The Softer side of Annihilator

We all know that Jeff Waters and the rest of Annihilator are one of the best thrash metal bands from Canada yet here's a video of a rock ballad entitled ONLY BE LONELY in which Jeff Waters also sings. The song was so great that I had to post it here.


Lyrics

We've been apart a long time, it feels like years
the memories bring tears
good times, I think of all the good times
to keep my sanity 'til I get home

Refrain
(And) I know it's not how we planned it, it's crazy world out there
just hold on to the world we share

Chorus
I'll only be lonely for you
I'll only be lonely for you


Just remember as life goes by, what we have will never die
I'll always be waiting there for you
how long, it doesn't matter how long
cause time can never take you from my soul - no
(Refrain and Chorus)

good friends are hard to find - believe me it's true
I'll only be lonely for you.
(Refrain and Chorus)

Killswitch Engage - My Last Serenade Live (with Jesse & Howard)

I have read all about this performance during the onset of the Roadrunner United concert and I was wishing that someday someone would post the rarest performance of "My Last Serenade" with both Jesse James Leech and Howard Jones singing and that wish came true. ENJOY this Video KSE fans because this might be the last we see Jesse Leach sing a KSE song.

Mike Patton: The Rock Genius

Seriously, there's no other rock vocalist that have the most diverse vocal style aside from being a songwriter, composer, lyricist, multi-instrumentalist and voice actor like Mike Patton. He has fronted different bands/projects with diverse musical styles like Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Lovage, Fantômas, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Peeping Tom and, of course his main band Faith No More.

Patton has earned critical praise for his diverse vocals, which touch on crooning, falsetto, death growls, rapping, chanting, mouth music, beatboxing and scatting, among other techniques.


FAITH NO MORE - Epic


Tomahawk - God Hates a Coward


Mr Bungle - Air Conditioned Nightmare


Lovage - Anger Management


Fantomas - Cape Fear


Peeping Tom - Mojo

Exploring the World of Experimental Metal

"Avant-garde metal, experimental metal, or art metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music characterised by the use of innovative, avant-garde elements, large-scale experimentation, and the use of non-standard sounds, instruments, and song structures" - wikipedia.org

I've been a fan of several band under these genre of metal music. Bands that I love to listen are Meshuggah, Neurosis, and Dillinger Escape Plan. Each bands has it's own diverse style of "experimental" music. These 3 bands are considered pioneers on these particular scene.

Meshuggah - Rational Gaze


Neurosis - Locust Star


Dillinger Escape Plan - Panasonic Youth
