Dawn Of Ashes

Do you like that industrial/aggro tech/death metal music, with lyrics over filled with gore, hatred, and death? Welp, I have the perfect band for you. These guys are very dear to me, because once I found them, I instantly grew an attachment to them. Introducing Dawn of Ashes, a band of genius. With their earlier work, they were more aggressive industrial music, whereas later into their careers, they decided to go more death metal, and let me tell you, either way they go, they're still amazing to me. Although I love their industrial stuff to the max, I'm liking their transition into the death metal scene. So If you like music either in the aggressive industrial field, or the death metal music in the other field, check out these guys. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. :)

Songs currently posted are:

-Bring Forth The Cremation 

 -The Filth Coated Heart        

                      -Carnal Consummation in the Empty Space

 -Harvest the Impaled            

Note that obviously these songs are under their new death metal stuff. If you're not too interested in this, check out their earlier work. Look 'em up on Google and you'll be able to find it. Two of my personal favorites of their industrial songs would be Abyss and Where Angels Die. Check them out for yourself, and as I said before, you won't be disappointed. :)

New Tactic to Posts: Revised

In the previous note, I said I was going to start posting multiple bands in each post, every time... I lied. I'll do it for some, other times I'll do individual band posts. Why have I decided to take back what I said? Because I thought about it, and I kind of like the way the archive for this blog looks. :P
Plus, it'll be 10 times easier to look through past posts and through all the bands with their names listed as titles compared to a genre title that might not have that band in it. Get what I'm saying? I hope so, because I almost confused myself. 
A second reason would be due to the fact that I love giving individual posts to bands that I think deserve it. Writing individual posts for bands makes it more meaningful I think. :)

New Tactic to Posts

Alright, I'm going to try a new and different way of posting. Instead of doing one post for each band [which I somewhat liked to do...] I'm now going to incorporate multiple bands into one post, every time. I'll stick to one genre/style for each post. I figured I'd do this just for the fact that I'll get more bands up and there will be more music to hear. I'm still only doing bands that I enjoy and think are worth promoting. A little harsh? Perhaps, but I don't want crappy bands getting any limelight when they obviously suck. Who wants to hear crappy music played on the radio 5 times an hour? Oh wait, that already happens.
Enjoy the music guys :)

Floral Terrace

Floral Terrace is native to Haverstraw, New York. Ahh, New York, the state of finance, art, entertainment, and International Government. It looks to me as though New York is living up to the entertainment part. With amazing guitar and drum talent by members John and George, member Justin produces excellent vocals for all the songs. Not only do the songs have good instrument talent and a nice voiced singer, they also have excellent lyrics. There are some bands that have an awesome sound, and an awesome singer with a great voice, but once you listen to the lyrics, they actually totally stink like an outhouse in the dead of August... Yeah, thank god these guys aren't like that at all!

Their songs currently posted are:

 -Something Better

 -City                    

                 -First To Leave                    

                    -One Shot Clover                   

Even though all of these songs are amazing, I'm going for One Shot Clover. It was the first song I heard from them and the first song I fell in love with for these guys.

Me, The Mirror

Me, The Mirror shoots out from The Windy City: Chicago. Apparently, according to their myspace, they are making arrangements with labels even before they played a single show. This honestly isn't hard to believe at all. Listen to their music and trust me, you will totally understand. In conclusion, if you're one who is into that teenage style music, with the hot/goregous guys and their somewhat whiny voices, you will enjoy these guys. Even though there are 3 guys in this group, this was the only image with more than one dude in it that I could find [sorry Mat McLaughlin].
The songs that are currently on their myspace are:

                        -The Machine Made Me

                                          -Morning in the Middle of Your Eyes

-Vagrant

As I said before, it's not hard to believe that these guys are making arrangements with a label even before they played a single show, because honestly, they are really, really good. Thus, I can not pick a favorite song; all three of these songs are truly amazing.

Myka,Relocate

When I listened to these guys, I instantly thought of Hot Topic. If you're wondering why, just take a listen for yourself.
Myka,Relocate is a 5 piece entourage from Lafayette, Louisiana. Not only does Louisiana make excellent hot sauce, it also produces amazing musical talent! The vocals have a whine to it, yet there is a touch of screaming. It's not all just screams and whine though, it's actually really good singing. Some synth bands have no vocal talent at all, whereas even though these guys use some synth effects for some songs, that's not all it is. Singer Scott Badon has true singing talent [in other words, his voice is amazing]. If you're a drums fanatic, a guitar lover, or just a music lover in general, these guys will settle your cravings for all of the above. They play a mix between skinny-jean-boy-band music and hard rock influence. I'm no instrument expert, but from what I hear, these drums are amazing, these guitars are outstanding, and this bass connects it all together perfectly, like glue to a magazine picture collage.
The list of their tracks that are on their profile at the moment are:

     - So Civilized         

                           - The Most Spectacular of Events

        - ...And of Monsters

     - Hot Apocalypse
- Directions     

  

I'm going with their song, Directions. The name really appeals to me and the sound is to die for; I can't get enough of this song!

Summerlin

Do you enjoy pop punk rock music? If so, I'm pretty sure you'll dig these boys. Shooting out from Leeds, UK, Summerlin is made up of 5 fun guys [just look at the picture, there's an inflatable whale and squirt guns!] with up-beat and catchy music. I actually just came across them tonight and instantly I was like "BAM! This is good stuff!" What more can I say about their music other than it's some good shizz? Housing three of their songs on their Myspace, these guys show great potential to make it big in the scene kid category of music. The glitz and glamor of the pop/punk/rock scene looks pretty good for these young fellows.
Their songs that are displayed are:

                 -I've got a Future and You're Not In It

-Between Seas and Lovers

-Watch You Dance          

     

Honestly, I can't pick a favorite out of these. There are those bands where sometimes you can't tell the difference between each of their songs, that's not the case for these guys; all of their songs are individual and down right awesome.

The Greatest Heights

The Greatest Heights is a group of guys producing music from Las Vegas, the city of lights, entertainment, and fine dining. Though they only have one song posted on their Myspace, I can tell you now that I would love to hear more. They have an amazing rock sound from the guitars, drums and bass; added to the rock, there's a pinch of emo whine to the vocals. I proclaim them to have serious talent potential. Not only is their song easy to instantly like, but so are all the guys. Everybody knows it's always great to find a band with great music, but a plus when the members are real lookers. :)
Their song currently posted is called:

-Directions

Don't worry though, if you get attached to this song [like I am] you won't have to wait for long for new music. According to their Myspace, new music is coming soon! I for one, am truly excited!

Gun Barrel City

Gun Barrel City is a group of young talented men from Wisconsin, the state of cheese, binge drinking, and the Green Bay Packers. They mix together the sounds of pop, rock, and hardcore, evenly distributing the styles and creating such a great mix that one might mistaken it for the music of the heavens. The singing reminds me of The Used, whereas the instrument parts sound like every other scene heart throb band. To some, that might be a bad thing; on the contrary, I really enjoy the sound.

There are currently only 2 songs posted on their myspace. The 2 songs are:

-The Myth Is True

-Zug Loves Rudy

Both songs are great, but I think my top choice between these two would have to be The Myth Is True.
