Man Of The Hour
This Scottish band had a definite for-the-fun-of-it vibe going,
what with their everyday-guys image, corny stage
names like Steve Power and Tommy Concrete,
and tongue-in-cheek song titles such as "I Only Give A Shit"
and "Werewolf Lover".
Musically, there was a clear
Pantera
edge in the guitar work, particularly the chugging riffs,
while the vocals ranged from higher-pitched screams
(kind of a poor man's Warrel Dane) to a
gruffer roar.
Not quite thrash, not quite doom (they do slow it down
on occasion), not quite traditional
metal, but really a mixture of all three,
Destroy The Machines Of Slaughter (the band's second
album, released in 2007) was never going to change the world,
but it's a fun listen, and a good recommendation for those
into straightforward, no-frills metal.
The band broke up in January 2010.
