Description:
This band is just awesome. Their album Paradise was probably one of the best hardcore releases of the year.

Their songs are very fast-paced and energetic, and the vocals tend to be a bit harsh druing most of the song. Many of their songs also have melodic parts to them, which adds an extra layer of unique-ness to their music. The guitar and drumwork in this band is also fairly impressive, an their sound is very interesting.

So anyway, definitely check this band out if you haven't already. They are really one of the better hardcore bands I've heard in a while.

Description:
These guys are awesome. But, most of you won't like the reach from your usual music tastes I don't think. But lets make this simple...bag pipes and Black Metal...is there something more awesome?

Basically these guys are fast, loud, screamy, heavy and generally awesome. Black Metal focuses on Atmosphere and these guys really have that art down solid. There is great atmosphere to their music. The vocals are all growls and screams, or a mix thereof, but I really enjoy them, and I can't say that about all bands, so hopefully that won't be what turns you off of them.

The drumming is pounding and fierce, the guitars driving and the keyboard is beautiful. I was originally introduced to this band via their covers of Fear of the Dark (Iron Maiden) and Losing my religion (REM). If you have an interest in hearing those just hit me up on AIM or Soulseek.

Paint it Black is good. Never listened to Graveworm, but they sound cool so I'll check them out.

Paint It Black are pretty good from the songs on their myspace page, but I didn't really like Graveworm. Not much of a fan of Black/Death Metal.

I'll give PIB another listen though and maybe try to get their album off someone if I like them enough.
