All Shall Perish is a 5 piece deathcore band. I just recently got into these guys and then the lead vocalist goes and joins Suicide Silence, lol. They're a pretty good listen Eddie is a pretty darn good metal vocalist too, his words are clearer then some metal vocalist and pretty heavy at the same time. I've been listening to A Pure Evil, Procession Of Ashes and Black Gold Region. I've been listening to both albums but I find myself repeating those songs the most.
Deftones is by no means "underground", but I figured I'd cover them...because, who doesn't like Deftones? Not really much to say about them besides they're an above average band, um, Chino can sing, the band can play their instruments really well. I didn't really know what to blog about today. So enjoy this classic.
A Lot Like Birds is a post-hardcore...or I dunno. These guys are pretty amazing, though. Kurt Ex-Vocalist from Dance Gavin Dance is in the band. Their new album isn't pretty "heavy"...not heavy in metal terms anyway. They released the most beautiful album I've heard all year, honestly. It isn't really metal, it's a soft and poetic type of album. I love it, great lyrics, wonderful musicianship and it all comes together so well. My favorite song has got to be "Shaking Of The Frame". I had to blog about these guys, because this is some of the most poetic music I've heard for awhile, it paints such a image in my head. When Vocalist Cory is yelling out vocals and lyrcis such as: "Like frantically rifling through all of your keys. There's no wind behind you but something's moving the leaves." or "Although we left in a panic, I took a look back at the house, saw it turn on its axis and vanish. The dust enveloped the sky, the splinters fell to the earth, swam deep in the soil and came back to life. It survived! It survived! It survived."
I can feel the passion in his voice. I can only imagine what the band put into this album, I can tell a lot of thought and emotions were but into it. They aren't really metal and this album isn't really hardcore, but if you're open minded I'm sure you will be able to appreciate this album for what it is. I'd seriously suggest checking these guys out.(Not really sure why this part is showing up as copy and paste, but I did type this part out. Only above are the lyrics.)
After The Burial is a 5 piece "djent" or progressive metal band. After what Sumerian says 3 years of no new material they've released a new single "A Wolf Among Ravens". It's a pretty decent song, but I find their old stuff better. it's groovy, the tone is great and it has a pretty tight solo in the song. The solo and the outro has to be the best part for me. If you like bands such as WhiteChapel, Winds Of Plague or Intervals then these guys are probably right up your alley.
Protest The Hero released their 4th or 5th album named "Volition". I haven't really listened to much of it yet. But the first 3 songs are pretty tight so far. The first song named "Clarity" starts the album off pretty strong. Protest The Hero has been one of my favorite progressive metal bands for awhile. Their melodies are JUST so good and pleasing to MY ears. I haven't been disappointed by the first 3 songs and i'll listen to the rest later this week. I'd tune into this album.
