Now actually, the interesting point is what the title of the song is saying. Mitya *Spoiler* wrongfully is dealt the punishment for parricide. What does it mean, then, to be "Dmitri Karamazov" (no patronymic!), with "the world" as your father? I would say he's standing in judgement in place of those who wrong the world.

@Dragonmasterdrew Yeah, Dunsel is pretty sick but I think any track on Fortress beats any track on Scurrilous anyday. but hey I'm trynna spread word about a new prog metal/djent band they're called Corelia everyone reading this needs to check them out. RUclips 'Corelia Treetops'... shit is on
I'm going to agree on this one. Scurrilous had more complex songs, better structure, and more tasteful selection of electronic music/effects. I still listen to them all, anyways.
@EliteBeast Grindcore, Melodic Death Metal, and Black Metal are all basically Death Metal. Children of Bodom would be just metal, Cannibal Corpse is Death Metal. And I considered Metal a genre so thats what Dream Theater is... not Thrash
Scurrilous is a far more accomplished album than Fortress, the song's on it are far more listenable whilst retaining the technicality which everyone shat themselves over in Fortress. My problem with Fortress is that it is impressive but it's also overproduced and the first time I heard it I just couldn't dig, I still don't really dig it all that much now. Also, lyrically, Rody did a decent job with Scurrilous, particularly Tandem, but whatever. Also, good shout on Corelia :)
@supetroop rody walker is legitamtely like best friends with thomas erak, listen to dirty pillow talk by tfot rody walker is like a "guest singer" or something lol
@seanandahalf Sorry its not on wikipedia, btw i meant progressive hardcore as they are a progressive band with hardcore influences -_-. Also what about black metal? Grindcore? Meldoic Death Metal. Your telling me Children of Bodom is the same as Cannibal Corpse. Right. Dream Theater / Symphony X are metal. What are they? Thrash. Lmao...
@franlespaul scurrilous does not own! how can you say that lol the lyrics are so wack fortress has incredible lyrics, is so much catchier, and at the same time more bad ass metal in general it's downnn fortress is unbeatable
late to the party but i think demo and acuos beats kezia which beats foretress which beats all the other releases (yeah im one of those who cant adjust along with the band) as far as brothers Karamazov thats a beast of a book and i was only able to make it about 2/3rds in. somewhere around the point aleksie alyoshenka whatever u wanna call him was meeting katarinova or whatever her name is lol. damn book takes 300 pages to say very little. anyway thats me attempting to read it like 10 years ago. (cause of this song, no less) should prolly dust it off and start over
All the sub-genres are really gay though. The only sub-genres I use for metal is Thrash, Death, and Metal. Its either Thrash or Death, if it doesn't fit in those then it is just Metal

these guys were 4 when they recorded this
Lmao
Because of this song i discovered Dostoevsky's books. Thank you PTH
THEY'RE PLAYING THIS DURING THEIR ONTARIO TOUR!!! Rocked it at Brickworks last weekend, the place was jumping!
And so it starts from one impurity

My life, enslaved by passions that held away from me.
Who is my mother?
Where is her grace?

Protest has been amazing since the start, so much talent.
Rody was only 17 when this was recorded.
@gocsa It's still being amazing, they were too young and they do this awesome demo, respect.
Decent song, but awesome to see how they've improved
this is by far my fav song by them
I f*cking love that guitar at 0:32->...PTH are Awesome!!
IF I HAD ONE LOVE IN THIS WORLLLDDD
The Brothers Karamazov deserves careers of music upon it. An opera wouldn't be enough. Maybe a Ring Cycle version would be decent Sparknotes.
This voice of kid singing this amazing and powerful lyrics, that bass, it's fucking sick that they made this at 13-14 years old.
They made this when they were my age, and where do I stand?
Damnit, I need to practise my instrument more.
it's been 12 years, bet you're a beast now!
this is great
This shit is legendary.
I wish they wrote an entire album on the brothers karamazov.
so damn right.
Why argue over what Protest album is better? They are all amazing in thier own right and it is just personal preference.
All Hail West Texas
I'm not talking about now, I'm talking about this album...
Now actually, the interesting point is what the title of the song is saying. Mitya *Spoiler* wrongfully is dealt the punishment for parricide.

Or maybe it's some teenagers who didn't read/get the book.:)
agreed.
They already came out with Volition and sorry to say bud but that is fantastic
they mustve really liked PROPAGANDHI when they started
Because Arif is THE man.

Yeah, Dunsel is pretty sick but I think any track on Fortress beats any track on Scurrilous anyday. but hey I'm trynna spread word about a new prog metal/djent band they're called Corelia everyone reading this needs to check them out. RUclips 'Corelia Treetops'... shit is on
@iSCREEMx I love you, it is metal, not mathcore or post hardcore or whatever other shit they have came up with
They were 13 when they recorded this.
I'm going to agree on this one. Scurrilous had more complex songs, better structure, and more tasteful selection of electronic music/effects.
I still listen to them all, anyways.
Does anybody know where I can get this album or if its available on Itunes???
@EliteBeast

@ALCZender more like 16, but still amazing.
@supetroop rody walker is legitamtely like best friends with thomas erak, listen to dirty pillow talk by tfot rody walker is like a "guest singer" or something lol
Is that rody? OMFG he sounds like a kid!
@seanandahalf
Sorry its not on wikipedia, btw i meant progressive hardcore as they are a progressive band with hardcore influences -_-.

@Mscanman Disagree. Fortress lacked a lot in emotional power. I prefer Kezia for that reason.
@franlespaul scurrilous does not own! how can you say that lol the lyrics are so wack fortress has incredible lyrics, is so much catchier, and at the same time more bad ass metal in general it's downnn fortress is unbeatable

its a fukall song and can't compare to Mitya's left toe nail! It's got no semblance to his character in any way at all!!
sorry elitist, but who defines these sub genres? wikipedia?
dude its hardcore that has progressive elements.
@supetroop which certainly isn't a bad thing
Anybody know who's singing at the end there?
rethink
@disnig69 corelia is fuckin badass
They are definitely not "Progressive Hardcore" seeing as that isn't a genre. They would be metal.
LOL WTF
There not metal. There core. Progressive hardcore.
All the sub-genres are really gay though. The only sub-genres I use for metal is Thrash, Death, and Metal. Its either Thrash or Death, if it doesn't fit in those then it is just Metal
i luv rody's voice but that doesn't sound like rody... its too whiney...
This is horrible
