Radical Dreamer 0 Posted November 11, 2010 This is a Band that deserves more Attention. Its a very good Prog-Metal/Rock Band form Texas. I came across them, while looking for new Prog-Metal Food, and they surprised me. I had to learn, once again, that a stupid Bandname doesn´t necessarily mean stupid Music. Now, this is one of my favortite Bands. They perfectly blend Strange tunes, diverse Vocals, progressive Performance, experimental and Avant-garde Orchestrations. Song from their self-released Debut Album "Intelligent Design" Coverversion from Danny Elfmans "This is Halloween" http://www.shaolindeathsquad.com/ http://www.myspace.com/shaolindeathsquad http://www.lastfm.de/music/Shaolin+Death+Squad Additional Note: For Anymone who cares, Matt Thompson (King Diamond) is the Drummer.

Guest Posted November 12, 2010 Extremely boring band. By the way: Is Matt Thompson actually playing the drums here? Experts on the field claims that the drums on Give Me Your Soul... Please was programmed using a drum computer. Wouldn't be the first time. A lot of the songs from the masterpeice that is The Eye used a drum machine, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did it once more. So is he? Yes/No? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radical Dreamer 0 Posted November 12, 2010 Well, they certainly don´t play "Easy Listening Metal". And that´s exactly what makes them interesting. Boring, maybe in the Ears of People who expect catchy and "easy to understand"- Compositions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeus 7997 Posted November 12, 2010 Extremely boring band. I can tell they suck ass just by looking at them. These guys should drop the synth. I hate it when bands incorporate a bit of synthesizer and then think they have achieved something epic when it's just a mediocre riff with synth over it. They would be much better off focusing on their riffs and getting someone that can spice up the drumming department because it sounds like they have a lot of ideas but they don't move anywhere with any of them. I felt nothing listening to the first link you posted and had no incentive to move on to the next. Otherwise, what these two said. Also, easy-listening =/= bad. That's just a (really bad) stereotype. Besides, this isn't anywhere near "hard-listening". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
