This was a gem of an album when it came out in 2006. Bought it on my way to Disneyland to meet my future girlfriend. Who would become my future ex. Bittersweet memories, but not enough to keep me from listening to it.
52 year old Metal head here. My generation (X) has lived through every era of metal. The drumming throughout this album "III: In the Eyes of Fire" is an artistic masterpiece of the Heavy Metal music genre. This album is maturing like a fine wine throughout the years and I believe will be considered one the greatest ever.
@@PuertoRicanGrinderX weird. the stings of conscience is widely known and recognized as one of the first metalcore records. 2001. Unearth alongside Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall (aaand literally that whole scene down there) have been initiators for that metalcore sound back then (and not what it is today. Metalcore always been a mix of classic heavy metal riffing, thrash and hardcore).
@@feroxk.9266 Metalcore came about in the late 80s as well as the term "metalcore" That info somehow got lost though? The term then got hijacked in the 2000s to describe In Flames clones or really any melodic metal that had breakdowns as opposed to actual extreme metal/hardcore fusions I'd argue even Unearth were pretty far removed from hardcore, they just retained aspects of early metalcore but within the framework of thrash/melodeath oriented metal really Nothing wrong with that but with a name like "metalcore" you'd think there would be audible hardcore punk somewhere in the sound but there isn't with what most people associate the term metalcore with
Love these guys, so thrashy and groovy, hailing the old guard of real metal and then laced with that Boston Beatdown/Hardcore flair! You can see two steppers in the middle of the circle pit, pure awesomeness
I know for the longest time the entire world called these dudes Metalcore, but as far as I've ever heard out of these dudes, this is at worst Crossover Thrash, if not just straight up Thrash Metal. Fucking love these dudes. Wish they'd come back.
The fact you have a hard time believing people dance at unearth shows is really a testament to how far this bands reach has gotten. They played the original hellfest in america before some dumb shit happened and it got cancelled
Divine intoxication spills out the bores A self diluting fix that craves all the more Destructive seasoned vet, full glass of sting A bittersweet triumph that weighs in each day Obsession-my falsest friend Moderation-a fantasy that I cant win Devastation-a hardship loss Demanding-the pain of wasted years Lift me up, Tear me down, Will I last through this glorious nightmare Collapse all that sacred, prey on the weak Slow painful suicide that steals from each man Hells fire soon returns to rape the well Prolific doom machine that hears our words I'm fighting the will to live, With countless persuasions I'm fighting the will to live, The endless temptations, Its lifeless grip, That haunts us all Pulling from every direction, Its lifeless grip graps hold Yearning is now my dissension, Its lifeless grip graps hold Lift me up, Tear me down, Will I last through this glorious nightmare
@Vengeance759 Yes dude. He did that live at the show in Memphis, SO SICK. Drank a beer bong while playing, too lol. Walked off stage during the solo over to the merch stands and stuff haha.
MetalManiac1134 is right. It was at the New England Metal and Hardcore Fest 2007. They shot the METAL BLADE 25TH ANNIVERSARY DVD the second day of the festival which featured Metal Blade artists only.
the thing i liked about it is that there was no singing/ soft-parts in it. that stuff isn't bad but it's a lot better when you don't have it at all. The Oncoming Storm still has the best breakdowns overall though, although this song and Giles i think have the best breakdowns ever
grew up with buz,skateboarding and school. his band before this kicked just as much ass. stoked on how good hes doing,still see him around here when hes home from touring.good to talk and see how things are going
omg!! unearth is amazing, just saw them last week with darkest hour, august burns red, and suicide silence. best show iv ever been too!! except for in flames. lol

Awesome dude!
I guess

III: In the eyes of fire is such a greeeeat album, soo addictive
It doesn't matter what genre it is... As long as it sounds crazy like this one... Love it, absolutely love it
Damn I love that break down
@bakerXderek damn, it’s great to see you here man.
@@__________5981
brings back so many good memories
By far one of the best Metal bands ever!
One of the best metal songs of all time.
unearth is metalcore at its finest.
The band who invented metalcore is the most underrated ever.. how sad
metalcore as a genre predates this band by a decade

Clearly this dude never heard of bands by the name of crestfallen or as the sun sets....
Ikr? Saw them in concert 2 years ago, on a Wednesday. There were about 30 people there... Sad.
i saw this on HBB last saturday, it was the second or third video. Ken susi AND Buzz are my two favorite guitarists!!!!! I LOVE UNEARTH!!
Ken is a monster on the guitar 🤘🔥
Love these guys, so thrashy and groovy, hailing the old guard of real metal and then laced with that Boston Beatdown/Hardcore flair! You can see two steppers in the middle of the circle pit, pure awesomeness
2:31 good riff, 2:21 good riff, 3:24 good build up
this song is pure inspiration and hope and METAL

theyre like a lamb of god but more technical/ core.... LOVE IT!!! and is the crowd hardcore dancing?? unbelievable
The fact you have a hard time believing people dance at unearth shows is really a testament to how far this bands reach has gotten. They played the original hellfest in america before some dumb shit happened and it got cancelled
I saw them open for Slayer back in 06 in D.C This was a good album, so I was pumped they were opening. Fun show
Still listening in 2018
Aeon Calcos nah 2019
Saw them on the oncoming storm tour twice and once on this album tour and they sounded awesome live. Solid band fa sho👌
Love everything about this track.
Still listening to this banger in 2022 🤘🤘
Really missing the pre 2010 life listening to this song.... too much shit going on now
Unearth in Raleigh, NC @ The Lincoln Theater on 9/29 was great. Was packed !!! Killer time had by all.
This is what metal is all about. Aggression, power and mayhem!!
Dimebag is the first person I saw do that, shit, almost 20 years ago now (about 1990). Still is awesome when someone busts it out. :)
I like the vocals, they're original. You know its Unearth when you hear them.
saw this live in Taipei this week, TOTAL BADASSERY!
Unearth onee of the best metal band out thereee!! Passion Energy powerfull guitars all I need!!!!!!!!!
Divine intoxication spills out the bores
A self diluting fix that craves all the more
Destructive seasoned vet, full glass of sting
A bittersweet triumph that weighs in each day
Obsession-my falsest friend
Moderation-a fantasy that I cant win
Devastation-a hardship loss
Demanding-the pain of wasted years
Lift me up,
Tear me down,
Will I last through this glorious nightmare
Collapse all that sacred, prey on the weak
Slow painful suicide that steals from each man
Hells fire soon returns to rape the well
Prolific doom machine that hears our words
I'm fighting the will to live,
With countless persuasions
I'm fighting the will to live,
The endless temptations,
Its lifeless grip,
That haunts us all
Pulling from every direction,
Its lifeless grip graps hold
Yearning is now my dissension,
Its lifeless grip graps hold
Lift me up,
Tear me down,
Will I last through this glorious nightmare
I saw them last month and it was one of the best shows i've ever seen.
I'm a new fan of Unearth, and whatever you wanna call it, it's Metal. I like the direction this band's going in. Rock-On!
Unearth is awesome! I don't understand why people are recently calling metalcore not metal but..
Head Bangers Ball....great memories! #90sbaby. Back when life was simple...
hell yeah, i waited to watch this on HBB last saturday.
@Vengeance759 Yes dude. He did that live at the show in Memphis, SO SICK. Drank a beer bong while playing, too lol. Walked off stage during the solo over to the merch stands and stuff haha.
this is why In the Eyes of Fire is their best record! UNEARTH FUCKIN RULES!!!!
Still slaps in 21’ 🤘😈🤘
love these guys cuz they have thier own sound and style AWSOMEEEEE
The songs Stings of Conscience and One Step Away are killer
this band is amazing. Unearth are the undisputed kings of the breakdown.
I love their sweeps!
totally agree. entire cds full of awesome
Today still banger!!!!

I hope 5hey come to Kentucky...
Love the way this album was mixed/produced. Sounds so fucking good
Kickass song, I noticed the guitarist swung his guitar around his neck like 4 times. Amazing Band/Song.
Definatly Metal. Death Metal is a subgenre, and even if you had asked for a subgenre, it would probably be more like Metalcore.
lift me up, tear me down 2020
This song makes u feel old remember seeing them in 05 time flys
the vocals are brutal
Yeah there are still great bands and singers ... and I hope they don't dissapear trough time.
Metal is the Law!! (kai hansen)
saw unearth and norma jean and my face literally melted off twice! i know thats a physical impossibility but it happened.
straight up metal that's what they sound like to me
this one and Giles are top notch kick ass tunes
i love the riff at 1:46
pure awesomeness
AWESOME
This is the most brutal metalcore band.
Still hurting my neck in 2020 from this fucking song
Incoming neck injury from this song.
+Tom D (Mosfet) Amen to that. I couldn't turn my head the day after hearing this for the first time.
one of the best bands ive ever seen ^^
2008 in hungary at budapest at A38.. aaawhh.. Unearth was FUCKIN' HEAVY!
anyway... Unearth & LoG are the bests!!!
yes
Unearth is pure Metal. end of discussion.
90% of all their songs are top notch kick ass
these guys put on a damn good show.
Man, this shit still rips as hard as it did back in 06. Time flies
1:22 this guitar stunt by ken susi is sooooo amazing!=)
First 2 albums were glorious
I always forget how fucking good this album is.. CHRIST
This is sick!
It's METAL, why isn't that enough for some people?
Band is so good
MetalCore... yeahh!1
ABSOLUTLY PERFECT
1:21 LOOOOL
Probably The Best Metalcore band ever formed!
True Metalcore
these guys are gonna b pretty big someday
there are a lot of other core bands with good breakdowns. All Shall Perish being one of the masters of this
Underrated band. 100%
i fux with this !!!!! damn t hat ending was brutal
@KH13JPLAZMA Yes, they were hardcore dancing... One of Unearth's influences is hardcore...
@ChildrenofSodom of course we should.
Any1 still listening in 2017?
Brodie Robson reporting in sir
Brodie Robson 7/14/2018 and Unearth is still fucking rad
Try 2019
@jamarcwv11 Very true, which is why I like them.
uhh just for reference they havent been around for 20-odd years. band was originally formed in 1998
they throw a guitar or a bass to the audience?!?! that would be so hard to fight to catch that, but would be the most amazing thing ever if you got it
grew up with buz,skateboarding and school.
his band before this kicked just as much ass.
stoked on how good hes doing,still see him around here when hes home from touring.good to talk and see how things are going
that is at the palladium in MA... was there EPIC
That tone!!!!
man unerth are the only core band whos brakdowns arent insanely boring.
Dear fucking Lord they were amazing live.
@BBOZ83 yes exactly, thats why unearth is more technical/melodic/hardcore
Sweet
let the record reflect that i fucking love the Thin Lizzy-ish riff at 1:41
omg!! unearth is amazing, just saw them last week with darkest hour, august burns red, and suicide silence. best show iv ever been too!! except for in flames. lol
Christ, I miss 2008. RIP
School ❤
my gosh i dont even like this music but 1:22 just made me poo my pants, that spin was insane!!1
