01. Nectar of the Gods
02. City of Gold
03. My Evil Arms

[Beware production bigots: This is underground, self-released, bullet belt wearing, top hat & corpse paint, half naked sluts, coffins & skulls, jack the ripper heavy metal]

I saw this band supporting THE IRON MAIDENS (yeah, that all girl cover band) a few years back. Apparently they've since released a full length CD. This is total heavy metal worship: beer guzzling, flamboyant theatrics, stage props galore, even if they're playing in some hole-in-the-wall in front of 20 people, it's all one big unstoppable metal juggernaut.

Thing is, the music speaks for itself. Dual guitar harmonies, galloping basslines, and surprisingly good vocals. It's a five man band, they all live in NYC, they play all the time down in the village, and it doesn't cost more than $5 to see them (and a whole host of other bands).

He's talking about Rochefort 10.

This is definitely good. They are good at what they do...BUT...They just need to incorporate more Gods of FIre into their music. If you know what I mean.

About fucking time someone starts recommending good, actual METAL music.


edit: I really like how they go into that epilogue at the end of the song.

 

[JayKeeley]

Sure, but remember it's only an old demo you're hearing...

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yeah, because that's what you frickin' uploaded.

You just gave me a great idea for a recommendation. Now I have to scrap my initial plans...

Ace stuff - love the harmonised guitar work, I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff when it's done well. The vocals are pretty good as well, be interesting to hear that debut full-length to see how these guys have developed. Thumbs up from me.

 

[Chromatose]

yes sir, I like it. now that's metal

This song have been lurking somewhere in back of my head for a couple of weeks now and the obvious conclusion is that this rocks, a lot actually. Its extreme cheesiness does, for some reason unknown, not put me off. A really cool recomendation, but too bad it seems to have been pretty much over looked
