5FDP - The Bleeding

Back in the early days 5FDP was a legit good band.  They weren't too "bro" and they had a solid angry sound that really majorly killed it.

This is one of the songs off of the first album when Ivan Moody was still kinda singing like he was is Motograter, which is a really good thing.  In my opinion, this was probably his best sound he's ever had.  It was raw, unpolished, and had this punch that you just can't beat.  Unfortunately the band has moved past that point, so we'll not get to hear this anymore.

I'm really not sure how this song is supposed to be interpreted, because it almost sounds like an apology song, but then it's an I hate you song, and then it's just a pile of confusion.  It's kinda weird, but I can dig it cause it's super powerful feeling.

Motograter. The band that invented an instrument.

Motograter is a band you probably haven't heard of, and if you have you probably didn't have a large attachment to them.

Sliding in during the whole Nu-Metal scene in 95, these guys have a couple of interesting things you should know about.

1. They invented a freaking instrument called a Motograter, which is a couple industrial cables strung up with a pickup and smacked with sticks.  Look up a video, it's interesting.
2. Their singer (for a time) was Ivan Moody, currently of Five Finger Death Punch.

So the thing I like about these guys is they have a really unique sound.  I really don't care much for a lot of Nu-Metal bands, but these guys were one of the bands that made it through my filter.  Their sound is really special cause of that instrument I mentioned.  It helped them to stand out from all the rest of the generic angry bands.

Now without further ado, "Suffocate".

It would really be nice if I could pick the picture that shows up...
