Product Description

Seven full length albums into the game, Strung Out still has something to show the scene they so feverishly helped build. On their latest work, Blackhawks Over Los Angeles, hey once again collaborate with producer Matt Hyde (of Slayer and No Doubt production fame) to create what is truly the band's finest work to date. While Strung Out wrote and recorded Exile in Oblivion, their first project with Hyde, the band's sound and direction hit a turning point. Developing a more focused and driven approach to their song writing, the band quickly captured the positive attention of critics, in addition to receiving accolades from both old and new fans around the globe. On Blackhawks Over Los Angeles Strung Out effortlessly perfect the melding of technical musicianship (rooted in metal) within a melodious structure. Since the release of their last album Strung Out have been no strangers to the road, headlining the 2005 Van's Warp Tour, followed by tours of New Zealand, Australia and South America. Strung Out has never been a band that succumbs to the trends of the moment. They have always forged an original sound and with Matt Hyde at the helm, Blackhawks proves to be the band's most impressive and passionate album. Strung Out remain as a pillar of the Fat Wreck Chords family, with catalog sales surpassing 500,000 units. While sustaining their heavy melodic approach and commitment to their loyal fan base, Strung Out is prepared to show the world the fabric of their staying power.

前作も非常に良かったが、今作も最高!。メタリックな曲からポップな曲まで彼等の守備範囲の広さには脱帽です。しかも、ただ単に色んなジャンルの曲をするのではなく、構成や曲の展開の仕方には、ある程度一貫性が感じられますし、ポップな曲も随所にメタリックなテクニックが入ってたりして・・それも違和感が無いから凄い。むしろ、それが彼等らしくて良いですね。個人的には昔のStrungも良いけど、今のメタリックな感じのほうが断然しっくりきます。

Calling,PV見ました。かっこよかったす。でも正直あのツインのギターソロはどーかなって思いました 笑 メタルに傾倒したこの独自のサウンドは必聴!気にいったなら遡って聴いていって欲しいな。
