ALEA JACTA EST + pool toys = you’re moshing, Eurocore style!

I have no idea who this band is, or why they would choose a name that’s impossible to remember or spell, but consider me their #1 fan after watching this video! I have watched this at least 5 times today, but there’s so much great stuff to take in that I’m still concerned that I missed something- halp!!

My notes:

  • Wtf does their name mean?? I don’t speak European :(
  • Even more pool toys than the Winds of Plague “California” video
  • If there is an award for “moshcore band with the most brightly-colored polo shirts,” I am sure the finalists will be these guys and TRC
  • More bands should include “walkingly aggressively through a souvenir shop” segments like the one at :33
  • The “special effects” at 1:44! Ironic use of shitty After Effects presets = never not funny
  • I’m not sure what the breakdown announcement at 2:05 is all about, but “now it’s time to party with Mr. Napalm” is pretty amazing regardless of the intended meaning. Only question: will it fit on the back of a shirt in Impact??
  • Literal crowd surfing at 2:29
  • LOL @ any band that has a .eu domain

I’m sure these guys will never even sniff any kind of recognition in the US, so I’m just going to hope that the inevitable anti-tr00ness backlash of 2015 will consist of an entire scene doing its best to recreate this video!

    It means “The die has been cast” in Latin, i think?? #nerdfag

    • pl says:

      quote from Julius Caesar, they are mediterranean (not sure if word exist in english) its a pretty common expression in french
      also TONIGHT WE MOSH IN HELL

      • eurotrash says:

        Yep, Caesar said this when he and his troops crossed the Rubicon river, effectively starting civil war in the Roman Republic, and the band actually misspelled the quote for some reason I can’t fathom.

        • Inb4skin says:

          Isn’t that how you anglicize the roman letters? Their alphabet wasn’t quite exactly the same and the roman “ALEA IACTA EST” becomes ALEA JACTA EST in English… I could be way off, but I like to think I’m right, lulz

          • pl says:

            romans spoke latin : same alphabet as ours
            if I remember my latin lessons ALEA IACTA EST = ALEA JACTA EST but we use alea jacta est
            the common translation is dices are thrown

            • Inb4skin says:

              Actually Latin had no J and no U, other than that their alphabet is the same as all the derivatives (including English)

              This is soooo nerdy and not fun, let’s forget this shit and talk about moshing and bitches, yeah?

            • blablub says:

              i’d rather use “Iacta”, becaus I think the “J” supports mispronounciation like “alea chakta est” or something.

  2. Inb4skin says:

    Mirin’ the gap toothed vocalist too!!

  3. Wang of thunder says:

    It should be a requirement that all moshcore band members are jacked. That wont happen, so I am willing to settle for one token jacked member per band.

    As always you be killing it with the tags

  4. refusetodie says:

    This shit is fucking sweet, US needs more goofy-ass party hardcore bands. I am moshing.

  5. Save Parker says:

    They look like five random chosen frat bros with worse teeth. So many smiles, definitely too fun for the US.

  6. cluelesseurobro says:

    EUЯOS ARE PEOPLE TOO! XD

  7. Walker says:

    Sick song, sick video. I wish that Eurocore bands would just have their lyrics in their respective languages, because when they try english i cannot understand a word they are saying!

  8. JS says:

    Toulouse hardcore = lol

  9. Martin Regnen says:

    Have fun levels fallen so low that yellow now passes for an extreme example of colorful polo shirts? Where’s the neon pink? The Canterbury uglies? The La Martina fakes from Turkey?

  10. randomeurobro says:

    Yes I’ve been waiting for this one!!
    Bassdrops and stoopid samples, AJE = pure SYWH material.

  14. Triston says:

    lol @ dude curling the water guy at 2:10

  15. Park Saver says:

    Unrelated, but surprised at how unshittySYWH mobile is.

  16. anon says:

    1.) lyrics begin with a dark knight quote followed by an apocalypse now quote…
    2.) at 1:05 he pushes his glasses up with index finger like a nerd, about 30 seconds later he angrily gesticulates at his pool toy while screaming something as if pointing it out as an example
    3.) in the breakdown after 2:00 are they really chanting “BOOM….BOOM….BOOM…..”?
    4.) end of video – dead in pool from partying too hard! time to mosh in hell

  17. Dr. Unk says:

    smug look+headbob @ 2:13 : doing it 100% right

  18. Open Window Maniac says:

    These guys are too fun. With srscore, tr00 pop punk, and entombedcore taking everything over in the US, I doubt these guys will ever get recognized in the States. But I get the feeling that these guys are SYWH readers, just a hunch…
