RE: Metal keeps going and in the Metal Tree there is a New Wave of American Heavy Metal - [Metal Tree: 26]
Well, it's about time lol!!! I hadn't heard Darkest Hour, I like em...Also Shadows Fall- really tight musically, I'm impressed. I like the black group (also about time, I think 20 Pound Sledge was getting lonesome).Killswitch and LOG I've followed for awhile. Didn't one of the guys from Lamb die recently? I'll go back and listen to the others I haven't heard...just wanted to drop a line.
One left to cover to complete Sam Dunn's chart. Then I'm going to add one on Neo-Classical, and I'll probably add one on Djent, and possibly some one for some old bands that didn't make it on here, but were kind of different. Then I'll likely cap it off with a post listing ALL of the episodes in one place and what bands are in each. Yet since I ran past the 30 days that I had that I could edit the original post the pressure off to push them out rapidly was off. So I slowed way down intentionally.
I'm interested in the neo-classical... sounds right for an old guy!
Djent is mostly the youngin's giving a name to a technique you and I have heard a bunch of. So when I cover that you might enjoy it as well.
I'm looking forward (Looking forward to getting Tavistock done as well so I can move on to Hannah Arendt)
Yngwie Malmsteen is an example of neo-classical. Likely the most prominent name in it. So it is not a new thing, just something that wasn't on Sam's tree.
@richq11, No, all members of Lamb of God are still alive and well. You might be thinking of a few years back when the singer, Randy Blythe, spent some time in Pankrac prison in the Czech Republic on manslaughter accusations resulting from a fan's death at a show back in 2010 when they played in Prague. Or.... perhaps the death you're thinking of was that Wayne dude Randy was keeping in touch with and that Lamb of God wrote a song for during the recording sessions for their most recent album, "VII: Sturm und Drang". A song called "The Duke", which didn't end up appearing on the album but did get released on an EP some months back in memory of Wayne who passed away from some type of cancer. Though he wasn't a member of the band, Randy did get very close to him as a friend before his death. Very moving story if you ever have a chance to look it up.
