THE ART OF METAL COVER OF THE WEEK
PANTERA - VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER |
|
|
Vulgar Display of Power is quite possibly one of the most iconic metal album covers of all-time. The art is a simple snapshot of a guy getting punched in the face, which is the only way to describe the sonic beat down that this album gives its listener. This undeniably classic album produced some of the biggest Heavy Metal anthems of all-time such as "Mouth of War", "A New Level", "Fucking Hostile" and the most covered song in Metal, "Walk". If a band wants to be accepted by a Heavy Metal audience, all they have to do is play "Walk" and its like a campfire sing-along moshpit style. Seriously, this album wrote the book on what a metal album should sound like and the cover art is a picture worth only one word, BRUTAL. Cowboys From Hell told the world that Pantera had arrived, but Vulgar Display of Power made it clear that Pantera wouldn't wait around to be appreciated. They would prove to redefine "in your face" Metal to become "Fist in your face" Metal and it's fucking.................fucKING...................FUCKING HHHHOSTIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiILLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!

Dirge Within and check tour dates |
A few years ago, we got to be friends with Shaun Glass and his band at the time, Soil, a band with a heavy edge, but apparently a 'radio-friendly' sound which was mostly evident with the massive success of their first single "Halo". Getting to know Shaun, I used to wonder how a guy with such a heavy Death Metal background could be part of such a catchy, almost dancable sound. Well, Shaun parted ways with Soil a while back and started a new group called Dirge Within and now it all makes sense. Dirge Within are brutal like a relentless beating directly to the head and sound like these guys know their Death Metal well. If you're a fan of Devildriver, Suicide Silence or Divine Heresy you're gonna love "Force Fed Lies", the debut from Dirge Within. They just set out with Trivium for a few month of moshing around the US. Check out some tracks and look up their tour dates to catch 'em live. |

Mower and Skinlab set off on the "Sons of a Sik World" tour this week. In Flames just hit the states for a few weeks of shows after rolling around Canada for a bit. Dirge Within are also covering the States right now on their first round in the next few months. Kittie just got all dolled up and are starting a US tour this week. We're lookin' forward to meeting up with the most attractive band in Metal when they get back to Southern California mid-October. |
