Southview
The Chaos of Ecstasy
Review by Gary Hill
With an abundance of new bands playing all the newer styles of heavy metal it's refreshing to hear a band cranking out "true metal" these days. You will hear a little thrash here, but no nu metal or rap metal is anywhere to be found. The band produces their own blend of the classic variety of metal. There are echoes of bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Motorhead to be found, but these are only parts of a sound that is a unique blending of these influences. This CD is just a three song EP, but I would look for great things from this outfit. For information about the band and the music (including links to download the songs), check out their website at www.southviewmetal.com.
