But due to a number of factors includingthe cost and bureaucratic nightmare posed by the Road Home RecoveryProgram many homeowners are still unable to rebuild or repairtheir houses and lives. The city’s musician population is similarly back to nearly 75percent of its former self and it still shows the damage ofKatrina’s floodwaters. The heavy metal scene has largely goneunderground since its clubhouse the Dixie Tavern in Mid-City wasflooded and lost. The Rebirth Brass Band and the Hot 8 Brass Bandsuffered Katrina-related tragedies. Terrell Batiste of the Hot 8was crippled during the evacuation when his car broke down on anAtlanta freeway and he was hit while trying to change the flat. Drummer Dinerral Shavers was killed by a bullet intended forsomeone else.

“Don’t let your girlfriends near Lords of the Trident ‘cause our music is guaranteed to make panties explode” the band says. What is left to question is whether their music really results in loss of chastity or bursting pink thongs. A recently emerged metal group Lords of the Trident blends 1980s metal with contemporary influences and an avant-garde outlook on musicianship. To say this first album is unconventional would be quite an understatement. A cross between Spinal Tap Tenacious D and a “World of Warcraft” crusade the Lords pack their breakout album with fierce drumming complicated guitar solos and the “oh-so-cliché” screaming and groaning that accompanies most heavy metal. ozing with rampant disorder and hellish ferocity the album is not meant for the faint of heart.
