Powderburn is an Austin, Texas–based rock band. They formed in 1998 and have released three full-length CDs under independent labels. The group is one of the foremost acts in the metal scene in the city of Austin, having won several honors in the city's annual awards show, and is sponsored by several significant companies. The band was started by Josh Klayman, the previous lead guitarist, and as a result of his departure, there are no founding members of the band currently in the lineup. ==Style== Powderburn's style of music began as a mix of the controversial "nu metal" with 80s style composition under harmonized 3 part vocals. Their first CD, ''A New Sin'', with Original lead singer Kerry Jennings is an aggressively brutal recording characterized by guitar driven aggression and Jennings growling vocals mixed with his heartfelt melodies. This album produced the hit song and crowd favorite "Now You Know" that was the number 1 downloaded metalcore song in the world on mp3.com in 2001. Their second full-length CD simply called ''Powderburn'', made a shift to more complex composition - leaning more towards the "80s style" and moving towards more drum-driven guitar riffs. That album also marked a change in the vocal style, where at various points all 4 members contributed to vocals. In early 2006, Powderburn released a single entitled ''A Bloodstained Memory'', which was the first recorded track with new drummer Patrick Swift. This track displays a return to the guitar-driven style that the band started out with. There is also a shift to more commercialized style, with less focus on aggression and more focus on groove and moderate tempo. In January 2007, Powderburn released their first CD in over three years, entitled "Echoed in Red". This record follows the songwriting trend begun with "A Bloodstained Memory", which indeed is included on the disc. It comes packaged with a DVD that contains three music videos and an interview with all four band members. In the months of December 2007 into January 2008, Powderburn began writing intensely with new lead guitarist Eric Anthony, and there was to be yet another shift in songwriting style, with the range increasing from simple, groove-laden commercial tracks to include a wider range of common metal subgenres, including thrash and speed, and also ranging farther into softer and more melodic territories. As of September 2009, Powderburn's MySpace page states that the new record, titled "One Fix", would be released in the last week of October 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Powderburn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
