Not a huge Unearth fan, though they've got some great songs. But that's an awesome video...
Sounds like a badass tour, too. Especially with Hate Eternal; anyone who's ever heard them knows how mind-crushingly brutal they are.

@Silent, just because you don't like screaming doesn't mean you should bash it. It actually takes a lot of practice/training to do it. They are pretty fun live, haven't listened to them in years though.
@Riegel88, I kind of agree with Silent, the actual "singing" parts aren't very good IMO, the screaming on the other hand sounds pretty good.
Meh... screaming can be okay. This bands actually kinda okay.
Also, Riegel, listen to Ayreon's "Loser". It uses screaming extremely well.
We seriously need a "Metal Discussion" forum. Unless it already exists on here... I'm not taking any notice ATM lol.

If only the parties I went to were like this. Too bad only a small handful of my friends are metalheads.
Interesting idea for a music video though.

Sorry to double post but just noticed Phil Labonte from All That Remains make an appearance during the guitar solo. Ha awesome!
Guitar Rift that Iron Mainden didn't put on an album back in 1985...Check!
Gimicky video theme....Check!
Some guy "Singing" (yeah, right) at the top of his lungs in a uber-scary gutteral tone....Check!
Yep...it's a modern Metal Classic, no doubt.

@ThyHorrorCosmic, bad ass avatar!
I havent liked Unearth since The Oncoming Storm, their last 2 albums were kinda lame.

Jack ass who looks for any excuse to not like a band, check. Just enjoy something that a band had fun creating, okay?

Doesn't sound anything like Iron Maiden anyway. Dual guitars != Iron Maiden.
It does, however, sound like every other metalcore band that rips all of their guitar riffs from Whoracle/Colony era InFlames albums.

Of course it IS worth noting that this band has been around since 1998. These aren't some newbie schmucks cashing in on a trend, they INVENTED the trend.
Oh I'm sorry, did I rub a fan nerve the wrong way?
They INVENTED the trend of screaming into a microphone with some mediocre metal rift behind it? Really? If you've got their address I'd like to send them a huge shoebox full of dog crap as a thank you for that contribution to the downfall of western civilization.
Just For the record, I kinda like the actual music itself...My first concert was Blue Oyster Cult warming up Black Sabbath, but it's the unintelligable growling that passes for a vocal line that I take issue with.
@Soilborn - While I may be a Jack Ass, I'm not looking for ANY exuse to not like a band, but I do call it how I see it (or in this case, hear it). I CAN'T enjoy it when I've got some guy screaming and grunting at me in some pseudo death voice purely to be a "kewl gimick". If these guys actually invented that sound (which I doubt...heard it long before 1998), they need to grow up and move on. From the other comments here, maybe they should have considerd that a several CDs ago.

There's a difference between a preference and being uninformed. Unearth was one of the first "metalcore" bands. This is not an arguable point, it's considered a fact within the genre. You having a preference for music that isn't screamed doesn't make them a bad band, it just means you dislike the vocals. The problem I have with this is people (i.e. you) would rather trash talk the vocal delivery because it's something you don't understand. If you don't get metal, then you never will, and it's a waste of my time to argue the point. The least I can ask you to do is respect a band that has devoted their lives to creating music and spending 9 months out of the year away from their families to try and earn a living. You can either be a dick about it or enjoy something that's a little outside the norm. Your choice.
Upon further review I think these guys are really good at Guitar Hero, and I think they should probably pick up real instruments and start a band some time.
This music reminds me of the patient mother who pats the tantrum-throwing child on the head and goes about her day.
@Soilborn
Earth Crisis, Shai Hulud and Converge were (give or take a few bands, but definitely not Unearth) the originators of Metalcore.
I pretty much hate the genre and even I know that.
Also, I'd like to point out that Metalcore is an extremely watered-down genre of metal, being that it fuses hardcore. Using it as an example when dictating the nuances of metal as a whole is a bad idea. Should've used Thrash, Death, or Prog.

Fucking love Unearth, Zombie Autopilot is one of the greatest songs ever. But it seems like they drink too much before their shows, because they can never nail the solos lol.
@Aurion - I'm well aware. Your point is moot, though, because that doesn't change the fact that @Br0th3rGr1mm is a completely misinformed and willingly ignorant individual. How would that change anyone's views anyway? If they aren't going to give something like Unearth a chance, then bands like Hulud and Converge would go even further over their heads. I'm sure Matt Fox would agree.
Can't we all just enjoy the god damned video?

I don't like the video. Huge fan of Unearth, but this video is just so silly.
Also: pompous music pricks can fuck off. Kthnx.

Looked like they were having fun. Regardless of the genre, what matters is that GH is acknowledged. It's actually something along the lines of what I wished Weird Al would have done when he directed POTUS's "Mixed-Up SOB."
No one is allowed to have fun anymore without being yelled at by someone on an anonymous e-soap box. Whatever, I enjoyed the video and will definitely see this tour!
I don't like Unearth. Regards, bladder infection symptoms
