FIRST TURN- TOUCH ME (ALBUM REVIEW)

Here is a hard rock fused band along with the likes of straight up metal. Tearing it up all the way from Texas is this band known as First Turn. Their sound is like a combination of Thrice, Thursday & Matchbox Twenty to name a few. If you're into the bands mentioned, then you'll love First Turn and come to find out, the band is unsigned at this current time. I can definitely see this band getting on the Billboard charts someday possibly. First Turn will definitely be one band that can gain fans instantly based on their unique modern sound for hard rock. Some of the songs I had found to be their best are Lupita Chavez, Something To Believe & The First Night. I normally don't review bands that sound like some mainstream artists, but this band had made me feel good just by being themselves and they're awesome dudes to party with, and I am giving First Turn a 5/5 stars because of their originality and musicianship. This band some would think as "EMO," but on an honest opinion; they're NOT like that by any means. They are definitely a band that I consider to be really talented in a post hardcore kind of way. Well, as said before, it may not be Death Metal this time around, but if you're into hard rockin' metal, then this band will totally make you a believer that they're awesome. So everyone, until next time, keep those horns up!!!!! \m/-_-\m/ EVILVENGEANCE666

ALL THAT BLEEDS- A DAY OF RECKONING (DEMO REVIEW)

How many bands use 8 string guitars? Take this 4 piece band from Texas known as All That Bleeds who does that along with a 6 string bass that will deafen ears, vocals that will crucify you and drums that will hit you like an oncoming freight train. Hailing from El Paso Texas is where you'd find the ferocious and brutal band, All That Bleeds. In a way, the vocals and guitars remind me of new school Death Metal and a bit melodic too like Devildriver and early Gorgasm to name a couple. The song Dead Cell Battery is one to get people moving to start a pit, but if that doesn't happen; then you're lame.  Only kidding of course, but this band pummels, rips & shreds unlike some bands in the underground scene to make a NEW listener a fan INSTANTLY. ATB is guaranteed to get heavier as time goes on, and this EP is getting a 5/5 stars from Underground Noise. Although not many bands sound like All That Bleeds, so friggin' what! This band will engulf you and then spit you out. Having shared the stage with the likes of Revocation, The Faceless, Smells Like Someone Died & Soulfly to name a few, this band is one to look out for.  So metalheads, that does it for this review. Until next time, keep the UNDERGROUND ALIVE, KEEP THE METAL ALIVE & MOST OF ALL, KEEP THOSE HORNS UP!! EVILVENGEANCE666 \m/-_-\m/

SMELLS LIKE SOMEONE DIED- PASSAGE TO HADES (EP REVIEW)

With claiming their own style which can be described as Funeral Thrash, this West coast Texas band known as Smells Like Someone Died infiltrate the listener with some Thrash Metal riffs & vocals, along with some groove and some Death Metal growls too. SLSD in some spots sound like Cannibal Corpse vocally like back when Barnes was in it and a tad like Devildriver a little bit. The ambient intro called Funeral Cacophony is quite impressive for those who like ambient sounding keyboards and effects. Even seeing them LIVE will show the fans that SLSD is capable of ripping them a new one. Overall, this band has shared the stage with bands like Psycroptic, Abigail Williams, All That Bleeds, Plagues & Origin to name a few. Smells Like Someone Died is a band of dynamic sounds within their talents and I can definitely see this band growing on someone just by the first listen. So if you like bands like Devildriver, Cannibal Corpse & Origin, then I MUST recommend Smells Like Someone Died, and if they don't get you moving to their beat, then you are doing something totally wrong! This EP gets a 5/5 stars based on their musicianship and also their own creative way of coining their own sound. Until next time metalheads, keep the Underground Metal scene alive, keep supporting METAL & MOST OF ALL;  ALWAYS KEEP THOSE HORNS UP FOREVER!!! EVILVENGEANCE666 \m/-_-\m/

I AM THE TRIREME- UNHOLY (EP REVIEW)

If you're into symphonic sounding black metal/ death metal, then I Am the Trireme is just for you. Coming out of Philadelphia PA is this amazing 5 piece band. Striking compositions that are moving, catchy & most of all original. Featuring sounds for fans of Dimmu Borgir & Dark Tranquillity to name a couple. Poisoning screams that attack like a snake. This 5 song EP has very good potential and I can definitely see this band growing on the listener as they hear something NEW with a bit of some old school sounds as well. Personally speaking, my favorite song off of Unholy would be I Am Many. Which happens to be an old track taking from their previous release in 2010. Talk about some great musicianship and brutal, that song is killer. The double bass drums are low enough so they sound great without having to sound like popcorn unlike some bands have been doing for a while now. So metalheads, this EP gets a 5/5 stars and it's quite great to hear NEW bands that are doing what these guys are. Until next time everyone, this is EVILVENGEANCE666 telling y'all to keep those horns UP!! \m/-_-\m/ SUPPORT UNDERGROUND METAL!!!!

THINNING THE HERD- OCEANS RISE (ALBUM REVIEW)

If you like Corrosion of Conformity, then you'll love Thinning the Herd. This band is a great combination of stoner metal & hard rock fused riffs and beats that will get fans to endure what TTH is capable of. A little bit like Black Label Society & Alice in Chains too in some spots. The album is guaranteed to reach out to those who are accepting of this style of music. Forget the mainstream, the underground music scene is much more exciting anyway. Raspy vocals at times, striking drums & a bit of groove to their riffs is what makes this band unique. Thinning the Herd can mellow out anyone even if they're not into stoner metal. I'd have to say that I like the whole album and can't quite place a favorite song on it. I highly recommend this, and I give it a 5/5 stars for being of superb quality and the production is very excellent.  They are a bit bluesy, might I add. The sound isn't too overwhelming like some bands can be nowadays.  Also to add, I want to grant my condolences to the family of the band's former drummer who passed away and the members of the band as well.  Anyhow metalheads until next time, this is EVILVENGEANCE666 saying KEEP YOUR HORNS UP!! \m/-_-\m/ KEEP THE UNDERGROUND ALIVE!!!!!

DAEMONIUS- SELF-TITLED (ALBUM REVIEW)

If you like bands such as; Belphegor, Behemoth & Immortal...then Daemonius is right up your alley. This 5 piece band hailing from Las Vegas New Mexico is an amazing & talented blend of Black Metal & Death Metal. Catering to new and old fans, Daemonius is a promising band that won't disappoint. If you see them LIVE, you can clearly see and hear that they are perfectionists at what they do. They pull off an amazing cover of a Dark Funeral song and trust me, even though they didn't include it on their debut album, they kicked its ass LIVE. Daemonius punishes the listener by bashing in their skulls with striking drums, fervent guitars & bass & vocals that will lacerate your soul into dust. Their songs are very avant garde kvlt and raw. However, some may agree or disagree that the vocals sound a bit distorted, but whatever...Daemonius is a tight band for the LIVE performances they do and what they do in the studio also. Anyhow everyone, this album gets a 4.75/5 stars only because I think the vocals could have been a bit better due to them sounding distorted, but other than that it's a great debut album regardless. So metalheads across the world, keep your horns up and support your local music scene & support the UNDERGROUND!!!! EVILVENGEANCE666 \m/-_-\m/
