So... for this post I was inspired to share 3 bands who some might classify as heavy but who have songs that appeal to a broader audience than just the metal crowd. (note I wrote this post before the last post with the National, but didn't post it yet, so this isn't the six degrees of separation idea, nevertheless worth checking out)
First off, Chevelle has a big sound for a trio and where I am from at least they do not get a lot of coverage. I might say underrated or appreciated in my opinion.
Next, Killswitch Engage has been hammering out tunes and has a very impressive volume of work. Their song "the End of Heartache" inspired this post. I can't help but listen to it loud and play the air guitar while banging my invisible dreads.
Lastly (for now at least), is In Flames. Again, another band with a vast catalogue of songs to choose from. These European imports always seem to make it to my ear at least a few times a week. The song I would like to share of theirs is slower paced but has the heavy sound and always makes me feel jolted, inspired and thoughtful. Enjoy.
