Clearly one of the most important bands and album right now

"SEND MY BODY TO ARBY'S HUMAN FLESH SLIDER COMBO" Chat Pile is like if there was a band, and all their songs are as disturbing as Korn's Daddy. And its awesome.

It's like if Big Black covered "Daddy",Korn covered all of "Atomizer","Songs About Fucking" & Justin Broadrick played guitar on all of it

The fact that they struggle to get booked in their OWN city shows how little the people they are calling out want to hear the truth 😤

They found their home to play at here in Oklahoma City. It's a venue called The Sanctuary.

No worries any longer man...Last year they did the Roadburn Festival in Holland, followed by a festival in Denmark, a tour of Great Britain with two sold out shows in London, a festival in Bristol and shows in Manchester and Glasgow. Then they came Stateside and did an East Coast tour and ended with a West Coast tour...I'm so happy for them and, fortunately, so is most who listen and follow them.

The tortured vocals really add to the album’s sledgehammer raining down on its listeners to put it lightly, only really seen on stuff like Weakling’s Dead as Dreams or Swans’ Public Castration, and it hits like a freight train with the crushing and noisy sludge atmosphere. I hope these guys have a long and successful run, I live for music like this

This is practically a concept album for me. The decay of Americana, rising mental health crises - it's got an awesome message.

They captured a very palpable moment in our country's culture, and just sum up the times in a sonic way. Excited to see what they evolve into.

What I appreciate the most of CP is the social commentary, their anonymity screams desensitization of our American headlines whilst bringing a familiar rhythm ala Godflesh meets Amrep label alums. All the while delivering an importance of today’s dire vision akin to Bukowski, Burroughs and a heavy dose of Cronenberg.

@@Itbecause duly noted.

as an Oklahoma resident songs like "Why" hit especially hard seeing all the barren unused land just sitting there not being used. We absolutely do have the resources and the means. Another fun note about that song - the siren you hear at the end is just a recording of Oklahoma's tornado siren system that they test weekly - and you can always hear it no matter where you are. I've never seen another band manage to so plainly lay out middle america's unique brand of misery, and Chat Pile having as much success as they have gives me hope for my state - culture-wise if nothing else.

I recently watched "The Town of Silent Poison" documentary on YT by Keep Curious Co. It's so awful. The poisoning of the water and sinkholes

I think Chat Pile has taken over the mantle from Daughters as the new best noise/industrial rock band on the scene

An amazing album, easily my album of the year for '22. My heart genuinely goes out to everyone else who fell in love with this album/band due to being able to relate to a lot of the lyrical themes.

8:59 feels good to be quoted verbatim from a genius annotation in a chat pile analysis video 💪

This video is probably my favorite breakdown of this album i've seen anywhere on the internet. Absolutely wonderful work

I know I might be completely off the mark here, but I personally interpret the ‘purple man’ in Grimace Smoking Weed as being a personification of the protagonist’s suicidal ideation. Especially, when you consider the change in colouration of a persons skin when they lose oxygen due to asphyxiation (a process called cyanosis). Also, the vocalist repeats the line “I’m purple man too”. I know this probably isn’t the intended meaning, but it’s just what came to mind for me when I listened to the song the first few times.

Also saying how he wants to live in their skin, that makes sense to me. Didn’t even think about it that way

Awesome video dude, This LP was killer. Some seriously haunting songs, Grimace especially.

Ive waited for so long to see a reviewer actually go into the meanings of the album ❤

Awesome video and badass album. Just saw them live in SF. If anyone gets the chance to see them live, do it. They sound amazing and are super down to earth.

It's such a good LP. Really harrowing, brutal and creatively unique. I remember hearing 'Remove Your Skin Please, and was immediately hooked. Really good analysis dude. Have a sub.

This was an awesome video. I’ve been obsessed with this album recently, it hits me in a very weird way that I can’t really describe.

incredible breakdown of perhaps the most important music discovery ive made this year. thank you for the quality deep dive.

For me, similar to Daughters, its comforting to hear someone else sees the same shit I do when I look at this country.

This is why KZread is good. One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on here, well done

this is a damn good video

“Grimace_smoking_weed.jpeg” is one of the few songs that manages to make me both laugh and be truly disturbed at the same time

This was such a good analysis. Enjoyed your insight on what is probably a new favorite album of mine

Thankfully, and lucky for all of us, Chat Pile has seen such amazing success and support that they've been able to go on tour several times. I got to see them in SF at the Great American Music Hall, and they were brilliant.

Hearing the ending of Grimace felt like hearing the ending of Daddy by Korn for the first time. Corpse paint, spikes and edgy imagery doesn’t make scary music. *This* does.

Or something as early as The End By The Doors

One of my friends showed me Pamela in school and I didn’t think anything of Chat Pile, I listened to Slaughterhouse after but I never really listened to them fully. I didnt think someone would go in depth of Chat Pile.

chat piles instrumental work has quickly become one of my favorites ever. The Mask specifically will never fail to get me pumped out of my fucking mind, the opening riff is so damn good.

this rules man, great job

I really think you should listen to sprain “the lamb as effigy” its an extremely emotional rollercoaster which ends on a mental breakdown

This album is one of the few that has gotten a genuine emotional reaction out of me. As it played, I just stared at the cover and found myself getting closer and closer to an anxiety attack. That picture is so ugly and just gets uglier the longer you look at it. I started looking around my own town and noticing just ugly it is as well.

I loooooove this album & band. Funny thing is their sound is a hodge podge homage basically to 90’s bands such as The Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Big Black, Killing Joke, Unsane, Korn, Slint & Godflesh not truly a unique sound nor remotely original BUT it’s as good if not better than their peers. My fav band right now are Chat Pile. I wish they weren’t so in the public now doing shit like typical late 80’s early 90’s videos, their own beer. Cheesy shit that takes away from the mystery of the band. Musically they’re amazing. Visually they come off as a joke imo. Oh well they’re still great.

sounds like a 1000 other bands
