SOMEONE (STILL NEEDS TO) SIGN THIS BAND, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY

This past October I tried to help get the word out about Texas’ By Any Means Necessary, who are one of my most favorite unsigned acts out there right now. Seriously – I listened to this group’s three-song EP more times last year some of the so-called “best” releases of ‘08. I think this band fucking rocks.

Unfortunately, the band remains unsigned… but hopefully that will change soon. Vocalist Adam Wright just e-mailed me to say that the band is heading into the studio to record a new demo with Scott Sargeant, the former Skinlab guitarist who produced Lääz Rockit’s 2008 release, Left for Dead.

Personally, I’m just excited to see what these boys do next. While I wait, check out their MySpace page, and if you’re an industry person, maybe think about signing them, m’kay?

    But the singer has no testicles? And sounds like the cookie monsters 7 year old little brother.

  2. Sammy says:

    Two words: porn ’stache.

  3. Patton says:

    Hmm I bet none of the band members can legally buy alcohol yet. Sound like they could make it big, good luck.

  4. SP420 says:

    Are you serious? This band is a Shadows Fall ripoff with shitty deathcore vocals. Too bad too because whoever did their cover/cd art wasted their talent on such a talentless band.

  5. builtforsin says:

    Reasons not signed:

    You can not tour if your 12.
    No one likes Lamb of God anymore.

    • ceth says:

      When did you get the memo about no one liking Lamb of God anymore? I haven’t gotten that one yet. I actually like the sounds of that band, at least what they have posted up on myspace. I would listen to it again. By the way,post up that memo on no one likeing Lamb of God, I think there are a lot of people on here that haven’t gotten it yet and would be surprised to read that information.

    • CJ says:

      Yeah. What ceth said. You’re a dumbass.

  6. Gourav says:

    they sound somewhat.. composed right
    but yeah, these kids look young
    wait a little older lets have them practice and get better

  7. Gothian says:

    Hahahahaha

  8. Gothian says:

    I can’t get enough of this site…. I’ve been reading news here for a couple of years now and it is just getting better….. really funny comments here.

    I thinks that award-shit really helped

  9. akolbe says:

    i thought it sounded pretty good… and then the vocals came in and killed it

  10. bob says:

    you condescending old fucks!
    who cares how old they are?
    they have been playing together for a few years now, for good or bad.
    personally I couldn’t give 2 shits about there music as it is derivative thrash proto-death shiite that a million other shit heads are doing right now .Which includes many old ass douche wipes that don’t know when to quit.I can say they are tighter than a lot of the older metal bands in this town (Austin) and despite there age or whatever they pay there metal fuckin dues.
    yeah sign them , there are far worse that are signed already.

  11. Rida says:

    Well, I guess I’ll be the first to say, I liked them enough to add them, and I don’t just add any band xD. Can’t wait to hear what they have up their sleeves :D, they have a great sound

  12. HueyLewisandTheFaceless says:

    I think they kinda sound like Iron Maiden and The Scorps man.

  13. Jesse says:

    builtforsin, wtf are you talking about? What do you mean no one likes Lamb of God anymore?

  14. Ryan says:

    Hatchetwork needs to get signed that is some good shit.

  15. o0Stacey0o says:

    I dug them the first time you guys featured them. I’m honestly surprised that they still haven’t been scooped up. Shame. Hopefully it happens soon before they get pissed at each other and break up. Oh Meg, you and your drugs.

  16. Jon says:

    Music is good but vocals suck, get a new singer fellas and you’ll probably make it. That’s what any label will make you do anyways. Get the frontman from war within(austin) heard hes looking for a band

    • txdm says:

      Really? How many labels have you worked for?

      Dumbass.

      • Jon says:

        2 …You Fuck!! And another thing txdm…why are you commenting on “heavy” metal posts arent you suppose to be sucking all the shitty death metal band’s dicks?

        Pussy

  17. Muzikwhore says:

    Come on!!! These kids r damn good! Better then other shit out there that is signed like Black Tide! Met the drummer @ NAMM this year and got that demo cd. They remind me of a young Chimaira. Somebody will snag these guys soon.

  18. Jeef0 says:

    Fuck you old ass haters! This band is damn talented and the vocalist has damn good energy live! Someone SHOULD sign this band!

  19. Timmy says:

    I dont understand the hate. Probably because their young? But this band really stands out among the pack of young metal bands from Texas. Shredding leads, powerful vocals, awesome drummer and solid bassist. You crusty forum trolls need to wake up, trim your mullets, and show some respect!

  20. Mr_izan says:

    these guys are FUCKING bad-ass I’ve been listening to them since metalsucks first promoted them in october. Surprising they haven’t been signed yet.
    Oh and the age issue needs to be dropped. It’s music, not a liquor store.

  21. Noel says:

    total studio work. I will believe they play like this when someone shows me a live video. Also, I must be the only one who like the vocals. at least hes not pig squeeling and screeching like a poison the well faggot.
    music is technical, but lacks substance a bit.

  22. David says:

    Fuck that was cool.

    Not really Thrash or Death but its heavy and I like it.

  23. GraZmus says:

    This band is brilliant.. Great Music, Great vocals… I dont understand the Hate from some people.. They dont look that young to me either?

  24. CJ says:

    Metalsucks should start a record company.

  25. ROFL says:

    Vocals are HORRIBLE!
