The whole song is a hardcore anthem!!! Maybe it’s where I’m from I don’t know, but STRIFE is sickenly underrated!!! Just fast and, two step, and chug all perfect amounts and not overdone. For a hardcore band they put so much thought and structure into their songs. Not just ad a two step riff because it needs a two step part but the actual riff itself is great catchy, memorable, well written! I seriously feel like I don’t hear enough about them and the impact they had in the late 90’s through the 2,000’s!! Tell me if I’m way off here or if anyone else agrees. My highschool years were me and my buddies cruising around in my 89 Cadillac cranking hardcore. And when we got near sidewalks where people were hanging out talking and there were hot girls or other punks this song immediately got played. Loud!!! It was like throwing up a flag saying hey this is us and if you are our people you respond back LOL HAHAHAHAHA! So we always were able to find the other hardcore kids through this amazing anthem of a song and it usually led to more people piling in the Cadillac and heading to a local skate spot or spots for the rest of the day and usually ending up at an all ages show that night hahaha! Hardcore shaped me into the man I am today. Kept me grounded and gave me morals and friends that would last a lifetime!! Sorry for the long comment but it all came rushing back to me!!!
These guys were on to some amazing musical things in the span of 18 months or so; incredible, and lasting! 2 defining records for heavy music in the 90s and beyond (yes!).
Definitely not metalcore!! Straight up fast hardcore, with songs about hardcore and this timeless brotherhood/sisterhood we were lucky enough to find our way into. #WeAreHardcore #Brotherhood #Sisterhood #STRIFE #Blistered #illClimbToTheTruth
This video used to rotate on Much Music's LOUD Friday night program with George Strombo. Used to tape the videos on VHS so I could listen to the songs as I didn't have high-speed internet where I lived and downloading songs from LimeWire or Kazaa was a nightmare.
Love Strife... will always be one of my favourite hardcore bands, who gives a fuck if they're not all edge anymore, they made some brutal music that will smash the crap outta most bands these days!
Truly more hardcore than most of what's around today. Also watched Godmoney for the first time last night. If you haven't seen it, it has the lead singer as the protaganist.
@@lumpenproletarier9584 The thing is I bet fans from the 80s scene talked shit about bands like Strife in the 90s. And I already see comments from people talking about "the old days" of like 2012 lol
Did someone forget to tell the world about Strife? what the hell, time to take it back to the old school! Cull the New Metal choking out the scene that these guys made happen.
I don't care what lifestyle you lead...you clicked here to watch a Strife video. You get a "thumbs up" for the day!!!
Fuck ya!
Oki! But who is the beardless guy? That's my smile for da day! Love da old and new!
🤙🏻
🤘🏻🤜🏻
The best thing about straight edge it makes beer taste even better. God damn i miss those shows
AT 45 I STILL LISTEN TO THIS BAND.... GREAT BAND
idgaf what anyone says, this is by far one of THE best breakdowns in all of hardcore music history

@@xeverettx2564 good yes, best breakdown no way.... love this band tho
the lift buildup is so good as well
@@143jcm lift build up??? Wtf is that.
@@timsunderland5153 you don't know what build-up means?
Still sounds good over 25 years later.
Strife is still the sound of true hc in 2019.
Still true in 2020!
2020
still true in 2021
I'm a bigger fan of Sick of it All but strife is badass indeed
Still true in almost 2022
Some songs just say all the right things
This song is so Fckin good. Classic !
This is the absolute most hardcore classic video you Never saw.. eat your hearts out!!
Still watching...I'm 4o this year.
This song needs at least 5 million views.
that snare tho.
I ❤this band
To me, the greatest 90s hc band and I come from Hatebreed land here in CT.
My first intro to hardcore when I was 16...real shit right here 🔥
I saw these guys live twice….they don’t mess around
legends! miss those good old days😥😥
Top 3 breakdown of all time
yes..sir
So what are your other top 2?
“Hip to be Square” by Huey Lewis and the News and “Sussudio” by Phil Collins
I agree. There's prob a Hatebreed breakdown in the top 3 as well imo
Agreed.🤘🏻
Good shit from my youth! Still holds up 20 years later! Hard-core lives!
This was the song/ band that got me into hardcore & metal.
That Stomp.
1:33 is still the heaviest breakdown I ever heard.
Never fails to give me shivers
Fuck yes, brother man.
These guys were on to some amazing musical things in the span of 18 months or so; incredible, and lasting! 2 defining records for heavy music in the 90s and beyond (yes!).
Not edge but I salute Strife for making amazing hardcore. Definitely top 10 metallic hardcore bands from the 90s
Metalcore
@@RibeiroGames12 hardcore.

Beatdown Hardcore
"TO THE TRUTH" rings then, still rings now......"MY FIGHT IS TRUTH"!
That guitar spin right before the BREAKDOWN❤
It was a bass

This is hardcore!!!
It's an album older than my age group, and I knew this song was insane the moment I first heard it.
The perfect hardcore sound imo. That guitar tone and sic riffage🔥
1997 ? damn ... this is so f***ing great !!
saw them in Miami Florida . for the " One truth " tour . was amazing
This shit still hits sooooo damn hard. God these guys were good. So much fun live too.
GOOD SSHIT since 97.
Love Strife... will always be one of my favourite hardcore bands, who gives a fuck if they're not all edge anymore, they made some brutal music that will smash the crap outta most bands these days!
Still bangin this LOUD AF 2022!!!!!
Noch immer der absolute Hammer!!!
First heard on cinema beer nuts.what a banger!
This is hardcore!!! Hardcore until the end. Best wishes, from Brazil.
Love those no double bass breakdowns. Bring that back
Truly more hardcore than most of what's around today.
Also watched Godmoney for the first time last night. If you haven't seen it, it has the lead singer as the protaganist.
Seeing them on the Persistence tour with Suicidal & Terror! Can't wait!!
They just wrapped up recording with Igor Cavalera behind the kit, now tracking back in LA, said to be of In This Defiance kind of sound. I'm happy.
2020 the Best Metalcore 23 years👊👊👊🔥🔥🔥🔥
Been watching this video on and off for years. When I need reminding of how bands once were
Back in the 90's. Miss it so much!!
Listening to Strife with a Meshuggah ad to the right. VEVO, YOU'RE FINALLY DOING IT RIGHT.
cant believe it says 1997, this hits harder than most of today posi core
Me too, I though I picked up In this Defiance in '96.
@@rockforlight In This Defiance released in '97
cant wait to see these guys at Rockfest in 3 weeks, i listened to these guy so much in high school!
Absolute Legendary piece of work!!! Not much else needed to be said.
I love open hihats so much I refuse to play anything else
All these young "hardcore" kids should watch this video as a prerequisite for listening to any modern day hardcore band.
agree haha so there will be no annoying debate between millenial snob hardcore kids haha love this comment

@@konsolidated - ah so you’re a boomer too, good to know
Progression is thier Reign in Blood
Strife is a good band period. Like others have alluded to, lots of Straight Edge kids policing the shows and too much politics, but good music.still.
AYAYAYAYYYY SALUDES DESDE COLOMBIA ¡¡¡¡
Saludos
Those snare
Saw these guys in Rhode Island amazing!
Look into the skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see the ashes falling!!!!!!!!!!!
Hardest shit i've ever moshed to. This track kills everything!

Esas son bandas del metalcore viejo
Did someone forget to tell the world about Strife? what the hell, time to take it back to the old school! Cull the New Metal choking out the scene that these guys made happen.
Early 2000's i start listening Strife and making a new band with my highschool friends, This song is 1st influence for me to make a music.
Bruh! Seen them few years ago on Anarchy Tour with Madball and Lionheart or something like that. It was fu**in awsome! Pure dedication on stage.
Good ol days
Still love this!
such energy kudos to this
thats good stuff
Hard hitting shit right here man.
The production of this album …🔥🔥Major props to Slayer for their influence to the scene.
This is dope. So good for its time.
Growing up whit this 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
I remember buying the cinema beer nuts VHS in maybe ‘97 or ‘98 to see shit like assorted jelly beans and being fuckin blown away by this song/video.
