Predator (US-FL)

Ok here's another killer metal band this time from Florida with 2 private metal cds until now. If you forget the crappy name & stay concentrated into their music you will reveal another one qualitative metal band. Their first effort was in 2008 & that comes in a special package along with a dvd. The dvd includes the Closet-Anti Christ video (Slayer-ish song!). My favorite cd song is the "Die Unborn", an all-time classic! It reminds me the early speed metal years of many legendary bands of the 80's. The production is ok for an indie but it's a little bit dull (?) imho. The vocals are strong & straight ahead.

Bottom line is that the s/t cd by those Floridians varies from power metal to even speed/thrash as there are quite a few thrashy passages. A must have purchase for the 90's US Power metal fan!

3 years after the debut, the band came back with a second killer cd! It's called "Born In Blood" (no fantasy at all...) & it's available since July. I think the vocals on that one are more high-pitched like (hell yeah!!!) ! There are speed/thrash elements on that one too (a few Slayer touches imho) but it's overall a US Power metal cd. Support the honest US metal bands simply buying their stuff to help them keep on playing that kind of metal in these days of madness!

Current Line Up :

NESTOR AGUIRRE: VOCALS

DAMIEN LEE THORR: GUITAR

VICTOR MENESES: GUITAR

SCOTT OPIELA: BASS

ED GRESELY: DRUMS

TENGWAR (US-VA)

As I had some free time today I decided to give a shout about an honest underground metal band from Virginia. The band is called Tengwar & it's still active. I am listening to their 2003 demo-cd right now. The production lacks but it's an 8 years effort... Favorite song is rather the "Dark Days & Alleyways".

3 years later in 2006 we have the full-length release by the band called "Flight Of The Dragon". A more professional effort definitely, still an industrial cd-r (not silverpressed) but with a real full-color booklet & backcover this time. 13 songs of honest straight ahead old school US metal.

The band is still looking for a label but in these days of crappy "core" it's almost impossible for a US metal band to make it bigger.

Check the band on myspace :

and support them if you like what you hear!
