Finally, a Blind Guardian DVD has arrived, and the band has pulled out all the stops, if not for loading up a DVD, at least for presentation of a live show.
Long Island metalcore, predictable sameness of vocal and guitar tone and style, but just a hint of Dark Tranquillity melody amidst the mindless chugging.
Collects the beloved hardcore giant’s rarest efforts, from covers to b-sides to live ditties. Sick Of It All’s anthems advocate unity, compassion, and optimism.
It’s a Slapshot record. They’re from Boston, they’re old school, straight-edge, and absolutely predictable/reliable. Here are seven more songs by them.
The “re-vocalizing” of Crowned in Terror. Original vocalist Johan Lindstrand proves he’s more dynamic, urgent, and emotive than the ex-At The Gates dude.
Here’s a band that’s firmly entrenched in the hardcore ethos of scream and blast away, but is happy to mix in a healthy portion of ’70s arena rock riff-o-mania.
