Liste der Bands Heavy Metal Nailgun Paindustry

Emerging from an undisclosed location in Southern Germany is Nailgun. This new Heavy Metal band is comprised of 6 experienced performers from an eclectic array of musical backgrounds, featuring 2 guitarists, and 2 vocalists. Each has collaborated their collective interpretations of the genre, into the tightly nailed construction of this debut album.

The initial atmosphere is set with an orchestral ensemble of the old fashioned circus song, that is traditionally played at any circus, as the ring master welcomes you to the circus, with his heavy German accent. Then this 2 minute intro is integrated into track 2, Circus, which sounds like a mix of post Thrash, and Gothic Metal. Every 45 seconds you can hear the hideous cackle of an evil clown.

Each of the 10 songs sound very different. The bass music is always very noticeable and seems to lead the music. So the Sludge and Doom influences are deeply pronounced, whenever they come into play. The guitars are less commanding than the bass. They are melodic, with some occasional catchy hooks, but never seem to drive the music. On some songs the melodic guitars give the music a Gothic ambiance. One of the vocalists adds an exaggerated Gothic style of singing to the music. The other vocalist seems to be a James Hetfield sound alike. The drumming is very good, with many melodic beat patterns. Some of the songs seem to be influenced by the Heavy Metal styles of Running Wild and Iron Maiden.

They've got 2 guitarists, yet they don't dominate the music like I would expect to hear in a Heavy Metal band. This band is a Heavy Metal hybrid that is influenced by different genres, including Industrial Metal as the title, Paindustry suggests, in the vein of White Zombie. It's a fun album and I would like to buy it. But it's not on the market yet, as the band is unsigned. Music like this shouldn't be on the bidding block for too long.
