 My music recommendations
DevilDriver has a different sound from everybody else. Their melodic approach to their metal is awe-inspiring. They remind me of Lamb Of God. So far, I have favored the sounds "Not All Who Wander Are Lost" and "Clouds Over California".
Dayum! Nile is teh shiznit! Egyptian death metal is brutal! Only thing, though...NO BASS!!! -gah!!!- There is no bass on this album! I listened!!! For hours!!! NO BASS!!! If they kept the bass then I would love this album more. No favorite songs as of yet, but I do like "The Infinity Of Stone."
Chimaira's latest album. It's nice and heavy, with speed and some intricacy. "Resurrection" and "Pleasure In Pain" are my favorite songs on this album.
LOG's first album, and it wasn't bad. I have the bonus tracks edition, though, so it's fairly newer. The riffs are heavy and get a little complex, but Randy probably took it over the top with the vocals; I can't understand a damn thing he's saying. The bass drums sound like a wet slap and it REALLY stands out. Overall, not bad. "Black Label", "The Black Dahlia", "Terror and Hubris in the House of Frank Pollard", and "Nippon" are my favorites on this album.
