This band has a very up tempo sound with an almost fantasy tune which gives excitement to any song they do . dragon force is a British ban who kicked of in 1999 from a big city called London. They have 5 studio albums in which are track of the week comes from there latest album.
now i promise not to mention Newport helicopter owe i just did. union black came out in 2011 by are good friends skindred. The Reggie rock combo band. 1st song that most people will know about is the song warning. This song was made even more famous after skindred hit the main stage in 2011 at download festival when yes they invrented the Newport helicopter. This album also features songs like dum rift, gun talk features lyrics talking about gun culture and crime and gives a valuble and strong lesson through the word of music .
hahahahha i am back and ready to tell you all the latest bin going on in this rock metal world of mine. as you can see ive bin round west of england checking out a few gigs. 1st gig i went to was at the fleece place called bristol. seen this amazing metalica band crazy sounds just like the real thing. then i went to Weston grand pier to check out this band called enter shikari never herd of them up to this point bloody amazing. Anywaz metal mashers ill be back next week with some more news what ive bin up to keep rocking metal mashers.
My gig review this weeks comes from an unlikely source yes Weston grand peir held absolutely amazing performance from enter shikari one of this years second stage headliners at download festival. This gig also featured hactaivist which put on an ok performance. I have to say up to before the main event shikari the gig was amazing Weston super mare grand peir had one of its 1st mosh pits. was a classic rock gig
enter shikari came on stage and from there the average 700 fans were blown away. it even featured moments like one of the guitarist going up on a ride on the pier. the gig was truly a 360 experience. Weston grand pier is used to being lit up with lights and attractions but nothing like what enter shikari brought that night the lights and the music combined put on a show that you would never forget dont forget to check them out on tour.
This weeks band to watch is one of a kind band from the west country called terminal moraine. This unique band plays an old school trash grove metal sound which makes the audience walk away thinking wow. The band features Dylan on vocals rhythm guitar , Tom on the bass , Alex on lead guitar and of course the one and only Ben price on drums. the band is influenced by allot of acts such as slayer , Metallica , iron maiden and of course black Sabbath. this band is growing in popularity putting on an amazing show where ever they play. for young band they have quality.
Despite their youth, the lads have been working their way up on the gigging circuit, carving out a reputation as a hot live band with a commanding show having played numerous gigs around the Bristol area, most notably the prestigious Fleece and Louisianna venues. A typical Terminal Moraine show includes a guitarist who seems physically unable to remain in one place for more than a second; playing so fast that you can’t see his fingers. The singer commands the show with a strong, clean voice and a quick wit. The bass player is reminiscent of Rex Brown, not moving around a whole lot but in possession of a commanding presence, fat tone and a solid style, with a drummer who plays with such fury that he looks constantly on the verge of spontaneous combustion! No Metal core posturing or Death core crabs in sight, this, then, is a young band proud to be at odds with the trendy metal of today; hoping to prove that looking to the past for inspiration is always the better move! written bye (terminal moraine) The band are currently working on there 1st ep and will be playing at boom fest this year in June. lets hope in 10 years time they will be playing at download fest in June we can only wish them all the best.
