Bravura - Battle Of The Suns

Band: Bravura
Song: Battle Of The Suns
Album: Battle Of The Suns
Genre: Blackened Death Metal
Bandcamp: bravurabandofficial.bandcamp.com

Yo, my dudes in Bravura dropped a music video on Saturday!

These guys released a fantastic album a month or so ago that I really loved. I was gonna post some stuff from it, but I figured I'd wait till they released a music video cause I knew it was coming sooner than later.

So first off, the video is great. It's honestly really freaking good. I loved it.

Second. The song is amazing. The guitar leads are freaking tight and the whole band clearly works well together. I've got huge bass player envy for their bassist too, he plays way too fast and I'm never gonna be able to match that.

Then there's Steve's vocals. This isn't the best example of what I'm about to say, but you can buy the album for cheap or stream it to check what I mean. But his vocal work just sounds straight up painful. Like, I don't know what he does to himself, but he just rips out this horrendous raspy wonderful noise and can still talk like a normal human outside of the band. Mad respect my man, that's intense.

Check it guys, and check the rest of the album too, it's solid work.

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.
