hey everyone. sorry i havent been on in ages...i haven't gone on gaia since last summer. im gonna try to start going on again and try to keep educating this world on underground music. but for now, ill give you an update on bands that have been going big lately.

For u crazy instrumental music lovers out there, give Animals As Leaders a listen. theyre really talented at what they do. very technical but yet has some metal influence. they keep a good solid beat and theres tricks here and there. they only have one album out and every song is pretty good. go download the songs "CAFO" and "Behaving Badly". for fans of Mastodon, Cloud Kicker, and Symphony X.

For post-hardcore screamo fans, listen to Abandon All Ships. Lots of people should know them by now. The heavy parts are typical, yet they won't fail to bring a good mosh pit going. what separates them from others is their good use of rave beats and party like synthesizers that will put a smile on your face every time you listen. A good mixture of screams and singing, and theyre not bad at all. Download "Take One Last Breath". theyre for fans of Attack Attack, I See Stars, and We Came As Romans.

Finally for the crazy deathcore bands, you mustve heard of the new emmure album. For those who haven't, i can tell you theyve earned the title for scariest band today. monstrous demonic screams from the vocalist will leave you shivering for days. lyrics are simple and ridiculous at times, but it really doesn't matter because the musical structure is so heavy that it feels like the end of the world every single second. They have four albums but the new "Speaker Of The Dead" album has some of the heaviest songs theyve ever made. Go Download "Solar Flare Homicide" and "Area 64-66" and see if that punishes your ears.....in a good way. for fans of Oceano, The Acacia Strain, and Dr. Acula.

theres so much dark rebellious music out there, but this is all ill give you for now. hope i did a good job educating today. feel free to criticize me.
