Strapping Young Lad - Exciter Lyrics
Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp
So you're in his trip
First you'll smoke and smoulder
Blister up and singe
When ignition hits you
The very soul of your being will cringe
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please
Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
He's come to make you snap out
Of the state that you are in
Looks around and make you
See the light again
So much self-indulgence
Results in shattered eyes
Predominant complacency
Leads to beguiling lies
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
When he leaps amidst us
With combustive dance
All shall bear the branding
Of his thermal lance
Cauterizing masses
Melting into one
Only when there's order
Will his job be done
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please
Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
Racing past the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter

there's a reason Judas Priest wanted Devin to replace Halford
As good as it gets. And that’s a fucken tough song to do.
Dude looks like a klingon.
🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼🔥👹👹👹👹👹👹
I also like Ann bolin's version. Up the irons!
Nice cover, really! His voice is amazing In this cover. I m sure je can do some Blind Guardian covers too!
ハゲてるけどいいね👍
Holy Shit!!!!! This is incredible
wow this is incredible,,,,,,, they didn't try the easiest track neither
Singer does a great job, but really, consider shaving off the bozo doo.
Chris A at the time of your comment he had shaved it years ago. Who cares about the singers hair anyway? Bozo.
Wow . This is really good . . . . That voice
great classic by Judas ,very heavy , ,very interpretation ,very fuck ,Fuck
Great attempt. Almost as good as the original
This should JPs remastered version of this song sound like......
Is it me or does he sound like Blind Guardian/Overkill singers had a son.
He sounds a lot like Ripper Owens here imo
he sounds a lot like Devin in this song
It doesn't seem humanly possible, how can this guy have so much damn talent?! Even makes the bald patch he's sporting somehow majestic!
He called it a skullet
OMFG that ending!! That scream is on the same level with Robs.......amazing!
janborrowitz Hevy Devy HAS and Chuck had the most INSANE metal range I've ever heard... brutal lows and shrill as fuck highs... but in KEY! that's the trick kiddies! scream as loud as you want... but without pitch and tone control... you sound like a spoiled child :)
Too bad that wasn't a scream. That was standard falsetto singing.
You have won, Joni ,-).....terve
Got me jizzin in ma pants
\m/GooD_OnE \m/
Is there anything Devin cant do? <3
janey c Suck? though he has a song about how much they "fucking suck"... Paradox? man is a God.
Yes he can't sing wicked as Metal God,it's something you've born with.
Reach Rob's halford clean octaves
haha That's what I was gonna say! Suck. Devin can't suck.
amazing ... just as they did in The Sinner ... very good
Great singer, he can sing anything
+GUSTAVO OROZCO indeed guys i say epic \m/ metal
GUSTAVO OROZCO yep
かっけ!
holy shit.
did not know about this,love devind's vocal range but this is Beyond awsome....
A Really Excellent Cover Version of a great song.
A true credit to the original
Well Done Strapping Young Lad!
Fuck! Is there anything Devin CAN'T do???
+laney50w bahahahahahahahahaha thats what i thought, and commented, then i scrolled down to see you wrote the same thing :p
+laney50w Comb his hair?
Best Cover Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome...gave me chills...just bought this cd for my son for his bday...told me I needed to hear this cover. great job!!!
amazing cover !
FUCK !!!! AWESOME COVER !! INCREDIBLE VOCALS and GREAT MUSICIANS !!!
FUUUUCK!
I can't believe I've never heard this cover before. It's fucking kickass. Devvy's done a cover of Sinner, too, which is also fantastic.
Best Preist cover everrrrrr.....Devin Townsend is the best (metal) vocalist ever...he can sing everything....clean, scream, grunt name it....listen at the last part of his high note....\m/
Are you kidding? Listen to Tim Ripper Owens cover
Rocking \m/
Definitely the best cover off the tribute album.
fuck thats
rad
holy fucking shit, Devin is god!
Why does it go on for ~6 mins afterwards? This vid is impossible to put in a playlist.
maybe, but you've got to see Devin live too. I was genuinely impressed to hear him sing live. I believe he can nearly replicate how good this sounds on stage
I usually hate covers, but goddamn they knocked that Priest one out of the park!
here is a live vid from tuska open air, he is that good of a vocalist. not saying he is as good as halford or owens but he is def one of the best around right now. watch?v=juUW4vUtS0c
This isn't recorded live at all, nor does anyone claim it to be.
I like this version of Exciter and I think the singer is good. However this is not a pure live recording and I'll bet you the singer re-sang the vocal parts. Plus, there are heavy effects on the vocals helping things out. It's very polished and very touched up.
Jon Blake don’t reply to a 5 year old comment ya turkey
watch?v=cJ9_uVqFCtM
*bows* not worthy, not worthy
every metal fan.. i don't care about fans. my point is that this cover is much better and more powerful than original. Devin is maybe greatest artist/songwriter/singer in his generation..
kakkukaala cool yes. better then halford no fucking way.
dude,you are totally wrong!! IF there are at same age,every metal fans knows who is beter
No it definitely wasn't.
04:52 - 05:03 XD
I think that this version is much more powerful and heavy than original. guitars and drums sounds much better compared to original where guitar and drums sounds like they used 50$ to get them. Rob is great singer but when he does live performances... he sounds like an average singer. Devin is always powerful and usually he sounds even better when he sings live. Rob was metal god in studio but live he isn't any better than dave mustaine :D Devin and SYL for ever! <3
WTF are you talking about? Judas Priest's live version of this song from Unleashed In The East completely blows this away, and Rob's vocals destroy all.
Whattt the hell you say mannnn... You have shit in your mouth
That was Running Wild... noob :P
5:25 Awww no Wicker Man =( Would have been too metal anyway.
darksunwithin it was “Running Wild” listen to Unleashed in the East...
TOO. MUCH. METAL. -head explodes-
Helllike impact received !
Not too more extreme than the original, nor not so similar to it, they mustn't have tried to be like Judas Priest ; covering any tune of any band, they are themselves !
This is definitely not a cover by a band tried to show some doubtful respect to the Metal Gods that can be found everywhere nowadays, but this is truly just a cover of one of the best metal songs by one of the best metal bands on this planet.
Coolest Devin, Jed, Byron and Gene !
pretty sure this was done in chilliwack with adrian white playing drums.
He does. You just can't hear it
I have loved this since the first time I've heard it. Devy knows how to cover priest. Especially since he has the range to cover Halford. I love it!
Devin is the man! Great energy!
if it was the last bit of food on earth i would rather eat my arms, legs, and nipples before i'd ever lick that thing
that is the best thing ever
They're both good in their own way. The SYL cover is a lot more aggressive and has more power to it but the original has a lot more soul.
Take it easy dude, the world is grey.
I prefer this one, it has more way more energy and power
Or in this case, it becomes a slightly different fountain of pure metal glory than it already was.
lol how long do you plan on keeping that?
The Unleashed in the East live version is the best I reckon!
This is so fookin' awesome...I want more! Does anyone know of any Priest covers by SYL besides this and Sinner??
@ThinkingReality Fuck yeah, he always does!
@th3blakinator fuck yea son!
wow, that was an eargasm
Made that song their bitch - Nice work gents
Killer cover even though some of the lyrics are wrong.
Wow i never heard this cover and i love SYL wow....this is fucking sick
@stgm I've got a MC Donald's cheeseburger signed by mr. Townsend in my freezer. Is that metal?
Do you still have it?
Holy shit, they absolutely killed it!
Awesome cover.
This tune was the first SYL I ever heard, been hooked since.
God damn! I knew that Priest are one of Devin's favourite bands, but this fucking rules!
WOW, FUCK YEAH DEVY!!!
@versusterminus19 lol no I just accidentally added an extra "o" in Holy Grail.
@collectmybrains Does he only join bands with double letters?
Lj wuz here
Daaaaamn. Townsend really nails those lyrics.
OMG HE IZ BALDZ.... LULZ..
@TilHelvete Du er så gay.
Shit, even Gamma Ray can do it better than these guys.
No way.
@stgm
Hooly Grails' singer (ex White-Wizzard) could get that good in a few years,
Judas Priest is metal as fuck. SYL is metal as fuck. So does that mean SYL (1) covering Judas Prest (1) is the most metal thing ever (2)? I can only think of Death covering Painkiller as being anywhere nearly as metal. Getting bumed by Rob Halford would also be pretty metal.
Staaaaaaaaaaaaand back for Exciteeer!
Thanks man, great song. I wish I was old enough to have enjoyed this stuff earlier, but I'll have to settle for the past 2 years...
SYL is a great band. One of my favorites.
Discovered SYL through this CD back in 98 (when i bought the Legends of Metal). Great cover and great bands. TY for uploading.
