Metal Battle

The Silverstein tune, though. I've never taken any time to listen to them either. The opening riff and beat made me wonder why, and then the first vocal section was decent. But then the Pop Punk vocals came in and kind of ruined it for me. I can't stand that vocal style. It just reminRAB me of how bastardized punk rock has become. Everything else though was pretty cool. 4.5/10

****. Not again!
 
Shadows Fall are the most average band on Earth. There is nothing bad about their music, but there is nothing that stanRAB out for me. This song seems to be no exception. 5/10.

Fast ****ers! Overkill gets a 7.5./10

Track from the new Fen album which might be one of the best releases of the year.

^Wasn't terrible....wasn't great. Kinda made me feel like they were just a sceney metalcore band trying to pull of a BTBAM sound without much creativity. I give it a 3.5/10

And with that...

They have to do a bit more to bust out from underneath the shadow of Sabbath...but it was alright. 5.5/10.

Quite technical. Had some pretty radical riRAB, and the vocals were decently hilarious. They reminded me of a less ridiculous version of The Locust. And the guitarwork was reminiscent of Meshuggah. 7.5/10

Buuut, I can't post URLs until I've made 15 posts. Damn.
 
the guitars and bass are good (didnt like the solo near the end though), and i like the vocals. didn't like that drum tone though, and overall it didnt feel too original. not bad. 6.75/10
