Obligatory Metal Sub-Genre!

So, Christmas is over... back to business! I'm really trying hard to find time to update my blog regularly again. So, when I was doing some research for a Christmas-related post I found some videos of a band doing metalcore/deathcore/death metal/who cares? covers of Christmas tunes, and the vocals were AMAZING. The band is called I Declare War and they... well, they look kind of ridiculous.

Why the fuck does every metal band have a picture like this?

No, seriously, with the black clothing and the black and white picture... screw it! Anyway. Their music is pretty normal for a band of a -core genre. Loud weedly-deedly guitars, a bass you'll never hear, and a drummer working overtime. That being said

JESUS CHRIST, THE VOCALS!

There is almost nothing I love more in metal music than gutteral, deep, skull-crushing vocals. Squeals? Eh, they're nice, but I can do without. Growling? Closer! Satan roaring after drinking a whole quart of milk, eating a block of cheese, and smoking a whole pack of cigarettes?


So, without further ado... God Has No Place Within These Walls!

  4. Great comment on the photo. I like some clean vocals to counter balance the bellowing though. Trivium are good for that.
