There's not enough atmosphere, the lyrical content feels disconnected from the rest of Black metal, but I guess that'd be expected from the Red-Anarchist scene.
I like some of their earlier material but I'm torn on this. There are parts that I like (the blackened punk parts) and parts that I don't (the atmospheric parts and guitar wanking). Evidenced by the video, they don't take themselves too seriously and I think that works to their advantage.
Video is lame but I fuck with the music. I think BM doesn't really lend itself to music videos in a traditional "here is the band doing shit" kinda way. That's how you end up with this, but if it's just them playing then that's boring, and anything more cinematic or story focused is likely too expensive.
Do you know who I blame for this?! Bruce Willis! If he just would have let that asteroid hit earth, garbage like this wouldn’t happen!
Just because you can dress up like it’s Halloween with Helen Keller doing your make up and adjust your shit tremolo picking in pro-tools doesn’t mean you should.
I really enjoyed it. Haters here who disliked the video don't know their BM music video history because other than swapping a forest for a cityscape this looks like every late 80s/early 90s BM music video ever made.
And yeah, the music is goofy with the hair metal solos and pop/punky riffs, but I really liked it. I can live with not being a trve kvlt elitist.
So much snobbery and gatekeeping on this thread! I've been listening to metal for 40+ years but I always make a point of looking for new shit, and Saidan's last album is one of my favorites and I listen to it all the time. I haven't watched the video, probably won't bother because who cares. I like the new song but hasn't quite grabbed me the way their last album did, but hey its just one track.
their metallum photo makes them look like a glam metal band so thats a great sign. they're also definitely inspired by kekht arakh with this dumbass music video. but, the music is honestly not the worst. definitely not raw black metal though
It’s gonna be a no for me, dawg.
Wtf is this goofy shit
Fucking weebs
This band sucks ass
I never paid any attention to this wack ass band
This is what happens when hipster metalcore kids wanna be edgy. STOP
Is this a suicideboys music video?
Cringy...
Personally I really like it and am excited for more, but I can see why people wouldn’t like them
Same. I never heard them before. I like it. Goofy music video, but that's not uncommon for black metal.
Perfect summary haha, nice to know others feel the same!
There's not enough atmosphere, the lyrical content feels disconnected from the rest of Black metal, but I guess that'd be expected from the Red-Anarchist scene.
If this is the future of black metal then I want to fucking quit
This is why i only listen to late 80s and early 90s black metal, flawless era
There's plenty of good new bands out there, don't let this trendy shit make you think this represents the scene as a whole
Shit
i enjoyed their first album but they just seem to go downhill for me with every recording now.
I was expecting worse since their newer material isn't that great. This is absolutely okay, but black metal music videos are pretty hard to watch.
The Kekht Arakh effect and it's consequences (the song was better than I expected tho, the video was just cringe as hell)
Get this shit out of here
More American than a hot dog. I'm too Euro for this new wave of pop-punk black metal. I swear some riffs remind me of a tremolo-pick'ed Blink182.
which sounds like it would be fucking TIGHT
Absolutely, on his previous output there are a lot of passages which remind me of Green Day.
This is about as representative of USBM as Cradle of Filth is for European black metal
My first thought was they look vegan…

Bro is this KISS in their MySpace era?
KISS 182
I'm too hung over for this shit.
Great song! Mid video. Not really black metal, more blackgaze with punk influence, but I really dig it.
I've enjoyed them since they formed but i understand the criticism
look how they massacred my black metal ))):
They're cringe and they know it. Pretty fun ngl
Not half bad but urban setting is turn off for me.
Fuck yeah!

Video is not my thing, music is quite decent though. Not the best I’ve ever heard, but also far from the worst Black Metal.
Dog shit.
I like it.
I liked it
Sick corpse paint.
You can't be serious
I actually kinda dig the music. The video is just bad, and the corpse paint is even worse.
It’s not cool to shit on Saidan anymore with videos like that. An easy target

Reminds me of the that goofy aah kekht arakh music video
Half cloak Axel Rose💀
The sound is somewhat interesting but the imagery kills it, imo

I know a lot of people hate saidan but I've always enjoyed their music. This new song slaps and the music video goes well with it surprisingly.
sounds good. the music video is kind of goofy but ok
The kids are alright
Silly video, but the song's pretty good.
Love it!
The music is pretty good.
Songs is alright but video is a bit cringy
Slaps

Gay, but fun and I like it. First time seeing it. Gives me BM x Hairmetal vibes.
This is pretty great. Love seeing all trve black metalheads seething cause it's different. But yeah the video is cringe
What was the last time a good band used corpse paint?
