I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like. I have no clue what it is about but this song makes me jump off my chair and yell.
I grew up on a hay farm in northern Minnesota so I know all about lifting heavy bales.

This song is still going hard!
People compare this song to Zeppelin. Fair comparison, but its taken another step ahead in that tradition. Playing this song in 1969 may have actually scared people.
This song sounds like whiskey tastes!

It's a reference to his Catholic upbringing. Heavy bells represent the church. Black folds and beard represent the priests.

i think he means he is tired of ringing the church bell
i love this because it makes me think of a village driving off a horde of ancient horrors and defeating them by ringing thousands and thousands of bells
Its about him being from a catholic home,and the type of music that he loved.

My boyfriend sent me here. I gotta say I felt that metal move, as well. It hurt a little. Liked it alot.
Just heard this song for the first time a few minutes ago on the radio. AWESOME!
for the longest freakin' time, i had no idea what the hell he was saying on the chorus. I honestly thought it was "heavy bass." So there I was singing the wrong words, "A HEAVY BASS! A HEAVY BASS! A HEAVY BASS! OH, A HEAVY BASS!"
Man, this is some fucking rock and roll. This band had better get huge.
He sounds like Caleb from Kings of Leon with a Led Zepp guitar riff... This is my song for the summer!
Hell's bells, yes, please and thank y'all.
This dude's voice... It's like, so unique, it's got an interesting... I can't really say. But it's so haunting, the way he sings the sort of soft and somewhat melancholic first part, then it explodes into that badass scream he has. I also really like the whole kinda Led Zep kinda vibe they have. I really hope these guys get their props. Because they got some good stuff going on here, and they got some real talent. I mean REAL talent.
Effing Rad! C'mon guys, this band has HUGE and obvious Zeppelin & old school Souther n Rock influence through and through.
My great taste of music brings me here...
I highly recommend seeing these nuts live...great show!
Kings don't have this soul.... thank God J business is here. fuck yah!!
For those looking to get some meaning of this song, I'll try my best to explain: His mama knew who he was and how he feels, his daddy tried to stop him from being who he is and almost succeeded. The "muscle hollar and a moan" is his own way of describing his singing. "Black chords" and "black sound" are references to his music in the eyes of those that dont approve. The "catholic" tone is used possibly as a religious reference, but mostly to describe conformity in life OR other types of music. The "heavy bells" represents his kind or style of living and music (tolling out of tune) according to the norm. "You're gonna wake up" and "Toll their tune for you too" are expressions of his plea for you to be yourself and get rid of conformity. "Black sounds upon his folds" references the folds of sheep (conformity) being threatened by his music which takes form in the "nerve hound" or wolf. Chop talking is a hunting reference conerning the wolf hunting the sheep...meaning his music hunting down conformity. Blood and honey are the spoils of consuming conformity, which he has come to fear. I hope this helped show why this song will last forever.

Naw, he's talking about the heavy bells you hear when you smack one straight into the main line.
It's like Kings of Leon and AWOLnation had a love child....and the child was beautiful.
I had a good chuckle at this...accept my thumbs up.
My favorite artists are Jack White, KOL, Led Zeppelin, and Nirvana and this song is ALL of them combined with a dash of modest mouse, AWOL, and rolling stones. I LOVE it!

I have this song timed on playlist to hit just around mile 3 of my run when I'm hitting the big hill on 13th. Every single time it drives me into a frenzy and pushes me up that hill top speed. I love this fucking song. Never stops zapping me with adrenaline when I need it. Possibly my favorite heavy song of all time.
WOW real rocknroll. i thought this stuff died in the 70's love it
This songs reaches down deep inside and pulls out that which makes us all want to emote
Wow. This song kicks azz! And great job to who ever made the video.
Fuck I love this band this song has been stuck in my head for a few weeks now my gf tired of me walkin around whisperin heavy bells haha
Kings of Leon 2.0 ;)
Love it! Raw! Reminds me of the 70's!

heard this a little more than a month ago around midnight on rock 100.5 when they do their 'just coming out' segment. cranked that shit up and went searching when i got home. definitely hear kings of leon, nirvana and led zeppelin. damn good listening.
Thank you Grace! Awesome tune.
I can not stop listening to this song. I heard it on the radio like 4 hours ago got home and searched it and haven't stopped listening to it on repeat. Ive never heard of these guys but they have restored my faith in rock n roll. They make me miss the old Kings of Leon
lol when you're watching the lyric video but still doubt that's what he's saying an dont understand the song for shit but you still love it .. Yeah that's a good song (:

Had an awesome teacher named Mr Hudson that brought me here, best teacher ever, every time I listen to this I drink a beer in his honor regretting I never got his email to message him once in a while
Every so often a band will come along that restores your faith in rock&roll…..this band has done that with this song especially 🖤🥶be safe out there
Thank you so much for this, until this afternoon, I had no idea what they were singing, but i was sure the lyrics aren't "all hail happy meals." no matter how much it sounds like that.
This record is smokin'!
once again spotify proving its worth and helping me find my next favorite band!!!! these guys ROCK!
This song rocks. Can't wait to see you guys in SF.
I have no clue what this song means...."Chop talking in the night"????? Got to work on hearing it. But DAYUM!!! LOVE IT!!!
rock and roll! Merry Christmas with heavy bells
I like the song but even the production on this video was excellent. Great job.
Ain't dat my 'Murica!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
i fuckin love that chorus,this guy's voice is so epic!
This shit is the business! Man so glad we got some cooks playing actual instruments Cheers guys Much love
Can't wait to buy this record! Not the .99 download bullshit! The $20 record, if 40,000 people thought like me you might make $880,000
whoever gave the thumbs down must be a lady gaga fan
These lyrics are real poetry, comparisons with other bands emerge, other genres too, but it's real. I hear some Reggae, Zeppelin, Gideon Smith and the Dixie Damned etc...but it's original too. This guy is good.
Hahaha what an awesome video. I didn't know you could have so much fun just with lyrics.
Love the rhythm and vocals on this song. Have no idea what the fuck those lyrics are about but who cares anyway right?
I have tinnitus because of this song. To keep the sound from waking the neighbors I'd place my computer speakers up to my ears like headphones dozens of times. I love this f&cking song, could not get enough in 2013

These guys rock hard, but classy, they should be waaaaaay famouser
Seriously can't stop listening to this. Good stuff! Love the whole album.
Can't wait to see these guys in KC in a few weeks.
I heard this song for the first time about a week ago and couldn't tell if I liked it or hated it. I liked the music but the lyrics... and then the screaming. I couldn't understand much of anything he was saying to even search out the song. Thanks to the time change the playlist on the local rock station was all screwed up so I couldn't find it there either. FINALLY today I heard it again, grabbed a pen and paper and scribbled down anything I could understand which wasn't much. Google came through and I found this video. After listening to the song and reading the lyrics several times there is no way in hell I would have ever figured any of it out. The more I hear it the more I like it now I know what hes saying. Just wondering why in the last minute of the song they don't have everything hes saying between ALL HAIL HEAVY BELLS..
Just an insane song that I can't get enough of!!!
When I first heard this band, I thought it was kings of Leon
I remember hearing this song on the radio a few years ago and instantly falling in love with it. Had to figure out what it was called, but found it and immediately bought it on iTunes. Three years later and it's still an amazing song.
all it could be it is...blastin song, man, right on!!!!!!!!!
wonderful song to wake neighbors up to. hahahahaha LOUD!!!
I think we have a new king of rock n roll
This deserves more views.
so stoked on this right now!
This band rocks so hard!!! Come play a show in anchorage, alaska!
This Song Rocks... Great New band...
