Pada awal mula kemunculan, sekitar akhir tahun 1995, SID terpengaruh gaya musik dari band-band asing seperti Green Day dan NOFX. Di kemudian hari, inspirasi musikal SID bergeser ke genre Punk 'n Roll à la grup musik Supersuckers, Living End dan Social Distortion.

M. Shadows

M. Shadows
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matthew Charles Sanders

, better known by his stage name M. Shadows (born July 31, 1981, in Hollister, California), is the vocalist/lead singer for the American band Avenged Sevenfold.

Biography

In his youth, Shadows was notorious for his disorderly conduct and misbehavior. He was quoted as saying "I was in between a good kid and a terrible kid - I had a good heart, but a terrible attitude." He attended Huntington Beach High School and was expelled from his middle school in the eighth grade. As the band was just starting out, he was the darker kid of the band (hence the name "Shadows") but he also wanted to incorporate his name, Matt, into his stage name. Matt was reduced to "M" because it had a better ring when combined with his stage name and ever since he has been known as M. Shadows.

Music career

Matt used to play the piano before he began to sing in his first band, "Successful Failure". When he was growing up, he listened to a lot of punk rock such as H2O and The Misfits and got into the metal scene when his father bought him Appetite for Destruction by Guns N' Roses after he had seen them on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball.

In following years, Shadows formed a number of bands with Avenged Sevenfold's rhythm guitarist Zacky Vengeance. Zacky was previously a member of a punk group called 'MPA-(Mad Porno Action)'. Shadows was in a band called Successful Failure in which The Rev was slotted to play drums (but was admittedly too good).[3] While in this band he penned the song "Streets," which would later be recorded after Avenged Sevenfold was formed, and released on the first album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. The album was a mix of metalcore and Punk rock but also includes a softer, more ballad-like song (Warmness On The Soul).

Shadows has stated that he feels a strong support for the troops serving the United States, having very close friends who are currently in service in Iraq. The song "M.I.A." ("Missing In Action") was reportedly written in tribute to these friends. The song "Gunslinger" from Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled album further expresses these feelings (though it was stated in the album's extra MVI that it's not just about troops - "It can be about anyone away from home, missing their families.") The song "Critical Acclaim" can be interpreted as an attack to those who criticize the soldiers fighting in Iraq.

Shadows has made guest appearances on numerous albums by numerous different artists. He also produced The Confession's 2007 album, Requiem, which, according to an interview, was one of the first steps which led to Avenged Sevenfold self-producing their 2007 self-titled album.[citation needed]

Vocal style

In the band's debut album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, M. Shadows' vocals had a heavy metalcore influence and consisted mostly of screaming and guttural growls. This style gradually decreased in later albums into more conventional clean singing and had been almost completely jettisoned (with the exception of backing introduction screams) by the release of City of Evil, the band's major label debut. Despite having admitted having minor throat surgery this was not a cause for the change and in an interview on All Excess, manager Larry Jacobson states that Shadows had decided several years before the making of City of Evil that it would be an all singing album. He had made it clear to their producer, Mudrock, that the album they were working on at the time Waking the Fallen would be half singing and half screaming, and that the next would be all singing. Because of his unique style, the Philadelphia Eagles have contacted him about singing the national anthem for Andy Reid's birthday at Lincoln Financial Field in 2009. In the past Shadows would sing on all parts of the songs during live performances, supporting the theory that he was no longer able to scream or growl. Perhaps becoming fed up with those claims, Shadows has resumed screaming again during live shows, this can be seen in the band's new live DVD "Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough" In almost all of the songs in the DVD, he does a 5 to 7 second long scream, and does some screaming vocals for Second Heartbeat and Unholy Confessions. Some of Shadows' biggest musical influences are Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Mr. Bungle, Queen and Guns N' Roses.

Biography

In the Avenged Sevenfold DVD All Excess he recalls that before Avenged Sevenfold, he was in a one time punk band called MPA*, which stands for Mad Porno Action. He implies that they were not successful. He and M. Shadows (who at the time was singer for a band named Successful Failure) formed Avenged Sevenfold. He was also responsible for the creation of the acronym "A7X".[1] He is left-handed. He taught himself how to play the guitar when he was thirteen. Zacky Vengeance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The guitar he first learned on was actually his dad's, who was right-handed. He learned by watching his favorite bands and other people he knew who played and practiced as much as he could. He would also read each edition of Guitar World cover to cover, learning the tabs of the songs published in there and watching the professionals perform it until he got it right. His influences in his style are Rancid, Misfits and Bad Religion. Zacky's favorite bands also include Pantera, Metallica, ELIXIR, and Guns N Roses.[citation needed]

He has a brother named Matt Baker who used to play in the band The Dear & Departed. He has a sister, named Zina Baker, now Zina Pacheco. She is married and has two kids, Zacky's niece and nephew. His parents are James and Maria.[citation needed]

Vengeance University
Zacky released a clothing line called "Vengeance University." He just released a new site called Vengenz.com. The line currently features t-shirts, hoodies, belt buckles and stickers in the shape of switchblade Vs. Many, if not all of the shirts in the line include his trademark "Est. 6661". The site is updated weekly with photos of travels and a "Gangster of the Week."

Dying Fetus merupakan band Death Metal yang terbentuk di tahun 1991 di kota Annaplis, Maryland, Amerika dimana personil mereka saat ini ada John Gallagher di gitar dan vokal, Mike Kimball di gitar, Sean Beasley di bass serta Trey Williams pada drum.

Mereka memiliki karakter musik yang ngeblast, dan cukup kompleks dipadu pada style gitar yang breakdown. Vokal mereka menggunakan style growl death metal dan terkadang juga scream.

Lirik-lirik mereka pun kebanyakan berbicara tentang sosial politik dan kritikan terhadap beberapa kebijakan perang termasuk invasi Amerika ke Irak. Dan selain berbicara tentang kebijakan perang, mereka juga mengkritik orang-orang yang bertopengkan agama sebagai pembenaran, sifat konsumerisme dan juga korporasi.

Di tahun 2001, beberapa personil band ini keluar dan hanya menyisakan John Gallagher. Keempat personil yang keluar dari Dying Fetus kemudian membentuk satu band death metal baru namun memiliki pengaruh musik grindcore yang cukup kental dengan nama Misery Index.
