2 Bands You Dont Know About That You Need To Know About If You Love Metal.
I’m back again. Sorry about being so lazy. The long weekend got me then some God forsaken scratch throat headache disease side lined me pretty bad yesterday. Enough about that though. Today i will share with you 2 bands that I am pretty sure you probably don’t know and you definitely need to know. I am going to start with Birmingham Alabama’s own Nymphotomy . Why this band has not been grabbed up by a label or booked for some big tours is beyond me. This is one of the most face pummeling bands i have had the pleasure to listen to. I cant fully classify them as straight death metal but that fit pretty close to that category in a lot of ways though. They also have a lot of progressive/tech metal influenced shining out as well. It doesn’t really matter what you classify them as because whatever it is that they do, they are doing it very well and you are doing your self an extreme injustice to your own ears if you don’t hit that Myspace link and check them out.
Band number 2 is another middle Tennessee band that while i have been aware of their name I have only recently gotten a chance to hear them and I wish i had come across them sooner and I cant wait to see them live. The band is Error 51 . After watching some videos of these guys it is very apparent they love to give a real show and not just stand up there and stare at you. The whole band decks out in full black light reactive makeup and garb and load the stage area up with plenty of black lights and various other things to give a real visual show to go with the music. Kinda reminds me of Crossbreed but with way better music. Check this video“5 Across The Eyes” to get a feel for what they are all about. They are a little more straight ahead grooving metal than the last band. Quite differing in styles but both bands deserve a little extra attention. Go check them out!
