Wanting to keep my blog up to date and not wanting to get into anything too serious...
I just picked up a few new CD's:
- Trivium - The Crusade
- Burden Brothers - Mercy
- Tenacious D - The Pick of Destiny
My friend, Sparky, told me about Trivium. This is the first I've heard them. Some of the songs sound like old Metallica (and other metal of that era) to me. Other songs sound a lot newer, but it's all quite good! They're technically very good musicians and much of their stuff would probably be considered speed/thrash metal, but the vocals are understandable and they have good, often pretty hooky melodies.
I haven't listened to the Burden Brothers one yet, but I heard and liked some of their other stuff. Plus I was a fan of the Toadies.
I saw the trailer for the Tenacious D movie (after which the new CD is named) and in it, I only heard their older songs. But this CD contains all new material. Not as good as the other, self-titled, CD, but still pretty good. Plus it was on sale so I figured I'd buy it and not be a douche and/or pirate stealing Jack and Kyle's Rocket Sauce! :)
In case you don't know what I'm talking about, view Jack Black's anti-piracy psa here.
Whenever I listen to new music (or see live music), I always feel like I should be practicing playing guitar more than I do. By the way, I just saw Black Label Society live last week -- killer show. Maybe I'll play some tonight.
'Till next time, Rock On!
