Strapping Young Lad
I've been listening to Devy's solo stuff for about a year now but I've only recently checked out SYL. So far I LOVE their self-titled CD, and The New Black is turning out damn good. "Fucker" is my favourite song right now.
Anyone else into them? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I listened to them pretty briefly, but I'm not big on his vocals. They're a little too scratchy to me, makes it sound like he's hissing instead of growling. (Kinda like Bodom)
Are there any songs you'd recommend that have more of a melodic bent to them, like In Flames? There's nowhere I can't reach. |
"Fucker" from their new album and "Love?" from Alien. Not exactly In Flames-ish, but being an IF fan myself, I'd judge them as being kind of close.
Heh, they also have a song called Skeksis. Might interest you :P This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I only have Alien so far, but what an incredible record!
Gene Hoglan is a MONSTER on the drums. My only complaint is that there's so many guitar tracks (or synth, or a CHOIR) that the bass can get buried. My favorite tracks are "Skeksis" and "Thalamus," probably. I picked up the album after hearing Devin's track ("Loser") on Ayreon's "The Human Equation." He also has a sweet skullet. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Wasn't expecting this thread. SYL used to be a local band in my city. I guess they've gotten a bit more popular.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
That´s cool knkwzrd! I definitely think SYL and Devy´s solo work is pretty popular nowadays
Personally I only listened to the first half of City, and some single songs from the new album. I like their songs but most of the time the production job is hurting my ears - maybe I´m just too weak for that stuff. Gotta have to agree that Gene Hoglan is absolutely stunning on the drums - I´m always surprised how fast he can move.. I mean... *cough* Oh before I forget, anyone heard the new song? http://mp3.centurymedia.com/syl/then.../syl_usuck.mp3 What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
SYL are good, I got into them about 3 years back and my album of choice is city. I saw them back on their headlining '05 tour, and for some reason, they were with awful bands. I dont know the names of the bands, but what I do know is that a good 1/3 of the audience were dressed in emo attire, and by the time syl came on, the audience had shrunk a great deal. God damn I hate metalcore, but now Im just rambling =/
FELIPE NO |
I think Alien is their best, myself. They really put the effort into making a quality album, not just some great tracks with filler. I like albums that you need to listen to in their entirety to really enjoy.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
