turns dark

WHEN exactly did the "dark disintegrated sign of the horns and headbang" part come? I must've blinked and missed it.

When I think of "dark", this is more like it:

My song can beat up your song.

Heheh... props to them for keeping a straight face while playing that.

If you're insinuating that they can't really play those songs just like that in a live setting, then you've obviously never seen them play live. They do usually hire a 2nd guitarist for tours to thicken up the riffs and keep a rhythm guitar going while Trey plays the leads. I've always loved their sound, but especially since their 3rd album, Covenant. Pete Sandoval has a very unique sounding attack and style, and Trey's rapid picking and guitar tone transforms his guitar sound into something that almost doesn't even sound like a guitar anymore. Their whole Satanic image is a bit over-the-top, but their unique sound sells it flawlessly. I can't think of any other bands out there that sound exactly the same. Some come pretty close as far as drumming technique, but no one else plays a guitar the same way Trey Azagthoth does.

Or maybe you're just talking about the cheesy way metal bands tend to make videos where they play in flames and look pissed. Yeah. Death metal is still pretty "underground". I've seen a couple of decently financed death metal videos, but they were kinda "black metal" bands, so of course they stuck with the traditional crap.

Morbid Angel - Enshrined By Grace

Depredate, Restraint is not an option
This world has fallen, Now scorched and barren
The rage of lunatics, shall lead us nevermore
The hand, long forgotten, shall feed the blessed now

Arise our Golem Defeat this enemy
God strength upon the leach infested
Rise our ancient wisdom and bring your pestilence

Rectify, With haste your wrath awakened
Malfeasance, You scorn this world
Enshrined by grace, your shadow blinds the feeble
Disentail the noble few

Arise our ancient Golem Defeat this enemy
God strength upon the leach infested
Rise our ancient wisdom destroy this wasteland
Enshrined by Grace devour this presceance
Light the flame of redemption

You think that one was bad? Check it check it.

No, I just think it would be difficult to be that over-the-top without being ironic.  (In other words, push it a hair's breadth farther, and it might become Spinal Tap.)

If they can pull it off without irony, AND without unwittingly lapsing into self-parody, well... props to them.

Ironic how?

I'd forgotten about these guys. Hair Metal, but entertaining. I like the starts and stops of the song. Simple but interesting dynamics. I have no idea what the song is about...

I'm not into this type of industrial type dance sound. But there is something creative about this. I just can't put my finger on it.
MIA is Sri Lankin and the Indian type influences are everywhere. It seems to work. Some of her other stuff is really noise, atonal stuff with too much distortion. But she is original....

Down. One of my favorite bands. I love the bluesy jazzy hypnotizing sound of this song. This is why I love this group, even they all come from bands that stick to the traditional metal format, they aren't afraid to try different things and the end result of their studio work shows attention to detail and always sounds interesting. Moreso on their 2nd and 3rd albums, their 1st one was pretty straightforward metal throughout with a couple of exceptions.

And one more little odd instrumental interlude piece with a similar feel.

Saw this live last year in in Vancouver @ the Commodore Ballroom. Best concert I've been to and an absolutely amazing venue. Great for live acts. The floor bounces with the crowd.

The Prodigy - Voodoo People (Pendulum Remix)

The Prodigy - Voodoo People (Original)


I've been nostalgic and went looking for some old Front Line Assembly i used to listen to. Found a few.....

Nothing worth posting though.

Sounds like they have a  [F#m7th - B9th]  thing going on there. That's a standard jazz type progression. Followed by a key change by moving the same chord fingering up 2 or 3 frets. Then back to original chords etc.

Oooooooooooh found a good one. Totally on topic for once too, it's actually a video.

Stumbled across this band while roaming around youtube aimlessly. Kinda psychadelic sounding college radio-esque stuff.

You can download their entire album from their site. http://www.lowvalium.com
