Audible Crew.

If you get the meaning of the title, 10 points for you. If you don't, then might as well not try. Oh well, here we go.

I first heard this band back when I started to get into metal, which was around 3 or 4 years ago. I first heard their Eden Fire album and it blew me away. I then continued to listen to their second album, Only Inhuman, and it brought me total satisfaction. After that, I heard their latest album Love and Other Disasters and that was the only album I would listen to throughout all of last year. I couldn't get enough. That band is Sonic Syndicate.

Sonic Syndicate is a melodic death metal band from Sweden.

Before you start to think "Oh pfft, it's a band where they yell and scream the whole time and you can't understand anything," you should check out some songs first. Yes, they do have a couple of songs that do that but they also have their share of ballads. For example, the song Contradiction from their latest album talks about past regrets and memories that are trapped in your mind and have no way to remove them. This song will help you in a time of need. Other times, when you just want to get up and go insane, you can listen to Lament of Innocence or Hellgate Worcester. In general, Sonic Syndicate packs a punch and can kick your ass whenever you need an ass kicking.

Overall, I give this band 8 out of 10. I would give them 9 or a tad higher, but they have one disappointing fact. The band is made of 6 band members, 2 vocalists + 2 guitars + drummer + bassist. In their last 3 albums, their main vocalists was Roland Johansson, but due to touring issues, he had to leave the band. When that was announced, S.S. fans all around the world were crushed. We all loved Roland's harsh vocals and realizing he left broke us all apart. They now have a new vocalist, Nathan James Biggs. I guess he's a good replacement, but he isn't Roland. Biggs still does a good job taking the spot as lead vocals. There has been 3 singles out that has Biggs singing, and I guess he's a good replacement.

So, check this band out if you want to spice up your music variety, it's worth it. Visit their website, http://www.mngmusic.net/sonicsyndicate/index.html , if you want to know more information on this band. You can also buy their 3 albums, Eden Fire, Only Inhuman, and Love and Other Disasters in their website. Their new album, We Rule The Night, will be released August of this year.

Well, thats all for this band. Again, if you want to start punching walls, listen to this band, it'll get you hyped up and actually do it. They're also a good band to listen to while working out, I know from experience. Well, until next time, goodbye.

(P.S. I might as well end each post that the finisher. Eh, whatever.)

Anamanawhaaat?

Everyone has played video games in their life time. Whether it be the GameBoy or even the Xbox360. But...what if you use an NES, hack it, and make music from it? Well, that gets you:

Anamanaguchi, (for those of you who do not know how to pronounce it, it is anah-manah-goo-chee), is an 8bit chiptune band that, and I quote from their website, "makes loud, fast music with a hacked NES from 1985."

I first heard of Anamanaguchi two years ago when I was bored of listening to the same songs I had in my iTunes. I was thinking to myself "Why not spark things up a bit?" so I was in the search for music. I used the website Stumbleupon.com to encounter the website 8bitpeoples.com, a place where you can download 8bit/chiptune music, and it caught my attention. I searched for artists and I ended up with a couple of interesting albums to download. I was only judging by their album cover and I saw Anamaguchi's Power Supply, their debut album. I downloaded it, heard it and just fell in love.

Their first song Sting Operation in their album got me hyper, and that's when I officially declared Anamanaguchi of being one of my favorite bands. All their music is so uplifting, but if you want a song to perhaps "chill", you can listen to Flora/Fauna. It's not so hyper, but you can still feel the Anamanaguchi style throughout this whole song.

As for their new album, Dawn Metropolis, I for one thought it was a decent album. Some were dissapointing, I thought certain songs could have been a bit better. But, they're are some songs that get you uplifted. Their single Dawn Metropolis can get you happy in the worse mood, if you want to get up and jump around, you should listen to Danger Mountain, but if you would like a very 'fist-pumping' song where you can definitely expect people to enjoy, listen to Mermaid.

My personal favorites are Helix Nebula from their first album and Mermaid from their latest album. If you want to know more information about this band, visit their website at Anamanaguchi.com

Recent news from the band, they will be doing the theme for the upcoming video game Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.

That's all I have for this band, you should check them out, seriously. I will see what I will review next. Well, until next time, goodbye.

(P.S. As you can see, I have a banner, thanks to one of my friends. I will still be working on a finisher.)

(P.S.S I would appreciate if I received comments of your views of this band. Thank you.)

So do I call this the beginning?

As you can see from my "About Me", my name is Omar, and my purpose for this blog is to tell an audience my point of view of any song and any band. I might be a little biased, so don't go cussing at me if you don't like what I say.

My taste consists of mostly metal but I will change up my views in order to make my posts as unbiased as possible. But this is just a warning, if you seem to not like a review, it is mostly because I am being a tad too biased, or you're just a pissy little bitch.

In advanced, I will post up reviews every other day. I would like for people to tell me what they would like for me to review. It could be any song from any band or just the band themselves.

Well, that sums up my first post of this blog. My next post will be either later today or tomorrow, so expect some band to be reviewed, I've been thinking of explaining my point-of-view of a certain band for while so that will be my first official music review post.

Until next time, good bye.

(P.S. I'll be working on a banner for my title and a finisher to close my blogs, so thats just a little heads up.)
