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.
