"SEND MY BODY TO ARBY'S HUMAN FLESH SLIDER COMBO" Chat Pile is like if there was a band, and all their songs are as disturbing as Korn's Daddy. And its awesome.
No worries any longer man...Last year they did the Roadburn Festival in Holland, followed by a festival in Denmark, a tour of Great Britain with two sold out shows in London, a festival in Bristol and shows in Manchester and Glasgow. Then they came Stateside and did an East Coast tour and ended with a West Coast tour...I'm so happy for them and, fortunately, so is most who listen and follow them.
An amazing album, easily my album of the year for '22. My heart genuinely goes out to everyone else who fell in love with this album/band due to being able to relate to a lot of the lyrical themes.
I'm glad you mentioned this. I cited Genius Lyrics as a whole, but didn't think to for the individual usernames. I'll update credits in the description and keep that in mind for future videos.
@@BrentLinaweaver hey it’s no problem! that comment came off as sarcastic but i was being real i think it’s cool as fuck that anything i wrote was cited. this was a great video man keep it up.
What I appreciate the most of CP is the social commentary, their anonymity screams desensitization of our American headlines whilst bringing a familiar rhythm ala Godflesh meets Amrep label alums. All the while delivering an importance of today’s dire vision akin to Bukowski, Burroughs and a heavy dose of Cronenberg.
I know I might be completely off the mark here, but I personally interpret the ‘purple man’ in Grimace Smoking Weed as being a personification of the protagonist’s suicidal ideation. Especially, when you consider the change in colouration of a persons skin when they lose oxygen due to asphyxiation (a process called cyanosis). Also, the vocalist repeats the line “I’m purple man too”. I know this probably isn’t the intended meaning, but it’s just what came to mind for me when I listened to the song the first few times.
Awesome video and badass album. Just saw them live in SF. If anyone gets the chance to see them live, do it. They sound amazing and are super down to earth.
Watching this because I’ve been digging the new Chat Pile stuff (like self-titled era Daughters but a little heavier and without a horrifically vile man as their vocalist), subscribed because I peeked your best of 2024 playlist and saw ERRA in there so I know you know ball lol
@@TheRooster04 I forgot those best of playlists are public 😅 I make them for myself to remember fav releases from a given year. Thanks for reminding me to update it as well! haha
It's such a good LP. Really harrowing, brutal and creatively unique. I remember hearing 'Remove Your Skin Please, and was immediately hooked. Really good analysis dude. Have a sub.
Chat Pile takes the place in a wonderful lineage of powerful and deeply affecting dark albums/songs. A lineage that includes Joy Division - Closer, Swans - Cop, The Cure - Pornography, there’s more but that’s what immediately came to mind.
Wow man thank you for that! I am from Germany and often can’t directly understand lyrics as they fall but you gave me a whole deeper view on the album. You put real work in in deciphering the album. Instant sub
as a person whose life has gone to shit and is disabled from CPTSD and has no prospects... feel like chat pile speaks for me when no one else does. i'm hurt by the evil of the world. it makes me feel better that i'm not alone in recognizing how painful it is to be alive now in a world that is coming to a terrible place.
One of my friends showed me Pamela in school and I didn’t think anything of Chat Pile, I listened to Slaughterhouse after but I never really listened to them fully. I didnt think someone would go in depth of Chat Pile.
Great video and thank you for reviewing this Album. I recently discovered it and consider it quite the gem. The song "I Don't Care If I Burn" reminds me of the Throbbing Gristle song "Slug Bait" about a break in and murder of a family. Very Chilling.
Thankfully, and lucky for all of us, Chat Pile has seen such amazing success and support that they've been able to go on tour several times. I got to see them in SF at the Great American Music Hall, and they were brilliant.
chat piles instrumental work has quickly become one of my favorites ever. The Mask specifically will never fail to get me pumped out of my fucking mind, the opening riff is so damn good.
I hope you do one of these videos for Cool World. I feel like there are aspects of the record that I'm missing. It doesn't inherently feel as dark and gritty (both lyrically and tonally) as God's Country.
@@jjerkamillo I can't decide what album I want to do next! Plus I've been lazy haha I'm liking Cool World so far. Not as much as God's Country, but we'll see in time. The only song I'm not really into is Camcorder. The rest have some great hooks and heavy moments \m/
@BrentLinaweaver Cool World is good, but it kind of lacks some of the punch that makes God's Country unforgettable. Kind of a similar 2 album arc to that of Acid Bath's.
I love the song where they ask why do people have to live on the street. And it got me thinking. Yeah, empty buildings all over the place yet no one can find a place to live.
Recently there have been groups of graffiti artists that are cooperating to tag buildings like that in cities. These buildings that rich people own but don't live in. Just use it like an asset.
@@BrentLinaweaver it’s amazing they’re like parkour artists or do they get into the building? do they climb the side of the building ?it’s fascinating. You don’t have to answer me lol.
Hearing the ending of Grimace felt like hearing the ending of Daddy by Korn for the first time. Corpse paint, spikes and edgy imagery doesn’t make scary music. *This* does.
I found this album by looking up "eerie songs" and the Grimace song was mentioned in a reddit thread. I don't know what i was expecting but it certainly wasn't all of that. The whole album made me feel uneasy but honestly I love it
I'm gonna comment to bump and help that engagement here. Thank you YT for putting this in my feed. this is not my most listened to album of '22 but by far the most emotional to me. I cannot stress to people who I enjoy really getting into why music makes us feel about this one in particular. 10/10 album, excellent video too!
as a diehard fan of godflesh and inhabitant of a urban landscape of a big third world country, chat pile couldn't peak more interest in me. god's country resounds in my head a quote from godspeed you! black emperor "america is a third world country" (blase bailey finnegan III)
Such an articulate and concise summary for why the album is so groundbreaking. I'll be sending this as a prep video when I recommend the album to people, since it does such a good job of providing context (and sufficient warning). Big well done mate!
What makes Chat Pile work for me is that the lead singer doesn’t really use any cool techniques or have some crazy vocal fry. It’s just a guy. Screaming. Snapping. Absolutely perfect for the subject matters this album goes through.
Chat Pile *commentary on America's obsession with sugar and war. A modern day 'snuff opera' complete with teeth whitening and tax service commercials. I just bought 4 new wild Chat Pile t-shirts .. the art direction is on point! COOL WORLD is spewing out into the streets and it just makes sense
I absolutely LOVE this video but I do need to make one correction Brent...Luther Manhole is the guitarist and Stin is the bass player, not the other way around.
This album is one of the few that has gotten a genuine emotional reaction out of me. As it played, I just stared at the cover and found myself getting closer and closer to an anxiety attack. That picture is so ugly and just gets uglier the longer you look at it. I started looking around my own town and noticing just ugly it is as well.
Why listen to such a disturbing album? Cause it's fun, makes my brain and soul tingles That weirdly good sensation nu/sludge metal from 90's had in very specific tracks, Chat Pile have that in almost all of their music
1:57 idk if I’ve ever heard someone do a worse job at interpreting lyrics lol. Slaughterhouse is quite literally about the horrors of the industrial meat industry. Yes the song is about wage slavery, but it’s primarily about the disgusting treatment of life that is required by Americans’ addiction to meat
I kind of agree with this comment AND with the video, both. I’ll add that it could also be somewhat inspired by a 2014 workplace murder at a meat-packing plant in Moore, OK (near the band’s home).
@@trustandbleed420 Agreed. The beauty of art is how it can be interpreted in so many ways. Some artists know exactly what their work is about, others leave it to interpretation. In my videos, I have my own extrapolations as well as a compilation of researched band interviews, reviews, articles, blogs, online posts, etc. I didn't know that about the 2014 workplace murder! Definitely could make a case for that as well.
I loooooove this album & band. Funny thing is their sound is a hodge podge homage basically to 90’s bands such as The Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Big Black, Killing Joke, Unsane, Korn, Slint & Godflesh not truly a unique sound nor remotely original BUT it’s as good if not better than their peers. My fav band right now are Chat Pile. I wish they weren’t so in the public now doing shit like typical late 80’s early 90’s videos, their own beer. Cheesy shit that takes away from the mystery of the band. Musically they’re amazing. Visually they come off as a joke imo. Oh well they’re still great.
Everybody that i've showed this band hate it and think the music is pretentious, they just don't get anything that is more unique and that requires some critical thinking
Hard disagree. But I'm a fan of drone and noise already. I think it's very raw and direct, though I'll admit it took a hot minute and a few re-listens to really grow on me.
Clearly one of the most important bands and album right now
"SEND MY BODY TO ARBY'S
HUMAN FLESH SLIDER COMBO"
Chat Pile is like if there was a band, and all their songs are as disturbing as Korn's Daddy. And its awesome.
It's like if Big Black covered "Daddy",Korn covered all of "Atomizer","Songs About Fucking" & Justin Broadrick played guitar on all of it
The fact that they struggle to get booked in their OWN city shows how little the people they are calling out want to hear the truth 😤
They found their home to play at here in Oklahoma City. It's a venue called The Sanctuary.
No worries any longer man...Last year they did the Roadburn Festival in Holland, followed by a festival in Denmark, a tour of Great Britain with two sold out shows in London, a festival in Bristol and shows in Manchester and Glasgow. Then they came Stateside and did an East Coast tour and ended with a West Coast tour...I'm so happy for them and, fortunately, so is most who listen and follow them.
This is practically a concept album for me. The decay of Americana, rising mental health crises - it's got an awesome message.
1:11 lmao they're touring like crazy now. So cool to see how well they're doing now as a band compared to when this video came out.
An amazing album, easily my album of the year for '22.
My heart genuinely goes out to everyone else who fell in love with this album/band due to being able to relate to a lot of the lyrical themes.
They captured a very palpable moment in our country's culture, and just sum up the times in a sonic way. Excited to see what they evolve into.
As a foreigner living in the Midwest, I'm completely obsessed with this album
8:59 feels good to be quoted verbatim from a genius annotation in a chat pile analysis video 💪
I'm glad you mentioned this. I cited Genius Lyrics as a whole, but didn't think to for the individual usernames. I'll update credits in the description and keep that in mind for future videos.
@@BrentLinaweaver hey it’s no problem! that comment came off as sarcastic but i was being real i think it’s cool as fuck that anything i wrote was cited. this was a great video man keep it up.
This video is probably my favorite breakdown of this album i've seen anywhere on the internet. Absolutely wonderful work

All the while delivering an importance of today’s dire vision akin to Bukowski, Burroughs and a heavy dose of Cronenberg.
Please, please do not abbreviate Chat Pile
@@neolbioldey duly noted.
I think Chat Pile has taken over the mantle from Daughters as the new best noise/industrial rock band on the scene
100% agreed
I know I might be completely off the mark here, but I personally interpret the ‘purple man’ in Grimace Smoking Weed as being a personification of the protagonist’s suicidal ideation. Especially, when you consider the change in colouration of a persons skin when they lose oxygen due to asphyxiation (a process called cyanosis). Also, the vocalist repeats the line “I’m purple man too”. I know this probably isn’t the intended meaning, but it’s just what came to mind for me when I listened to the song the first few times.
I totally get that. Makes sense to me
@@BrentLinaweaver Amazing video btw, subscribed!
The line "I don't want to live anymore. Do you? Do you?" is pretty on the nose
Look up purple heroin www.phsd.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/CDS_Drug_Alert_Carfentanil-wih-Heroin_Mar_29_2018.pdf
Also saying how he wants to live in their skin, that makes sense to me. Didn’t even think about it that way
Awesome video and badass album. Just saw them live in SF. If anyone gets the chance to see them live, do it. They sound amazing and are super down to earth.

Great analysis. Truly one of the most powerful, disturbing, and crushing albums of the last decade.
It's such a good LP. Really harrowing, brutal and creatively unique. I remember hearing 'Remove Your Skin Please, and was immediately hooked. Really good analysis dude. Have a sub.
Ive waited for so long to see a reviewer actually go into the meanings of the album ❤
This was an awesome video. I’ve been obsessed with this album recently, it hits me in a very weird way that I can’t really describe.
Awesome video dude, This LP was killer. Some seriously haunting songs, Grimace especially.
incredible breakdown of perhaps the most important music discovery ive made this year. thank you for the quality deep dive.
Chat Pile takes the place in a wonderful lineage of powerful and deeply affecting dark albums/songs. A lineage that includes Joy Division - Closer, Swans - Cop, The Cure - Pornography, there’s more but that’s what immediately came to mind.
“Grimace_smoking_weed.jpeg” is one of the few songs that manages to make me both laugh and be truly disturbed at the same time
Wow man thank you for that! I am from Germany and often can’t directly understand lyrics as they fall but you gave me a whole deeper view on the album. You put real work in in deciphering the album. Instant sub

This is why RUclips is good. One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on here, well done
this rules man, great job
as a person whose life has gone to shit and is disabled from CPTSD and has no prospects... feel like chat pile speaks for me when no one else does. i'm hurt by the evil of the world. it makes me feel better that i'm not alone in recognizing how painful it is to be alive now in a world that is coming to a terrible place.
One of my friends showed me Pamela in school and I didn’t think anything of Chat Pile, I listened to Slaughterhouse after but I never really listened to them fully. I didnt think someone would go in depth of Chat Pile.
Amazing band. Best sludge band in recent memory.
I saw them live a few days ago they were amazing
Same! I finally got to see them recently in Baltimore. They killed it
Great video and thank you for reviewing this Album. I recently discovered it and consider it quite the gem. The song "I Don't Care If I Burn" reminds me of the Throbbing Gristle song "Slug Bait" about a break in and murder of a family. Very Chilling.
This was such a good analysis. Enjoyed your insight on what is probably a new favorite album of mine

For me, similar to Daughters, its comforting to hear someone else sees the same shit I do when I look at this country.
Yes! I thought the same regarding Daughters.
I love the song where they ask why do people have to live on the street. And it got me thinking. Yeah, empty buildings all over the place yet no one can find a place to live.

@@leodawn5913 I'm not 100% sure. I've read some comments that theorize they made some kind of DIY rappel system lol
Hearing the ending of Grimace felt like hearing the ending of Daddy by Korn for the first time. Corpse paint, spikes and edgy imagery doesn’t make scary music. *This* does.
Or something as early as The End By The Doors
great video!!!!! i love this band

Awesome break down of the album, i really enjoyed watching this.
Incredible review
both this album and this video deserve way more attention
The 2nd half of Grimace reminds me so much of Pig Destroyer's slower stuff musically.

This was really well done. Great content. Unbelievable album/group.
This band makes Slaughter to Prevail look and sound like ABBA
Love this album and am stoked for their next one. Thanks for the great analysis!
Thank you for suming up what I couldn't put into words..
this is a damn good video
awesome, succinct and heartwrenching, thank you!
Fantastic video about a fantastic band. Really well sourced, too. You've earned a new subscriber!
As much as I adore this album, its so impactful you need to be careful how much you listen to it
Hell yeah the first sec of this video I can tell you’ve done it just right thanks good job liked and subbed
Seeing them on Thursday. SO excited
I just saw them in Baltimore and it was crazy fun!
@BrentLinaweaver That's awesome!!! I'm seeing them in Madison WI. Thanks for an awesome video! I've been a fan for 2 years.
great album great video

Awesome video. Very informational
