Review
"I've never heart something like this before!"
Jameson, should have been much bigger then now.
Offering a unique sound, with putting together so many types of metal , without sounding experimental.
These guys really bring back good old Heavy Metal. More of that, they should be the bringers of metal.
But actually these guys are more then just a Heavy Metal band...
Jameson sound is heavy. Influenced by the modern and the old metalscene, these guys combine the time line perfectly.
"Down For The Count", the debut album, released in 2008 is a big step forward to many bands in this time.
You'll find a lot of hardcore riffing, breakdowns and a bunch of great guitar solos.
A lot of riffs to bang the head, one heavier then the other keeps the album being the entertainment system for a whole evening. The vocals of their singer Matt lean on a mixture of sick skirling and gnarly serious screaming. Chimaira's singer could be envy to this guy!
A big highlight are the guitar solos of "Get To The Choppah" and "Rocktimus Prime", which both are pulled into the length. This is pretty impressing. Also the last track, the Michael Jackson Cover is a great tribute to the King Of Pop. These guys master it, writing a nearly own composition of the song "Beat It". They truly beat it. The song is impressing and memorable, also it is recognizable to the original.
These guys truly have their own sound, associated with Hardcore, Nu-metal, Metalcore, and with groovy and heavy luster. For an unsigned band, a band, whose sound remains in the head. Also funny titled songs, make this a great cd.
Another important point, what has to be said, is that the solos start calm and get longer and heavier, also the calm moments on this cd are perfectly positioned.
I ma normally not so much into metal, but this cd is full of haunting moments and melodies.
You have to check these guys out!
Seriously!
