Social Strife - You Were Nothing

Here's a song that's got a great groove. Has some catchy guitar and vocal hooks to it as well but it's not so slick sounding that it altogether loses its hard rock edge. Excellent energy right from the start as soon as the drum intro kicks in, then it just builds from there and carries on throughout the entire tune. If you don't crank it up from the very beginning... You'll be wanting to!

The Curse Within

This band has some varied heavy metal influences apparent in their writing. So much so that at times it's hard to tell what their predominant influences are. Not that it matters; they offer a great blend of thrash with a flavouring of old school metal. Their music is full of killer intensity and, at the same time... plenty of catchy hooks. Heavy, fast driving beats, thundering riffs, lots of shredding and raw aggressive vocals. Also woven into the sound are the textures of melodic guitar work and vocals adding a dimension of subtlety, without taking away at all from the over the top energy of the music, making for a truly dynamic and compelling sound heavy metal sound.
