But back to the chase, the thing i want to talk about is, 3 new bands that i have discovered in the last week.
let me start with Dutch symphonic metal band, Delain. Formed in 2001 by Martijn Westerholt (formerly of Within Temptation), at the time the band was just seen as a project featuring guest musicians and not as a live band.
The Band Has released 3 albums to date, and We Are The Others being the most recent.
Ok the second band is Halstorm. The American rock band, started by brother and sister Arejay and Lzzy Hale. Having toured with many rock and metal acts and being featured at quite a few big festivals, they are really making a name for themselves.
So far they have released 2 albums, with their latest being, The Strange Case Of...
Ok now the last band I want to mention is, Kobra And The Lotus. Them being the newest out of the 3 bands, and every1 is still waiting for the release of their new album.
Having played and going to play some of the biggest festivals in Europe, this band is really making waves in the metal world. The Band has been described by critics as NWOBHM, and compared to Iron Maiden and Iced Earth.
The Band is currently signed with Gene Simmons's record label, after struggling to get a signing after recording their second album.
Their second album is due for release in August of this year.
Now you may have realized, all of these bands are fronted by chicks, yes. Well i really like it, now I know there are a lot of metal fans out there that don't like style, but when you think of it, its pretty fucking awesome actually. A woman's voice over guitars and drums, has a total different sound than a man's.
well hats off to the ladies for a great job!
