The Mosh Pit 02.27.09: The Evolution f Extreme Music

This is tough aggressive music and the vocal is another instrument that has to keep pace or it will get lost in the mix. Although I’ve often joked that everyone realized they couldn’t copy the awesome that is King Diamond so they just ran the opposite direction. So yes death metal is certainly a brutal version of metal and is admittedly not for everyone. But even this kind of music is spread out now amongst the subgenres of folk melodic and brutal (amongst others) so I think it’s likely many people could find something they might enjoy. Melodic is probably the most user friendly form of death and a good place for someone to start getting their feet wet. But for those of us who do it packs the majesty of thrash with mind blowing techniques to cause carnage in ye’ old headphones. Under the animal aggression and sweat is the same things we all love about metal it’s just played to the Nth degree and for those who like it it’s the ultimate extreme sport.
Listening Party: Matt Young and PanaCea

In the very early 1990s saying “metal” to almost anyone instantly summoned the image of the overblown day-glo-tights-clad terrors of the overtly commercial hair-metal movement. Today people may look upon bands like Poison as legends but to a kid just getting into popular music in the grunge era they were a campy joke. But there were still “real” metal bands to be found and you didn’t even have to look that hard. MTV not yet the station where drunken co-eds were most likely to make out with each other in hot-tubs was still mostly videos.

Born from its homeland’s famed death metal scene alongside bands like In Flames and At the Gates Soilwork has plugged away for 13 years slowly gaining recognition in North America with recent albums that showcase a more melodic accessible side. As mainstream acceptance grows harsh critiques and accusations of “selling out” start to fly – but finances are hardly a factor for drummer Dirk Verbeuren. “We’re still poor” he laughs. Soilwork will storm into the Starlite Room tonight with fellow Swedes Darkane American thrashers Warbringer and Finland’s Swallow the Sun. “It’s hard for us to really account for how much mainstream success there really is” Verbeuren says.
