American head charge just so you know

clip

[@greg4254]

It's amazing to rediscover songs you have forgotten about completely but are so deeply engrained in your brain from decades ago. This happened to pop up on Spotify tonight out of nowhere and he brain instantly clicked. I would have probably never thought about this song the rest of my life of it weren't for a random play. Makes me wonder what else great music I have forgotten. Time flies. Don't take it for granted.

[@rustyfuzz470]

I feel that. I just found this song and heard it for the first time in 10-15 years. Didn’t even know what it was called, had to scour some Kerrang ‘00s playlists. That chorus is such an earworm!

I used to wait for this song to come on MTV2 because I never owned a computer as a kid, turn the volume up to 40 on my dads crappy old tube television and sing as loud and hard as I could.

Yeah I do and I agree, they were indeed awesome. Some of the free CDs with Kerrang were also great and sometimes there were even free video cassettes with the magazine. Early 00s metal scene was amazing, unlike today sadly.

C'mon guys, we listen to metal, get off the soap boxes. Jazz is king, blues started all of this, and even then it was born from the pain of slaves. Open your ears & you'll hear that different genres play to different mindsets. Music is the communication of feelings, and I'm sorry, this song will never evoke the anger that some bands like the aforementioned can. If you want more melody with heavy rhythm undertones, while still maintaining mostly clean vocals, look into Intandem - Deceivers(guitarist from Threatsignal)
