WHY RANK?

0 - Walls of Jericho - From the Motor City of Detroit comes the most savage sound in modern music.
From the Motor City of Detroit comes the most savage sound in modern music. Few bands possess as much metallic venom in their guitars while retaining the grit and concrete fury of hardcore/punk in their sounds as Walls Of Jericho. The music is propelled by the inhuman roar of Candace Kucsulain, whom regardless of her gender is one of the most energetic front-people in heavy music to grab a mic. Candace certainly is as tough as her vocals, having sustained a broken nose and gash to her head at a few shows and finishing her sets bloodied and bruised before going to the hospital. This stamina is on full display in the video for the band’s song “There Is No I In F--- You!". The video was filmed while they played to an over-capacity sold out crowd at Anaheim’s Chain Reaction.

0 - Overloaded, what does the term “Hard Rock” mean?
About Overloaded’s music, what does the term “Hard Rock” mean? Today, the term “Metal” really refers to death metal or metal core. The hard rock genre is essentially extinct, so few people have any sort of understanding of what hard rock is. First off, hard rock requires a singer who can sing with out relying on effects to deliver his voice such as distortion, auto tune etc. The voice has to come from a blues based foundation. Note, this is the opposite of progressive rock which is based on classical and operatic themes. Most people do not know that Prog rock and Hard rock are polar opposites. The guitars must have a warm sound. The amps are distorted, but not too the point of over-saturation. It is very important that a hard rock guitarist can strum an open chord with the distortion full on, and the listener can pick out every individual note. The riffs are geared to be a driving foundation for the vocals. The leads are written to be sing-able. In hard rock, the beat comes from a sense of “feel”. The emphasis is not about technicality, it’s about getting the point across. Different songs have different feels, and it’s important that the listener physically feels movement underneath the melodies.
