Himsa

Alright kids, it's Himsa today, the single greatest metalcore band ever to exist, now and for all time, the band that defined the style, the mark against which all other punks who call themselves metalcore are to be measured.  Now, different people use the term "metalcore" to refer to different things.  I'm gonna tell you what I call metalcore, then you can think what you want.  For me, metalcore is (besides the greatest music ever created) anything that is thrash instrumentation with hardcore vocals.  There are other great metalcore bands, bands that I love to listen to, at least a couple of which I will post here in the future, and I am thankful for them, since Himsa called it quits after three phenomenal albums while they were still THE BEST EVER.  Also, some of you will not get this at first, but I want you to hang in there until about 1:49, when the true genius of Himsa will begin to shine through to you; it is the anthemic, empowering nature of their music that really causes them to stand above the rest.  Also, the video's just fun.  Here's how it's done - it's Big Timber - CRANK IT!
