28–Whether it’s poetry painting or the aggressive metal music she does with the band that bears her name singer tep Shamaya doesn’t mince words. A question about the inspiration for “Smash the Control Machine” the title track of the band’s new album yields a lengthy monologue about the atrocities of the Bush years. f course anyone could figure out that viewpoint from lyrics such as “waterboard the kids for fun it’s all the rage” and rants against greed and the religious right Shamaya who performs with TEP Saturday at Club Firestone says that the band’s political leanings are rooted in her experiences. “It ended up getting very personal for me” she says by phone from a tour stop in Syracuse N.

And both are in spirit reactive.

Metal is a form of music that is admittedly riddled with subgenres and usually only the lifelong fans can adequately detect or explain the differences. What is the layman to make of terms like death thrash speed black power or doom preceding the word “metal”? Does it really make any difference? Actually yes because these labels are widely accepted and they offer a clear expectation of stylistic leanings from the band in question. Bands that stray too far away from any one approach are. Purists will argue that there are far too many distinctions but most everyone can agree that the established and traditional labels were coined by bands and their fans. This is why the recent mutterings of a subgenre called “.
