ANVIL w/ THE ELECTRIC BOA

Canadian icons ANVIL have experienced a resurgence because of the critically-acclaimed/surprise hit movie “The Story Of Anvil.” At the forefront of heavy metal, their landmark album is “Strength Of Steel” and since their ‘81 debut “Hard N' Heavy” the group - co-founded by singer/guitarist Steve 'Lips' Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner - has been listed by many as one of the creators of the thrash/speed metal genre. They toured with the likes of AC/DC and newer waves of metal bands claim Anvil as a prime influence. 'Anvil was one of those bands that just put on this really amazing live performance' - Velvet Revolver/Guns N' Roses guitarist Slashrn'These guys were going to turn the music world upside down.' - Metallica drummer Lars Ulrichrn'... great band - I always liked Anvil' - Motorhead singer/bassist Lemmy

February 01, 2012 @ 06:30pm - Iced Earth, Symphony X and Warbringer

Iced Earth

Iced Earth is an American power metal band that combine heavy metal and speed metal/thrash metal genres in their music. The band was formed by Jon Schaffer, the lead songwriter and rhythm guitarist, in Tampa, Florida in 1984. The original name of the band was Purgatory but was then changed to Iced Earth. Iced Earth’s music is often described as the style of Iron Maiden combined with 80’s thrash metal. The most distinctive element of the band’s sound is the stuttering right-hand gallop of rhythm guitarist Jon Schaffer, which sounds something like the ‘eighth-note, two-sixteenth-notes’ gallop made famous by Iron Maiden’s bass player/songwriter Steve Harris (in such songs as “Run to the Hills”, “The Trooper”, and “Caught Somewhere in Time”), varied rhythmically. Overtop of this gallop are typically laid strong melodic hooks, sometimes doubled by two guitars playing in harmony. The vocals are often high-pitched, but express a full range, while the rhythm section uses thrash and power metal techniques such as double-bass-drumming to keep the speed and energy high. Iced Earth’s drummer is known for his frequent use of drags and flams on the bass drum.rn

Symphony X

Symphony X is an American progressive/power metal band from New Jersey founded in 1994 by guitarist Michael Romeo .Musically Symphony X is similar to, although heavier than most other progressive metal bands to which they are commonly compared: Dream Theater, Fates Warning and Pain of Salvation. They play in a very syncopated, progressive fashion, also incorporating elements of symphonic metal into their sound. Their music contains strong neoclassical elements in line with the music of Yngwie Malmsteen, Randy Rhoads and other influential neoclassical metal artists.rn rnrn

Warbringer

Warbringer is an American thrash metal band from Ventura, California formed in 2004. Current members consist of John Kevill as vocals, John Laux and Adam Carroll on guitar, Andy Laux on bass, and Carlos Cruz behind the drums. They have released two full length studio albums, the latest being “Waking into Nightmares” in 2009, which was produced by Gary Holt of Exodus. Along with their animated live performances and lyrics detailing war, violence, and death, Warbringer’s aggressive sound is reminiscent of 80’s era thrash metal and thus the band is commonly associated with the “thrash revival”.

Overkill

Overkill is an American thrash metal band, formed in 1980 in New Jersey. They have gone through many line-up changes, with singer Bobby 'Blitz' Ellsworth and bassist D.D. Verni remaining from the original lineup. Along with Anthrax (whose one-time lead guitarist, Dan Spitz, was also an early member of Overkill, the band is one of the most successful East Coast thrash metal bands. The band has a notable mascot named Chaly, a skeletal bat with a skull-like face, bony wings, and green eyes. Chaly has appeared on most of their album covers. To date, Overkill has released 15 studio albums, 2 EPs, 2 live albums and a 'covers' album. They were one of the early thrash metal bands to sign to a major label (Atlantic Records, in 1986), though Overkill would not achieve commercial success until they popularized 'thrash' in the late 1980s with their contemporaries Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Exodus and Testament. The band achieved its biggest success with their 1993 album I Hear Black, which debuted at #122 on the Billboard 200 charts, the band's highest ever chart position in the United States.
