White Metal Shred

[fm81]

Since the whole Korn/Christianity thing is potentially volatile,I thought I'd post a few other bands that Welch will have to familiarise himslef with in his new lifestyle.Some of you Jemguys might like them too though I'm not sure if any of the players are Ibanez endorsed...

Mortification: their recent stuff features Jeff Lewis and Mick Jelinic who both shred.

TourniqueT: Guitarist Aaron Guerra has recently rejoined the band is a fairly strange player: super-cool speed picking and overall rhythm play.

Extol: Their Synergy album is a crazy time signiture workout: defintely worth checking out.

Zao: Their new album is very original and catchy while still being heavy and melodic.

Lengsel: their album Solace is indescribable.


Maybe there's something here that'll give Head a better direction musically...and maybe some new sounds for you guys.

Dude, you gotta check out the new breed of christian metal:

Fasedown(www.fasedown.com)

-Featuring Mike Phillips, formerly of Deliverance; plays intense groove thrash that'll make Dime smile in heaven! They don't sound like most christian thrashers cos they give you immaculate production values that's just crushing! For fans of Pantera, Machine Head and a little bit of Messhuggah thrown in.

The Showdown(www.theshowdown.com)

-Think Unearth/Killswitch Engage/Bleeding Through or even Arch Enemy with killer Pantera/Southern breakdowns! Produced by legendary christian metaller Bruce Fitzugh of Living Sacrifice.

As I Lay Dying(http://www.asilaydying.com/)

-Meshuggah meets Gothenburg thrash!

Also check out Disciple, Winter Solstice, The Agony Scene, Beloved, Gnashing of Teeth and Cripple Need Cane.

These cats have redefined the christian metal sound; What used to be a low-budget and amateur-sounding genre have now been transformed into a major force in the music scene.

Cheers!
