Unsigned: Six Stage Suicide � Odium (demo cd)

WOW! How can this lot be unsigned? Their material is so good they should be competing with other top metal bands. I was blown away by this demo, which contains 5 tracks of quality stuff. The first track is �You Can Bleed�, which is a great start. A rolling drum (Darren), creeping bass (Rob), then the all assault blast of guitars (Chris and Taff), a great metal vocalist (Marf) and you�ve got a great metal track. But with the second track �What I Cannot See�, you can see there�s so much more than just a straightforward metal band. Here we have a slower tempo, but still all the players doing a good job. Elements of it reminding me of the Stone Temple Pilots, they pull this off really well. �Sickbag� is good but typical metal. However �Tragic Dream� is brilliant, this lot can definitely write a good tune. �Not Our Day�, the final tune is the sort of song that is going to lift them above the common metal band; it all seems so effortless like they�ve been doing it for years. This lot really will be going places. Its great metal, spliced with great tunes and lots of creative energy.  I�m looking forward to hearing an album already. See them now, and get hold of their demo before this lot are massive!!
