Seventh Day Slumber has a new album......
metalmaniac777 replied to JLPRocks's topic in Christian Rock and Metal
These guys have gone heavier the last couple of releases and while they remain solid, I think they had better hooks back when they were not quite as hard. As for the lyrics ... from what I've read, they're gunning for crossover appeal in the secular market, which means dialing back the Jesus-speak in favor of vaguer topics. But Geoff is right when he states this album is just okay. I like it well enough, but it's nothing special. -
Sebastian Bach New Single... What Do I Got To Lose
metalmaniac777 replied to T-BONE's topic in AOR and Hard Rock
Assuming you don't mind the climate crisis/global warming message, that songs rocks pretty good. The album is shaping up to possibly be Bach's best solo effort to date. -
I'll concede that it's still one of their worst efforts--if not THE worst--but the abysmal production made it nearly impossible to enjoy the handful of decent tunes on the album. But yeah, even with this re-recording, there are only 4 songs that I bothered with. Maybe it's not "badass," as you say ... but it's better, and the 4 songs that I like are now listenable. (For the record, one of those songs is "Purify," which you clearly don't care for.) Every band has a low point, but this "St. (b)Anger" project manages to salvage something from the wreckage. But I think we're all grateful that Metallica moved past this moment and gave us better albums.

@whiplash1972, thanks for letting me know about this. You're right, I'm kind of digging it. Make no mistake, Bad City was better, but it's good to hear Caddy singing again, and of course, the Christian lyrics don't bother me at all.

Kalamity Kills - The Chemistry Of Meant To Be
metalmaniac777 replied to Dead Planet's topic in Music Videos
There are considerably better songs on the album. Well worth checking out. "Hellfire Honey" and "Anthem" are my personal favorites. -
Kalamity Kills - The Chemistry Of Meant To Be
metalmaniac777 replied to Dead Planet's topic in Music Videos
Solid band and arguably the best thing Jamie Rowe has done since his Adriangale days. -
These guys weren't even on my radar but that video has changed my mind. Good song, good sound, and it's got me interested in hearing the rest of the album.

Good God in Heaven, what did I just listen to?
-
Maybe not quite as awesome as the classic Bonfire version, but it ain't far behind. Nicely done, gents.

I'm a huge fan of Michael Sweet but you (and Glen) are not alone in this. While Sweet has pretty much fully retained the powerful vocals from his younger days, he has lost some enunciational clarity (yup, just made that up). At least half the time, I can no longer understand what he's wailing on about these days.
-
That latest single is better than the previous ones but still nothing to get too excited about.
-
As much as I like Michael Sweet, this is shaping up to be his worst project by far. Glad to see the guy is getting work--gotta be tough to make it in the music business these days--but he rarely seems to deliver good songs outside of Stryper or his solo albums. But hey, he still sounds better than Don Dokken...
-
Sure, it could have been better ... but I expected it to be worse.
-
Never heard of these guys but they remind me of My Darkest Days. Catchy little modern rock tune about getting laid, LOL. I liked it enough to download the single so thanks for sharing.
-
Hopefully you watched the unrated edition. It's so much better than the neutered PG-13 version they released in theaters. Not all horror movies need bloody kills to work, but this one definitely did.
-
That sounds like a run-of-the-mill hard rock song to me, hardly worthy of the Hurricane name. Any L.A. strip band from the '80s with even a modicum of talent could've cranked out that tune. Filler material at best, and that's being generous. I don't have high hopes for this album, especially without Kelly at the mic, and that single has got my hopes limper than a eunuch.
