Early Man Discography of CDs

Early Man is a minimalist heavy metal duo (comprising drummer Adam Benatti and guitarist/singer Mike Conti) that worships at the altar of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and early Metallica. The sound is an undeniable throwback to the glory days of speed and doom metal, and Early Man does it right with righteous guitar riffs, pummeling drums, and wailing vocals. Interestingly, the face of metal has changed so much since its 1970s and '80s heyday that Early Man sounds sort of refreshing in the mid-2000s, offering up a wealth of sincere headbanging that is all the more appealing for its aspects of homage. Audio Mixer: John Angello. Recording information: Water Music, Hoboken, NJ (02/2005). Photographers: Pat ODell; Leigh Ledare. Early Man: Mike Conte, Adam Bennati. Personnel: Mike Conte (vocals, guitar); Matt Sweeney (guitar); Adam Bennati (drums).

Early Man music CDs Somewhere in the `80s, it appeared as though many metal guitarists began focusing on showing off how much they had practiced the speed and precision of their scales, rather than the importance of constructing songs around almighty riffs and/or crunchy power chords. And with an undisputed resurgence of `80s-era metal around the dawn of ...
