Bringing the sickness back to San Jose
The Spartan Daily CA
Guitarist Dan Donegan plays long and complicated solos that even an untrained ear would appreciate. Donegan also creates the electronic aspects of the Chicago-based band’s music that make it’s songs not easily comparable to other rock band’s. The nu-metal genre which the music of Disturbed falls under draws its influences from classic heavy metal bands such as Metallica. The other featured band Sevendust takes heavy guitar riffs and the sweet melodic vocals of Lajon Witherspoon to create a sound easy on the ears. Their music is both soothing and heavy at the same time. There may be plenty of opportunities to whip out a lighter and sway it back and forth during their songs. Some of their other works are filled with crazy licks that make you want to show off your airguitar skills.
Show at Harpos brings together 20 metal bands for one intense night
Detroit Free Press United States
What other show can a band go to and play and have 19 other bands there that they can talk to?”While Detroit has plenty of metal bands of its own and has seen a few such as the Black Dahlia Murder go on to bigger things the scene hasn’t yet developed a signature sound. What it has done though is spread beyond the metro area to the western side of the state where some kids are eschewing a Warped Tour-style for the more demanding rigors of true metal even if they don’t necessarily appear to have been inspired by mid-’80s Megadeth. “Metal we love it because it’s a really talented kind of music” says Drew Kunkel the drummer for Grand Rapids young metal outfit Look Left Swing Right. “It’s brutal and we love the intensity of it. We all have our different reasons. I started off listening to hardcore alternative rock and then it just kept getting heavier and heavier and it came to this. We love playing music and this is the most intense kind of music we can play.

html’>Guitar Hero: Metallica will feature a different approach to the career mode. Your character (either created or chosen) is a member of a band that is following the metal gods from town to town in an effort to get noticed. As you successfully play more and more gigs the band will start asking you to open for them or hang out backstage. ne element of the career mode we liked (aside from more great animated sequences by the folks at Titmouse) was the ability to progress from one venue to the next by getting a certain number of stars rather than having to beat all of the songs. That way if you’re stuck on a song you can focus on earning more stars on the ones you can finish.
