Who the fuck is Eris? Why should she be your homegirl?
Let’s just get to the point: Eris should be your homegirl because Eris Is My Homegirl is the mnstrmest deathcore band ever. They pretty much went out there and reached the finals in some American Idol type show in their consonant-obsessed Eastern Euro country. Yeah, we Euros are definitely ahead of Americans now.
Yeah. Dem judges’ faces. And bonus points for the dude introducing them trying to pronouce their name in English but it coming out like “zrrghbx brrwbbrzdgh hrbrmrdrzw” anyway.
They also have the obligatory top 40 cover. Now, you might be thinking, so what, every deathcore band has one. They one-upped everybody, though, by doing their top 40 cover with an ancient whale who sang the original version 200 years ago. Can your deathcore band do that? I don’t think so!
Can your deathcore band play an outdoor New Year’s Eve show and not get booed by all the random drunk poor people? I don’t think so!
The most impressive part is that they’re not some super-modern trancecore band with three vocalists and two synth dudes that basically sounds like more electronic Disneypunk 90% of the time. They do all this with a very old-school lineup – no electronics, just one dude doing all the vocals, not a lot of strings on the guitars… There’s autotune, clean parts, and a bit of semi-synchronized crab squats, but not much by modern standards. They just somehow managed to turn regular deathcore into music normal people can sort of like. Even old people on the TV show.
I guess they just seem like such nice boys, it’s hard for grandmas to dislike them. See, you don’t need trance synths and fancy modern production to be popular in 2012. You just have to talk and look like a bunch of little Biebers with slightly weirder hair. There’s your recipe for success.
Oh, and they have a song called “They See Us Trollin They Hatin”. Of course.
You hatin? Or you down with my homegirl Eris?
You see them reaching global fame and getting some classic rock icon like Jim Morrison or Bob Marley to join them on stage at Madison Square Garden?
I didn’t know deathcore existed in Europe. Have to admit that this actually gave me a painful rash on my anus.
5 year rule, brah.
not in europe.. in POLAND !!!!!!!! <3
you’re american, right..?
MY THEORY is that the judges are super impressed that kids are playing “such mature music” because kids in bands always impress olds, but since it’s Yurop they don’t know that the only people in deathcore bands are always like 12-20.
But also I don’t speak Yuropese so maybe something completely different is happening in that video.
this is super inspring. you go guys!
really appreciate yr curly bangs…
i like how they all laugh together at things i don’t understand cos i only speak english.
fuck i wish i could understand them
honestly one of the best live deathcore performances i’ve heard.
If only we could understand… then we could steal their secret recipe for marketing deathcore to the 45-80 demographic.
they say they don’t look like dirty heavy metal people but like normal guys and that it makes them more approachable, and then they laugh about how old ladies are now talking to them on the street about how they liked their first performance on the show :P also they laugh about how their “dream” is to perform on that New Years Eve show (which was one of the prizes for the winner)
not too bad. That first video was pretty fucking awesome.
so i see trolling now has replaced mocospace, bookface, tweeters, n tumbarlos… interesting
So keen for their Tupac cover with both the real Tupac and the holographic Tupac!!
A+++
I want an Eris is my Homegirl Merch
Google tells me they have one shirt design – a hot pink half-melted cartoon pug?
If you pay attention in the first video you can see thgat the vocalist is wearing an eris is my homegirl shirt, with a bright pink pressing that didn’t quite make the cut for BMTH merch
I think figured out why the hell this stuff gets to mainstream status is Europe, white people over there don’t have country music to turn to.. goddamn AMERCUHN PRAHD
they’ve got sum other merch. seen them live (i’m from poland where they come from) and it was pretty good, met the screamer who’s a chill bro, and yeah actually they are famous in our country, if anybody gives a f i can try to find a link to their ep (which is kinda good imo)
Dude, could you please translate what the judges were saying (especially the old lady)? Srsly curious.
well they actually are all happy and surprised that such band came that far in their show (which was based on how many texts were sent for each competitor by the viewers btw) and dat polish ppl were able to appreciate this kind of music : ) nothing more tbh, everyone of the judges lieks dem and says dat they are chill kids and stuff. btw i was pretty shocked to see something about polish scene on sywh, p stoked because of that <3
Oh, we are big appreciators of the Lebensraum and elsewhere in the Eastern Bloc

i’m posting this band’s ep, some of you might probably want to check it out
Mmmmmmm. I’m down with this band zrrghbx brrwbbrzdgh hrbrmrdrzw. I’ll be zrrghhbx’s brrwwbrrzdgh anytime
Replace homegirl with jaina or ruca and I’m down
Backtard. I’m all for heavy music getting promoted (even by lame talent shows), more awareness=a lot more bands: good and bad, call it the bmth effect if you will. Looks like they’ve already got the ‘fluorescent animals and gore’ merch sussed too.
Poland is good and lovely. idc about neon trancecore but omg girls and vodka are both fucking premium there.
They also spawned very good yet awefully IMN-worshiped dm bands.
Actually really impressed with their live performance.
they’re better than most of the smalltime deathcore bands from the US. But if I ever saw something like this on americas got talent, im moving to the moon.
2:51 into first video was frightening, also, lead singer was def. jocking his own band’s shirt.
LMAO, yeah. 2:51 is creepy as hell. I guess she likes young boys. And she has more teeth than most people.
Would hammer that presenter’s cervix into her stomach/10
TAK TAK TAK TAK!
TAK ACROSS THE BOARD
Deathcore mixed with ska-punk and autotuned vocals?
it’s poland dude, we do stuff

I’m from Poland and yes, they’re horrible, everyone who listen to ‘normal’ hc, mc or dc hate them, it’s not a big surprise. But we’ve also got in Poland a lot of pretty good metalcore or deathcore bands eg Drown My Day, which is recognized across the world, I think. So don’t judge Europe/Poland core scene beacuse of one band! ;)
Don’t misunderstand; Many people here feel that Eris is legitimately awesome. You should be proud of them and all your scene brethren for bringing the mosh. Polska Power!
by the way metalcore/deathcore music in polish television:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybbyEivNT3U Faust Again – another great polish hardcore band, “Filmed and broadcasted on Polish Tv called “TVP Kultura”" (TVP KULTURA -cultural tv channel which belongs to TVP – polish public television). cheers!
They’re great.
Really, better than some bands from USA or UK, so I don’t understand why polish bands are often underestimated abroad.
And everyone should know that POLAND HAVE MORE GOOD BANDS ;)
Here links to one of songs post-hardcore polish band:
