Review of the Columbus Ohio Newport show
Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 2:10 pmThe local music critic wrote a review of the show, and it was less than favorable.
This guy is notorious for slamming different genres of music that he is not into. His name is John Petric.
He writes for the local campus newspaper "The Other Paper"
He starts his review "Does death metal have to be so lifeless?" and states "The genre is simply Styx with cavities"
He rambles throughout the review focusing on his perception of the "Death Metal" genre.
I don't know about you all, but what the fuck is "prog rock" and what the hell is "death metal"?
Fuck genres, music is broken down into what is well crafted and executed or not.
When "John Genre" finally gets around to talking about the show/music he said that DTB had bone-crunching gobs of metal which came in trance-like meditative doses -- no small feat for a genre that prides itself on assaultive fusillades of guitar and drums.
He went on to say, Devin was that prog-rock-meets-death-metal-rarity -- a singer/guitarist with a self-deprecating sense of humor.
When John Petric writes of the show, it was favorable.
When he rants about his notion of what "death metal" should be, etc. HE PISSES ME OFF.
OK, I am better now!
