After rustling someone's jimmies by tagging the Andrew WK - Party Hard post as #metal, I decided to take up the endeavor of showing Hubski one of my new favorite Technical Deathcore bands, Boris the Blade.
I first discovered this band by accident, actually. While suffering through a particularly bad depressive episode, I had a "fuck it" moment: I decided, impulsively, to go to an Oceano concert taking place that night, with supporting acts Boris the Blade, and Lorna Shore (another REALLY awesome tech-death band.) At the end of their set, I was so impressed I ended up chatting up their lead guitarist for a while. BtB is based out of Australia, and manages to have a pretty distinct sound in comparison to other deathcore acts (such as Whitechapel or Carnifex.) Even when performing live, these guys were obvious veterans to the genre; every note was on point, every knob dialed in exactly how they wanted, every nuance accounted for sound-wise, and they STILL managed to have the most energy on stage that night, which really blew me away. They also had a shirt styled after a Game of Thrones White Walker sitting on the Iron Throne, which I bought immediately after their set; it wasn't much, but those guys deserve every bit of recognition they can get.
Now I'll be the first to admit, this kind of music is not everyone's cup of tea; but I know a few metalheads have to be out there in the Hubskiverse...right? :)
Well I've fanboyed WAY too much about these guys, so let me know what you think below if you like them! :D
Edited to the Youtube link due to mistakenly using my League jams webpage instead xD
I'm really digging this. I'll have to add this to my Spotify!
If there's anyone else that's into this sort of thing, I'd be more than happy to start a #weeklymetalthread, akin to the #weeklymusicthread tag that's already established here. It'd be a little more niche, but I have a seemingly endless supply of bands like this: lesser known and usually incredible quality material. Check out Lorna Shore on spotify as well! Tech-death is a genre I really have to be in the mood for, but those guys and BtB are always locked and loaded while I'm playing League.
