Recipients of the 2012 Skinniest Band in Australia Award.
There has never been a better time for us guest writers to abuse our power on SYWH. Now that Sarge has left for his walking tour of Mongolia, I really feel that this is an appropriate time to talk about DJENTING 4 CHRIST.
My good bros in PREPARED LIKE A BRIDE have just dropped their killer new EP, “A Dangerous Journey”. I was hesitant about posting about these dudes, because I don’t want the metalfags to rain on the parade with comments on stupid trivial semantics like “Wut kind of band name is Prepared Like a Bride” and “This isn’t tr00 proto-wank-Meshudjentcore u idiot” or ”This doesn’t satisfy my robust and meaty IQ”, instead of paying attention to how damn good THE MUSIC is. But I digress; this EP rules, I am moshing, and soon you will be too. Here are a couple of tracks:
This is the first song, In The Valley of The Shadow of Death. IMO they have perfected the delicate balance between heavy and melodic and wanky. The lyric video is packed full of gorgeous scenery that really makes me feel blessed 2 be alive. Skip to 2:11 if you want your balls to explode from pressurized mosh.
This is Vanity Fair, a song that doesn’t waste any time. It’s short but it gets the job done. I almost died of crucial car mosh when I first heard it, especially dat gloomy ending!
I’m proud to see my friends release such a solid record, I really hope they blow up huge. The whole EP was self produced, mirin’ these production values HARD. I give them a perfect 5/5 “excited parents who don’t like the music but are happy their kids are in church instead of doing drugs”.
The dudes are currently Djenting 4 Djesus on tour around Australia with IMPENDING DOOM, (hella jelly) so Ausbros – do yourselves a big favour and go see them live, they’re seriously unreal. Everyone else – get this EP, mosh till u drop, and then go visit them here, they really are good and lovely!
Skip to 2:11 if you want your balls to explode from pressurized mosh.
Thanks for the surgeon warning brah… knew it was coming. Towel was ready.
lol my friends have a moshcore band called prepare the bride. https://www.facebook.com/PreparetheBride?ref=ts
band in post is way better though. i also really like that they have a song called “vanity fair” because it reminds me of 18v.
Not my thing by any means but such a fun band to see live.
Saw them at a house show a while back on A Plea For Purging’s tour and my old band played their 18+ Melbourne stop on this Impending Doom tour, both times were epic.
Which band are you in bro?
I saw them last night at the gold coast (hometown show) and it ruled hard.
And yeah that APFP tour was rad, I played the last show on that tour in qld.
Was in Event Horizon but left earlier this year, they got booked for the show pretty soon after I quit so was jelly as haha, still sung a song on the night with them though.
They just put out a new CD which is a lot better than anything I did with them as well lol. http://eventhorizonau.bandcamp.com/album/misanthropy
The movie Event Horizon ruled.
I tapped-out on the 1st video @ the 2:30 mark (I did chuckle @ the varsity font, though). The message kills it for me. Although I did like Zao & Living Sacrifice, the only dead Jew I venerate is Anton laVey. http://i.qkme.me/3qs5z0.jpg
Aer you trying to say you don’t djent for djesus?? Have fun in hell, faggot
….It’s hard to even say that as a joke :(
^ incubating trooness countdown commenced!
Ditto, nothing makes my butt hurt as bad as any form of religion or superstition (srs)
Trying 2 reduce my buttpain by exposing myself 2 these videos and just paying attention to the music (also srs)
Protip for overcoming butthurt @ religion: watch a video by TheAmazingAtheist, take note of how much of a fggty assdouche he is and ask yourself if this is who you want to be.
Have seen this guy, wanted so bad for him to be funny but he just wasn’t.
:(
Brazzers hath led me astray….Praying 4 me faggit?
“realise”
lololol the point of this laugh is aussies lololol
=D

Holy shit A+++++
one of my all time favorite simpsons jokes/episodes
WHAT WHAT THAT FIRST SONG WENT FROM MELO-CORE TO MOSHCORE TO SUMERIANCORE TO DJENT TO A CHOLO FONT
MY HEAD
Listened to 20 seconds of the first song, died of laughter and closed the tab at “MY OWN DE-MEEEERRRRRRREERERERRRRRAAAAASE!”
Moar lyk pregayed lyk a fggt.
Peppered like a broad.
Do not like this band, have seen videos of them playing and cannot feel it. (non-anti-religious sentiments here, brah)
did enjoy ‘denting 4 djesus’ tag though.
Explicitly Christian bands are just fucking lame brah. Southpark is sage in this matter.
South park is not the end all of social commentary. It doesn’t stand for anything, and people who worship SP as gospel have missed the point entirely.
^He mad
End all? Worship? Gospel? Not sure where you’re getting all that from bro. The point (aside from anything I apparently said through you as my proxy), is explicitly Jeebus-centric music pretty much always suck. This band, they’d be pretty solid if the lyrics weren’t so very very lame and sycophantic. But they are. Which puts it right up there with U2 and bluegrass and/or bossa nova covers of anything ever in terms of sheer unlistenability. The South Park mention was merely an aside to that point. Don’t let righteous butthurt distract you.
Personal tastes aside, I can’t think of any metal band who’s lyrics aren’t Inherently ridiculous, so the Jesus stuff seems a moot point.
I don’t think ive seen that the episode if south park you’re referring to, but more often than not when people use Ap references to emphasize their point, it’s usually because they lack the cognizance to develop their own thoughts. You seem like a clever guy so I’m sure this isn’t the case.
That all said, this is entirely to much analysis for such critical mosh.

“I can’t think of any metal band who’s lyrics aren’t Inherently ridiculous, so the Jesus stuff seems a moot point.”
This. Bringing the mosh is all that matters.
Bringing the mosh is all that matters
Agreed, but lyrics about salvation and shit don’t get me pumped. Lyrics about destroying the world, hating humanity, and other immature misogynistic crap get me way more amped to wreck shit.
Disregard Religion, Hail Ignorance
^^ bakd tard like my boner for hot slutty “christian” bishes from the south ^^^
Totally backed. People take that show way too fucking seriously.
Come on, don’t be that guy who wears fedoras. These guys bring the mosh, that’s all that matters
mosh4christcore is srsly one of the best genres ever, gtfo
DO U EVEN XDEATHSTARX, BRO??
I’m christian and I’m all good with christian music but overtly christian stuff like this is a little cheesy imo. I prefer bands that don’t spell it out as much (e.g underoath, we came as romans).
Me too, I’m into all those “Christian but we never talk about it” bands. But really, I had no idea everyone cares so much about something as unimportant as lyrics (70% srs)
I can still mosh my balls off to it zfg.
Well I grew up on fggty emo bands where the lyrics > everything so preference for good lyrics is deeply ingrained in my music background. Still wood accidentally backhand somebody in the face to this band/10
I listened to a lot of emo and rap before getting into hardcore/metal but the attention to lyrics never really carried over, probably because i was too busy raiding metal songs for riffs on guitar
Lyrics are important until they’re not. Half the time I don’t pay attention. But when they’re obviously something ridiculous I just can’t get into it.
I actually like bands that have really angry and serious christian lyrics like Impending Doom (which i find lulzy in a good way). They are really bringing the fire and brimstone back into Christianity.
I feel like this is what Terry Your Dead would have conjured up if Matt Bruso hadn’t come back. Which I’m glad he did, but I really missed the weird melodic shit they were developing with Myke.
+1…Am guilty of being uncool filth ghey that likes Beary Your Dead w/ Myke better than Fairy Your Dead w/ Matt….matt is best in TGI cameltoes guest spots
Well, I don’t feel the need to disparage one over the other (I know we’re just making fun), but I feel the latest album was a regression, for better or worse. It is identical to the Killswitch situation: I admire each vocalist’s important contributions to the band, and although i have my favorites (always bet on black), I will back the band hard to the fullest no matter what.
With this x1000…last album was def p blah. All the hype of Matt’s return/myke bashing had me WKing da black guy (1st time…only kinda homo). Even like his mellow TSA new stuff….
Will always back BYD hard….Matt on TGI’s Chronos was sick….but Dust to Dust will always remain the fav to blast in the caddie w/ my 3 yr old (don’t tell da azn wifey!).
Good to see Johan Liiva finding work.
Hahahaha Jesus H. Christ…That name, that video, that fruity melodic intro, I don’t know where to begin. You can’t make shit up this ridiculous.
Wait…the song is called ‘Vanity Fair’? Holy fucking shit…hahahahaha
Vanity Fair is a mall in San Jose CA, have been shopping there and therefore cannot take that particular song seriously.
Next level mallcore.
Not that these aussie bros had any idea about that, or any way of knowing
It’s also a magazine but this band could’ve been in an SNL sketch.
ohhhh yeah that magazine too!!!
retard moment on my part lol
I’m from San Jose and I thought the same thing. Now there’s two things named Vanity Fair that make me buttmad.
Actually, thats Valley Fair. Somehow, the point is still valid.
hahahahahaha holy shit youre right!!!!! god damn it why did I think vanity fair
dying of laughter at myself right now
when you said vanity fair, I was like “holy shit I have been calling it the wrong thing my whole life” but a quick google reassured me it was Valley Fair. Valley Fair is better than that ghetto Oak Ridge. Although Oak Ridge has movies.
more like prepared like an anus am i rite?
Pretty good, sounds like a djentier Wormwood, too bad they’re still going to hell for playing the devil’s music.
Now that Sarge has left for his walking tour of Mongolia
DEAD
5/5 “excited parents who don’t like the music but are happy their kids are in church instead of doing drugs honorable mention LOL
but srs doe, this bands name is pretty hilarious. Also, wtf do Christcore bands always have these types of names? My Children, My Bride (all time WTF name), and others I can’t remember. Impending Doom is probably the best christmosh band name imo.
In school library listening with headphones on, struggling to hold back the urge to mosh all of the books off the shelves (except the Bibles of course)
“but srs doe, this bands name is pretty hilarious. Also, wtf do Christcore bands always have these types of names? My Children, My Bride (all time WTF name), and others I can’t remember.”
was thinking exactly this
walking tour of Mongolia
ded
Actually saw them with Impending Doom. Made the effort to check these guys out. Terrible live. So dissapoint :(
wood djent the fuk out of evryting 4 jeezus
This isn’t even djent?
not being an IMN, but this doesn’t really sound anything like the common description used to paint the djent picture.
And on the 8th day the Lord said “let there be djent”, and it was goooood.
i like this.
really digging this Volumes4Christ band, they sound pretty advanced for a foreign band
more like prepared like an anus am i rite?
put it in the wrong spot before
I would have tried so hard to get into these guys as a teenager.
Dat name doe. Srsly.
Self produced?? My buddy Sonny produced this record sir!!
