For those who aren’t familiar, OBEY THE BRAVE is the newish srscore band featuring Alex from DESPISED ICON and some guys from BLIND WITNESS. If you lieked their first single, then you will prob be moshing to this new one, featuring Scott Vogel from TERROR:
Notes:
- Intro/verse riff goes hard as fuk, and I’m definitely feeling this song in general. Sad 4 metalfags whose pussies will hurt because this isn’t DESPISED ICON, but I’m a hardcore bro so I welcome our new French Canadian mosh overlords.
- Dat complete lack of dynamic range in this mix. Did they tell the engineer “The waveform should look like a solid black bar. We paid for the decibels, we might as well use em!”
- Strong entry-level streetwear vibe: Alex’s WESC varsity jacket, and their logo banner which basically looks like a giant OBEY shirt (in b4 trademark infringement). On the positive side, that means they could just buy off-the-shelf OBEY shirts and sell them if they run out out of merch while they’re on tour and nobody would even notice.
- Chug chant at 2:25 “THIS IS ABOUT TO GET REAL!” is p cool, but I sort of wished it was “THIS ISN’T EVEN MY FINAL FORM!”
- I wonder what the people in the office buildings around this video shoot were thinking when they looked out the video: “Why are those vagrants on the roof next door, and why do they look so angry?? Why are there cameras? And who wears fitteds in 2012?!!”
Obey: The label for people who take Kony2012 seriously.
I feel the odd compulsiveness to go put on a padres jersey and for some reason head 2 hours south on the 5 to san diego n go jackin’ it….
BACKED HARD!
This is kinda like if legit hardcore bros made a srs core song. And I mean that positively!
‘not liek the other srscore bands’ – obey da brave
it’s no liferuiner… but it’s alright for caniandian music
this is good and all but I’m gonna be legit pissed if Blind Witness broke up….
This band has my <3
Fewer than three of you what?
SO CLEVER.PSD

This. I am so butt happy about this band.
“The Terrors”
For some reason that shit always makes me crack up, like in that MS article where you referred to Whitechapel as “The Whitechapels.” So stupid, but for whatever reason i find it hilarious <3
minor, intentional spelling mistakes = never not funny

Funny story about Blind Witness: they actually tabled a deal with Metal Blade a number of years ago (like 2008?), and figured that they could get M.B. to give them more money by telling them that Ferret was also talking to them about a contract. They thought they’d get some sweet bidding war dollarbucks, but instead M.B. just called Ferret up about it and found out that they were totally full of shit. So M.B. went “fuck you” and basically left Blind Witness with nothing. They never really recovered from that.
It’s weird, you’d think that they’d be happy with just being liberated from Torque records. Either way, don’t try to fuck with big metal labels, kids. Just take the contract they give you and sign it with a smile.

Hilarious.
That would explain a lot actually. Like why they never blew up like they should have (srs)
first I was liek “Cool!”
then i was liek “nah”
“then finally I was liek “hmmm maybe”
not sheriff want
I thought breakdown could be harder and then wtf de rigueur srscore melody then the brutalz came back at 3:17 and all was forgiven. Get real MOSH4GRAVITY

pshhh get real its 2012 brah… the tr0o0o0 metalheadz listen to cannibal corpse, ahab, cattle Dee, kreator, and BATTLERAGE!!!!
n none of dat “core” crap of D.I. n chit…
member bro its the year of trooness!!!
‘cattle dee’, amaze
Nah Despised Icon were always that one token core band that IMNs were allowed to like just so they could claim that their hate for deathcore wasn’t just tr00ness induced snobbery.
“I only liek good deafcore like despise icon”
I dunno man, they got a lot of hate from IMNs because of the way they dressed. I still can’t believe people gave them shit for NOT dressing like metal fags!
I think All Shall Perish is the token deathcore band that IMNs are allowed to like.
^^^^ backed tard ^^^
TBDM n ASP are the token bands IMN’s are allowed to listen to!!!’
(hides his luturgy CD in shame)
(<__>)
(z_z)
Something about the opening picture in the article, I’m not sure what, but something about it just enrages me for some reason.
It’s a bro-only barbeque and you’re not invited
orale!! lol …… we all know this bar-Bee-que (most likely) is in so-cal (or somewhere in the east east coast) therefore the guy wearing the brown cooking thingamajihg or the guy sticking his tongue out has a mexi-wifee or minority wi-foo so therefore minorities are welcome n chit brah..
FOR THE FALLEN DREAMS + THE GHOST INSIDE
blasmephy
Verb the Noun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REBLOG DIS IF U STILL VERB NOUNDS IN 2012
I thought that pic at the top was from workaholics and i’m still not convinced it isnt.
yea im pretty sure the dude in the back is Blake, didn’t know he was a hxc bro
Back relatively tard, although I can’t understand why the lyrics suck so bad, Alex wrote at least some of DI’s lyrics and they weren’t nearly as simplistic or retarded as these.
I actually am feelin this more than DI. and you can tell they are tr00 cuz the only color in the video (other than denim) is the bassist’s neck tats. +1 for getting andrew wk to play drums
I thought the chug chant went “THIS SHIT’S ABOUT TO GET REAL!”, which is moderately cooler. I met Alex once, trust me when I say he’s alpha as fuck, or at least king of the alpha-betas.
Sick as fuck!!!
Looks like they imported the bass player from 2007.
Also Vogel must be dirt cheap on the guest vocal market, this, your demise and probably a few other bands, maybe he has a secret bigcartel about where you can choose the package deals of being in your video and wearing your bands merch.
Just saw these guys a few days ago, super sick bros for sure
Mirin’ their tone and gear. Fags rocking orange cabs and obscure, message board approved, overpriced boutique heads need to watch this as a tutorial on how generic gear like 5150′s, ESP’s and Marshall/Mesa gear is ubiquitous among “heavy” genres for a reason: it sounds fucking good.
Liked the hard riffs, didn’t like the melodic parts except at the very end.
Overall 7/10 would mosh again.
Sarge, you seem to have some knowledge about music production?
Just enuf to know that if ur waveform isnt peaked 85% of the time, youre wasting decibels!!
Brickwall or GTFO
bro all the lights in the studio must be red or it wont match my butthurt
breakdown sounds fairly similar to ‘romance is ded’ by parkway drive. but still back song reasonably hard
Wow and Scott Brogel sits and calls Refused sellouts? Dude needs to get bent.
R u filth of gay? Srs
Doing guestiez = selling out
No I just really don’t like Scott Vogel haha.
sorry this is overproduced and boring.sorry scott.but its way better than the first song.
Are srscore bands allowed to have photos that zAny?? seems like breach of artistry
They’re French Canadian, which is basically the same thing as being Euros, so you’ll have to excuse them if they break the rules here and there. Chalk it up to translation issues with the french edition of the srscore guidelines, I guess.
Brb obeying area brave
They’re no Skip the Foreplay…
