I recently checked them out (after I saw a song on much loud one night) to see if they had any other good songs (much loud is where I found out about Quo Vadis so I gave them a chance).

They're canadian, and I wouldn't exactly say they're metal, but the newer album has some interesting aspects to it, and despite the mainstream vocals they don't sit that bad with me. Some of their faster, more metal sounding songs are Heretics And Killers, Nautical, Bury The Hatchet and Divinity Within. Here's Nautical

There aren't many complete tabs, none here at all, which I would say makes sense. Here's Here's a fairly good profile.

So anyone else here heard them (or of them)? What do you guys think? I plan on listening to them a little longer to make up my mind fully..

Great fucking music, not too keen on the singer's voice though.

I'll be seeing them with Dragonforce in May, should be fun.

The hardgay vibes emanating from this song are too much for me. Post-hardcore emo shyt.

the only good for thing about gwar is watching live videos of them its just so damn funny

I certainly didn't expect anyone to enjoy the vocals. Anyway the music (despite the vocals) is excellent to me, especially for a fairly mainstream band.

Heretics & Killers:

I fell inlove with Kezia.

+ i saw 'em last sunday they rock my world.

I fucking hate protest the hero. I think they are pussies and should quit right now before some crazed slayer fanatic runs on stage and rips one of their heads off.

I liked them, thanks for the suggestion.

The concept behind Kezia is pretty cool, but I wouldn't expect many people around these parts to admire a band that puts actual thought into their lyrical content... that being said, settle down lands.. go band to your gore lyrics.. hurry! FASTER!

anyone who cares to read up on Protest, check out these wikipedia links, some pretty amazing stuff, especially this part; "For their most recent album, rather than writing songs in their musical boundaries, Protest wrote music that they could not play, and then forced themselves to learn how to play it over the last two years."

they also have some pretty cool videos, something that is definetly a rariety these days

all that said, this band kicks ass. I'm sorry if you feel the need to alienate yourself from such an experience.

Right.

Genre's annoy me, but not as much as those who feel the need to list several genre's to describe the sound of one band...

its fun to read though hehe

Shut the hell up, GWAR are great.

listing several genres to describe one band is great to tell people the bands discription.

how about i tell you that dream theatre are a metal band.

instantly someone goes great im into metal like slipknot i'll love them.

Why would they they're useful for categorizing music.
If there were no genres shit would be really fucked up.
Listing several genres refines the category for which that band should be in and it is useful for getting people into bands, describing music, etc.


Then again your screenname is 'BLS'...So this means the music is terrible?

I rather listen to a band then decide wether I'd like them based on how cool their genre sounds


and sure.. you can call Protest post happ hardcore, metalcore, deathy, trash, tech core with a taste of math magician magic...?

or you can listen to them, and not bother trying to fit everything into a nice little mold.



would one's screename imply such a thing?

not my worries.

ok well next time i see a band with a name like brutal gore fuckers im gonna waste my time downloading it because someone said they are good. then afer wasting my time i found out they are some shitty black metal and not the grindcore i thought it was gonna be. well maybe if they said it was black metal in the first place i wouldnt have just wasted my time

Eh, some cool guitar stuff, they obviously have talent. But the vocals make we want to go watch Will and Grace. And thats a bad thing.

Chances are you would have wasted your time with a band called 'Brutal Gore Fuckers' no matter what.

I hate the genre fagdance as much as anybody, but it makes sense for the reasons Infinity almost articulated. And listing a few existing, recognizable genres to give an impression about the areas the music touches upon is preferable to coining new genre names that tell you nothing about the music because it's easier than giving a helpful description. More helpful would be the specific bands whose influences you think you hear, but, generally speaking, even this would only be mildly helpful and would always lead back to the requirement that 'you have to hear it.' Art criticism fucking sucks and it's a shame we need it.

I highly like Protest The Hero. Kezia is one of my favorite albums of 2006. Jadea Kelly's (the girl) voice is so beautiful and Walker's voice is different and I actually enjoy it. Kinda like The Mars Volta meets technical metal. I don't expect most metalheads to enjoy them. Life outside their box is too big and scary.

This is funny. I believe they are the same band this black dude was listening to in the gym a few months ago. I had been listening to Origin or something like that, and when I stopped, he played his CD which I figured (incorrectly) would be rap. He's in my Political Science Research and Statistics class so I'll have to ask him.
