Sleep Terror Wankery... at its finest. He could join my band. Yes. Problem is, NO drummer could pull that stuff off. His christmas melody is pretty metal.
I was considering the ways that 'Nursing School' ad landed on his website. Nicely played stuff, and it is fun to listen to.
Well, I wasn't going to until you mentioned it... Where I come from, we have a name for those kinds of people: metal fans.
Dude. I love Sleep Terror. I've been listening to them for a few months. Their guitarist can definitely play his ass off. His sweeps are crazy.
*** does the drummer have in his bass drum(S)???? An octuple bass drum pedal? Dang... They sure can play, but it's WAY excessive IMHO.
I just found out about Sleep Terror, and I have to say that they are definately on the right track. Everyone has A.D.D. nowadays, and where an 8 minute "Stairway to Heaven" was okay 30 years ago, a 3 minute pop song is too long today. Metal can only get more extreme and intense by going that route. I know I'm not 100% right, but I can definately see where Sleep Terror's approach was just the "next logical step".
There is nothing new to me in what they are doing, check out what S.O.D. [Stormtroopers of Death] did 85, Or early Napalm Death ect.
I'm diggin it. Wanky, yep sure - a bit, but interesting... and very tight! I'm gonna check them live if I can!
