Hi there, My name is Charley and I am looking for a new project to sink my teeth into. I sing power/symphonic/death/opera metal and enjoy turning my hand to any vocal style. I have toured (UK only) so have some experience there too (even if only a little). My equipment is a good standard. I use Shure products including wireless Beta 58 microphone and in-ear monitoring. I have also had vocal tuition myself (as you never really stop learning) from trained opera tutors to Nightwish's very own Floor Jansen. If you fancy making some music and doing live shows, please do get in touch. My email address is [email protected]. Thanks! Charley

I came across the album "Gesundrian" by Diocletian while browsing the Season of Mist store. It's pretty powerful metal, and it describes a lot of war in its lyrics (which are written very well, in my opinion). I find it appropriate to categorize it as Battle Metal or War Metal, and I'm getting into them a lot more. Also, I decided to post this hear rather than in the album review section because I would want to give this album a few more close listens before I review it. I consider this as more of a recommendation of the band, so I hope some of you Battle Metal fans enjoy them

With their previous release, "Deathless", Revocation truly found their identity and put out an exceptional record, using diverse styles along the way. "Great Is Our Sin" has taken Revocation's brand of music to an even higher level. It's progressive, it's technical, it's melodic, it's heavy; it's everything you could ask for from a metal band. For the most part, the songs have very complex structures, using melodies in every which way possible, taking progressive breaks at appropriate times, and using various rhythms to get the most out of the music. But, more importantly, the songs are not repetitive in sound or palette at all. Dave Davidson and Dan Gargiulo drew from their many influences, including jazz, blues, thrash metal, death metal, and much more, and carefully put together this album. Also, Brett Bamberger and Ash Pearson held together the rhythm section, using the creative freedom they had in order to complement the guitar playing of Davidson and Gargiulo masterfully. To really put the icing on the cake, Davidson's soloing, once again, blew my mind and brought me to places I have never been. He really has a gift for taking a song and using every aspect of it to his advantage in composing a solo, and he never ceases to further his technical ability and creative genius. Beyond the instruments, Davidson's vocals are as powerful as ever, firing a barrage of chilling screams and deep growls throughout the entire album. Furthermore, the lyrical content stayed interesting, as always. The lyrics mainly criticize contemporary society, exploiting social class prejudices, greed, mass ignorance, and an overall corrupt people. However, there are odd nods in the direction of religion and history throughout the album. Overall, I find this to be a nearly perfect album. I know Revocation still has more potential and room for improvement, but I would recommend it to any fan of metal. It really impressed me. -
This was one of the first death metal albums I ever listened to, and rightfully so. There is no band quite like vital remains, and they took death metal to a place it had never been with "let us pray". Most of the songs are very lengthy, with a progressively heavy vibe to them, winding solos, powerful growls, and deadly riffs. But there's only so much you can say about an album so great that it speaks for itself, and there is no wonder as to why this record is praised as one of the staples in death metal history.
