New Music released Tuesday 5-19-15
#Spotlight Artist
BadChristian's Emery released their #Hard Rock, #Metal album called, "You Were Never Alone". I am not "into" the NEW Metal sound as it is today, however I frequented more than a few "ANTHRAX" shows in my youth and was a fan of Metallica and Y&T among others.... sooooo, I know a little bit about metal.
I can appreciate the band's melodic singing and artistic expressions in the music. But it is the raw emotion that comes through in the screams that are the calling card of this genre. They are like the forward cutting edge of the sword that "screams" through the air.
Like Ned Starks Sword "ICE" as it is beheading a deserter from the wall..... ummm... sorry, did I drift off to Westeros again?Ok... back to Emery.... If you are looking for good, Hard Hitting, music with a "bite" this is IT! Even from a self described, NON-Metal guy, I like this album a lot! It has more than a fair amount of singing and great music. The screaming is done as more of an accent, which I feel really adds to the depth of the song and the emotion is allowed to actually be heard. Like using an expletive...when you use it as every other word in a sentence it really loses it's expletive meaning... You know what I"m FREAKING talking about!?!
Emery is my pick for #Spotlight Artist of the week. You can purchase their new album on iTunes and Amazon, or at the BadChristian Website.
#Album of the Week
Last but certainly not least!.... Twenty One Pilots released their new album "Blurry Face". I have been a Twenty One Pilots fan sense I saw them at Q101's PiqNiq a few years ago! I won't do this review justice, so with no further ado.... the review of Twenty One Pilots "Blurry Face" by my daughter Kaitlyn!
(when I ask a Junior in High school, during finals to help me with a project... well..... )
Blurry Face is awesome.
I love the uniqueness of twenty one pilot's music in general, but [the album] BlurryFace takes it to a new level.I loved the singles Stressed Out and Tear in my Heart. Stressed Out
because it truly encompasses all of my feelings about growing up. Tear in my Heart because
twenty one pilots doesn't write love songs, but this song is still so unique even though they
talk about love.
When the album came out I first fell in love with Judge. The song is just fun, I'm not sure if I've
caught onto the meaning yet, it's just a fun song to listen to. And lastly is Goner. I didn't even
really notice it until my friend told me it was her favorite and then I listened to it and I feel like
it's Tyler expressing his innermost thoughts in telling us he's a goner because he's not ok.
Watch the video below of "Stressed Out"
