So I’ve been in the metal slump over the past month or 2. Not reviewing, not doing a lot actually. But I’m excited about this next band, Conducting From The Grave. I needed to hear a band like this. It’s been too damn long since I’ve heard something truly amazing, and Conducting From The Grave as done so.
Hit the jump for more!
Where shall I begin? Vocals? Guitar? Percussion? I have yet to hear something that I dislike on When Legends Become Dust. Vocals are similiar, but yet different to Trevor Strnad of Black Dahlia Murder, in the demonic screeches and beastly growls. Lou Tanious, I tip my hat to you, sir.
I believe Sumerian Records, have made a name for themselves in the Progressive Metal genre. And musically, Conduction From The Grave has nailed in on the head. From amazing riffs, to various time signatures, to being just straight balls to wall, brutal. I’ve been trying to do a fare share of research, and I’ve stumbled across, John Abernathy (the Lead Guitarist) YouTube page. And he dropped a video of some new material.
And I’ve also read that he is offering guitar lessons via web cam, and in person (Sacramento area).
I’ve recently become mildly obsessed with drumming and other forms of percussion. Danny Carrey, Shannon Lucas, Leche, Chris Adler, are a small list of my current favorite drummers. Now I’m adding one more, Greg Donnely. This band is tight, this band is loud, this band is everything I could want and more. They are like getting looking in your pockets and finding an extra $20, or when you look and see that you still have some more weed, even though you thought your little brother stole it. Conducting From The Gave has officially stolen my mercury filled heart, and hopefully yours soon.
Also, if any member of GFTG see this, email me. You need to come to Ohio.
So until next time, stay brutal.
