Australian Death Machine - Total Brutal

The hilarious side project of Tim Lambesis (vocalist of As I Lay Dying), inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

You won't find fantasy lyrics or overly poetic love lyrics. There are only forcefully chanted, testosterone-driven phrases that governor Arnold would approve of.

Bottom line, Austrian Death Machine is fast, pissed, brutal metal...

and every song has a guitar solo :D

Norman Bates - Plaguebearer


The band name caught my eye, because Norman Bates is the main character in Robert Bloch's novel, Psycho, a sick and twisted story based on the real life serial killer Ed Gein. So I downloaded this one on a whim, and I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't surprised either. The band lives up to their name. This is heavy. Their screamers are very talented, and the song structures are varied enough to keep me interested.

Veil Of Maya - The Common Man's Collapse


‘Veil of Maya’ is a common Hindu term. Maya is said to represent the illusion that is our everyday consciousness. This blinds us from everything’s true forms and intentions, hence the veil of maya. It’s like how the Earth turned out to be a big computer in ‘The Matrix’. Neo’s veil was lifted and he saw the truth.
Formed in Chicago, IL in 2004, Veil of Maya are part of the small group of newer American metal bands that aren’t following the typical “metalcore” pattern, instead churning out a sound that’s as technically proficient as it is brutal. And no, despite their name and many a foolish accusation, Veil of Maya is not a Cynic tribute band.

Upon first listen, this album blew me away.

Compelling. Dynamic. Brutal.

For fans of Winds of Plague, As Blood Runs Black, Between The Buried and Me, Orgone, Cynic, Meshuggah, etc. They are on tour right now, with some awesome bands. Check their myspace to see if they are playing in a town near you.

Ion Dissonance - Minus The Herd


Today's word of the day, from the Page-A-Day calendar sitting on my desk, is dissonant.

dissonant: adj 1: marked by dissonance : discordant 2: incongruous 3: harmonically unresolved

Ion Dissonance is deathcore/mathcore/technical metal from Montreal. They have often been compared to The Dillinger Escape Plan, Beecher and Meshuggah. They are known for their technical riffs which are played one over another, groove-like drum patterns and a heavy atmosphere. Their lyrics are quite disturbing, dealing with death, murder, more death, and somewhat more acceptable topics such as struggling with faith. Lyrically, I don't stand behind this band's decisions, but hot dang can they riff. Stand-out tracks include The Surge and Shunned Redeemer.

Like businessmen you squeeze every resource to maximize profitability.
Helpless followers in what seems to be a game of hide and seek, but you too will crumble
beneath her wrath
