Metal Fridays

Metal Friday

I came up with this idea two weeks ago and already missed a week. So it’s back, I’ll try to do better next time.

Today’s band is Emery, probably one of my favorite all time band for over 10 years. They are more on the post-hardcore side of things, which is probably my favorite style; but ‘Post-Hardcore Friday’ just doesn’t have the same ring to it. . This is ‘Walls’ from their first CD “The Weak’s End“. Early on, the top comment on their video was, “When did Jason Batemen start a Screamo band”, I thought that was hilarious. Enjoy:

When you are trying to write a blog, one good plan is to have a recurring segment. I got an idea after reading yesterday that on Venus it rains metal: Metal Fridays. I’m a huge fan of hardcore music including post-hardcore and metalcore. Many of the good bands I like have members that are Christians and even have lyrics focused on Christian themes. This lead to the awesome attempt to rename the categories. So you end up with ‘genres’ like life-metal or white-metal or my favorite, Christcore.

Anyway, one of my favorite bands right now is Wolves at the Gate, whom I actually saw live a few weeks ago. I like all their songs, my favorite probably being ‘Man of Sorrows’ but they don’t have an official video for that yet. I heard about them from a buddy of mine, looked them up on YouTube and I believe this was the first video I ever saw of them:
