The pits love these guys!
Countdown to COA: Avatar
Even though this band has lurked around for quite awhile, my radar only recently honed in on them, despite my love for Groove and Death Metal. Not until 2012 did the band’s frontman, Johannes Eckerström, adopt a clown-like countenance harkening … Continue Reading Countdown to COA: Avatar
Countdown to COA: Cane Hill
Do you miss the enraged sound of old Slipknot? Here’s a band inspired by the sound of Corey Taylor’s grizzled screams and growls and the down-tuned discord of whole band. If you love the Nu Metal and/or Industrial Metal genres, … Continue Reading Countdown to COA: Cane Hill
Countdown to COA: Body Count
The irony of the tiny white girl writing about Body Count over the tall black dude is not lost on me, but Rodney has stated multiple times that I’m more black than he is. I don’t even think he’s seen … Continue Reading Countdown to COA: Body Count
Countdown to COA: Behemoth
A contribution from Rodney: I cant wait to see these guys live, especially after seeing the DVD of their latest … Continue Reading Countdown to COA: Behemoth
Countdown to COA: Vimic

Countdown to COA: Whitechapel
So, change of plans on Countdowns: I’m only focusing on the low-billed acts I’m truly excited to check out. Also, Rodney will be helping me cover bands. Next up: Whitechapel! I’ll be perfectly honest…I have not put in as much … Continue Reading Countdown to COA: Whitechapel

Countdown to COA: Crobot
I was skeptical about this band when I saw “Hard Rock” as the genre. Today’s version of Hard Rock is a 3:30 minute song with formulaic structure which immediately turns me off. That kind of “rock” is NOT this band. … Continue Reading Countdown to COA: Crobot
Countdown to COA: Code Orange
Now THIS is a band I picked up on my radar a couple weeks ago thanks to Sirius XM Liquid Metal. I’m not kidding guys. Serious Metal Lady boner right here. I’m pretty sure I dropped a Sounds of My … Continue Reading Countdown to COA: Code Orange
