The Daisy Anthesis - Rails

It's Monday. Labor Day Monday. And that can only mean one thing:

METAL! METAL!! METAL!!!

I posted a little blurb about seeing this St. John band a while back at The Capital, and they were awesome, easily one of the best metal bands I've ever seen live. I've said it a bunch of times, but let me re-iterate that screamo metal isn't my thing. It's unlikely I'll sit down and listen to their recorded stuff once a year, if that. Live though, I will happily check them out. They are true musicians and tremendous performers in person. Seriously, so see them and be entertained. I think they're actually just called Anthesis now, but frankly I like the original name better. Switch it back, fellas.

Killswitch Engage - Rose Of Sharyn

So apparently The Daisy Anthesis is playing at the Capital tonight, and it's not even a Monday. Those guys are intense and hopefully I'll get a chance to pop down and check them out, we'll see. Since they don't have any cool music videos... yet... I thought I'd post another wicked metal song by a wicked metal band. I'm not really into the whole screaming thing too much, but I find Killswitch Engage does a nice job of balancing it with some great melodic singing from frontman Howard Jones. If you want a good example of his "softer" stuff check out this one, also a great tune. So if you're into metal, head down to the Capital tonight. If you're not, head down anyway and hang with Rich Gloade at Open Mic. Either way, it's cheap drinks and a good time.

BONUS DEATH METAL!

The Daisy Anthesis - The Profound



Woooooooo! That's heavy!

Snot - Stoopid

It was another sweet metal show last night at the Capital. The headliners were The Daisy Anthesis from Saint John, and I have to say they were pretty impressive. They're a trio, all clearly talented musicians, and they have great stage presence as well. Expect big things from these guys in the future.

Meanwhile, Jarrett played some Snot, something I hadn't heard or thought about in a while. It was a great reminder of how awesome those guys were, and it's a damn shame that their lead singer Lynn Strait left us in a car accident in 1998. There was an air of greatness about them.

BONUS BEATS!

DJ Disciple vs Prok & Fitch - Redlight

Completely unrelated awesomeness.
