The Ghost Inside

Though I'd try and balance it out a little, and post some HEAVY METAL! from soft pop to this, I said I would cover a range of music.
I haven't been listening to these guys long, I first found out about them when they were announced for Download Festival (Seen as though I'm going I analysed every announcement thoroughly) when they were announced I genuinely didn't know who they were, as far as I was concerned I had never listened to them before. Then, one day when I was listening to them on Spotify something clicked... I remember I saw a band  back in 2011 supporting 'A Day To Remember' on the Eastpak Tour in Manchester (England) that had ghost in their name, after a bit of research I discovered it is the same band! so I had gone from 'never listening to them' to 'Oh wait I have seen this live' I don't remember much of the gig but I can remember every band that played were incredible live as that gig acted as a catalyst in my listening to heavy metal career...
ANYWAY, about the band. They'awesome. Simples (Meercat voice(If you are unaware of this, search compare the meercat)(best advert on television)) They combine absolutely mind bendingly good 'shouting' vocals and heavy guitar riffs/ basslines to produces monstrous tracks, pretty much all I can say other than, when I listened to this 'Engine 45' my jaw physically dropped after about 4 seconds...


Well here it is :)

 Let me know what you think!
Ps- Their latest album 'Get what you give' is a corker. I'm always listening to it on spotify.

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats

Last post of the night, I just really wanted to write about these guys. These guys are another band who had hidden Identities but they have now released who they are. At one point they played no live shows, they were just a studio band and magazines like Metal Hammer questioned whether they actually existed. Before the band released there true identities they were simply named "Uncle Acid", "Kat" and "Red" They have participated in an interview with Metal Hammer (which is in this months edition)where they released their actual names! The genre this band fit into is kinda psychedelic metal/ doom metal. They have a very unique sound, sounding a tad like Ghost (Ghost B.C) and Black Sabbath. They like to sing about dark things... similar to the bands I just mentioned, so I suppose you could say a lyrical theme of this band is Occultism (Spoookkyyy). In terms of material they released an album last year called "Blood Lust" which is incredible! I listen to it on Spotify all the time. They have recently released another album (Like yesterday) called "Mind Control" which is also another great album! They have been announced to play Download festival and I think they and playing third down on the third stage, I will definitely be there (Sorry Motorhead) So my plan is Run from Alice in Chains and catch Uncle Acid. The combination of guitar and bass in this band create some monster riffs and some bad-ass Basslines! which I am a massive fan of, and the voice of "Uncle Acid" is fantastic! really unique, only persons voice that comes relatively close is "Papa Emeritus II" and that is still a million miles away. Anyway my favourite track is off of their first album...
I love it! Wicked track, let me know what you think.

Turbowolf

WOW! Never listened to these guys before I saw them support Cancer Bats at KoKo. They were incredible. Basically, I think the lead singer is Jesus, just look at him, he is the coolest man ever. I really don't know what genre I would put these under but hear goes, they are a: Electronic Psychedelic Punk Metal band from Bristol, UK.
Ok, the frontman (Chris Georgiadis) keyboard skills are not fantastic, and the tunes he blasts out on the keyboard are very simple but they sound incredible when mixed with the whole song. The guitar and drums are good too. But Chris' vocals are out of this world, he had so much energy on stage too. He told jokes, he was so appreciative of the crowd.
I dont normally like it when smaller bands cover my favourite songs because sometimes it feels like bands try to get big off of bigger bands songs, but Turbowolf's version of Electric Feel is mind-blowing! It feature on their album which came out last year, which is simply called "Turbowolf" (On spotfiy, but i'd recommend you buy it)
Here is my favourite song...




Tell me what you think :) 

Motionless In White!

This is another new band to me, I heard about them in the Metal Hammer magazine, they had an awesome write up so I thought I'd check them out. Anyway I spotifyd :S (Have I just invented a word) them when I got home, and I really do like them. They are a heavy metal band from America (AND THEY'RE PLAYING DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL!) They have been known to experiment with keyboards and they feature at the beginning of my favourite song by them.

I like the sound the band creates in their latest album "Infamous" and I do recommend you listen to it. Their first album is a little different however, seems to be a bit heavier, I still like it, It features a cover of Rob Zombies "Dragula" which I really like! :)

Anyway this is my favourite song..

Tell me what you think :)

Brutality Will Prevail

I won't lie,  I had never heard of these guys before they were announced as support for the Cancer Bats on their UK tour. Brutality Will Prevail (BWP) are a heavy metal band but as well as some badass vocals they have conjured up some monster riffs! I even bought a BWP t-shirt at the gig I thought they were that good. The band had so much energy on stage, jumping around, the lead singer was mental! I don't think he stopped jumping once.
I had only really listened to one song before I saw these that was called "The Path" which is off of their latest album "Scatter the Ashes" (Which is on spotify, give it a listen) I absolutely adore the introduction in this song, when they played it I was banging my head like a giddy kid.
If you're into heavy music you should definitely check these guys out...
Here is my favourite song...
