A Heavy Metal Beatles Song

Can you imagine an old Beatles' tune in heavy metal fashion? Well you don't have to try too hard to imagine because Rest Among Ruins has recorded a heavy metal cover of the Beatles' hit song "Eleanor Rigby" and made it available as a free download thru their purevolume™ page.

Here are a few other Rest Among Ruins tracks to get you hooked...

St. Patrick's Day Fun and Music

One thing I love about St. Patrick's Day is all the drunk happy people - JUST KIDDING!!! Yeah, I know, the day usually brings to mind partying, wild green outfits, and maybe even green beer (if you're old enough to drink, that is). It's kind of like celebrating Mardi Gras in your own town, right? Except on St. Patrick's Day, usually we HAVE to wear something GREEN (if not, you'd get pinched, that's for sure!).

While St. Patrick's Day started off as a Christian holiday to honor Ireland's patron saints, the holiday festivities began to spread out into other countries and became perhaps one of the most celebrated annual events all around the world. I usually celebrate it by enjoying some good live music and having lots of fun. If weather permits, I try to take my children out to a local "Shamrock Festival" like the one year when we got to watch the popular Richmond band, Carbon Leaf, play for free at an outdoor stage. That was exciting! Even my kids had a blast at that show.

Speaking of free music, one of the bands I've written about more than once here has a new song available for a free download. Check out the Baltimore-based heavy metal band Rest Among Ruins, and their new demo "Phys" which they are looking to get some feedback on for an upcoming full-length album. The band's got a new bassist, too, in case you like to keep up with the latest on these East Coast heavy metal bands.

Rest Among Ruins

If you live anywhere near the Baltimore-Washington-DC area, Rest Among Ruins is a band you'll want to check out when you're looking for a great night of hard rock and metal music. Attesting to their promising career is a sold out CD release show in November 2008.

The band was formed in 2006 and has quickly gathered a large (and still growing) fan base. The band's sound is described as an aggressive metal/alternative sound. No screaming solo vocalist dominates the sounds in Rest Among Ruins. Here you hear a harmony of vocals with lead singer/songwriter Mike Semesky, guitarist and back up vocalist Derrin Ruschell, guitarist Henry Kaldre, bass guitarist Jason Goldman-Petri, and the powerful drumming beats of Geoff Palmer. You can still distinguish the smoking hot guitar riffs which help define the melodies in their music. This is definitely a band that has its act and sound together.

Check out their album, The Depths, which is available for purchase through Amazon and CD Baby.
