Evan Conway Hard Music, News, Tours Comments Off on Non-Metal For Metalheads: A Dead Forest Index

One of the aspects of metal that we generally forget about is the atmosphere and dynamics. So much of it is  loud and angry that we often need reminding that emotions of a wider variety can be covered in the genre. Post-metal bands generally play with dynamics, as well and not shying away from beautiful, clean guitars to contrast the sludgy riffs that make up a large percentage of the sound. Essentially, quiet music landscapes are not alien to the genre, with many a metalhead enjoying the more atmospheric offerings of music as a whole.  

Evan Conway Hard Music, News, Tours Comments Off on Periphery Reveal New Album, Announce Tour

Periphery have been holed up in the studio this year, having only released the sprawling double-album Juggernaut: Alpha and Omega previously in 2015. Not without their share of wild studio updates, the band has been slowly letting fans in on what this new album is shaping up to be.  

Evan Conway Hard Music, News, Reviews, Tours Comments Off on Amon Amarth Show New York The Way Of Vikings

   Amon Amarth don’t have much left to prove to the world at this point in their career. Within the nearly three years since Deceiver of the Gods was released, the band have grown exponentially beyond an overseas sensation, into a juggernaut worldwide. Taking that opening slot on the Mayhem Festival main stage proved to go a long way, as the band embarked on two headlining North American tours the following year, each time growing larger than before.  

Evan Conway Hard Music, News, Reviews, Tours Comments Off on Fear Factory, Soilwork Dismantle Gramercy Theater

I’ll be the first to admit that I never expected much out of Fear Factory when I first listened to them. To my surprise, they became a group of musicians who I respected for their in-your-face albums with the chops to back them up. Nobody could argue that while you knew what you were getting into with Fear Factory, you wouldn’t end up disappointed. With that said, I’ve always been wary of anything associated with industrial metal, in the sense that it can be so computerized and clean, at times, that the thrill of actually seeing an industrial band live would not be able to replicate that.  

Evan Conway Hard Music, News, Tours Comments Off on Summer Slaughter Teases, Hypes Up 2016 Tour

The Summer Slaughter tour decided to one-up itself from its last reveal a few days ago by teasing more bands this time, Previously, the page for the touring festival alluded to Cannibal Corpse, Nile, and After the Burial being alluded to heavily.  

Evan Conway Hard Music, News, Tours Comments Off on Singers Better Suited for AC/DC

You’d swear the world split apart, but the seemingly impossible happened this week: Axl Rose will be singing for AC/DC and Brian Johnson was out of the band. You’d have sworn a meteor was heading straight for Earth, because everyone reacted that way: someone else fronting AC/DC, even as a touring member, let alone someone as notorious as Axl? Right after the announcement that Guns N Roses was touring with Slash and Duff, it just seemed so overkill for Axl to be doing that. Granted, since Axl isn’t young anymore, he runs the chance of exhaustion since he’ll be going from GNR to AC/DC and probably to GNR right after.  

Evan Conway Fest, Hard Music, Tours Comments Off on The Summer Slaughter Tour Teases First Bands

Usually by now we have a general idea as to what bands will be on The Summer Slaughter tour through hints they drop during the year. Being that it’s April, it’s odd to not have any indication as to who we’ll be seeing on the massive extreme metal festival. Finally, the Facebook page for the tour has dropped its first hint at bands we’ll see this year, and it seems to be a bit for everyone.  

Evan Conway Hard Music, News, Reviews, Tours Comments Off on Metal Allegiance Takes over NYC

Chances are, if you’re into metal, your first love for a band wasn’t Gorgoroth or Suffocation. I’ve met a person or two who went from prog rock into tech death, but in actuality the majority of people in the metal community started with the basics: Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and even hard rock bands that influenced the genre, like Van Halen. It’s almost like Metal 101, and everyone has to go through it at some point or another. And whether you enjoy the music or not, you can’t deny the influence on the genre, let alone how it has impacted the world.
