hey everyone! I thought I would share the meaning of the video since so many comments infer there is a lot of confusion! First of all the lead character Drake is living 2 lives. One as a family man and the other as the man he really always was. There are also 2 worlds in play: a dead world and the living. All the characters in this video are from the living world except the 4 villains in the coffee shop who have been sent to keep an eye on Drake and keep him alive until the dead world is ready for him. Thea (the girl who runs Drake over) is the daughter of the dead world and is responsible for getting pregnant with Drakes child. When she "kills" him at the end, she believes he will will enter the dead world where she can be with him after the child is born. Problem for her is the Drake can bounce between both worlds and the ending of this video was only the set up for the story. "Runaway" runs parallel to this video and shows what happen in the diner after Drake left. "My Reward" was supposed pick up right after the car scene but a live action video was chosen to save money instead and abandon the story. I believe a comic book exists for it somewhere but I've yet to ever own a copy of it! Hope you all enjoyed the video and 4.5 years later I'm glad to see many more just discovering the band.... Even if it ended so quickly! Cheers, Bryan
Bryan Crouch great song and video! I'm a high school football Coach and we blast this song pre-game every Friday night during the season to get Jacked up before kick off. My guys love it!
Originally this band introduced me to the Rock and Metal scene, they were the reason why I turned into a metalhead, after this guys I searched for more bands and styles, I always thought they had an amazing style that sadly isn't getting the recognizing that it deserves. So sad that the band is now split up :(
Ironically enough HtV is also what got me into rock and metal more, eventually I ended up being a legit metalhead. HtV is still in my heart tho. Love 'em, so sad they split.
The one released album from HtV is just so insanely good. I saddens me to learn that they disbanded before they could really put work in. Here's to hoping in the future they re-connect. One of my favorite albums of all time, easily.
in a world when kids singing songs that haven't yet hit puberty and rapers that aoutone their voices the band hail the villain brings hope to this world even if people don't know what real talent it
Excappex I saw them here in Montreal at a small venue of aprox. 60 -70 people in the crowd. They putted an amazing show, they sounded great. they chilled with the crowd after the concert. It was the life. Sadly the band ended way to quickly.
there was one another album they did called disconnected back when they were called fahrenheit, that album has some great song on it to, also check out six side die, thats where the lead singer from hail the villain is now.
I saw them live back when they were supporting cky in the u.s. I dont even think this album came out yet. I was real impressed and thought they would really get somewhere, fate had other plans
I saw them open for CKY and was an instant fan. Was so sad to hear they parted ways. I literally use this song to overcome my panic attacks to this day -
WTH? Why do I have to keep going back and liking these videos? I literally liked every video, AGAIN, 5 days ago and listening to this now and it says I only liked 1 song.
I'm still gutted by the fact that they cancelled all of these huge plans they had in store. :( I can't even find the comics in any place I search. The story and the tone alone would've been perfect in either Dark Horse or Image Comics! I really wish they'd get back together and at least finish all of that up. They owe it to themselves. We need closure. They may not be dead, but are they actually writing?...
Nathan Millen Schimmel i went on rune.co and it didn't make me read the comic, it just showed me some images and videos of the band (which can be found on youtube), what should i do?
Saw Hail the Villain in Corpus Christi, Texas at the Monster Energy Drink Uproar Festival on September 11, 2010. Hellyeah, Stonesour, Halestorm, A7X, and Disturbed. Awesome day.
I love how you can see those 2 Asian women in one of the booths and that Runaway shows what happened to them. The storylines in these songs are amazing.
Артур Стадник He had vocal cord cancer (I think that's what it's called) and the band told him that if he didn't recover as soon as possible, he would be thrown out of the band. And they did that. So Six Side Die is pretty much a big "fuck you" to Hail The Vilain. Bastards.
+Shamara van Wesel poor Bryan. This is his name, isn't it? Thank you very much for the information . But where is HTV now? There are no news from them. New singer's group? I didn't hear about it.
i don't think he had cancer, but yeah i saw his new band live opening for Thy art is murder, and i didn't even realize till after the show i was like, oh damn i knew that singer sounded familiar for a reason lol
I've been listening to this band for years. This is one of the first songs I learned on guitar whe. I was like 14 or something and now I want to do the vocals after years of doing vocal work. I'd love to cover this song or do it with the original band. It sucks they axtually stopped. Anyone know why?
Definitely, I still want to find out any way to contact the band or even Six Side Die. This band and even Six Side Die have alot of potential, every song by both bands I am a fan of
I absolutely love this song!!! Plus the animated video adds to it. I've been playing this non-stop. I only heard of this band like a month ago. I don't care where they are from.............this band kicks ass. TAKE IT AWAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
i am listening to this because i will miss Bryan Crouch as the lead singer of Hail The Villain, best of luck to the other members of this band! You all are still amazing
This is actually my first time listening to this band. Saw that they are supposed to be playing Rock on the Range this year. Looks like another band on the list of ones I want to see there. Lol.
I had never heard of these guys till the other day when i seen Sevendust and i probably never would have either but i am glad i did they were awesome the front man is one of the craziest guys iv'e ever seen on stage.

Bryan Crouch yes, there is a comic book showing what happened after this. It is called "My Reward", but I dunno if a copy is being sold.
I been watched the video like 200 times. AND NEVER FOUND THIS COMMENT. GOOOD
Bryan Crouch great song and video! I'm a high school football Coach and we blast this song pre-game every Friday night during the season to get Jacked up before kick off. My guys love it!
Wow, cheers for the explanation. The band was one of the reasons I headed to Montreal for Heavy MTL 2010.

Ikr there band is so good
Check out Six Side Die they have a similar style also if I’m correct the singer from Hail The villain went there
this whole album goes so hard
WHERE IS MY 2024 CREW??????? 0:25
I've been looking for this song for three years!...THREE years! Finally today I've found it and it's as good and refreshing as it has ever been! Wow
Here in 2022. I miss this band so much, they had so much potential to grow & expand not just with music but visual storytelling too.
Saw this on TV, had to check it out 👍🏼👍🏼
HOLY shit I remember listening to this in 2016 on NAT GEO music! it's been 8 years, and I still remember this song and video
Can't stop listening to this song!
Wish they did more honestly
shit is sick as hell. not many views. ppl are missing good music
they shouldve been hudge but they broke up before they got the chance but im with you this album is killer
God I still ****ing love this song. Hi! to me from 2010!
The one released album from HtV is just so insanely good. I saddens me to learn that they disbanded before they could really put work in. Here's to hoping in the future they re-connect. One of my favorite albums of all time, easily.
I’m not gonna let you take this song away from me as long as You want and I’m feeling it?!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤟🏾😝🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥
Still watching this in 2018. Never gets old.
in a world when kids singing songs that haven't yet hit puberty and rapers that aoutone their voices the band hail the villain brings hope to this world even if people don't know what real talent it
The whole album is great !
Such an amaxing soundtrack to so many memories with my brothers thsy i had to move away from.
I love how there’s a connection between the story in this and Runaway, nice touch.
How am I just now discovering this band, holy balls. I'm gonna go watch your other videos now.
I know that feel, I discovered them back in 2011. I never got the chance to see them live...
Excappex I saw them here in Montreal at a small venue of aprox. 60 -70 people in the crowd. They putted an amazing show, they sounded great. they chilled with the crowd after the concert. It was the life. Sadly the band ended way to quickly.
Sadly, when vocal chords decide to quit, it's hard to get them working again.
Excappex
They're working again though, just not in this band.
that's what i read. I'd like to hear what they been up to.
Discovered these guys in Tulsa oklahoma back in 2011 they put on a pretty wmn good show for a band I never heard of at the time.
I can’t believe it’s been 11 years, damn
Hopping in my civic to take a late night back roads blunt ride to clear my head....... By myself...
This song hits
This band ended way too quickly! their only album population: declining is packed with amazing tunes in my opinion. check it out man!
there was one another album they did called disconnected back when they were called fahrenheit, that album has some great song on it to, also check out six side die, thats where the lead singer from hail the villain is now.
I saw them live back when they were supporting cky in the u.s. I dont even think this album came out yet. I was real impressed and thought they would really get somewhere, fate had other plans
I saw them open for CKY and was an instant fan. Was so sad to hear they parted ways. I literally use this song to overcome my panic attacks to this day -
It hurts me to my soul. I literally can’t believe this came out 11 years ago. Fuck man
WTH? Why do I have to keep going back and liking these videos? I literally liked every video, AGAIN, 5 days ago and listening to this now and it says I only liked 1 song.
taken away from me is all that I believe love that part
I bought this album back in 2010..... Loved it and still do!
I'm still gutted by the fact that they cancelled all of these huge plans they had in store. :(
I can't even find the comics in any place I search.
The story and the tone alone would've been perfect in either Dark Horse or Image Comics!
I really wish they'd get back together and at least finish all of that up.
They owe it to themselves.
We need closure.
They may not be dead, but are they actually writing?...
Lead singer tore his vocal cords, they kicked him out because he didn't get well in the allotted time, which was 2 months.
Joe Torres go to Rune.co and read the comics there
Nathan Millen Schimmel i went on rune.co and it didn't make me read the comic, it just showed me some images and videos of the band (which can be found on youtube), what should i do?
@@_____________4673 wtf?
i first listened to this song somewhere in 2011-2012 maybe .... always come back every once in a while :)
Sameeee
good music good animation
omg. i just sat and stared at the video for about 30 secs non stop in awe. if never done that to any music before. amazing,
Amazing song. love it
Saw Hail the Villain in Corpus Christi, Texas at the Monster Energy Drink Uproar Festival on September 11, 2010. Hellyeah, Stonesour, Halestorm, A7X, and Disturbed. Awesome day.

2024
2024 lmao
2024
Greatest Music Video ive ever seen...This video is Epicosity Defined...
Anyone from 2023 still listening to this masterpiece?!🔥
I love how you can see those 2 Asian women in one of the booths and that Runaway shows what happened to them. The storylines in these songs are amazing.
I just found this in 2023 and it’s still got so much meaning not that it would lose it over time but still
If you still want good music check out Six side die, the singers new band
+Bathory McClemont I'm so glad he joined/started a new band, the HTV members were so cruel to him after what happened to him
+Shamara van Wesel what happened?
Артур Стадник He had vocal cord cancer (I think that's what it's called) and the band told him that if he didn't recover as soon as possible, he would be thrown out of the band. And they did that. So Six Side Die is pretty much a big "fuck you" to Hail The Vilain. Bastards.

Underrated BAND, but Rip the vocalist he get out of the band
The entire band disolved.*
No the band fired him when he lost his voice, then wanted him back later but he wasn't buy 'n it
@@lindacabrera4672 wow, thats just sad :(
What's great about this song is that it proves you can have a very heavy song and it can still be catchy and feel goodie!
2019
What a crazy journey of a video.. Take back the Fear!
2024?
saw them in quebec city yesterday night a the Dagobert....
very intense group, if they keep rocking like that they will become very popular
Sounds like the beginning of a Spotify ad
Man I loved all of these songs... especially this one...
2018
I LOVE HOW ALL THEIR MUSIC VIDEOS IS GRAPHICALLY BASED. HALF CARTOON. HALF REAL ACTION. ALL BADDASS
So, THAT'S where the album cover picture came from.
The art design in these videos is incredible.
under 1 million and gangnam style has over 1 billion....... what is wrong with the world!!!
On February 8, 2012, Hail the Villain released a post on their Twitter and Facebook pages, stating, "We’re not dead. We’re writing. Stay tuned." Neat.
Well nothing came after that unfortunately
This aged like milk lol
god i really want to go to their concert in colorado springs!!! i really hope i can get some tickets for me and shenan gah! love this band!!!!
One of the best hard rock songs ever made. Too bad their band name was a ripoff of "Protest The Hero".
Definitely, I still want to find out any way to contact the band or even Six Side Die. This band and even Six Side Die have alot of potential, every song by both bands I am a fan of
It is a rip from protest the hero but it fits with the imagery and theme they were going for imo
Still listening at 2024
fuckin boss
2021 going strong!
Убийственне музло Улет
Just spend an hour looking for this song. Finally we're here, nostalgia.
Am I the Only One who Listens to This song like 10 Times A day?? It pretty Much Rocks ! ALL HAIL THE VILLAINS!!
i saw these guys at live x in south carolina back in april they are great!!!
one of the best music videos and an amazing hard rock song, love this combination
Canadian music is terribly underrated and especially this band
I can't stop listening to this.
The band has to realize that the public that drives them, wants their songs to be like this one. Kicks ass. Love it.
i cannot stop listening to this song.
And the bands Canadian, thank god!
I absolutely love this song!!! Plus the animated video adds to it. I've been playing this non-stop. I only heard of this band like a month ago. I don't care where they are from.............this band kicks ass. TAKE IT AWAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
These guys are so sick! Canada has the best bands on earth No question.
miss this band glad i got to see them live two times before they broke up
Most awesome song I heard in a long time. I've met my new favorite band :)
since ive listened to their song runaway... this is now one of my workout track.... beast mode feeling it :D :D
this is awesome best animated video i have ever seen and the best thing i've seen in a while on much music.
10 years wow. Used to listen to this when I was a kid, still love it
can't wait to see u guys again this thursday!
I'm sorry you guys aren't together anymore. This Song Got Me out of my Depression from 2020 🤘🏽🤙🏽🤘🏽
i am listening to this because i will miss Bryan Crouch as the lead singer of Hail The Villain, best of luck to the other members of this band! You all are still amazing
This song still goes hard. Still a bop
This is actually my first time listening to this band. Saw that they are supposed to be playing Rock on the Range this year. Looks like another band on the list of ones I want to see there. Lol.

I had never heard of these guys till the other day when i seen Sevendust and i probably never would have either but i am glad i did they were awesome the front man is one of the craziest guys iv'e ever seen on stage.
@NFXP
Yes. A lot of the inspirational photos that were turned in to Rune were taken from Eastport Blvd and surrounding areas
very awesome song
if only this band had more songs like this.. great song
i love this band's comic theme, Hail The Villain is one of my top 5 favorite.
I saw them yesterday at Rockstar Uproar with A7X! Was pretty good, think I'm gonna download some more.
just came in from shoveling snow & this was playing, pretty good shit!
the best animated video i've seen on youtube
