You are single handedly filling the void that is deathcore commentary and their beginning stories. Thank you Yan

The adversary is one of the most brutal albums to hit the deathcore scene . Lyrics and everything.

So glad someone covered the Brendan era!! I took think he has some of the coolest vocals I've ever heard and I'm so sad he only did these 2 eps! Id be so hyped if he came back in any capacity, the scene needs Brendan!

I love this band, hate dropped the same year as Mitch’s passing and I just remember thinking the scene is over. Then I heard reign of darkness 🤘 I think for a lot of ppl it was the perfect album for a sad time.

CJ later admitted that he didn't actually leave because of his family, he actually went broke because of his weed use. Which people actually got pissed at him for because he had went on a rant on Facebook about how musicians make no money, but he backtracked when he admitted where all his money went to. Once he got back on his feet he rejoined the band

I had these guys at my house after a show have them tattooed in a few places hands down my favourite band cj live best sound

Hey bro appreciate you making this, I was there since about their 3rd Gig and have followed them ever since … pretty much spoken to ever member (current and past) of the band after shows having drinks … but yeah used to go to the little shows on week nights in rock nightclubs in Sydney with 50 people lol… I knew they were going to get big back them! They were doing stuff so well!

Wow man! You just missed the whole debacle with CJ. Would've been interested in hearing your opinions it

I had an observation that you're kind of like the channel I wanted punk rock mba to be, to be talking about the bands you actually care about instead of trying to appeal to a huge audience, keep up the great work man, not to mention your editing is fire 🔥

Just came across this channel and so glad I did. Great content and homage to early deathcore! Keep that breakdown content coming please.

Such a solid band, The whole cj saga is a shame He was a great frontmen

It's funny that Brendan wanted them to keep the breakdown all time style, which is what they do now. I'd love to hear Brendan in another band. I don't really like anything by them beyond Hate though

Bermuda is another sick as F Myspace era deathcore band from Australia. Their EP Tyrant (2008) was on par with Thy Art. I loved these HIGH energy deathcore songs. Great point about the vocals matching the songs energy. Fit so perfect!

So I've got a story about the show that you used the footage of for the Adversary album cycle. That gig was at a church in the Melbourne (Australia) suburb called Bayswater. There was maybe 200-250 people there crammed in the tiny front room of the church. It was hectic. But something happened at that gig that "apparently" pissed the band off. So Cj told the crowd to wreck the place and somehow panagrams and inverted crosses got sprayed everywhere. Other stuff got damaged. They didn't run gigs there after that hahaha It's been pretty great to watch this band grow. I've seen them in tiny venues with like 100 people and I've them in arenas. It's mental. I was also fortunate enough to be at the 10 year anniversary of hate gig that they filmed and had pyrotechnics.

Infinite Death - this is the best deathcore album of all time. I still miss Brendon's vocals

awesome video nice one cool this a good video i like this one man keep up the good work man!

dude no lie I love your content and you’ll definitely gonna get the recognition you deserve. Keep it up boss

Love the pig squeals in the demo. There was a few by CJ on the first full length but I think that was it sadly

I saw Thy Arts first show in the U.S. they played at a VFW hall in Binghamton NY. Last Ten Seconds of Life also shot the music vodeo for Punishment that night. Insane show lmao the pic they showed at 9:44 was the exact lineup I saw. They were playing stuff off The Adversary(it was brand new at this point) and still playing Infinite Death songs too 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

infinite death is one of if not the most visceral deathcore eps ever released in my opinion

Thanks for playing that clip of shipwreck with CJ, freaking love that song

Kind of random but I met CJ at a show in Denver in like 2017 outside of the Summit Music Hall and he was super nice and chill. I was also shocked at how big of a dude he was. All in all he seems like a super good guy.

One of my favorite bands of all time!! I first heard them with "Laceration Penetration" in 2009-10 when I was 8-9 yrs old on MySpace.They have a great story & deserve all the success they have...I've followed them very closely over the years & hearing you talk about these things from "so long ago" 😅 brought back alot of great memories...I stumbled upon your IG videos on Attila's page a few times (Attila being my favorite band) & your channel was recommended to me a few days ago.I love watching video essay-style videos (especially music related ones) I can see The Cozy Representative being an inspiration for you? I really hope your channel does very well in the future. 👍🏻 Cheers from U.S.A.

Thy art is one of the most consistent bands in the entire genre in my opinion, not to mention the dudes have been extremely tight since day one.

If only people knew what would be happening a month after this video with taim💀😭

i saw the title and clicked right away! they are so sickk, another great video!

One of the biggest deathcore bands for me! Excelent musicians and pretty cool guys. Also I miss their early more breakdown focused style, but they change the deathcore game with "Hate" anyway. Really cool channel man!🔥 Greetings from spain

Keep the Aussie MySpacecore coming!! The red shore would make a great video. Legit awesome channel love reliving the glory days

they will never do anything as rad as infinite death! such a killer album. those unhinged highs were beautiful. another band with excellent highs were viraemia, another one of my old favorite bands

Whore to a Chainsaw was such a fucking banger when i discovered it back in the myspace days! :D

i love your videos. and after more than 15 years the infinite death ep is still kinda like my golden standard for deathcore. these psycho vocals are just unmatched. greetings from germany

was lucky to score a copy of infinite death on vinyl earlier this year, was super expensive and sold out in seconds. probably my favorite record in my whole collection. shoutout to wax vessel records you should do a video on them

Nothing beats that EP. Regardless of the drama. Not even close.

Easily gained a new sub! Thanks for the insight one of my favorites and it’s nice to see an unbiased honest perspective. Keep it up. I’m here!

loving the videos, would love a video on all shall perish. super underrated band from back in the day

Guess you'll need to make a part 2 on TAIM as well, since very recently, CJ is not a part of the band anymore.

I’m seeing them live for the second time this year, not the second time ever, the second time this year 😂in October I can’t wait ❤

Good episode!! Yeah, CJ was my favorite, hey! You should do a video on: The Last 10 Seconds of Life! (;

Please do an Acacia strain vid bro been a fan of them since before and life is very long they are from my area so i got to see them blossom into the juggernauts they have become boyo thoae early shows at fat cats bar and grill were lethal lmao

So CJ used to coach me on vocals back in "The Adversary" era. I used to play in another Local band at the time... Grew pretty close to him in this time period... basically the main issue with Brandon from his words was a severe attitude problem. Especially towards Women (shocker right) there was many controversies, involving some grape allegations that no one knows about because that was a pre "internet drama" when he was kicked out of the band. TAIM very much wanted to go in a more tech death direction... Even after the Adversary. CJ used to play in a band called Evolva and Vegas In Ruins... He had a wicked hardcore yell which the boys in TAIM at the time did not want him to do. They were literally telling him do lows only. Which was completely crippling his amazing range. He kept telling me he was going to leave the band at this point (This is before Hate was even an album). Honestly, the band at that point sounded like an absolute nightmare to be a vocalist in. I remember sitting in the car with CJ and I showed him King Conquer, and were like. Dude, yall are missing that hardcore element... You can do these mid fucking yells so good, where did the breakdowns go in the music!?? From there I remember him taking a much firmer stand with the band after threatening to leave... Shortly after this, they released the first version of Infinite Forms which had a different style of vocals on it then what is in the album, CJ was using a lot more of his mid range which I vividly remember him wanting to do. Just to add, as this video was done before the controversy that had CJ removed from the band. This guy is one of the best most kind and understanding humans I have ever met. He has such a level of chill and care for his family... That his name being dragged through the mud and kicked out of TAIM is such BS that ive given up on the band completely... Anyway... maybe people will see this! Just thought to add some additional context as the Sydney DC/Metal scene back then was the wild west lol.

Thank god for Australia, for its Kangaroos, Thy Art is murder and Parkway Drive. Great video man, greetings from Costa Rica

Dude Archspire is my favorite band and I have that same Drone Corpse Aviator t-shirt. I have the same sleeve length too.

I think I found my new favorite KZfaq-channel that does music related content! Please do an episode about Waking the Cadaver, and maybe as a bonus an episode about With Blood Comes Cleansing!

So hype i found your channel. Love the Myspace deathcore era.

infinite death was just something else to listen back then. Totally psychotic.

7:30 I remember this show! ✌🏼😁

I grew up in the blacktown area Stoked to have seen the come up in rl Many other bands come out of blacktown like Northlane

They were the first band to really open me up to deathcore. I was mostly a death metal only guy, but seeing them on Summer Slaughter during the Hate cycle got me really headbanging and moshing to deathcore for the first time.

Bro this videos are amazing ,no one in this platform does this type of videos about deathcore so well done, keep it up 🤘

HOLY WARS!! \m/

18:45, well now they do)

Love Thy Art Is Murder. Hands down still my favourite band. Seen tons live now. Saw them last month with Tyler fronting and it was honestly one of the best shows I've seen them so far, going back to 2012. Still the best live Deathcore band out there, and they had Whitechapel and Fit For An Autopsy with them this time around. I've always loved their brand of Deathcore, just has a lot of groove in it, live shows a re always fucking hectic and fun, and no different this time around in October, despite the obvious "drama" surrounding the new LP. Even played Slaves Beyond Death for first time in fucking ages.. CJ literally boycotted that song as he was sick of doing it live.. so bonus content this tour haha. Tyler's vocals are good live, sort of bridging between CJ and Brendan. Look forward to seeing what they bring out in the future as I love the new LP. Some really strong songwriting on it. Andy Marsh has really piloted the songwriting on it by all accounts. I totally love how the band has progressed over the years.

I came into Thy Art hearing CJ, but left loving Brendan... If he could create another group or just be a feature on an album I'd be a child in a candy store. Infinite Death forever and always... r.i.p to what could of been.

0:29 lmao i actually got cereal

I love your content!!! Please keep making deathcore documentaries!! So cool🖤🖤

Vegas in ruins is fucking amazing

Fucking awesome concept for a video man. Easy subscription, can't wait to see more

I think you should do a PhD in the history of Deathcore

Sad to see this right up to the release of Join Me in Armageddon. CJ's being kicked is catastrophic.

Keep up the great work with these videos.

I actually never heard of thy art till MySpace ended. It was their album the adversary. I feel maybe Facebook was ok the rise. Coop video.

Amazing content as always!

Make Them Suffer and They Art Is Murder - my country punching above its weight in the deathcore game! 🇦🇺🇦🇺

i love this band dude

Great content dude, keep it up!

The Adversary is their best record. It has an evil tone the whole way through.

Your videos are fucking rad homie, super good shit I could watch these all day. Excellent work. SUBBED Edit: would love to see you cover BTBAM's Myspace Era. The world needs it

You should do a update… I’m kinda curios what you think now

Vegas in ruines a band that never took off but there on KZfaq should check them out

Love your videos! Keep it up

Bruv my friend was literally going to take me to one of there show’s earlier this year until my mom said no, which is dumb cus last year she let me go see impending doom

Decent video but you blew it when it comes to Gary Markowski (one of the two original guitarists). You say that he quit when it was actually much more complicated than that… As a musician within the band he was probably like 75% responsible for the sound of the demo, “Infinite Death”, and “The Adversary.” He was EXTREMELY influential in their sound and I’m surprised you couldn’t recognize that! He was kicked out (fired) of the band after the release of “The Adversary” once the others discovered he had been ripping off the band for a while and ultimately tried pawning off their equipment while on tour. Although he was the creative sound behind the first few years of the band, he ended up being a nutcase and had to be replaced. Just wanted to point this out for the sake of “MySpace Deathcore” history. Markowski didn’t quit-he was fired just as covertly yet forcefully as Brendan was. Their other founding guitarist (Sean Delander) stayed on for “Hate” and is the only remaining original member but has never contributed much to their sound. Dude’s riding the gravy train but you can’t blame him. It was always Brendan, Markowski, and Lee during the MySpace days. Once “Hate” came out it was a completely separate unit altogether, for better or worse. Also, you missed a big opportunity to cover the transition between Brendan and CJ’s vocal styles during the time with real people’s comments we have in real time. Once Brendan was kicked out, the band released their teaser single track “Engineering the Antichrist” on KZfaq. I was weary yet it grew on me, but the “Infinite Death” fans were up in arms about how lame CJ’s vocals were in comparison to Brendan’s. It was such a hot topic until “The Adversary” was released. After that people seemed to chill out and realize that Brendan was gone and this was what the band would be. You could have had a field day with screenshots of that, as well as screenshots of the band’s Last.Fm page. Come on, man. Do better research! And maybe learn how to pronounce names like Despised Icon and The Adversary properly 😂❤

great content dude .. cheers

Have that same shirt 🔥🔥🔥 vid

I remember coming across Thy Art is Murder when they had less than 1k views here on youtube! I definitely miss the old vocals, they were so goddamn frantic, but I get that they had internal differences. The old lyrics were pretty cringey and mysognistically overboard lmao. But that's all in good fun when it comes to deathcore right??? Also their guitar style in the early album days was nuts! Hate was their last huge peak to me, I mean they're still solid but I feel like they lost their edge after that and kinda sound like generic deathcore. They do still have some bangers here and there. They've evolved quite a lot throughout time that's for sure. Just learned that CJ just got kicked out last month and all his vocals were removed from the new album without warning him?? Oh shit I gotta read up on this drama 🤔

CJ was a far better vocalist back during The Adversary era than what he is today. One of the main reasons I don’t care for them much at all anymore past Hate. I do miss Brendan’s vocals though.

Need to do Winds of Plague

Love the video dude!! \m/ I was a teenager during this era, I have it to thank for the love I have for Deathcore today. You mention how much you like Brendan's highs and touted them as being some of the best of all time (totally agree). That being said, if you havent heard of them I recommend checking out "The Devastated", namely their song Tongue in Cheek. They only have one album but their vocalist is a MANIAC. Cheers dude!

do old motionless in white

13:01 i was just about to say, the red chord. Id like to know more about them

Can you make a video about As I lay Dying? Please!

@xTheYan can you please do Elysia??!

The only good TAIM is before their debut album

Much love for the videos man but for some constructive criticism, please get a good mic. You talk very quiet yet play loud death metal clips. No hate 🤘

but CJ is no longer in the band....

Can you make a video on iwrestledabearonce or see you next Tuesday?

just can't ignore the Toronto Raptors lol

CJ has since been kicked out of the band

you look so cool 😎

Whats your age 👀

i honestly really miss Brendan, the lyrics were so stupid but his high's were so good, CJ just doesnt have that range, infinite death has so much energy(actually made this comment before i heard your comments, but i agree with you his vocals were so good, sadly to me CJ just is pretty boring imo, good at what he does but what he does is extremely mid the fact that they refuse to play their older songs(hell change the lyrics but they are still classics) is disappointing

Back in the day I head a small stint of being anti christ and anti government and talking about it in my music and lyrics but at some point I switched into being more focused on writing and producing something positive while still sounding aggressive. I hate when a band has such a big reach and all they talk about is negativity when it’s so important to promote positivity and good vibes. Even leaving religion out of it there’s nothing wrong with a positive message so I can appreciate his concern for the kids

Lmao Brendan hated women but he was a better vocalist

it sucks you only just missed CJ being cancelled by the trans community for simply voicing an opinion. Kicked out of Thy Art and abandoned. you are right, we all did exist in a different time, i myself also wore a Whore to a Chainsaw shirt. WTF happened to the world? #SAVECJ

I hate cj vocals.

Their new stuff is 🥱
