Ok, so Black Like Vengeance may not be THAT little known around here in the metal scene (I've encountered enough people who know who they are), but you know, how many Americans or Canadians can say that they know who this band are? PROBABLY NOT MANY!
This band pretty much hauls a fair amount of ass. I first heard of them on some random music forum I used to loiter on. I never bothered to post because the people on it were dickheads who were incapable of intelligible arguments or anything for that matter. The name made me think of some whiny emo band in dire need of new lyrical topics, but in spite of that, I went and listened to them. Whiny emo band? Not likely.
Their first release is the 4 track EP 'All Has Blackened', which is really, really good! Like A Coma is possibly the best song on it, but it's too good to really pick just one good song on it. The second, 'Empty As The Day' seems heavier. It might also be because it's louder. No, it's heavier.
The first thing you're going to notice about Black Like Vengeance (probably) is that their vocalist Sheri is a female. And she's not a silly bimbo looking thing either. She's not a rake, nor is she all made of plastic and makeup. I had the opportunity to witness them perform once at a uber cheap gig when I was in lack of money, which I usually am, and boy are they great! The stage they were on was only small, and was pretty much non-elevated which gave Sheri the opportunity to ram herself into every person in the front row. I established contact, being in the front row and all.
If you're going to take my advice and listen to this band, listen to Asleep At A Wake. Then maybe Empty As The Day.
You know you want to listen to them. Female fronted metal is always fun.
