Deftones is back after their former bassist Chi's unfortunate accident. The Sacramento band is rocking as hard as ever and this song is particularly awesome. The guitar is just spasmodically big and Chino Moreno's voice fits the record perfectly. The > read more

Three Days Grace

So it's Three Days Grace's turn. Adam Gontier is easily one of the best rock singers out there. The guitars are big but I think the bass guitar is the instrument that stands out the most. They did quite a good job at the layering during the instrumen > read more

Slipknot needs no introduction. The masked men of Des Moines came up with this energy loaded, melodically impregnated, crowd surfing cry of desperation.The distorted arpeggio guitars set the scene, and the intro drums have that perfect touch of triba > read more

Drowning Pool - Feel like I do

Published on 2010-04-12 13:03:00

I love this song. There's something about the guitar line early on that has a slight air of 'Paranoid'. The groove is catchy, the guitars sound big enough and McCombs's voice sounds as powerful as ever. The Texan band's eponymous album will soon be r > read more
