Origin - Truthslayer Lyrics






Reject defeat derisive divisive reveling in distrust
Celebration of ignorance myopic call to arms
With every tool at your disposal
We will all be disposed of
Kickstart the congregation
The fires that burn within us all

Unparalleled alternative reality untethered wrecking ball
Brilliant exercise in manipulation embrace the absurd
It's not the progression that we need
It's the implosion that we deserve
Exploit the open abcesses
Spilling bile in the wounds

Demagogue
Whos really to blame eight billion special interests
To keep corralled like children can't make their own decisions
Oceans of humanity I wish the seas would dry out
Where is this global warning that I've heard so much about

Punishment befitting a naive populace
Erosion of logic in favor of regress
Sardonic feudalist embarrassing spectacle
I don't want to live on this planet anymore

Unparalleled alternative reality untethered wrecking ball
Brilliant exercise in manipulation embrace the absurd

    Production sounds like garbage.

  3. J.... Z....

    I prefer more girth.

  4. S.... P....

    Just a hell of a Death Metal track
    Awesome musicians, supreme ideas in writing komplex an superior stuff

  5. K.... J....

    Fuck man

  6. S.... ....

    30 years robbing bands

  7. V.... S....

    I like this guy

  8. V.... D....

    What an amazing drummer!!! To be able to do double kicks on both feet like that… Wow!!

  9. Z.... C....

    Percussion wizard

  10. t.... h....

    not fast enough

  11. A.... S....

    the problem i have with the new album that the kick trigger almost sounds like a snare

  12. O.... 7....

    Pretty good, but can he play Seven Nation Army?

    O.... 7....

    Observer 75 Lol. 😅😅😅😅

  13. G.... E....

    Cool and sick /,,/

  14. C.... A....

    Never stop. But I don’t think you could anyway.
    Edit: shout out to the camera people and editor for not having too many cuts

  15. J.... ....

    Guys, what’s the rapid double bass sound that he’s not obviously playing, is it something digital added

    J.... ....

    Hes playing heel and toe, it looks like you're playing half the speed you are. Check out the technique sometime itll mess with your brain lol

  16. P.... M....

    Dude looks bored AF

  17. F.... O....

    Why was this album taken off of Spotify ?!! And iTunes Store?

  18. D.... J....

    He's probably the best extreme metal drummer around. Other people can play as fast, but John makes it all look so effortless.

  19. C.... ....

    I would pay to learn how to play like this! Oh wait. I think I did...get that DVD out!

  20. L.... A....

    From 0:59 secs to the end I grooved off

  21. J.... H....

    This is surpisingly grind of Origin

  22. i.... m....

    sounds like a machine gun
    even faster

  23. B.... D....

    And this is the part where I get ultra depressed and discouraged and drop my sticks in dismay.

  24. t.... ....

    Listen to this then listen to their song Reciprocal and admit this is shit.

  25. B.... ....

    Oh John to throw me a stick last month in Portland! Couldn't believe how solid everyone in the band was. Went for John, enjoyed it for the band. Especially their bassist he was fucking gnarly. Could barely keep up with the Insanity of it all.

  26. g.... ....

    I just wish he used rim shots more. He hits too soft for my taste

  27. C.... ....

    Bad ass. Hail Origin.

  28. M.... G....

    I would feel better about my drumming skills if it at least looked like he was trying hard. Drumming is a fucking joke to this man.

  29. J.... -....

    Just happy to see decent human beeings talking to each other kindly, debating about taste/influence/genra/techniques/groove/feeling/composition/complexity and all that stuff, but in an argumented manner, and with intelligible english ;) damn, metal-heads are the BEST !! \m/ :p

    J.... -....

    JoPe - TuYaTroJoueY scroll up, its inescapable lol

  31. d.... ....

    like a love song tough \m/

  32. L.... P....

    OOOOH MAAAN!!! NOOO FUCKKKINN WAAAAYYY

  33. T.... A....

    all this does is show just how good John Longstreth is as a drummer also I know this isn't as heavy as previous Origin song but I still like this song

  34. D.... ....

    I miss old origin. Entity was the last one that did it for me.

    D.... ....

    Dudeatrix entity was the masterpiece from them. But they was only 3 guys. No singer. All vocals by bass and guitar... awesome trio🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

    D.... ....

    entity had some good songs but not a complete album, antithesis was the last good one

    D.... ....

    EGGJAZZ Origin doesn’t have a bad album.

    D.... ....

    All their albums are badass, can't go wrong with any of them!

  35. M.... ....

    One of the harder-hitting tracks on the album. I tend to prefer the ones with Paul's arpeggios, but there's a greater range of styles on the new album.

  36. R.... G....

    Excessive snare, excessive bassdrum. Ergh

  37. H.... B....

    yer chum avec luc lemay of gorgut,ca parrais,c tun christ de fiou,good drumming.

  38. c.... ....

    This is sick! Gonna have to check out the new album. Bonus points for the KC jersey in the back.

  39. R.... T....

    Blown away

  40. O.... R....

    nice heel-toe.

  41. m.... ....

    Would sound way better if he did more hand work. For example at the beginning the rests and short bursts of double bass would have sounded better on the snare because there's already so much low end in the music as it is. The drums don't really cut through at all. Another thing i've observed is that triggers ruined death metal. Makes everything sound rigid. It's self defeating to sacrifice the organic feel of the music to make high speeds more audible. A lot of black metal bands have it figured out. Death metal is behind. Regardless, i gave this video a thumbs up because the drummer is still tight if not musical.

    m.... ....

    shut up

    m.... ....

    mindrapeart Lol, Black metal has it figured out about not using triggers. Did you really just write that?

    m.... ....

    I am sad to agree with this comment. Death metal has jumped the shark with the triggering. I’m ok with the process but it pushed many bands into a mechanical sound for percussion and we’ve lost the muscle in the genre. It’s the difference between skinny speed junkies and beefy steroid addicts. One or the other.

  42. P.... _....

    I have to admit, I'm not exactly an avid fan of heel-toe but he seems to have perfected it. Too often do I see drummers using heel-toe that are sloppy at anything below 230bpm; it sounds gallopy and inconsistent. But not with this guy. Easily pulls off plenty of double bass grooves (the trigger sounds like shit tho) despite the otherwise mechanical and frankly lazy technique.

    His hand technique is seriously bad though. Like, really. You'd need to trigger everything else to get a decent sound, and it's not exactly overly technical either. You can tell they're keeping the fills to a minimum here because he can only get 2 and a half strokes on fills that are supposed to be 4. This is only slightly offset by his moderate capability of blasting, but even that's thrown out the window by the low volume and awful sound of the whole kit. Well, the toms don't sound so bad but he barely uses them here.

    P.... _....

    Did you honestly just try to claim that John can't blast that well? Lmfao. Dude. Just ya, dislike the band all you want but claiming that is just stupid. You're either a troll or just some egotistical kid. Rarely do I come across a comment that is just flat out wrong. Enjoy that ego kid. Love how you're going to claim that "you know what you're talking about" when you clearly do not. I seriously doubt you even play the drums. John is a legend among deathmetal drummers for a reason. Try harder next time. How did I guess that the second someone diagareed with you you'd try to take the "I know what I'm talking about and you don't" card. Claiming superiority but clearly demonstrating the opposite makes you look like a fool, again. Thanks for the laughs. If you would have just said that you didn't like the sound of the kit, or his style I could understand that, but you just tried to claim that John couldn't blast which is basically what the fuck he's known for (blasting and doubles). That's like saying Jordan was fast, and athletic, but he couldn't dunk for shit.

    P.... _....

    there isnt one thing in this idiotic comment that makes any sense!!!! this guy is the dennis chambers of death metal, flawless technique hands and feet, however the comment about only getting 2 and a half notes where there should be 4 is the icing on the shitcake for me :). oh and if your gonna talk utter bollox, you better 1)have a video of yourself showing everyone how it should be done 2) point out another drummer you think could fill this guys shoes and do it better

    P.... _....

    Yea you kinda need play drums to really think his hands are sloppy. I don't know what the fuck you're looking at. An seriously, show me an extreme metal drummer without sloppy hands then.

    A serious response here. Origin is a short fill band with a short fill drummer. Longstreth vs Kollias (and Laureano) from Nile... similar ideas but the music calls for different things. Origin is very stop start, Nile plays long fills and the drums follow.

    I personally don’t really like Origin. It’s too chaotic for me. But there is no question that Longstreth is the closest drummer alive to being a drum machine, in all seriousness. He doesn’t have to quantise everything.

    Listen again. The short fills are even harder to play and that’s why most don’t do them. And yes. Maybe he’s just sitting on his limits. That’s OK too.

  43. D.... B....

    I like a good love song.

  44. s.... ....

    more like *tooth slayer*

  45. S.... ....

    God Origin is boring... A near constant flurry of blast beats with a few riffs chucked in is not my idea of good song writing. I'm sorry if this offended any Origin fans but it's simply how i feel.

    S.... ....

    You're straight up retarded if you think it's just ordinary blasting. You clearly have no idea how poly rhythmic his blasts are. Clean your ears out and listen again. Your brain just isn't yet up to speed to hear everything. It's okay, maybe in the future!

    S.... ....

    Eh, to each is own. I’m not one to judge. I’ll admit, I have to be in the mood for them. You can’t deny their insane technicality though 🤘🏼

    S.... ....

    but nobody caaaaaaaares

    S.... ....

    Entity they got groove back

    S.... ....

    I liked them lots more with the antithesis singer, i can't put my finger on it why. But i do...Jason is the better frontman in his stage presence though..

  46. d.... 0....

    not quite my tempo and not enough blasts

  47. s.... o....

    I liked the part with the blast beat

  48. T.... M....

    That was rad

  49. Q.... ....

    I can play this two times faster, hold by beer

  50. M.... F....

    Extreme-core \m/

  51. B.... G....

    AMAZINGGG!!

  52. m.... 6....

    One of his crash cymbals hits the China on the left

    m.... 6....

    mike pk666 so?

  53. F.... L....

    TA-BAR-NAQUE .. Longstreth !

  54. C.... S....

    Cool song but can John play anything fast?

  55. C.... R....

    I love the POV cam, now I can see what it's like to be good at the drums. Super heavy!

    C.... R....

    The Secularist Your wrists will have to be like a girl's to play that fast.

    C.... R....

    Dan L unless you play and blast with your fingers like how myself and countless others death/tech death drummers do
