A Persuasive Reason - US Symphonic Metal

[Hammerlock]

Just discovered this band tonight, and after one listen to their EP on ReverbNation I am seriously impressed. I was unable to find any single songs on youtube for the song of the week thread, but you can listen to the entire album here: http://www.reverbnation.com/apersuasivereason/songs

"Destination" and "Sandstorm" are my two favorites, give it a listen!

Hi Hammerlock! This is TJ, bassist and founder of APR. Thanks for posting about us here. Also what is this song of the week thread and do you only use youtube videos for this? We are very glad that you like the material. We just received a very nice review from one of the webzines. You can read it here: http://www.femmemetalwebzine.net/2013/06/17/a-persuasive-reason-a-persuasive-reason-ep-2013/

We are currently finishing 7 song to complete the EP to a full length CD. My drummer is Dana Burnell from Crimson Glory and we needed the EP to submit to promoters for 2014 festivals in Europe and South America. So since you like those 2 songs, I think you will be quite happy with the remainders.

Thanks again and keep rocking!

TJ

The song of the week thread is a thread on here for posting new releases. It's rules are limited to a single song per band, so youtube is the kind of standard. Since there was no way to post just a single one of the songs from ReverbNation on there, I made the thread instead. I'll look forward to the new material!

A PERSUASIVE REASON Featuring CRIMSON GLORY Drummer Dana Burnell Finishing Work On Debut Album

In two behind-the-scenes videos, Burnell and bassist TJ Jones talk about the project and recording of their debut album, Spire. The second clip features Burnell presenting his drum kit set-up:

Sounds intriguing (especially as I love symphonic heavy metal) - will have to give it an actual listen when I get back home.

EDIT: Okay, got back home and listening to this. I really like it and also look forward to hearing some more material on the debut.

Sounds good. Don't really get labeling it as symphonic, but sounds good regardless.

New material still in progress. I sent Dana a scratch with click for a song called 'Lighthouse' a couple of days ago. This popped up on my phone this evening while he was working on it at his studio:

Dude, this lighthouse intro gets ridiculously difficult at about 2:23 into the song. DAANNGGG!!!!!!!!!! lol

@2:23 of sketch ...into the main song Lighthouse. lol I've got my work cut out for me for sure! hahahaha

Actually 2:36 is where things get insane! LOL

He wanted some tough time signatures and changes, so our guitarist Ale tossed him a good one. 4 tempo changes in there too!
