As The Structure Fails originally started in 2009 and in 2014 brothers Carter and Kyle Laird joined as the vocalists. The group are not only bandmates but family. This aspect of family was important when drummer Kyle Clarke underwent multiple brain surgeries for a life-threatening diagnosis called Arteriovenous Malformation which he had been battling since he was a child. The band put all music projects on hold in order to support him. Although this was a difficult period for them all, as of 2016 Kyle made a full recovery. This struggle has created an outlook of thankfulness that has reinforced the friendship and music of the band.
As of August 2018 they released their latest full-length album collaborating on their song "Purgatory" which features Brook Reeves of Impending Doom. The album focuses on topics such as damaged relationships ("Undesired"), addiction ("The Fix"), and the immoral habits of our culture
The band is continuing to create a sound that relies on heavy technical playing, but at the same time keeping catchy rhythms and choruses at the forefront of their sound. Carter and Kyle Laird are unique in comparison to other double fronted bands as they are biological brothers.
Based out of Stouffville, Ontario, Canada.
Lyrics:
I'm lost faking my disguise
My thoughts eat me up inside
And it hurts to say
That I know I'm fading away
I thought I'd reached my all time low
Yet further further down I go
They say love is the healer
Love is the healer
But no one can seem to save me from myself
Stand here for the last time
Constantly crushing me
Forget the emotion
Can't seem to let go
You know I've tried to find you
I can't escape I can not reach the surface I've been looking for
Save me
I don't know what to do
Save me
I don't know what to do
They say love is the healer
Love is the healer
But no one can seem to save me from myself
Stand here for the last time
Constantly crushing me
Forget the emotion
Can't seem to let go
You know I've tried to find you
I can't escape I can not reach the surface I've been looking for
I thought I'd reached my all time low
Yet further further down I go
I thought I'd reached my all time low
Yet further further down I go

Same dude! Not what I expected at all but definitely wayyyyyy better.
I did the same thing I love this
saaaaame
Oh my freaken gosh same
Children of the core-n
Children of the Korn
Is that what fans of this are? Children of the Core-n?
If so I support it
@@nutty1119 🤣
🤣
I have to say...very well said!! 🤘🏻
Nice.
For anyone wondering if this song still slaps after 3 years, I'm here to tell you it does.
It absolutely does 😂
LOVE IT! its got that early 2000's metalcore vibe 🎉
These guys better dress like this for live shows or I’m leaving
Well find out saturday!!!!
😂🤘
@@joshcormier5958 did it happen?
We would not have a problem with that here in Oregon, lol. Look Oregon band Pitch Black Mass guitarist.
@@byknutz anqueega might throw molotov cocktails and call em fascist
OK who else was shocked when this song actually turned out to be an absolute banger?! 🔥
I thought this was going to be a joke.
I don't even know what the fuck happened. Shit ended up being so amazing. Now, I'm anticipating more from them.
Yeah, this sh!t straight slapped me in the ears and made a fan
I like the instrumentals even more than the song. 🔥🔥
I was completely mind blown 🤯 like “Dude this is actually really fire 🔥🤟🏾”
@@kurumi9714 Did you listen instrumental that we released for this?
NEVER STOP MAKING THIS TYPE OF METALCORE!!!! omfg I haven't heard a band this fucking dope since early 2012 era
You are too kind🖤 🌽
@@AsTheStructureFails No U
Listen to famous last words or crown the empire. If that’s too heavy than a similar band to this one but a lot more melodic vocals is Light the Torch.
winds of plague
I've recently found this band, the music videos are hilarious but the music is just amazing
*ol' mcdonald had a farm*
*THEN IT WAS PASSED TO HIS KIDS*
hold up I just posted this
😂 Kids these days !! Ol McDonald made a breakdown
🐖🐄
BREEEEEE
Its actually his brothers. Since they're hillbillies, they are both his brothers and his sons anyway.
When the drummer pulls out the two corn 🌽 out of his bibs and beats the drums... That was Beautiful
Lmao thanks Bubby 🌽🌽 Keep it corny
Fucking oath what a drop in
This is the only ad I don't regret clicking, cobcore ftw🔥🤙🏻
Sometimes an ad just absolutely pays off!!! This is straight 🔥!!!! Well done my metal brothers
Really appreciate the encouragement Joe, loads more on the way.
@@AsTheStructureFails it's too soon to spread your checks. Wait for the moment think island boys. Invest sex not appealing.
I was listening to Architects and have no clue how I got to this... not complaining though🤣🤣🤣
Ahh the classic CZcams rabbit hole!🤣 Thanks for rocking out!!
I came from Born of Osiris
@@commandercorndoggakadvs3768 Gotta love Born right?!
Better than the new Architects tbh
@@marshallsmith619 I will agree that the music video is better than Architect's music videos, but Architects reach me more personally. Still very good though.
If these guys want to marry their sisters. I'm okay with that.
Thanks, the wedding was actually on Saturday 😂
@@AsTheStructureFails the fuck lmao
@@AsTheStructureFails im laughing so hard im legit crying 😂😂😂😂
@@AsTheStructureFails shit marry me and my sisters. We could be a metal family 😄
@@theouterlimits1 hahahaha
The slow mo clips of the belly slaps were the cherry on top 😂🔥
Lmaooooo glad you're diggin it brother 😂🔥 🔥
Saw an ad on Facebook, came to CZcams, I'm from Kentucky, and love metal!!!......2 in 1 for me, havnt gotten vibes like this since the old school metalcore days! Killswitch, As I Lay Dying, Haste The Day, etc. Keep it up guys this is absolutely AMAZING!!! 🤘😝🤘
When you play the drums with corn, you have achieved something amazing😂
A MAZE ing* fixed that for ya
😂 Keep it corny Charles
But this wasn’t recorder with a corn cob it’s a video gimmick. Sure it’s funny but nothing about this is hillbilly but the video. They should have had some bluegrass breaks or a banjo solo at least.
@@Btkamp it’s MetalCore they ain’t going be playing this at your square dances anytime soon just saying
@@Btkamp someone always got to kill the magic
Came to see what I thought would be a meme, stayed because it actually turned out badass! Great job guys!
yeah!! Thanks Alex
🤘
Same, actually!
Pleasant surprise! love this!
Nice fire🔥 Keep the flame ongoing!!~ Yeah!!🔥📛 or you don't need to be careful with that. I don't know. Oh.. Oh....
The shots of the vocalist riding the tractor screaming kills me 😂😂 I'm so glad I clicked on this ad, yall are fucking dope
Lmao thanks Nick! Keep it corny 😂🌽
@@AsTheStructureFails aww...shucks yall definitely caught my ear 😂🤘🏼
Fuck I always forget about this song and try to remember it, i legit typed in cornfield metal song fake teeth to find this, also why doesn’t this have 1M by now
Lmao that is amazing
😆 Where did you originally discover us? Thanks Devin that means a lot!
It was this CZcams Ad from when you guys first posted it. It’s saved now so can always remember
the second guy has an awesome voice i might add WOW!
Major Protest the Hero vibes right! Keep it up boys! Omg!
letss gooo!! thank you!! Canadian metal ftw
I really love bands like this, their gimmick makes you question if they are really serious or not, and then bam, dropped on your fucking neck
Lmao thanks Robert - appreciate that
Thats what i was wondering. Gimmicks are great as long as they're not serious with something light hearted. Gwar is a perfect example of when a gimmick just works
Lmfao their generic music and their generic gimmick is sooooooo cool isnt it?! Go listen to some real fucking hardcore or metal.
Try Okilly Dokilly then!!
Heavy metal is like rule 34. if it exist, there's a metal version of it.
I just wanna say... I love this comment but at the same time I don't
Death metal not heavy metal
If custom maps exist there is a dust 2 war owls 3rd law of counter strike
Metal in general
lol exactly what I think
As the structure fails needs to be Canada's number one export!
This song made me feel like I didn't for years. Like 2006 listenning to Killswitch Engage or In Flames or Soilwork of that era.
Well done lads, good work!!!!
The belly rolls killed me. I was expecting this to be cringe, but this song actually smacks.
Haha, thanks salad! Filming that scene was hilarious and unforgettable to say the least. Glad we got to capture it with this video 🤘. Hope you're keeping well!
Yea it does. But that beginning disappointed me. Hey... maybe they did it on purpose
Facts!
@@AsTheStructureFails you guys are so dope. I had to hack into my husband’s account just to tell you guys lol. And keep it up you all have such amazing talent you all will go far in life!!! -Mrs. Flanders
@@MFpuddles Thanks for taking the time to reach out 😊
Hanging upside down banjo shot? Yes please
Thats the best fucking shot.these guys are fucking awsome
This really takes me back to the good old days y'all. Growing up on the farm was the only education I ever needed.
Happy to hear that. for sure you learn a ton by working on farms
@@AsTheStructureFails yes sir, the most important lesson is "love". The animals teach you that one.
What in tarnation? That opening riff is one of my new favorites now
mmmm love it
Came for the jokes, stayed for the riffage \m/
Clicked this expecting comedy, stayed because these dudes are actually pretty good. Would definitely watch them live
Thanks William! Appreciate that, keep it corny
🌽
Trust me, they suck live
Crop circles never failed to reappear on this place after this superb song. The earth not worthy!
Thank you, please continue dropping bangers.
My man is shredding the banjo
🤘🏻
Banjo Shreds > Everything else
😂. Thanks for jamming us STK!! Keep it metal 🤘🏻
Love the banjo
@@shadowassassin6319 Thanks Travis, hope you're doing well man

Anyone else keep coming back to this one? Can't wait to see what's next from these guys!
Something special Nov. 19th 😉. Thanks Moses
Okay. I saw this several times so I finally clicked and this HITS!
Fresh out da corn field with some dank ass polyrhythms
Lmaoo 🔥🔥 oh yeah
So this is one targeted ad that actually reached its target.
That's amazing to hear, appreciate the comment Talia. Hope you're doing well
I typically never click on ads, but I see one that says "hillbilly metal", so I click. Came for lulz and stayed for some badass metal. Helluva job fellas.
Seen a meme and thought what the heck, found the song thinking it was a joke and like holy crap these guys are killing it!
Awesome!!!
This song is actually really good. Like REALLY good
This band perfectly captured what it is to be a Georgian
I definitely expected a metalcore parody of some kind, but this one really hits! Immediately added this to my playlist! 🤘🤘🤘
Love it Jared, glad you're gettin into it 🤘🤘
The algorithm is awesome, this band popped up when listening to Volumes, i thought this song was a new song but its a complete different band!! Definitely jamming this for a while!
This is what happens when slipknot meets the hills have eyes and the wrong turn. 😂 but I’m jamming 😂
Lmaooooo 🌽 Thanks Jack
Plot twist: its Slipknot without the masks. I mean, they're from Iowa, can it get more hillbilly than that?
Nice. If anyone in Durham wants to be neighbours with the 3rd generation Children Of The Corn give me a call!
LMAO
HellYeah....👏👉🤟🤟....Rockers Of The Chorn..... Awesomeness Riffs Cymbal Worx Banjo Percussion Bass Vocals Mesh Very Well Minute by Minute....Good Job Boys Roc On Metal Heads....
Posted 2 years ago and just now seeing an ad for it? I was skeptical to click it but no regrets, badassery at its finest!
Love it, thank you my dude
Very pleasantly surprised, you guys kick ass, and those clean vocals are on point
🙏
Mack on fire? Corn cob drum sticks? McFalex, you've done it again sir!
the first time I've ever clicked an add...now I'm wondering if I've missed a ton of gold....cause this...this is gold
That is sick, thanks Kenny. We got loads more weird stuff otw !
Omg this is fantastic. It's like brojob and veil of Maya had a baby in every way...
yo, all jokes aside, this song is actually really good. Like how does this not have more views??
Sounds like old volumes. I like this a lot! The breakdown got my good. This is my kind of hillybilly music. This an hank Williams.
Dudes i will always listen to hill billy metal the surface wow it's awesome
Why am I just now seeing/hearing this?😭🔥🤘🏾🤘🏾 insanely good
CZcams recommendations 100% on point today.
Yes
The instrumentals are badass.. lol thought the lyrics were gonna be about farming,hunting or fishing. Lol u know country stuff or like his ex wife took the dog and the good recliner
HAHA! Thanks Michael, that would have been hilarious😆
Visual representation of what it’s like being a metal head in Indiana
Fuck yes. This is what the world needs. You guys are killing it. If y’all come up towards New Hampshire to play you know I’ll be there
Thanks Chris, that's great to hear! Hope to meet you soon
that's some sick belly slapping! 🤘🤘
I don't know what just happened in my life that I stumbled upon this now. Fanfuckingtastic.
Had me at the trash can lid used for a china 🤣🤣
I'm really corn-fused why this doesn't have more views, it's a-maze-ing. I think you guys are right around the corn-er of a breakthrough.
Appreciate that RG. Love the corn jokes too 😆
@@AsTheStructureFails lol thank you!
Just found this!!! Put's tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat from the nostalgia it envokes and hope for the future of music. I fucking love this shit!!!!
My dude slam dancing with the corn cobs 🌽 🤣 😆
The sound of your voices is damn good.
The refrain is brilliant when the clean vocals start.
Greetings from Germany.
Thank you Einfach, really glad you're liking what you hear
Its really not. Go listen to any other mainstream hot topic wannabe scene band
@@chrisdigiorgi2915 ey chris, if there is any place in this world where we don't need your opinion... is this one.

Haha, better late than never right?!
Being intrigued and clicking on this was a good idea🦾
Clicked for the lols stayed for the ear shredding riffs. Great job guys!
Love it, thank youu!! keep it corny

That's amazing, thanks Tim!!

@@timhobson4323 Yeah our 2018 self titled record is available! Along with our 2013 record however this album is with the old vocalist
Clicked thinking it was a joke, but ended up pleasantly surprised!
CZcams has for once gave me something good as an ad, straight 🔥🔥
Well I gotta say that is easily the best "ad" I have ever watched on CZcams. Hoping to find more music by these guys. 🤘
That is unreal, hope you're liking what you hear 🤘🌽
@@AsTheStructureFails so far so good looking forward to finish listing to the album I found on pandora tonight after work, keep up the good work 🤘🤘
I saw the ad and it made my eyebrow raise so much I had to click
This is now my favourite song, listen to it at least 20 times a day no joke, I live how melodic that riff is and then that drop o.g
That is amazing, thank you Brad. Hope you're doing well brother. Keep it metal
@@AsTheStructureFails Doing great! Had our Baby boy today at 12:13pm... Christmas Baby! Kobi Darnley :) Literally listening to 'on the edge' while I cut his cord haha 🤣 Also, The Surface was played at my Uncles funeral, I showed him you guys and he got hooked haha, R.I.P Uncle Ray. Honestly, As The Structure Fails, I hope you all appreciate how good you are and realise that your musical talent is God like... you've smashed Asking Alexandria and I See Stars, please... keep your amazing work going! Enough love and respect for your future and happy new year 🙂 x
Legendary Brothers!!!
Intro is so beautifully simple.
I was just casually listening to Beartooth then boom. Stumbled upon gold.
Beartooth is amazingggg great taste! 🤘 Thanks Deebo
Best ad I ever clicked on! You guys sound fucking amazing!
The farm country vibes were unreal and so awesome! Def will recommend you guys!! 🌽🌽🔥🤘
Thanks Daniel 🤘 Keep it corny! Hope you're doing well man
Right On!!!
Okay I was not expecting this song to fuck this hard. This is a straight up banger! I was half expecting a bluegrass / metalcore hybrid but this is just awesome. The video is hilarious too. I lost it when the drummer was using husks of corn for sticks 😂
I knew something was missing from my life but I never thought it would be hillbilly metal! My life is complete now 🤘
This is amazing, thanks Nick 🤘 Keep it corny
they need to follow this up with their smash songs "squeal like a pig city boy" and " you sure smell purdy tonite Pa"
The one time I click an add!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!!
I discovered this video the other day (thanks to an Instagram reel), and i couldn't stop laughing. I had to watch this video several times :D
Heavy metal songs give me another kind of harmony ❤🎧
Respect from India 🇮🇳
The lyrics are fucking original & relatable
This sound like white chapel with the guitar riffing and vocals breakdowns I love it
Thanks man, Whitechapel is amazing 🤘great taste
Drumming with corn cobs!! Yes 🤣 🌽
Lmaooo oh yea, keeper corny🌽🤣
This song helped me figure out my trucks top speed lol
If you’re wondering it’s 170kph.
Came back after hearing again on spotify. I know the music video's hilarious, but the song itself is straight fire! Love it so much and can't wait to hear more in the future!
Thanks so much for the kind words Snek : ) releasing a new single very soon! Cheers
I’m a hillbilly and I approve. Love the music guys, definitely going on my Spotify
Hell yea! Keep it metal🤘🏻🤘🏻
Even the f****** corn is metal!
The metal lives within us all...🤘🎸
Yes... It sure does ! 🤘🙏🌽
I’m a metal head with country roots. My boyfriend constantly calls me a country girl… For some reason, it exasperates me, but this… this makes me proud.
I can definitely see Killswitch Engage influences. Definitely need to be in Top 10(I'd put them Top 5) in the metalcore discussion.
Really appreciate that G. Kenon, thanks for taking a listen 🤘
