plugging relatively unknown band(s)
killswitch engage! one of the only bands i've been introduced to this year and been truly impressed. here's an excerpt from allmusic.com about them that is pretty damn accurate and eloquent, IMO:
"This is a pure metal album that seemingly has ignored any fashionable trend and instead relies solely on skill and expertise to sculpt some of meatiest heavy metal since the glory days of Metallica and Slayer. Injected into these chaotic hardcore/death metal hybrid songs is an undeniable sense of melody that flawlessly enhances every track, and instead of turning Killswitch Engage's permanent heavy sound weaker, this melodic accompaniment only goes to make you realize how intense and exhilarating the band is when they explode in an inferno of enraged brutality. "
their songs that i've come across are free of guitar solos (unfortunately, i suppose) but the guitars are hardly one dimensional like most new metal i've come across. there's acoustic arrangements, heavy rhythmic stuff, melodic heavy stuff, the gamut (sp?). anyway, check them out!
anyone else excited over a new band?
