WARMACHINE - have we had a thread on these Canadians yet?

[JayKeeley]

Been listening to it again this morning -- it's good shit.

They're Speed/Heavy metal -- great lead vocals too (probably their biggest selling point, as has been noted in all the reviews).

Here's the band URL. They have samples so check out "Beginning of the End". Warning: it's catchy as fukk. Other solid tracks are "Safe Haven" and "Fate" but I'll do a yousendit later tonight.

Guest musicians are Dave Ellefson, Ralph Santolla (Iced Earth), and Harry Hess (Harem Scarem). The album was very good but their next one will probably be better so watch this space.

I've never heard these guys and they sound like my kinda metal! I'll be checking out that sample for sure.

yeah, I heard about them and listened to their demo like 4 years ago. Not bad, but they were not my cup of tea at that time. They lacked a lot of energy IMO, I don't know if it changed over time.

Listening to 'To Hell And Back' from the demo (clips from the new album don't seem to be working) - I can already tell I'm going to have this track stuck in my head for weeks. Loving the riffs, and this vocalist is great too. Two metal horn signs up. \m/ \m/

Looks like I should get some yousendit's from the proper album then!! I'm sure several people here will love this stuff.

The song "Beginning of the End" is pretty infectious too. Actually, overall they're just a good beer guzzling, heavy metal band with lots of 'balls to the wall' melody. It's just refreshing to hear SONGS versus a collection of RIFFS.

I checked out a demo sample or two -- sounds decent, but I agree with the Frenchman on this one... it's missing some of the balls and energy that this kind of music needs to keep my attention for more than a few seconds.

 

[JayKeeley]

Forget the demo -- wait for my jewsendits, trust me you buggers.

I've gotta check this out when I get back home
