![]() Leprous - Down Has Leprous ever made a bad song? I almost picked their newest single, but it needs more time to digest. Haken - Earthrise I think most people may pick Crystallised or Celestial Elixir, but honestly, the instrumental section past the 3min mark in Earthrise wins me over every time. I know this more rock than metal, but it belongs either way.Ĭaligula's Horse - Turntail/ RUST Yes, cheating. Transatlantic - The Whirlwind When Daniel Gildenlöw is your live multi-instrumentalist and back-up vocalist. I just want to preface it with an apology for all the commentary, but it's so incredibly hard to only pick one song from each band! That precious moment in every metal-virgin's life where it all clicks, and you can never go back to radio-rock and top-40. Any potential metal-head on the fringe can listen to A7X, and immediately get the "it" of metal. My musical tastes have changed so much that A7X does come off as "easy listening." Despite that, they remain gifted song writers and talented musicians. Danny Elfman's obvious influence in that song can also be seen from bands like BTBAM and Native Construct.ĭo I like A7X now? Not particularly. From there I went to Lamb of God, then to Meshuggah, Gorjira, and Black Crown Initiate.Ī7X made some "weird" music, like A Little Piece of Heaven. Listening to some of A7X's metalcore stuff got me into heavier, screaming metal. From there we go to heavier melody-based metal bands, like Mastodon and The Human Abstract. I didn't used to like metal because it lacked a cohesive melody, but A7X had an easily accessible melody. You could draw a web of my current musical tastes outward from my intro to metal via A7X. ![]() They've done hard rock, metalcore, prog, heavy metal, even groove metal from time to time, but all of their songs are universally unique sounding to the band, and none of them delve into 'extreme ' they always stay centered, and relatively "easy-listening." The easy-access of A7X, combined with their extremely diverse discography makes them the perfect introductory metal band. Syn can fucking shred with the best of them, Matt had a great voice for the type of music, and The Rev was a very good drummer. ![]() But the song is mostly well composed and masterfully played. First time I ever got goosebumps from a song, I was listening to my local rock station and Afterlife came on.
