My friends, my enemies, friends of my friends, friends of my enemies and anyone who is left over; it's the time of the week. No, not that time of the week. The other time. Also I feel I should warn you tonight that I'm suffering from a bad case of writer's block. I feel like I'm forcing every word I type from my brain to my fingers. It's just an overall terrible feeling, and I must say that I feel for anyone reading this now. Without further to do, lets do that thing we do..No, not that either.
I will if I may start out with a band I miss. American Head Charge. This band was absolutely amazing. They were what rock was supposed to sound like in the industrial rock scene anyways. Big sound, great vocals. Unfortunately certain chemicals got in the way of the music and after the death of guitarist Bryan Ottoson during a tour the band fell apart. Truly a shame...Although I still listen to their music.
NEW STUFF
Ok slow week for music but some highlights...
Athlete's album Black Swan was released this week. This album has everything you wanna hear. From the moment I heard this band open for Switchfoot in 2005, I knew they were something special. This band has an incredible, well HUGE sound: rumbling bass laced with echo driven guitars and on top of that orchestra like synth. This band is actually very radio friendly and I would love to hear these guys instead of everything else that I keep hearing. Give it a listen. It'll make you feel happy.
Bullet for My Valentine has a couple new songs out. These songs are really good and very well written. I'm excited for their new album. Could be their best one yet and what I think they should have sounded like all along. The album should hit stores sometime in April.
Things to Look Forward To
Like I said its been sort of a slow week for music, but there is plenty to look forward to!
EMPIRES. These guys are the future of music. They just need to be promoted. They have released some new stuff for their upcoming album which will be released Tuesday. Their previous two albums set the stage for what is to be an excellent third release. They have matured and improved in their musicality and technique and with the howling vocals they are setting the bar high for the rest of the music world.
