My contributing writer Taylor is a young, proud, tried, and true metalhead who constantly has her ears to the ground and even under the ground. She is always telling me about these new bands that I have never heard of so finally I said, \u201cTaylor, just make me a list and I will work my way through the list.\u201d As someone who loves finding and discovering new bands, I love it even more when new bands are brought to my attention.<\/p>\n<p>For this piece, I have taken this list that Taylor gave me and I decided to work my way down the list and share my thoughts on each of them. Keep in mind, these are my own opinions on these bands but I have also included tracks for you to listen to because hey, I may not like a certain band but maybe, just maybe that band will be your new favorite band.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Old James<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now this is a fucking band. This three piece Canadian powerhouse absolutely blew my mind after checking out their video for the song \u201cDon\u2019t Put it On Me.\u201d They totally have this rootsy married with hard rock sound ala Raging Slab. This kind of music totally tugs at my heart strings and is the kind of music I grew up loving and still do. It\u2019s so nice to see youngins bringin\u2019 it back home with the old school love.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lud_yLePMGQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goat Horn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once again, here are some \u201ckids\u201d kicking it old school. Their video for \u201cRotten Roll\u201d cost a whopping $60.00 to make and it is easily one of the greatest things I\u2019ve ever seen. It reminds me of the atomic silliness of bands like Anvil and Killer Dwarfs and musically they remind me of both of the mentioned bands. It\u2019s fun, it\u2019s silly, it\u2019s well played, and it totally made me love this band and want to hear more. In a genre that sometimes takes itself way too seriously, it\u2019s just nice to see a band having a fucking good time.\u00a0 It&#8217;s weird because I found myself liking this stuff way more than the band they would eventually morph into (Cauldron).<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IEPwLunV6AI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wolf<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I checked out their song \u201cShark Attack\u201d and here\u2019s the thing; Wolf definitely doesn\u2019t suck but they didn\u2019t do anything for me. As a matter of fact, I kind of found them to be generic and lacking any kind of identity. About a minute into the song, I found myself straightening my desk, reading the Onion, and checking my email and then all of the sudden the song was done. Like I said, they didn\u2019t suck but they just did nothing for me.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y9ir6YC2uNU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diemonds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have heard a lot of people talking about this band and I have to say, I didn\u2019t like this at all. Also, their name is absolute hideous. Diemonds is almost this kind of 80\u2019s sounding glam metal mixed with Halestorm (who I fucking hate). Lyrically the songs that I heard were just terrible and cringe worthy. Musically they were tight but just so generic and so plain. Nothing exciting here at all. Sorry Diemonds. No play for you!<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TziUC6qV1NQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sumerlands<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gave these guys and listen and musically I have to say that I was loving them. They kind of remind me of Jake E. Lee, Bark at the Moon era Ozzy kind of stuff but the vocals just killed it for me. I didn\u2019t think the singer was very good at all which made it hard for me to truly enjoy the songs. This is a prime example of how a singer can make or break a band. In this situation, unfortunately it\u2019s broke and it needs fixing sooner than later.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1LZ99QeDDnc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visigoth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wow. I\u2019m really not sure what I just listened to but the more I heard, the less I liked them. This particular song (Dungeon Master) is just a bit over the top for me. Musically these guys totally sound like old school White Wizzard with a drummer who isn\u2019t as good and a vocalist who sounds like he wants to be from Europe (these guys are from Salt Lake City). I didn\u2019t hate it but it also makes me wonder if this is a band that I need to see live. I wouldn\u2019t write them off fully just yet. These guys are a definite maybe.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2oclDVweTR4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Midnight<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I fucking LOVE this band. This just may be the best band Taylor has turned me on to. This band, in a nutshell is old school Venom wearing hoods on stage. Savage Master does the hood thing better than anybody so I think these guys should hang their hoods up.\u00a0 It\u2019s corny, it\u2019s cheesy, but it\u2019s fucking awesome. You can totally tell by listening to this band that this is the kind of metal they truly love and cut their teeth on. It\u2019s not a bunch of youngins trying too hard. This is the real fucking deal and I love this band.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mdBqD_e0ptU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a big difference between loose and sloppy and I just found these guys to be extremely sloppy. Musically they just sounded like a fucking garage band that just recorded their demo on a boom box. I can hear elements of how these guys could eventually be a good band but this is just way too sloppy for my liking. And those vocals are just not good. Sorry, Spell.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pr9XeWyA-R0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spellcaster<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What a great sounding band. The production is fantastic and musically they are so tight but this band just seems to lack any kind of identity. There is nothing these guys are doing that stands out from the pack. They just sound like all the other really good melodic classic NWOTHM bands. This isn\u2019t a horrible thing by any means but it just means that by the time I finish this article I will have already forgotten them.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zGv6Mryyv78?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evil Invaders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This band is so ridiculous\u2026 ridiculously awesome. The song \u201cTortured by the Beast\u201d literally had me rolling because it was so over the top. Now this is what I\u2019m talking about when I say that having a memorable identity is what bands need to make them stick out. This dude\u2019s voice is so ridiculous and honestly not that good but it\u2019s so much fun and musically the band is fucking tight as hell. I dug this and will definitely check out more.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FZZZCWPwGak?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Midnight Malice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ok, so kind of like Spellcaster, these guys lacked some identity but over all I found their songwriting and their delivery to be extremely well done. I really enjoyed this band and I feel like this is a band that I need to see live. They sound like a really fun band to see and I absolutely love the guitar tones and playing on this song. This is some good shit that will definitely get some more attention from me.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IHQNbHf3vDQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skull Fist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a band that for some reason always flew under my radar. I\u2019ve heard the name (terrible name), I\u2019ve seen the shirts, but I never really gave them an earnest listen and I have to say\u2026 I\u2019m fucking glad that I finally did. Thank you, Taylor! I really enjoyed this band so fucking much. They have this old school 80\u2019s metal sound mixed with a bit of Helloween meets Skid Row. The singer dude can sing his fucking ass off and I love the twin axe attack. Yeah, this is a band I need to dive into more for sure. Loved this.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GZ0pOmZLE8w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cauldron<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed this. I didn\u2019t love them but I definitely didn\u2019t hate them. At first I didn\u2019t love the singer\u2019s voice but I ended up really liking it because he wasn\u2019t one of those \u201ctrying too hard\u201d singers. Much like Skull Fist, they were a band that flew under my radar and for some reason just kept getting pushed down to the bottom of the pile. While I didn\u2019t love them, I can hear something there and this is definitely a band that deserves way more attention than I\u2019ve given them.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/454d8nCOgu4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amulet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I didn\u2019t dig this at all. This kind of reminded me of that Spell band only instead, these guys were actually pretty tight musically but those vocals are just horrible. I couldn\u2019t even listen to a full song from these dudes. I mean, don\u2019t get me wrong, if you love this band, more power to you. I just couldn\u2019t get into this at all. Sorry, Amulet.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EM5ku9jXW6s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>============================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong>RAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is hands down the best band on this fucking list. Holy fuck this is a great band. What a sound. It sounds so fucking huge and those vocals are just insane. I love that the singer has his own voice and doesn\u2019t really sound like anyone else I\u2019ve ever heard. I easily listened to this song twice and immediately went and bought their album Svbversvm.\u00a0 This is the kind of band that gets me super fucking excited about the future of metal.\u00a0 This band has such a strong sound and this is a band that I can see really making a mark on the face of metal if given the opportunity to do so.\u00a0 This is definitely a band that I will be keeping my eyes and ears on from here on.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c4j5zYN9GeM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whoever said, \u201cYou can\u2019t teach an old dog new tricks\u201d obviously never ran a hard rock\/metal blog.
