Haunting Hollowed Graves (8MB - WMV)
качество картинки фиговое, да и сам клип не очень - видно, что клип первый. Чистый андеграунд. Хотя есть пара смешных моментов из хоррор-фильмов (а-ля "Отшельник" Арии - бугагагагага!!!!)
От себя: совершенно случайно наткнулся на этот экземпляр. По стилю очень похоже на весь этот современный Iron Maiden саунд, который стал так популярен благодаря Trivium, Bullet For My Valentine, Bleeding Through и Avenged Sevenfold. Но здесь вокал такой грайндо-образный скрим - ваще чума! Т.е. даже слов-то не разобрать (в отличие от напр. DEP). Зато с таким вокалом очень хорошо проникаешься музыкой. А музыку ребята лабать умеют!
Гитары обалденные, везде риффы льются, двойные соло! А барабанщик тот еще сотона - рубит как надо!
С таким вокалом эта музыка как бы стала андеграундным ответом немного запопселым Trivium и BFMV. Слушать интересно и приятно.
Вот что пресса про них писала:
"Tracks like "Victim" follow the format of blistering lead guitar over searing rhythms so well that it almost becomes cliche at times."
Ну и подборочка на англицком, если кому интересно:
SUMMER’S END are ready to take the metal-hardcore scene by force with their 1st-ever full length CD for HAND OF HOPE records. SUMMER’S END will floor you with their guitar-driven sound and over the top rhythm section. SUMMER’S END rose from the ashes of previous bands ABYSMAL GATES and BLOOD RUNS COLD. Guitarist John Letzkus and vocalist Josh Hansen have finally put together a band that will leave you breathless. SUMMER’S END are going to make you realize what horror-core is all about.
Rising from the ashes of 5 previous bands guitarist John Letzkus and vocalist Josh Hansen looked to form a band in which they could exercise all of there musical influences and push themselves to the next level, from this the 5 piece known as Summers End was born. After a failed attempt to form a band in New Jersey John moved back to Maryland to find members to fill the remaining positions in the late fall of 2002. A line up was finally complete with ex-members Dave Eaton, Paul Macatee, and Bucky Griffin. Several tours later Summers End would go on to record their debut self-titled CD at Tracks East studios with producer Eric Rachel. Shortly after signing with Hand Of Hope records John called in friend/ex-bandmate Brian Mitchell from Nightmare Prophecy to fill-in after splitting with Paul and Bucky. Once rehearsals began Brian was asked to stay with Summers End permanently. Then the hunt was on to find a bassist who fit the needed requirements. By nearly accident, bassist Dave-Chili-Clarke, ex-The Burning Season, ran into John at a local music store while looking to sell his bass. With mearly days before a month long Midwest/west coast tour Chili agreed to come on the road and learn the songs. 4 days into tour with Brian and John showing him the songs he began playing on stage and fit right in. The completed band line up had opened more things for the band such as touring, and having shared the staged with some bands such as Gotham Road, As I Lay Dying, Chimaira, Haste, Caliban, Sworn Enemy, Anthrax, Tubring, Shadows Fall, Bloodjinn, Society's Finest, The Judas Cradle and Integrity. Now recently splitting with Dave the 4 have begin a new chapter with ex-Walls Of Jericho drummer Alexei Rodriguez and are prepared for anything and have the drive to show the fans of all genres of music what its truly about.
