Now, nation, our next stop on the underground, we go to the dirty south.
We're going to the dirty south.
We're talking way down there in the south where we think about bands such as Pantera.
Where we think about bands such as Down and Corrosion and Conformity, I Hate God, Crowbar.
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
You're talking that southern metal sound.
That sound that has a little bit of a sludgy reminiscence to it where it almost feels like
the walls are peeling the paint right off of them.
The paint is peeling right off of the walls, whichever way you wish to actually say it.
Hooray one tapes.
Not to mention, there's a lot of whiskey, there's a lot of moonshine, there's a lot
of weed, there's a lot of women, there's a lot going on.
We're talking about Sign of [Ab] the Southern Cross and we're not talking about the Black Sabbath track.
We're actually talking about the band.
This is a band that's been going strong since 2006 and the album that [N] was presented to me
by one of you lovely followers was entitled Mountains and Moonshine.
These guys are a group that really do everything that I just stated.
They really take the vein of bands such as Corrosion and Conformity and Down and Pantera
and really just thrust them together and do it very well.
You're able to see, or should I say hear, on their 13 track album, which is over 68
minutes in length, just the power that these guys have to really create some very, very
good Southern metal in the vein of basically Down and Corrosion and Conformity having a baby.
That's probably the best way to really describe these guys.
The vocalist has a lot of raw power behind his voice.
He definitely went to the same school of thought as, say, Phil in his down days, mixed with
a little bit of what you would get with Phil from Pantera.
Almost like there was just a lot of idolization going on there, which is not a bad thing at
all, because there's a lot of raw power behind what Phil was able to do with both of those bands.
Whenever you combine that together, you get a very dynamic vocal device.
That's what you hear here on Mountains and Moonshine.
These are songs that are very well crafted as well.
There's only a very few locations or places where I feel that maybe the construction of
the song was rushed a little bit.
Either that, or they just sort of got trapped in a little area where the transition maybe
wasn't as strong as it should have been or could have been, but it got the job done,
so it stayed.
Not a bad thing whatsoever.
In fact, that's a really good thing, because they're willing to kind of explore a little
bit of musical freedom.
And if something's not quite the best, if it still sounds rough and rugged, they're
not willing, or should I say, they are willing to keep it in there, give it that rugged feel,
which actually builds a little bit more character to the overall body of work.
Sign of the Southern Cross is actually a damn good band that you guys have suggested for
me for On the Underground.
These guys have gotten over 50,000 last FM plays, so they're not necessarily really bone
deep, really struggling and clawing their way just to try to get to 1,000 views or have
their stuff listened to by more than 20 people, but let me tell you, these guys certainly
have a lot of charm to them, and they are definitely one of the strongest acts that
I've listened to so far, so this is a good thing.
I like the way that the music kind of trudges on between track and track, but I also like
the fact that, very similar to a band such as Down, they're able to vary up the pace
a good bit.
This is not something where you're in that kind of slower -tempoed pacing with each and
every track throughout all 68 minutes.
No, no, no, no, no.
If they'd have done that, this would have been terribly dull and easily repetitive.
Instead, they're able to move it around a little bit.
They're able to be aggressive on some tracks.
They're able to use that sludgy sound that I love to talk about [Ab] on others, and there's
even one that's just an acoustic little, I don't know, you wouldn't call it a ballad.
It's just a slower song, one where they really strip it [A] down all the way to the [Ab] very basics,
and that's what makes this album so cool to listen to.
It's one of those things where you just want to, I don't know, sit there, listen to the
album, drink [N] a beer, maybe smoke a joint or something like that, call up a bitch or something
like that, and just enjoy life.
That's what this is all about.
It's all about enjoying life.
It's all about enjoying history, and it's all about enjoying Sign of the Southern Cross.
Now unfortunately, the person who submitted this to me didn't give me a lot of background
information to really share with you, so I'm sorry for that, guys.
However, I do have a link in the description box where you guys are going to be able to
find the album that I was able to listen to, and listen to it for yourself.
And this is something I certainly recommend.
In fact, some of you, I wouldn't be surprised if some of you already had this in your collection,
because, well, for the quality that I heard on this particular record, I'm surprised these
guys aren't bigger.
Maybe they are, and maybe these [Ab] guys aren't exactly the true definition of On the Underground,
but that's exactly where [N] they are, and it's our job, our responsibility, to get them known
enough where they're no longer on the Underground, but they're now above, walking the Earth,
scaring the daylights out of your fucking kids.
We'll see [Ab] you guys next time for the next exciting edition of On the Underground, and
I will talk to you guys then.
