Sounds of the Underground 7/10!
Sounds of the Underground 7/10!
Band Schedule was:
- Devil Driver
- Madball
- Throwdown
- All That Remains
- A Life Once Lost
- Unearth
- Every Time I Die
- Norma Jean
- Poison the Well
- Strapping Young Lad
- Opeth
- GWAR
- Clutch
- Chimaira
- Lamb of God
(If I missed any one or got them out of order I apologize in advance.)
All bands were excellent! Devil Driver did a great job of opening up! GWAR was a blood fest and they even brought up a little Tulsa history (race riots).
Strapping Young Lad was their usual twisted selves! Devin Townsend (ex-Steve Vai) is a great front man and Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel, ex-Death, ex-Testament) is a machine on the drums!
Maybe I'm just too old school, but Every Time I Die, Normal Jean, and Poison the Well were my least favorites. Especially Every Time I Die, this singer just got on my nerves so bad.
Opeth well, they were probably the mellowest band out of all of them. Would've been better if a different Swedish band would've been on instead: Meshuggah! And what the heck is "*** rock"? The singer called a couple of their songs this! LOL
Madball, Throwdown, All That Remains, A Life Once Lost, and Unearth are the new wave of the Underground! They're all good!
Finally, Lamb of God, I have to say out of any band that's surfaced in the past decade they bring the true essence of METAL back to the world! Yet, with their own, modern style! The band is just incredible on every song! Chris Adler is a freaking double bass motored robot!
