After rustling someone's jimmies by tagging the Andrew WK - Party Hard post as #metal, I decided to take up the endeavor of showing Hubski one of my new favorite Technical Deathcore bands, Boris the Blade.

I first discovered this band by accident, actually. While suffering through a particularly bad depressive episode, I had a "fuck it" moment: I decided, impulsively, to go to an Oceano concert taking place that night, with supporting acts Boris the Blade, and Lorna Shore (another REALLY awesome tech-death band.) At the end of their set, I was so impressed I ended up chatting up their lead guitarist for a while. BtB is based out of Australia, and manages to have a pretty distinct sound in comparison to other deathcore acts (such as Whitechapel or Carnifex.) Even when performing live, these guys were obvious veterans to the genre; every note was on point, every knob dialed in exactly how they wanted, every nuance accounted for sound-wise, and they STILL managed to have the most energy on stage that night, which really blew me away. They also had a shirt styled after a Game of Thrones White Walker sitting on the Iron Throne, which I bought immediately after their set; it wasn't much, but those guys deserve every bit of recognition they can get.

Now I'll be the first to admit, this kind of music is not everyone's cup of tea; but I know a few metalheads have to be out there in the Hubskiverse...right? :)

Well I've fanboyed WAY too much about these guys, so let me know what you think below if you like them! :D

I'm really digging this. I'll have to add this to my Spotify!
