Devil in the Details

There's nothing quite like seeing the energy you can feel through the music. And that's why you put together a live music video, so that people know you go buck-wild when you perform. Another great thing is when the video is done well, not just a bunch of clips put together to your music just for the sake of doing it.

The band Devil in the Details from Omaha, Nebraska (confirmation there is something in Nebraska worth seeing) knows how to put some energy out there, do they ever stop? Its great when a band comes together and actually tries to do things well.

Other than describing this as energetic, its metal-driven punk sound is killer, and I actually enjoy their use of clean vocals, I usually just tolerate most bands.

Set Sights for South

Bridge Burner.

That puts a thought that says, "I'm moving on from this, connections were lost, and shit happened."

That is what this song by the South Orange County band, Set Sights for South is all about.

I used to hang out with the guitarist/vocalist Tommy, several years ago now though. And I'm glad I've followed what he's been doing because it is good.

The band has been working hard at writing and recording for the upcoming EP Life Support, playing shows all around their area, and pumping out jams all at the same time.

Please enjoy this, follow them, and see them when they come to a venue near you!

Momentous

There's something about a "call and answer" that really just gets me hooked into a track.

Listening to "Dark"
By the Austin, Texas band Momentous. A very fitting title for this song, for sure.

Every riff makes you bounce and bob along, well executed changes in the melodies.

I also like that the introductory notes stay on, almost like "Dark" is telling a story.

together PANGEA

I was scrolling through my Facebook one day, and the regional weekly news had posted about this band that was coming to town called together PANGEA. And I thought to myself, "that's a weird name, I'll check it out." and I watched the music video for "Snakedog" and found myself bobbing along to it, until the first guitar solo came in and I was hooked INSTANTLY.

Formed in 2005, the LA band has released their third full-length album titled Badillac and Jesus "Crab Fishing" Christ is it a good album.

They tour and play shows like goddamn machines, and its probably only a matter of time until they release another album (fuck)

But they just released the music video for the title track "Badillac"

You just know they were obliterated the whole time, and that's perfectly fine with me just keep on doing stuff like this.

And that will do for now.

AN ESCAPE FOR LOUIE

I'm going to do something different that I'm hopefully going to keep going, and that is posting covers that bands do that I like. And I really like this cover.

This first one is coming from Cros De Cagnes, France, and they are An Escape for Louie with a fantastic cover of Britney Spears' "Toxic" that is just like I said, fantastic.

If you're expecting to listen to one of those "pop goes punk" style tracks then prepare to be disappointed because this almost sounds like they wrote the track themselves it is that well done. The band's motto is "Play it loud for best result" and the results of this track are loud, heavy, and with the best results possible.

I hope to review other tracks by this band, and the band of the Vocalist that was featured in the track Of Aimless Glory sometime soon. 

Thanks for letting me review this, I wish you all the best.

Fake Messiah

I was expecting this to be one of those metal bands that has a female vocalist and they try to be Arch Enemy or something and add all of the clean singing and still be metal.

I did not get what I was expecting, this girl can scream, growl, and she can do it damn well. The band is called Fake Messiah, they are from Switzerland, and they are releasing new material and a new album very soon.

The song is pretty good, I am just blown away at how good this vocalist sounds, I recommend listening to this when you have a moment (or two)

Centinex

WARNING: This band is HEAVY. Seriously, if you suck and can't handle the heavy shit, get out while you still can.

With a name like Centinex, I was expecting something heavy, and alien sounding. I was NOT disappointed in the least. Something about a fast riff, and gang vocals really lifts my spirits.

The Swedish band is preparing to release the comeback album "Redeeming Filth" November 21st in Europe and December 9th here in North America. They have been a band since 1990, disbanded in 2006 and are now relaunching themselves at audiences everywhere!!

Upcoming shows:

25.10 2014 CZE - Pilsen - Phantoms of Pilsen Festival
26.06 2015 GER - Protzen - Protzen Open Air

I'm listening to the track "When Bodies are Deformed" from the upcoming record over and over, it sounds like Cannibal Corpse and Slayer had a baby. And I'm glad to have met this amazing offspring.

Check out Centinex and be sure to order the album "Redeeming Filth" available soon in Europe and the United States in just around a month now!

UPDATE: New tracks have been released, and I am getting stoked for the release of this album!
