Each post that I do for this challenge I will strive to include 3 Artists: 1 established Metal band, 1 smaller unknown Metal band, and 1 Bonus (this will be an eclectic choice picked from any genre for example from Spice Girls to Johnny Cash and anything in between).
Letter D
Established Metal Band - Down
The term 'Supergroup' gets thrown around too often it seems, but Down well deserving of the title. Formed from members of Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar, Pantera, Superjoint Ritual and Eyehategod, all reasonably well established acts in their own right. Down manage to create different to all of those which is no mean feat. Sludge Metal with elements of Doom and a hint of Blues thrown in, this is a fantastic record. Most people will pick the first album NOLA, I personally prefer the second album Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow
Underground Metal Band - Deadwood Lake
Fantastic atmospheric album from this relatively unknown UK Black Metal band, and sums everything I love about this genre of music. The loud parts are flippin' brutal, and the softer parts are flippin' beautiful. Those who have an interest in progressive metal may well find this worth a listen
Full Album:
Bonus Artist - The Darkness
These need no introduction.
Their first album sold millions (mostly due to the Believe in a Thing called Love Single, and the rest of the albums never really made the same impact. I will agree that the music is hit and miss, but when they get it right they are fantastic. The first album is pretty much all killer and no filler, but this track stands above the rest.
