In recent years the art of heavy metal singing has been reduced to one sustained guttural yowl, so when a metal singer like Kyle Thomas comes along with a more melodic but equally fierce take--think a Southern Bruce Dickinson--there should be cause for much rejoicing in the metal community. OPEN FIRE is Thomas's first record with Southern metal stalwarts Alabama Thunderpussy, and with chops like these--ripping open tunes like "The Beggar," "The Cleansing," and "Whiskey War"--one hopes it will not be a short-lived tenure. And, oh yeah, the band shreds.
Audio Mixer: Ian Whalen.
Alabama Thunderpussy: Mike Bryant (bass guitar); Bryan Cox (drums); Erik Larson, Ryan Lake, Kyle Thomas.
Personnel: Kyle Thomas (vocals); Erik Larson, Ryan Lake (guitar); Bryan Cox (drums); Hormel Flansuego (percussion).
Rolling Stone (p.74) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Guitarist Ryan Lake can shred with the best, often navigating thick Sabbath-y soup but also noodling, lengthy, bluesy solos worthy of the Allman Brothers..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.47) - "ATP as a whole reign victorious, finally finding a vocalist strong enough to complement their sheer brute force." Alabama Thunderpussy Open Fire Songs Purchase Open Fire CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Open Fire album
 $6.39   
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of ...
| | Drive-By Truckers Southern Rock Opera CDs (2001) Digipak
Open Fire CD music
$11.99  
A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive rock fans lamenting the modern era's relative lack of story-driven albums divided into "Act I" and "Act II" will latch onto SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA with the same passion with which they embraced THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON ...
| | Dredg Catch Without Arms CD (2005)
Open Fire music CDs
$8.49
Early on, critics often described Dredg as a metal group. However, the quartet has since matured into a hard-edged indie-rock ensemble that seeks diversity and refinement in its music. On CATCH WITHOUT ARMS, the band favors highly orchestrated parts, dense guitar riffs, and powerful drumming. Each song is based around memorable vocal hooks and sensitive lyrical content.
Many tracks on CATCH ...
| | Clutch Pitchfork & Lost Needles CD (2005)
Open Fire songs
$10.69
Includes the complete PITCHFORK 7" EP (1991) and rare bonus tracks.
Pitchfork & Lost Needles includes Clutch's debut 7" in its four-song entirety and augments that with unreleased tracks and demo versions. As this set proves, the veteran quartet began as a band crouched between the Melvins, a viscous form of hardcore (think a slower, more economic Sick of It All), and the literate but still loud post-punk of Jawbox. "Wicker" is in blistering half-time, its layers of needling guitars and Neil Fallon's yawping proclamations ("Pacemaker! LIFE TAKER!") skinned to their barest, most powerful essence. "Arcadia" is three minutes of stocky thud, the sort of thing flannel-shirted bullies would blast from crappy boom boxes in the early '90s. The unreleased tracks are equally strong, from the low-slung grind of the perfectly named "Nero's Fiddle" to the relatively upbeat "Passive Restraints," a song tailor-made for pissing off parents or turfing lawns. "What Would a Wookie Do?" and "Bottoms Up, Socrates" date from the Robot Hive: Exodus sessions. As such they're more nuanced than Clutch's early work, but not by much. Fallon's vocals and lyrics take a ...
| | Sword Age Of Winters CD (2006)
Open Fire album
$9.49
Coming to grips with the Sword's unlikely genesis in the alternative music Mecca of Austin, TX, leads one to wonder whether heavy metal has finally become hip again. Depending on your generation, nothing will seem as simultaneously preposterous (Gen-X'ers who came of age during pop-metal's heyday and don't recognize it as an unrepresentative anomaly) or obvious (everyone else) when discussing a genre that's spent the bulk of its 35-year history on the absolute fringe of rock culture. If that isn't "alternative," well, what is? In any case, glorifying heavy metal's prototypical qualities is exactly what the Sword is all about, and their 2006 debut, Age of Winters, sees them joining California's High on Fire, Sweden's Witchcraft, and Australia's Wolfmother (to name but a few) at the forefront of what's gradually become known in the mid-'00s as the "heritage" or "retro-metal" movement. No, not stoner rock -- that's sooo ten years earlier! The only thing the Sword and their ilk have in common with most '90s stoner rockers is recognizing that all heavy metal empires are sprung from the Black Sabbath cornerstone, and the token ...
