"I will live again" is "Into The Void" surely.

Is ANYONE going to this show tomorrow night?
I cannot, which I am terribly broken up about, but would like reviews if anyone's got 'em.
Please?

I am going to try to go. If I don't make it, Kip (drummer boy) is going and I'll let you know what he has to say.

Saw them last night at the Southgate House in Newport, KY. I really, really wanted to like it. Really, I did. But I gotta be honest - I was very underwhelmed. The band was really well rehearsed, I'll give them that, but the songwriting failed to engage me, as did the vocals. That said, if you enjoy the stuff on their Myspace page (linked above by Chapter Two), then you'll likely enjoy their set.

My highlight was getting to see Tony Bailey play good rowdy drums again. He's been one of the better drummers in Louisville, and the past few times I've seen him have been in mellower bands, so that was a treat to see him rock out a bit.

The music is not my cup of tea, but I quite like the way the attitude is brought out if you let your cursor linger over the "About Dead Child" photo:

You know how instrumental music has a lot of crap? Like Primus and Bela and the Flecktones and Eric Johnson and Joe Satriani? Like as a genre it's prone to being stupid? And then there are these occasional bands like Breadwinner or the Shadowy Men or what have you that can take some of the moves some of the sounds and make them uniquely theirs and simultaneously step out of- and redeem the genre for a while?

I have been getting into Dead Child. I have a profound distaste for NWOBHM metal. It is probably the stupidest sub-genre of metal. All the wailing and the chugging with none of the dread or actual rocking of better metal and hard rock bands.

Well Dead Child is like the Breadwinner of that, if you get me. Even the singing is good. They have taken the sounds of that idiom, personalized and refined them, and removed all the camp, the self-obsession and the pose. They used these new, abstracted vesions of the sounds as an alphabet to build a different kind of metal.

I really like it.
