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!!!
Blistered by a raging sun's flames Mankind sealed it's fate in it's haste Warning signs sent time after time We just sit back in all this waste All this waste And I will not wait I'll climb from this place I'll climb to the truth To the truth Blackened skies poisoned ashes cried Mankind sealed it's fate in it's haste Warning signs sent time after time We just sit back ignore the waste All the waste An I cannot wait I'll climb from this place I'll climb to the truth To the truth To the truth Looking to the skies I can see the ashes falling Looking to the shy I can see it all coming down I can never give up I can never give up my fights right I can never give out I can never give out because mine is right My fight is truth My fight is truth
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 love how straightforward and simple the production of this song and video is. No fat, all muscle. And god, metalcore started going in some horrifically overproduced and shitty directions a couple years after this.

Jacob Knapp , you obviously don’t try to find good hardcore. Turnstile is killing it and has been for years. That entire Baltimore/D.C./Virginia scene have been killing it. NYHC bands are still alive and strong.
Marc Horowitz yea turnstile, krimewatch, and a band called payback from dc, queensway from Baltimore, and more crossover thrash but red death from dc and iron Reagan from Richmond all rip
dude strife may have been the very first hxc band i had ever come across(it was either strife or blacklisted) i was street punk at the time and somehow while searching for new music on limewire i found it and was like.. holy f**k what was that??! my life was changed. it took me years literally to figure it all out. and worth ever effort i am eternally grAteful for this sound
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
idgaf what anyone says, this is by far one of THE best breakdowns in all of hardcore music history

This is the absolute most hardcore classic video you Never saw.. eat your hearts out!!
Blistered by a raging sun's flames
Mankind sealed it's fate in it's haste
Warning signs sent time after time
We just sit back in all this waste
All this waste
And I will not wait
I'll climb from this place
I'll climb to the truth
To the truth
Blackened skies poisoned ashes cried
Mankind sealed it's fate in it's haste
Warning signs sent time after time
We just sit back ignore the waste
All the waste
An I cannot wait
I'll climb from this place
I'll climb to the truth
To the truth
To the truth
Looking to the skies I can see the ashes falling
Looking to the shy I can see it all coming down
I can never give up
I can never give up my fights right
I can never give out
I can never give out because mine is right
My fight is truth

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
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

“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.🤘🏻
My first intro to hardcore when I was 16...real shit right here 🔥
This was the song/ band that got me into hardcore & metal.
That Stomp.

Still watching...I'm 4o this year.
All these young "hardcore" kids should watch this video as a prerequisite for listening to any modern day hardcore band.

1997 ? damn ... this is so f***ing great !!
STRIFE 4 LIFE!!
This is hardcore!!! Hardcore until the end. Best wishes, from Brazil.
yup still one of my favs!
Absolute Legendary piece of work!!! Not much else needed to be said.
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.
From Brazil 2022
Listening to Strife with a Meshuggah ad to the right. VEVO, YOU'RE FINALLY DOING IT RIGHT.
Noch immer der absolute Hammer!!!
Look into the skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see the ashes falling!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart🔥🔥🔥🙏

HC STILL LIVES 🤘🇮🇩
strife never let me down. all their album was great!!
Back in the 90's. Miss it so much!!
My teenage love it
you have nice kids
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.
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.
The production of this album …🔥🔥Major props to Slayer for their influence to the scene.
Those snare
...STRIFE MADE ME STR8EDGE!...
They listen to metalcore and call themselfs hardcore, they are long lost
Hardest shit i've ever moshed to. This track kills everything!
me siguen poniendo la piel de gallina 20 años después. Pura energía #hardcorechangedmylife gracias.!!
Mejor dicho 23 años después, está música es de 1997
Totalmente…ya no hay nada que se parezco a esto.
