Underoath's insanely long titled song was one of the first songs that personally got me into metal.
Even hearing it now since I've gone on to harder music makes me ecstatic. It was just a gateway song for me into the world of metal.
Underoath’s sound for this song would be categorizes under combined category of extreme metal and hardcore punk forming metalcore. Characteristics for metalcore is that the vocals are screamed and that there are breakdowns like metal overall.
This song is a good base for modern day metal for multiple reasons. For the most part the lyrics are decipherable as well as can strike a good cord with their lyrics.
The lyrics tell the story of a boy regretting/dealing with a decision he has made with a girl involving sex.
The emotional content that goes along with this type of commonly found angst among adolescence is heard within the song through the singer and the fast paced instruments.
This song has a combination of screaming with a back up screamer as well as the usual singing making this a good choice for a beginning metal listener.
Also a side tid bit of random info, the drummer, Aaron Gillespie, shown above is also the lead singer. I think that's pretty impressive.
