Have you ever been at a birthday party so wild and heartfelt that you wished someone would just write a metalcore anthem about it? Victims Aren’t We All have done exactly that with their track “Mr Matt Tipping” – a full-throttle, Day To Remember-style ode to friendship, loyalty, and the kind of legendary nights you wish you could bottle up and relive forever.
This isn’t just another heavy song with a catchy chorus – though it absolutely delivers those in spades. “Mr Matt Tipping” is a celebration, a shout-out, an inside joke set to thunderous drums and riffs that hit like a shot of whiskey straight to the chest. The lyrics are loaded with the kind of personal, affectionate roasting only true friends can get away with. There’s talk of “mustard ribs,” “vampires that werewolf,” and even “re-constructive surgery will not hold back this man” – lines that are mysterious, hilarious, and somehow touching all at once. If you’ve ever had a friend who’s larger than life, you’ll feel it in your bones.
The vibe is pure party, but underneath the mosh-pit mayhem there’s real sentiment. The band’s love for Matt Tipping radiates from every line: he’s not just the “best beer drinking, smoke breathing, disk sinking, best friend” – he’s the glue that holds the crew together, the guy who’ll “build you a house or play in your band,” the living legend who never lets anyone fall. It’s rare for a metalcore song to feel this personal and this universal all at once, but Victims Aren’t We All pull it off with style.
Production-wise, this is a wall of sound in the best way. Every breakdown, every gang vocal, every sneering, shouted “happy fuckin birthday” feels like a present wrapped in distortion. By the time that final chorus drops, you’re ready to throw your arm around the nearest friend and scream along.
The verdict? “Mr Matt Tipping” is the new birthday anthem for headbangers everywhere. Pour up a double, rage with no shirts, and celebrate your people the loudest way you can!
