Such an underrated band! They have changed my whole perspective on life..

never seen a band pull off concept albums quite like this, amazing

Dear hope I lost you! Found solace in a bottle now that I'm my mother's only son!! You guys never let me down! So stoked for the album. Supporting you guys all the way.

Defeater have done it again! The drumming is outstanding :D

When I think of the drumming in this band, I think of this song first. It's so tight and smooth

never disappoint. one of my favorite hardcore bands.

You've lived, suffered, succeeded, and been happy being alive on this planet. That's deserving enough.

Damn. New Defeater, and Touche Amore this year. What have I done to deserve this greatness?

totally fantastic. Can't wait for the album! really... everything in the song is amazing. great words, great instrumentation, great dynamics... the list goes on.

you have to be kidding. this is the best i've ever heard his voice.

Beer/bourbon + Defeater = good times.

i would have died if La Dispute had released a new album. I'm still crossing my fingers though. 2013 isn't over yet!!

Can't wait for the album come out!!

Beautiful from the beginning. Today will be sponsored by this.

The flow is heavenly.

love the drums!

So many chills.

This is breathtaking . Exactly what i would expect from defeater . Hopefully this album has an acoustic side too

Amazing!

plus new dream theater, october wolves, a lot like birds, dance gavin dance, letlive, oh sleeper. Oh yes. magical releases this year.

one of the best bands out there.

Better than my highest expectations. Greatest band in hardcore in 2013.

Why didn't I discover these guys sooner? They're so amazing, I actually discovered them through Alcoa.

perfect.like always.

Wow... Just.. Wow..

YES. FUCKING YES. THAT IS INCREDIBLE.

fantastic

Flawless.

Omg. awesome.

Love!

Spot on comparision

ya im dying for them to tour in the US!

The vocals remind me of La Dispute

merci-thanx-it's great!

This is so sick!

Soooo good

soooo goooood

BEAST!

THIS SONG.

very cool!

Certainly a valid opinion. I'm sure a good number of people who consider themselves Defeater fans can't name a song other than I Don't Mind off the top of their heads and it makes me want to pull my hair out.

All we need now is more La dispute ! :)

Plus new Counterparts !

I didnt know about Cerce but damn I'm digging it.

And the new Worthwile album, it's sick.:D

Greatness

i'm speechless holy shit

I think that's kind of the point of the story. There's cross-references flying all over between the previous releases so it's kind of natural to continue as it's all one story. That's my take anyway.

I don't think the two sound similar but the same passion is there! Not sure how this comment received negative votes.

And a new Counterparts album!

holy shit the is amazing!

Fucking amazing.

I know right!? I missed them visiting FL for a show. If they never release another one, I at least have to catch a show you know? :)

plus Altar Of Plagues, Misery Signals, Moving Mountains, Shai Hulud, Brave Bird, Remembering Never, Counterparts, Of Glaciers, Old Gray, Deafheaven, My Ticket Home

Daaaaamn son

Bane, Rotting Out, Chokehold, Backtrack, Incendiary, Cerce, PBTT, Expire, Trapped Under Ice, Soul Search.

Until Modern Life Is War comes out with a new album this september, of course.

Same thoughts here, to be honest. I doubt that most of the people that actually like Defeater have heard of Ruiner, Verse, Sinking Ships, The Carrier, Killing The Dream, Give Up The Ghost(American Nightmare). Most of the new fans are just into defeater because of tumblr and the acoustic side of "Empty Days & Sleepless Nights". Just my opinion, and i might get trashed hard for it

ohmygodohmygodohmygod DEFEATER RELEASED A NEW ALBUM :D

repeatyoutube has never been so relevant at this moment in my life.

"Dear hope I lost you, Found solace in a bottle".

Modern Life is War is so damn good

agree

you guys forgot modern life is war! imo one of the bands that changed the face of 'modern' or 'melodic' hardcore, both musically and lyrically.

yeah same happens with Touche Amore and those "the wave" bands. no big deal. they are actually pretty good and that's the only thing that matters.

Yup! It's fucking amazing! \,,/

Heart in Hands vocalist sortve has a Derek Archambault sexy feel to it too. Only Memories is a good example. No one is Derek though. Dude is untouchable. That guy can shout all fuckin night long and keep the same fierceness he had from the first song

holy hell

plus More Than Life and Modern Life is War..

When Jordan really gets going though in those deep shouts its pretty brutal, but he doesnt do it all the time. Mostly just strange whimper shouts. Derek is more consistent with his lows. Check out Carpathian Cursed. That dude reminds me of Derek fosho. This song is so sick. Good job guys!!

And Letlive.

my head is banging random

I agree with this and I love all those bands that you have listed but how'd you forget Foundation, In My Eyes, Power Trip, The Banner, Have Heart, Wrong Answer, Expire, Trapped Under Ice, Turnstile and Backtrack?

At Peace is still unbeatable

Plus Twitching Tongues!

Dat drumming

Song is pretty good. Bit sad that some of the lyrics seem a bit similar to old songs, but it's still making for a good album

plus Counterparts

unspeakable things

you should sell this as a single on itunes

saetia

Haven't listened to pg99 and saetia too much but you were pretty spot on to my list too haha. Check out Fordirelifesake and More Than Life. If you like Defeater you will like them.

I mean theres a vast amount of music that falls under the umbrellas of metal and hardcore music styles, so it's more up to your interpretation of 'hardcore'! But personally, Im mostly into Pg99, Saetia, Defeater, Touche Amore, La Dispute(Yes i would consider their earlier stuff more hardcore leaning) Refused, Boysetsfire, At the Drive In, blah blah. Maybe it's apparent that I have a tendency towards more experimental or 'post'-hardcore leaning tunes, but I'd consider it hardcore nonetheless!

are you shittin me?! mtl? must get that album fast!

FDLS!!

vocally id say they remind me of ruiner. more than anything

No HD yo?

wait modern life is war got back together?

How so? It just sounds more intense to me.

The only problem of this song: it's too fucking short!!!!!

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY TWICE

yeah, i can dig that. but it still makes me a little sad, if at the least they could use a little more variety in the lyrics.

0 dislikes!

lyrics?

Dead Frontier brought me here....

Don't worry guys, we have a music elitist here to tell us what is hardcore and what isn't

IT'S A TRAP!

It would have been perfect if La Dispute did too. :(

except a million times better.
