No One Home by Titanosaur

-

"No One Home" by Titanosaur releases on November 11th!  I am honored to be able to listen early and give you my reaction the best I can! 

Titanosaur never fails to deliver a sound all his own with gigantic pounding drums, blasting distorted guitars, smooth bass lines and that signature grunge-tastic vocal that honestly makes me think of his band name just by hearing it.  Titanosaur is his own brand of metal.

"No One Home" is a song where the complicated meters of the drums pounding away are really impressive.  The song actually starts with guitars rising in volume, then bass guitar rhythmically getting us moving.  When the drums kick in, I can feel the vibes of a stadium full of metal heads raising their horns, heads down, bobbing their long hair up and down or side to side...and fully in-the-zone.  The vocals come in and I start to picture the setting of a giant dinosaur with a guitar and microphone directing this crowd to action with fires all around the Jurassic landscape.

I LOVE when the drums pick up and the guitar soloing starts to occur.  This song is very surprisingly progressive.  It definitely does not follow a common song structure, taking you where it needs to go so smoothly.  "It's about time | Tick Tick Tick Tock | The time is now".  Those lyrics are belted out above chugging palm-muted guitars over drums and bass, which occurs after the high-intensity guitar solo section.  So much flow.  Smooth as silk.  With a rhythm like this, it takes a certain high level of focus to keep all instruments tight.  Impressive!  Written and performed to perfection with originality.

The drums are pounding.  The guitars are thunderous.  The bass is smooth and rolling.  The vocals sound like they're being roared from a mountain top.  That is Titanosaur.  Never disappoints.

You can find this song on the "Fight the Storm" playlist that accompanies this song review blog.

Wolves in the Graveyard by This Side of Anarchy

-
 This Side of Anarchy is from Los Angeles, California USA, and "Wolves in the Graveyard" brings a high-energy mix between punk and metal in such a way I've never heard by anyone else. The song starts with fast-moving toms being joined by howling wolves, which couldn't fit this Halloween time of year better!  Soon, the bass, guitars and vocals join in simultaneously.  The verse gives me that eerie feeling of anxiety by all that's going on around me...the wolves pursuing...  "Watch out!  Wolves in the graveyard." The guitars are crisp and clear with distortion, sticking with the rhythm with palm mutes and open power chords.  The vocals are full of gravel, chanting and setting the atmosphere and telling the story while staying in key where appropriate. I'm very impressed with the drummer's creative use of tom-led rhythms throughout the song.  So many rhythms that aren't conventional!  It does an exceptional job of keeping the anxiety to a maximu...

Rabbit Hat Smash by Sisser

 I'll be completely honest, but when I started listening to "Rabbit Hat Smash" by Sisser (out of St. Louis, Missouri USA), I was incredibly intrigued immediately.  It is definitely not conventional, and I LOVE IT!  Let's see if I can describe this... It starts out with authentic live drums playing a 5/4 rock beat, which is hard to fully grasp until the bass and guitars come in.  The bass is has an incredible punchy thickness to it with 5 strings used in such a way that sort of surprised me that it got so low.  It's very active...not just sitting on the roots.  The guitars are the same...always active...not just chords...always filling in the atmosphere of my headphones.  It feels like the guitarist is just improvising his/her way through the song...sooo naturally. I get a hint of White Stripes and a bit of Sick Puppies when I listen.  (Random thought as I listen).  I would love to know who actually inspires this group. I believe this could be...
