Went to see Tannhäuser today. My first real exposure to Richard Wagner, and while sitting in the theater it occurred to me that some musical phrases I was hearing sounded very much like heavy metal.
I am listening to Aaron Benward's song 'Heal me'.
I love listening to music but I had never listened to Aaron's songs previously. I found his name while searching for American names for one of my project on http://www.babynology.com/american_babynames.html. I became his fan and have listened to almost all of his songs like I killed Jesus, Shout to the lord, Hope you won't forget.
David Draiman has a great voice, but it tends to get buried in their more typical songs. Not to say that it isn't badass workout music, but I think it can bury the technical beauty of their individual contributions.
