A to Z 2K17: O is for Oh, Sleeper

Band: Oh, Sleeper
Song: Endseekers
Album: Children Of Fire
Genre: Metalcore

Oh, Sleeper are a Metalcore act from Fort Worth, Texas. They're one of my favorites in the genre because they represent the more crazy, chaotic side of the sound, (something a lot of other bands tend to shy away from in it's present form) but without compromising the melodic aspect.

Children Of Fire is an absolutely excellent album, from the writing of the songs to the mixing of each track. I mean, seriously, this album is one of my favorite mixes of all time, it's clear, it's heavy, and it's tied with Matt Halpern of Periphery for having the best drum sound I've ever heard. It's certainly my favorite snare sound, in any case.

Endseekers in particular embodies all the sounds that make the album great, which, coupled its killer intro, makes it an excellent kickoff to the album.

Guest Post: Deafheaven - Luna

Band: Deafheaven
Genre: Black Metal, Black-Gaze

Many rides to work have been spent hyping myself up for the day and destroying my neck muscles listening to this 10 minute long wall of sound and pure musical destruction.

"Luna" off of Deafheaven's latest record "New Bermuda" opens with the gnarliest riff and a sudden barrage of snare drum abuse. It's almost unrelenting at times, but knows when to take a chill pill at the right time. By chill pill I of course mean the band's signature "shoe-gaze" interludes that progress into the most optimistic guitar chords and thunderous percussion.

This band receives numerous awards and recognition for their near flawless records including 2013's "Sunbather" and they definitely deserve the attention of many heavy metal listeners.

Being able to witness their fine-tuned live set while supporting Carcass was an enormous pleasure as well as deafening...(haha).

What I'm about

I am Noah, king of casual english; One of those bloggers that just doesn't know how to string a proper sentence together to save his life. I really apologize for those of you that will hate that, apparently my honors in english just didn't stick.

I like everything from Satanic Thrash to Top 40s trash, so I'll probably hit on at least one song that you like someday.

Let's be real though, my main pull is Death Metal and Rap, so you'll see a decent amount of that since those are the two industries I mainly follow.

Schedule and Stuff

The posts go live at 12 am EST. If they don't, I probably wrote them the night before and fell asleep before actually clicking on the publish button. It's all good though.

Music wise I mostly pull from what I like. I'm totally open to suggestions in the comments, so if there's some genre you want to hear more of just let me know and I'll do what I can.

Some of this music might be offensive to you. Apologies, but it'll probably happen. Heck, 6 or 7 years ago I'd probably be appalled at what I'm listening to nowadays, haha

I'll try to always tag for language if the song has it though, so you can at least make sure not to listen to if around younger ears if that's something that concerns you.
