jean. These bands are more into heavy bass guitars and sludge parts, than riffs with breakdowns.
@@jackcravford8744 Yeah, they're all great. Don't really listen to Cancer Bats though. Some CbK. Honestly, I think for newer hardcore/metalcore Counterparts, Silent Planet, and Phinehas are some of the few leading the way.
Even instrumentally the track carries such emotion. Stoked for the new record!
This album was perfection
So that's what made that slide so great at end of landslide defeater. I smiled so big when i heard that
This band will forever own whatever is popular out there right now. The thought, the feeling and over all sound that differs from every record. Cant be campared. The album title says it all.
This recordis the most gorgeous thing i have heard in years..the vocals the guitars the production..heck even the drums..just a class act all around
I’ll be in the pit with my walker if you guys keep making tunes like this. Thanks for the great years!!
Putney the snare tone g0d
It is a good snare drop
Loved Norma Jean since I was a freshman in high school. I’m almost 30 now and they’re one of the very few bands from that time that I still love and listen to all of the time.
I love hearing the instrumental for Safety Last. It makes me appreciate the band's musicianship this far into their career.
All hail. I just heard this and my God. It’s so good. Masterpiece.
man O God the Aftermath for me is one of the heaviest and most chaotic sounding albums ive heard. I listen to Converge and Dillinger as well, but something about "O God..." always does it for me
Wow. You guys have come so far on this ride. This is going to be an amazing album, it sounds so full and atmospheric. Like your new guitarist said, some heavy riffs. I'm super excited to own another Norma Jean album to my collection. Even found a luti-kriss album at my local record store when I was 17 😉
One of the most underrated bands in metal
Yes!! All Hail!!
Last álbum was amazing
How can you not love these dudes, just grinding and making awesome music. Long live Norma Jean!
The instrumental playthrough of "Safety Last" gave me a new appreciation for the song.
It's just the instrumental recording from the album played to footage of the band playing it in person. Would have been cooler to hear them actually perform it.
Prey for this, pray for this
This album was amazing. Out of all of the albums released that year by new bands and old bands that were reuniting or finally releasing new music, this album was the best. Norma Jean is so awesome.
I cannot wait for this whole album to drop. This is some of the best stuff you guys have ever put out
All Hail is 100% album of the year
Listened to the album and honestly I think it’s their best. Well made. Well produced. The vocals are killer as well.
When Monuments does a fork and knife slide on guitar, and Norma Jean TAKES THE BIGGEST FUCKING KNIFE THEY COULD
The production is so crisp and smooth not over produced
Pleaseee release a live version video of the album ! Btw awesome bass sound
You are bests and beasts
Landslide defeater was just a mindblowing
Cant wait for new album
Bless the Martyr changed my life
Totally different band...
Not even the same band lol
Mine too. Introduction to chaotic music
Amazing Instrumental!!!
Great perspective of the song!
Some more would be awesome!
saw them live earlier this month for the first time. been a fan for nearly 20 years. absolute most nostalgic and crazy live show i've ever been to
Lovin these studio videos KERRANG!
Favorite band, favorite producer! Hell yeah!!
Love the guitar tone
This band continue to push the boundaries that’s why they continue to be interesting and keep the listener engaged
I love this band so much 😘
Amazing album
That was cool to see. They sound so good.
I just want to play music with my friends🎈🧸
Sick!!! That got me so hyped. Can’t wait for this one to come out! I already preordered it.
Yessss! So stoked!
God that drum mix sounds so good at the end
This was awesome. Thanks for posting this! This album is GREAT! And excellent sound!!!
Stoked for new NJ
That was unreal. So good.
Can not wait for this record.
Yo i really like the sound.....WOW good stuff Will and NormaJean..killing it!!
massive props for still rocking an " a secret death " jumper. theyre from my home town and still on heavy rotation in my car.
INSANE!!!!!!
Love you guys
5:50 that break probably opened a series of black holes through out the universe! So f!cking heavy!
Unbox Therapy guy playing bass, very nice
All Hail is going to be amazing!
Watching this was so cool now that I know the words to what they played
The riffs in that track remind me of Dimebag. Some cool bending and innovative riffing.
I like it!
I feel like this record is under-appreciated.
Cory is right. This band is special to someone. And i def want more records in the future.
That person is me. And I’m sure I’m not alone.
Oh man, can't wait to hear Cory's vocals over that last track!
silentkid I thought it was mind over mind?
@@thelightbeamrider28 'Safety Last'
this album was my favorite since anti mother
6:16 that slide gave me chills ..fuhhk
I have never heard a better heavy band.
Instrumentally brutal deep emotional heavy...awesome guys...really awesome. Sure the whole album is gonna be the same
❤
What tuning do they play in?
anyone already pre-ordered? gonna be so good
Pre ordered the almighty vinyl variant 🙌
@@Sepiatroce979 Gotta pre order this and Alcest. Both have been releasing nothing but bangers.
Oh Shit!!!! Thanks
What brand bass guitar is Cory jamming? It’s gorgeous
Yeah. It's sick, I had to find out, so I paused when they showed a closer view of the headstock and saw LTD. It's an: ESP LTD GB-4
No one should dislike this
Everybody rush the ONE disliker!
Did Jeff Hickey write guitar parts for this record? I know he's no longer with the current lineup but he's playing with them here. I hope the guy gets healthy and comes back to the current lineup eventually. He's fuckin awesome!
Jake Harris he wrote most of it with Corey, sadly due to the situation they went through Kerrang decided to remove him from this mini docu
Like alot of modern albums from legendary bands this album took a couple listens but it might actually be my favorite album. Its got a nice slow build then its just fucking slamming
Best band ever.
who is the filthy son of a gun that wrote that outro to trace level? All hail to you sire
Rusty Butcher shirt?
I've always known about norma Jean but never listened to them. The moment I heard careen and translational I became infatuated
All hail Will Putney !
What is the bass Cory plays on Safety Last ?
Fuck yess
SO PUMPED for this record
Bring the thunder NJ!
What bass guitar is that and also what pickups haha
...dem boyz wit the big ole pupils.
It's nice to see guitars not covered in foam and string dampers, let that shit ring boyyyy!!
Today I learned that Norma Jean could have just been an instrumental band, and they would have still been good.
fuck.when they kick on thoes octave pedals it sounds so god damn mean. I need an octave pedal now.
Sounds nice and tight
of course you used a knife... it all makes sense now, as this record sliced my fucken brain!
anyone got tabs for this!?
that snare though
He also worked with silent planet on everything was sound
