2009From Nu-Metal darlings to modern rock veterans. Hot on the heels of the impending return of “every-body’s favorite band to hate” Limp Bizkit I had to just had to refocus my attention on Nu-Metal bands this week. I figured a good way to do that would be to talk about a band that was immersed in controversy with the one and only Fred Durst during Nu-Metals glory years. I am talking about Taproot.

They are trying to get a feel and one up the next band it seems like they are all in competition to be louder and scream harder than everyone else and they are losing focus on the music. You know that whole loudness war I brought up before I pay a lot of attention to what bands are writing and recording up here. A lot of bands are more concerned with if their music is louder than the next metal bands than about the quality of the music. A lot of bands are trying to copy other bands that they here. Bands that are getting into black metal for the first time well their knowledge of black metal is limited to the last two Dimmu Borgir or Cradle of Filth albums. They don?t know anything about Mayhem or Burzum. They just take what they got off the shelf in the last two or three years and call it black metal.

“I’m not sure how to explain it to someone who doesn’t know all these sub-genres maybe dark atmospheric metal. But if someone doesn’t know the difference it doesn’t matter they can still enjoy it” he says from his home in a soft-spoken voice that belies his guttural yowls when he sings. “We don’t really describe our music as doom metal – it’s more like a combination of gothic and doom metal. We’ve been traveling on both musical directions ever since we started. It was after the Millennium when we started focusing on more of a slower doomier sound. But we’re getting back to our goth roots. riginally formed in 1994 Draconian has always been about emotion and the band’s fourth album Turning Season Within reflects its ability to combine ornate passages featuring Johansson’s vocals with walls of darkish riffs and violent vocal interludes to create a fusion that is as jarring as it is enticing.

When envisioning the North Texas group’s 2007 EP Universe songwriter Thomas Drinnen bought a converter so he could elicit sounds from an original Nintendo console. Creative? Definitely.
