From the Victory press release:
Emmure have released a new live performance music video for the track “Drug Dealer Friend.”
The group will support the recently announced album, Slave To The Game (out 4/10), with a full North American tour this spring. The band was also announced to perform at Bamboozle on 5/19.

Thoughts:
- Strong passive voice in the lead sentence of the press release. I assume it was written by whoever is the latest random, hot 23 year-old Victory PR girl these days, so no surprise there.
- In case you missed it (via giant Impact font subtitles), the first line of this song is “I wanna watch you suck his dick. I know you fuckin love it, bitch.” I am guessing Thanos Reignz intended it to come off as some kind of super angry, misogynist “u broke my heart so nao i h8 u and i want 2 kill u” thing (or possibly “as u can tell from my krazy lyrics i am rly disturbed, don’t mess with me!!”), but I just think of how great this song would be as background music for gay porn.
- Stoked on the fact that every single shot in the video contains either a basketball jersey, New Era hat, mesh shorts, or a windbreaker.
- One of the guitarists plays a Fender (some kind of Strat I think)… wat?! Will they start making grassy field/fortress walls videos and writing friendzone lyrics by 2012???
- I really, REALLY wish their upcoming album was called “Slave to THA Game.” I feel like they missed a big opportunity here to declare themselves the heirs apparent to the wiggerish arm movements throne!
And then there is this…
But if they had called it Slave To THA Game then they would have missed out on this prime designing opportunity. Tired of those pussy designs where only TWO words share the same enlarged letter? Thanos Reignz has got you covered.

On another note, I was super bummed when they uploaded this. Their announcement last night kind of made it sound like they were uploading something new. Sadface.
Thanos just pointed at his screen and said “Blaow, how you like THAT you smart-ass faggot blogger?? We just flipped the script on yall!” Then he put his Darth Vader helmet back on.

literally lol’d
“SO YOU SEE ME NOW?” repeated over and over? I have decided that 2012 will have the birth of Johncenacore.
Emmure creating an album entirely based off John Cena lyrics would be a total mindfuck.
The disturbing part is I can totally see non ironic Emmure merch that says “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect” though.
I didn’t laugh at this because I realized it’s not even a small stretch of the imagination. I just looked down at the floor and got a little sad.
in b4 Emmure covers John Cena’s “FU” song (brock lesnar dis track)
In b4 Brock Lesnar storms an Emmure concert and starts F5ing fggts into space.
I’d actually pay to see that though. Somebody holla at Brock. Tell him not to fuck with the guy in the Vader helmet tho.
Maybe I need to re-read The Elements of Style (I do), but wouldn’t passive voice be “A new live performance music video for the track ‘Drug Dealer Friend’ was released by Emmure”?
Actually, I think you are correct! Looks like Hayley at Victory gets the last laugh
This is in the perfect tense, right?
#SYWHgrammarclub
let’s parse the verb! “have released” in this sentence is singular, third person, perfect, active, and indicative. now that i think about it, really it should be “has released” since even tho Emmure contains multiple people it’s a single unit on its own (i.e. we’re not talking about Emmures here). with the similar word “population” we don’t say “the population have grown” but “the population has grown”.
but on a more srs note, lol @ that vocal cover. i hope he waited unti his parents left the house so they didn’t have to hear him screaming about watching a dude get his dick sucked.
The Fender is a Slipknot signature model. So hardcore bro.
Jim Root’s Telecaster packs some serious chugging power.
and is only $600 overpriced!
Dude might just be really into cuckolding. It’d make a lot of sense for Emmure to write a concept album about fetishes where they don’t clearly identify them very well.
Considering he has a song where he says “I’m probably the worst fuck you ever had”, this doesn’t seem far-fetched. Cuckcore?
hes probably a brony as well.
Allow me to quote Sergeant D here-
“I didn’t laugh at this because I realized it’s not even a small stretch of the imagination. I just looked down at the floor and got a little sad.”
A song where the lyrics consist entirely of choruses.
this is the logical progression of deathcore. when a song is entirely breakdowns the only lyrics you need are calls to mosh.
I consider it a landmark moment in postmodernism
I almost fell out of my chair from laughing so hard when I read this
So, wait, the singer’s name is based on a comic book villain? What a faggot.
14 word song and what’s up with playing a 7 string with 6 strings?
Oh god the boy in the cover is so ugly and ghey, I would feel bad but I’m to busy lulzing.
that vocal cover left me so bummed :(
Please note the double space (two strokes of the space bar, sometimes referred to as English spacing) between sentences in paragraph 2. In my experience this is a typing characteristic of people over the age of 35.
See also: mono spaced fonts, typewriters.
I exclusively double space, and I’m nineteen. : (
Srs? Who taught you this bad practice?
My typing teacher in junior high. I think I remember reading that it wasn’t official for MLA or something at some point, but I’ve written papers and no one has ever said anything about it to me.
It’s definitely debatable, but totally unnecessary. I’m shocked that someone your age was taught this. Blows my theory out of the water. :(
I don’t know if anyone else my age does it. I insist upon typing “properly” even when I’m chatting with people on the internet, so I stay up to speed on proper form. My friends probably don’t because they are just like “There are no rules for IM’ing, so I’m not going to hit the space bar twice.” It’s just habit for me at this point.
The bass player is crouching!
Crouching = Tr00 Numetal detected.
the guitarist has used a telecaster since like the respect issue tour. He said my story was cool, and then he called me bro
I read this in the voice of a breathless 8th grader speaking as fast as possible
if i was in 8th grade i would have written how your blog sux and thanos reignz is dope
To be fair, he IS dope and this blog is average at best. So you wouldnt be all wrong
i like to picture him sitting in the back of their merch tent at warped tour in his darth vader helmet, refusing to acknowledge anyone.
“Frankie is not here. You must speak with me, Thanos.”
so lulzy, i wish you were my 19 year old community college bro.
lol’d out loud.
Hope Thanos does a song by song analysis of his lyrics again.
Wait, again? Link? Also, what’s all the talk about the Darth Vader mask? Is that another sweet video I missed?

I think the awesome ‘songs about sucking dick’ tag deserves an entire post. Talking about numetal and gay porn:
OK, html tags are not my forte, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T6nUXoGapM
YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK AND FUCKING LIKE IT!!!
This song is a very insightful commentary of the desperation that drug addicts have, and shows the extent of what they will subject themselves to in order to get another high.
The total desperation of needing eye contact, from the drug fiend in the midst of exchanging services with the drug dealer friend. One is led to believe the singer is having difficulty in cumming.
Take out the double bass and make some of the vocals less screamy and more whisper-warble and you have the “best” song that Korn never wrote.
My cromulent point is embiggened by the fact that some of those dudes are definitely doing the head/munky “bend at the waist” shit.
Something makes me think that this is a strategic branding initiative on Emmure’s part to align themselves with the jerbang music of yesteryear that still remains in the more rural pockets of the country, while still being wiggerish deathcore as fuck.
Basically, they are really laser-focusing their domination of the dudes who wear Monster Energy Drink apparel demographic.
Doubt it brah. Thanos non ironically wanted to tour with Limp Bizkit. You’re over thinking his motives.
I was about to say, Thanos Reignz is the Fred Durst of this generation.
I was trying very hard.
I liked that Simpsons episode, too.
I wanna make a drinking game out of that video were the players take a double shot every time something wiggerish/thuggish is said or done or displayed in the video.
steez Messiah = Now dead from alcohol poisoning
I didnt know impact font had a new video clip
The drummer and singer from Sevendust really let themselves go.
