As Judgement Day Approaches

As Judgement Day Approaches
An up and coming band from Brooklyn, New York. They hold it down like a pro band. Heavy riffs, solid vocals, beautiful blast beats. Only band I know of at this moment rocking the SHIT out of G. If they had tabs up I'd do my best to cover them if at all possible. I must say that for an up and coming band they know what the fuck they're doing.

Plans

I am thinking about doing a little change to this blog. keep band reviews but in between the reviews i will put up some life messages and lessons.

Korn

Ok now KoRn has been around for ages and like most other bands that have been around for a while, they have changed. Although they haven't changed much. One of the most heaviest rock/hard rock bands I know of. They know how to blend a shit load of different genres and still sound good, its hard to do trust me.

White Rabbits

 This indie band has released two albums and they are pretty awesome. Good beats, guitar tracks, bass is surprisingly good as well. Confusing lyrics with underlying meanings and whatnot. All in all pretty damn good band. Apologies for the lack of detail in this review, had to keep it short due to school reasons.

Suicide Silence

This band is not for the easy listening folk. Suicide Silence punches you in the face with brutal vocals, guitars, and drums. Everything about this fucking band is in your face. Most songs are about rape and drugs and most people would say "that is a horrible thing to promote" and to you fuckers I say "shut the FUCK up :) ". People do drugs and have for thousands of years, get over it. As for the rape, every great band has made a few songs about this topic. One of those bands I already reviewed so scroll down a bit. Although most of their messages are generic this band makes me cum buckets.

Rise Against

The first time i heard this band was when I was a wee lad playing Need for Speed Underground 2 on my Gamecube. The song was Give It All. This band is your run of the mill Punk band but they somehow rise above the other generic punk bands and soar to new heights. However they had a pretty major shift in lyric content and meaning in the last couple years. I must say I am kinda disappointed. What once started off as badass "get the fuck up" lyrics turned into "hey guys look, we sing about the world now". Yeah the songs are still badass but it's no longer fresh. Still have some orgasmic guitar tracks, as well as drum tracks. As well as one of my favorite singers of all time.

Clutch

Alright so my comrade Rudy has been dying for this review for about a week now, so here it is. To be honest I have never heard of this band prior to this request and honestly I am quite disappointed in myself. I love everything about this band, yes even the beard. I'm not a huge fan of the whole Country Rock genre but now i might be. Beautiful guitar solos, riffs could use some work. Lyrics are easy to relate to. Singing kinda pumps you up to do something BIG (which explains my friends behavior). Drums are pretty solid, nothing spectacular, but all in all decent.

Sunn O)))

Ok so my buddy Steve asked me to review this band. So i checked a few songs out and to be honest, I'm not sure what the fuck to think. I have no clue if I like it or not. It seems like noise at first but there are subtle changes in notes. It's almost like if you were to take a guitar unwind the low E string (the fattest one for those who don't know) all the way down and crank your amp to max volume, kept strumming that string and fret different notes. I'm actually listening to one song now and it got progressively better. Still a bunch of noise but more tolerable now than before. Still confusing as FUCK though.

Nirvana

Oh Nirvana. Complete bliss. An early 90's band that invented the Grunge genre. They released 3 albums in their short career as a band, Bleach, In Utero, and Nevermind. The band was going strong and then the bands frontman Kurt Cobain died of an overdose, i believe it was heroin. The songs, as catchy as they were, usually made close to no sense.

*edit: He killed himself, either way he died at a young age.

Metallica

Busting on the heavy metal scene breaking ground and practically birthing the thrash metal genre. Their debut album Kill Em All blended raw, uncut, in your face lyrics while laying down fast paced guitar riffs and neck shredding solos. When the band first formed they had Dave Mustaine in their line-up, but due to partying to hard they kicked him out. Then they enlisted Kirk as their lead guitarist to be a part of the Metal Militia. They went on to release multiple albums, eventually selling out and sobering up. The untimely death of their bassist shook the band, they replaced him with Jason and put out a couple solid albums but he eventually left because they hazed him too much (pretty big pussy right?) They then got their current bassist Robert and released about 2 or 3 sub-par albums.

Franz Ferdinand

Well this band is fairly well known. Releasing a couple albums over the years this band has put hard work into their songs. Lyrics wise not they aren't the most creative, and the riffs could use some work. All in all they provide a style of music most can enjoy and groove to.

Tool

What more can be said about this band that hasn't been said already? They blend the rock, metal, nu-metal genre perfectly. Favorite song has to be The Pot. The musical talent they have is outstanding to say the least. The bass riffs mixed with the guitar riffs is a thing of beauty. The drums are fucking mindblowing and the whisper singing along with the lyrics make me jizz my pants a thousand times over. I can think of nothing more to say about this amazing band other than buy/torrent their albums and have plenty of handi wipes by your side.

Incubus

INCUBUS!!! As you can probably tell by now I love this band. I haven't met many people that don't like this band. The lyrics, style, and musical talent this band possesses is incredible. One of my personal favorite albums is Fungus Amongus (see what they did there?) it blends rock, jazz, and some other genre (I think it's fusion) together to form one eargasmic album. Light Grenades was a bit of a miss but I liked it overall. There isn't much else to say about this band other than their fucking amazing and the underlying messages will blow your mind when you discover them.

Linkin Park

Ahh Linkin Park, a one amazing band has become stale. Got their start with an appearance at Ozzfest if i remember correctly. Releasing something like 3 or 4 albums and a few Ep's here and there, this band has been through it all. Some may think collaborating with Jay-Z was a balsy move on their part but it actually helped them gain a larger fanbase recruiting Jay-Z fans. Their most recent album Thousand Suns or something like that in my personal opinion was complete shit. Offended? Deal. It's my opinion. Anyway. Minutes to Midnight didn't really go over too well with fans, most saying "hey man, they sold out". However true that may be it's still a decent album. Of course it's no Hybrid Theory or Meteora but it's pretty damn good. Now Reanimation is their remix Ep/Album and I personally didn't like it that much. I found it unnecessary, remixing nu-metal songs and all. But people loved it all the same. I give this good ol' band a 9.5/10

Asking Alexandria

First review, here we go:
Asking Alexandra is a pretty decent post-metalcore band. They have some pretty solid screams and lyrics. However the overuse of auto-tune can be bothersome to some listeners. They currently have released 1 studio album entitled Stand Up And Scream, which i personally love and and EP entitled Life Gone Wild, which is nowhere near as good as the studio album which saddened me. It's filled with 4 or 5 covers and a demo of a song on their first album. Yeah, that's right, a demo that was released after the studio version. Most fans however already knew of this demo.
I give Stand Up And Scream a 9.5/10 and Life Gone Wild a 3/10
