Please Tell BMTH Not To Wash Their Dicks

So I discovered this band over the summer. Not my typical style of music, but damn. Okay, I'll be honest, I saw him first, and my curiosity was piqued. I mean, fuck. The things I wouldn't do to this boy.

I tentatively started checking them out, making absolutely sure I wanted to spend something like $25 on iTunes for their sophomore album, Suicide Season Deluxe Edition. I dig it. And once the new album, There Is A Hell Believe Me I've Seen It, There Is A Heaven Let's Keep It A Secret, dropped, I was hooked.

Before the third album came out, I was super-hesitant to categorize this band as "metal." The first album, Count Your Blessings, maybe. But seriously? I can't resist that throaty, sexy growl of his.  Sykes' "Ohhwhhh!" is like the heavy metal version of Andrew Dice Clay's (and I know you know what I'm talking about.)  It's so hard to believe all that screaming and growling comes out of that pretty little mouth of his. But I'd have to say the only reason I hesitate to declare them officially "heavy metal" is the teenybopper-esque following that Oliver Skyes has gained. It's quite sickening. I will not put this band among the ranks of Metallica, Slayer, Judas Priest or Iron Maiden simply because of this fact.

Dane's Discography Breakdown:

Pretty good. The most "metal" out of their three albums, I'd say. Lots of fast guitars and drums.

"I whispered in her ear:
You better fear me dear, for I am Death,
And I'll take that shit you call a life,
In a single fucking breath

I'll take your hope,
I'll take your fucking dreams,
I'll take your love,

         I'll take everything you fucking bitch."

More of a trainwreck, but makes for good party music, especially the Cut Up! disc that comes with the deluxe edition. Some songs make me go, "Aw, c'mon boys, my ears are not trashcans!" but with lyrics like
"Party til you pass out
Drink til you're dead
Dance all night til you can't feel your legs"

with some angst such as

"If I had it my way
I'd slit your throat with the knife
That you left in my back"

And of course there's

"After all the shit you put me through
  I should have fucking pissed on you"

thrown in for good measure, it's kind of irresistable.

The boys I think have finally found their element. This album is more mature, very well-written, more melodic and holy shit, I cannot wait to have dirty, angry sex with it blasting in the background. Plus the double bass drum licks are enough to get me wet between the legs every time.

"Let's play a game of Russian Roulette
I'll load the guns,
You place the bets."
