Diablo Swing Orchestra: Pushing The Boundaries Of Music (Updated)
Wed May 21, 08 06:44 PM | Category: Band Recommendation

 

 

 

Band: Diablo Swing Orchestra

Genre: Avant-garde Metal

Discography: "Borderline Hymns" (EP, 2003), "The Butcher's Ballroom" (2006)

 

When it comes to pushing the boundaries of the metal spectrum, Sweden's Diablo Swing Orchestra goes so far that you end up wondering if it is correct to categorize this kind of music as metal. Many adjectives are use to label the subgenres, but I think that the two more appropriate to describe Diablo Swing Orchestra's music would be avant-garde and eclectic.

 

Let's reviewed what the dictionary has to say about those two words:

Lords of Melody: Kalmah (Updated)
Wed May 21, 08 06:11 PM | Category: Band Recommendation

 

Kalmah - Swampsong

 

 

Band: Kalmah

Genre: Melodic Death Metal

Discography: "Swamplord" (2001), "They Will Return" (2002), "Swampsong" (2003), "The Black Waltz" (2006), "For The Revolution" (2008)

 

I listen to metal because of its variety and high standard playing (at least in good metal I mean). Other reason is that I can find an album, band or subgenre to make me company in any mood I'm in any particular day. Especially I love the bands that when listening to them turn the day a better one.

 

One of such bands is the extraordinary Kalmah, the lords of melody. Every time I listen......

Summoning - Stroghold a

 

 

Band: Summoning

Genre: Epic Black Metal

Originality does not come often in the metal scene. Although you can hear a lot of good albums, the sensation of "that´s been done before" always is present. So when I first heard the austrian band Summoning, it hit me right in the face with its totally innovative......

Gothic Models: Celleste D´Acide
Thu May 8, 08 01:59 PM | Category: SlideShow

 

Celleste D´Acide is one of my favourite gothic models. I couldn´t find much information about her on the net, except that she is 22 years old and currently living in Nuernberg, Germany. She´s a little more extreme looking than the previous models, but she´s astonishing nevertheless...Enjoy!...

My Top 10 Metal Drummers
Tue May 6, 08 09:00 PM | Category: Metal Musicians
              

Drums are a core instrument in metal music. By default the drummers in this field are forced to have a great amount of creativity and technical ability. I want to share with you what I consider to be the best drummers in the metal scene. They are musicians that take skills to a higher level and they continue to amaze me in every listen.

 

The features that I consider to form a great drummer are polyrhythmic drumming, variation, creativity and technical difficulty in the performance. As it is logical, most of the drummers in the list are from the technical/progressiv......

Women In Metal: Samantha Escarbe
Sun May 4, 08 04:21 PM | Category: Women In Metal
 

Samantha Escarbe is the lead guitar player of the extraordinary doom/gothic metal act Virgin Black. Along with singer and keyboardist Rowan London, she founded this Australian band back in 1995, gaining fans and critics praise since their first demo that same year.

 

She also plays the cello in the band's albums and she shares the weight of the composition with Rowan. Virgin Black plays an obscure and melancholic form of metal based primaryly in gothic and symphonic elements plus some clear doom metal influences (mainly in the slow tempo and oppressive, sad atmosphere).

 

Samantha's guitar playing technique is simple and effective.......

Technical Insanity: Necrophagist
Fri May 2, 08 01:27 AM | Category: Band Recommendation
 

Band: Necrophagist

Genre: Technical Death Metal

Discography: "Onset of Putrefaction" (1999), "Epitaph" (2004)

 

What happens when talented musicians mix brutal death metal vocals with neoclassical/technical guitar playing and progressive bass and drums? To find the answer one just needs to listen to the twisted german band Necrophagist. Resting comfortably in the elite of death metal, Necrophagist is one of the more influential bands around when entering the technical field. With only two demos and two studio albums at their behalf, they raised the standard line so high that nothing less than great musicians can say......
