Kinda sad they had that, kill em all feel going on in the beginning. I had high hopes for this band, but just like everything else, they will be ruined by corporate America. Corporate America destroys the hunger that these bands need ,(destroyed good guitars too), to escape one hit wonderland. Look at all the old metal bands, those guys were poor as shit, but dedicated to their music. I remember Scott Ian talking about the bologna on hand diet. Hunger creates good music, not enough old school left here, that why everyone tours Europe and Japan. All the kids here are stoned on Disney and Bieber, like someone said. Pathetic I tell ya, just pathetic.
Yeah, it's like they combined their old sound with Bullet For My Valentine. I saw Black Tide open up for Bullet For My Valentine a couple years ago, both were very good. Looks like time on the road with BFMV influenced them bigtime.
Yeah, that's a dramatic change for the worst. But luckily there is Holy Grail. They have a similar sound to the old black tide. It's heavy, it's metal, has some 80's vibe to it sometimes, and badass shredding.
CD is definitely worth it. Live show is pretty good too. Somebody best put as "put a mixture of Judas priest and iron maiden in a time capsule in 1985 and reopen it 25 yrs later and you get Holy grail!"
I bought their first album when it came out and listened to it for quite some time but I've stopped following them after they kicked out the one member who doesn't act like a stuck up douche.
This is quite the change for a band that's main influences are Megadeth and Pantera...
