Not knowing who Dismember is but knowing who Gatecreeper is is the same as as knowing Exhumed but not knowing Carcass. Dismember is literally their biggest influence and Chase's (vocals) favorite band. Fan/artist dissconnect.

I swear people are hyping up Mozart without even listening to Bach

My friend loves gatecreeper but he definitely doesn’t know dismember but he’s a hardcore guy so it makes sense

Imagine someone saying I love Black Sabbath but I've never heard of Ronnie James Dio.

I heard Gatecreeper and thought, I'd rather listen to Left Hand Path.

Thank you J Dawg! Couldn't agree more that the LP variants should match the cover art!

I saw a kid wearing a Gatecreeper tee at the airport last month. Couldn't have been more than 12, skinny, colored hair. I was wearing a Morbid Angel sweatshirt but it made me cringe knowing that both he and I represent the same type of loser to the average normie around us. They probably considered me with my gray long hair the worse case. Point is, none of this shit matters in the bigger picture. We're all freaks here. Gatekeeping is cool and all but have some perspective. We're living in a very small bubble.

Great sticker Justin. Anyone who says they hate cats thats a giant red flag to me. Tells me a lot of who they real are in about 3 seconds.

Daily J Dawg at 6am brah brah

GateCreeper? Never heard of um. They one of those hipster bands from Banger TV and MetalSucks?

I always loved how the Sadistic Intent - Reawakening Horrid Thoughts came with a siiiiick ass red vinyl, even though the cover and sleeve is all in a blue scheme. Opposite disc to the sleeve definitely breaks things up and looks cool.

If someone has the internet it is inexcusable to not know Dismember if they know Gatecreeper. Even if they are 14 years old. I learned who Dismember was and listened to some of their stuff within a month or 2 of listening to death metal.

THE LAND!!!!!

J-Dawg, I agree with you on Darkthrone. Except for the Goatlord album, I dont really care for them anymore. According to Uffe Cederlund, Entombed helped Darkthrone record Soulside Journey and then, for whatever reason, Darkthrone stopped talking to them. Not sure why, but it may have had something to do with the Norway vs Sweden thing back then. All suburban kid drama with panda bear makeup in the scary forest.

Getting butt hurt cause someone rips on a band you like is definitely some wimp shit. Who cares? It shouldn't effect your opinion on the band.

Destruction Beastial Invasion of Hell (1984) is a good demo! 🤘🏻

Damn! just made an order and forgot to say anything.

Bands like Frozen Soul, 200 Stab Wounds, Sanguisugabogg all got exposure from the big metal websites and even some non metal websites. Same with Gatecreeper, Tomb Mold, Blood Incantation, etc. Thats why they are more popular. Bigger websites hyped them up and exposed them to more people. Im assuming they are all tied into hardcore or punk music in some way which is why these hipster websites are covering them. Remember theres tons of metal subgenres out there so these mainstream websites are very selective about what they cover and talk about so there's always a reason why they are covering certain underground music/bands and not others.

Hell yeah, Adam!

I noticed this style taking off when Black Breath hit the scene. Had a circle of friends from the Austin area that were always exposing me to these metallic hardcore bands that mixed in the Swedish DM guitar tone with their hardcore. Now it's so oversaturated that these bands have to experiment with their sound by adding technical and progressive elements to their arsenal. Even try to blacken their style in some cases, and add synths for that cosmic/horror vibe. It's basically what deathcore started doing when it got oversatured with Suicide Silence and Job For A Cowboy clones. Also, J-Dawg, do you have your tickets for the Sick New World fest for 2024?? 😹

JDawg/Devils checked out the Cavalera morbid devastation show last night unfortunately got stuck in traffic and only caught a few exhumed songs (I’ve seen them live a bunch of times). It was awesome to hear those classic songs but holy hell…..CANOES EVERYWHERE!!! They played 2 Chaos AD songs at the end and about 50 flat brim hats went flying in the air and a god damn fist fight broke out with 2 TUFF GUYS….The highlights for me were Antichrist, Show me the wrath, crowd surfing during troops of doom and exhumed and Cavaleras playing iron fist by Moterhead. I had my Insanity Fire Death Fate demo shirt and kept getting a bunch of deer in headlights dick in the mouth/ass looks at my shirt hilarious!!!

Panterrible !! 🤘🤮🤘

QUESTION: Any chance to do an interview with Brian Bergeron, Kevin Gravewurm, or Billy Razorback???

It's up to us Old SOBs to educate the younger folks. But at the same time with the internet it's so easy to research and find the good 'ole stuff.

Some years ago I bought a portal “Mumiae” shirt from hells headbangers before and I still have it in pretty good condition. Thanks Hell! 🤘

I prefer to hear shed the skin then heartwork. The last shed the skin album was great!

Holy shiiiiiiit HHR is repressing The Shadowland?!? Fuck yes!!!

Gatesleeper, 200 Sad Wombs and Pozen Soul are all oner social media, get on the big tours and then comes the cover of Decibel magazine. The majority of people like to be spoon fed their music.

My Popcorn's ready for lIstening da dawg roasting the fvkk outta Canooeeeeee aaaassss POOOOOOOOOSERS 👌🏾🍿

Shed The Skin is much better than the majority of popular newer bands.

Fleshcrawl are absolutely incredible. 😂You can keep Gatekeeper 😂. Stupid band name. Fleshcrawl rules

Anyone buy any Destruction LPs from High Roller Records recently? (Hells Headbangers had them in stock) I bought the 1st album and it was really well done. Colored vinyl, 2 posters and kick ass pictures!

I found Gatecreeper, NAILS, Dismember and entombed all at the same time cuz of the chainsaw guitars I thought it sounded amazing, now everyone uses em even hardcore bands it’s not as special anymore :/

Yo! Nice fuckin goddamn IMPALED shirt my dude!!!! RrrrOOOAAAAR

If any of Bathorys greatest works came out in 2005, let alone today, people might hardly notice, because peoples sense of music had been further obliterated at that point. Its far worse today. This is why people need to get very familar with the true greats instead of the hippie trojan horses like Gatecreeper, Tomb Mold, and Blood Incantation.

Love Fleshcrawl !!

Frozen Soul might even have surpassed the almighty Gatecreeper, in popularity, with Matt Heafy's seal of approval, brah brah! He produced it. Even Gost (Behemoth and Possessor albums, if you happen to give a f**k!) did the synth work on there. So, until Gatecreeper comes out with another one... it's push-ups in the pit all day, every day, 24/7, brotown!!

I don't like colored or swirly vinyl....I prefer black over all, if black isn't an opinion then I'll get clear or a clear splatter. I agree with Chase. In keeping the colors matching the artwork / album theme. Making a green or bright orange variant for Left Hand Path would makes zero sense to me but I wouldn't buy it anyway. I feel you could make a cool splatter version though that would look killer. You buy a record to play. Not to look at. All the colors just drive up the price anyway... just give me black vinyl all day. I'd rather them invest money into packaging and artwork rather a colored vinyl myself. I love Dismember, Fleshcrawl and Gatecreeper. Black Mark and Metal Blade never pushed Fleshcrawl like they should have and it's unfortunate. Fleshcrawl has a new singer and they're working on new material. Go check out their older material. Those albums and artwork are great! I hope they get on a new label and get their name out there. Fleshcrawl not touring the USA at all and not consistently enough in Europe probably didn't help much. Their drummer Bastian Herzog is one of the coolest, nicest guys you'll ever meet in the scene! They're all cool people. So check them out and support Fleshcrawl! Hell's works directly with the band. So check their merch out on the Hell's site!

Those Fatal demos are fucking excellent indeed!

I listened to Soulside Journey after Blaze in the Northern Sky and Transylvanian Hunger.. Blaze is my favorite of the early stuff.. I like their later stuff… That Fleshcrawl album from 2000 (As Blood Rains…) is fucking amazing

JDaddy, what the hell man. You stop into Phoenix and dont even join the boys for a foie gras topped wagyu filet?

Jdawgdizzy, a digibook for bonded by blood or the first 2 demolition hammers would be super killer, I think many people (including me) would for sure love to have those

jdawg anyway you could show us a pic of you wearig that static x you had on at the TOOL concert you went to in 1997

Does the Dawg know that elderly Mercyful Fate wears not only hats, but BACKWARDS hats on stage?

J-Dawg, you aren't supposed to like bands you listened to when you first got into Metal. Jimmy From The Block told me, brah brah. Mainstream Metal is for 14 year olds. I only listen to obscure demo bands.

It’s unfortunate that bands don’t jump at the chance to be interviewed. Burnt out or whatever they’ll be shooting themselves in the foot once the channel blows up. I’d be happy to be interviewed but my shitty band is unknown. Lol

Darkthrone was better as a Swedish death metal band.

My boss fits the title of this video

??? Hey J-dawg are you aware that Mike Smith (aka Papa) from Lividity is now a pastor? "PASTOR MIKE SMITH SPEAKS @ BMIC" here on the Tube.

hahahaha What's heavier than Pantera that cracked me up. ''What was before gatecreeper'' in the same voice.

I thought that Protector album from 2022 rips

Man I like Gatecreeper because I like Dismember… I’m a half poser at the very least

Why does Unique Leader Records sign so many Necrophagist rip off bands???? ??????

I only buy vinyl if it's the only format option

Protector has turds? You keep throwing curve balls Jdawg. To me Protector has a perfect discography imo. Some are better than others though they never made anything that was unlistenable to me.

Never got Into a lot of those retro bands. Only a few stood out and like. To me they are just copies. I rather listen to the OGs ! Lol But I get it though.

To the issue of Darkthrone, their first album A Soulside Journey blows. I gotta give Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under a Funeral Moon and Transylvanian Hunger, but that’s about it. They had a period of okishness after that and then they just became a comedy band. Unintentionally

Gotta do one with dick spiter , I’d fw rob from immolation , ofc glenn, but honestly really all the members of like classic death/black bands lol

Gatecreeper despite being pop DM does have an overall more crushing sound than Dismember. They owe their existence to em though overall I don't think its the worst offense but they should at least know Entombed.

Brah brah

This guys not a poser cuz he says cuss words a lot

If hells don’t put it out it’s poseeer city

Pig destroyer good band brah brah

Twitch is a streaming site, similar to KZfaq. Although mostly used for gaming, but people do podcasts on there, etc. Twitter, you are definitely not wrong, I love to get on there to obviously promote my channel, but troll the fuck out of people. Facebook, it's a shit hole, basically if I didn't do KZfaq content, I'd rarely be on Twitter or Facebook. Then you have TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, etc. All trendy garbage for 99% clowns. As for Gatecreeper, I find them to be mediocre at best, but yes, if someone is a huge fan of Gatecreeper but has never heard of Dismember? Clowns. But yes, gateway bands get you into extreme music. I mean hell, I find some bands I never heard of weekly. Then in the past, some of the bands you mention. I get to check out on stuff I miss out on.

Gatecreeper is from AZ

Digipaks/Digibooks are garbage. Jewel Case will always be the best way to release an album on CD.

Bloodbath is a band that ripped off the early 1990s Sunlight Studio sound . Bloodbath is as overrated, and trendy as goddamn Gatecreeper goddamn it

Definitely a cat person here. Dogs are just way too needy. Can't stand that shit.

Demonical,Entrails,Fleshcrawl just to name a few that are miles above this band.If you like it because it sounds melodic then listen to At the Gates lol ...Yes I am a hater and a massive gatekeeper.Hate to see bands being recognised just because of overpolished production and being under a big label.Real metalheads don't have to be fed by the labels with the latest music.Posers

I think gate creeper is popular cause it’s a fresh take on an old school sound . Not that they are better than the old bands like dismember or grave. But I think if those bands aren’t putting anything new out people want to hear it again instead of going back to the older bands

I'm gonna say it. J-Dawg is doing the Twitter thing of making up someone who doesn't exist and proceeding to get mad at them. I seriously doubt that someone who's into the new school OSDM has NEVER peeped out the classics at least once. It's like if a pizza thrasher who primarily listens to that Municipal Waste crap never listened to Exodus - Bonded by Blood. It just doesn't happen.

Back in the day we thought Dismember was weak-sauce Carnage 🤷‍♂️

5% all the way,right babe??

I don't necessarily agree that bands like Darkthrone that add different elements to their sound are posers, maybe they just don't wanna keep doing the same album over and over and over again. I don't mind bands changing shit up a bit instead of having a catalogue where every album sounds exactly the same, you heard one album, you heard em all...within reason, as long as they don't turn into shitty Metallica.

???!!!!!QUESTION??????????????? Krisiun ageless venomous triggers destroy Vader Litany disco dance triggers brah brah. I bet the young bucks don't even know what im talking about. Your thoughts broskee??? That album may not be the grratest sound, it wipes it ass with todays death metal

“What’s heavier than Pantera?” is the “Ow! My balls!” of metal.
