Blackguard - Emo's, Austin TX - November 14, 2009

[from Montreal, Quebec, Canada] I might enjoy a little speed metal every now and then, but never ever never drama-metal – theatre geeks gone thrash – ech… soaring vocals and undertones…  – what did fascinate me about this band was their synchronized head-banging…  the long hair of all 4 guys incessantly swirling in simultaneous circles – it’s got to affect their musicianship – and I kept wondering what an uninitiated person would think of the whole scene – it’s funny what sorts of behaviors we come to accept as normal (Photo courtesy of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiftGrZ-xuQ)
