World Beneath World Brings Southern Metal Back to the World!

2011 has been a great year for the revival of pure unadulterated metal, a comeback of the genre for sure! So I get totally pumped when I'm turned on to new acts who are carrying on the torch of what made hard rock great in the first place. Well, I have found a new link in the metal chain, and that link is World Beneath World!

This Dallas Texas group breeds from the same genetic pool of the likes of Pantera and Damageplan - literally! World Beneath World's lead singer John Bone, served as the original vocalist for Dimebag's Damageplan in its infancy. Bone then rounded up his boys from his old Texas band Bone Circus and formed World Beneath World. The group has the feel of classic Pantera and that may be because Nein was produced and engineered by Sterling Winfield, who produced Pantera and Damageplan, as well as Mudvayne and other metal up and comers.

After releasing an EP, Bone and the boys found a groove from their southern heavy metal roots and redirected the sound into their new release Nein. I gotta thank those guys at DSN Music for picking another metal masterpiece to distribute to the masses, because Nein kicks ass!

Clever, Nein has nine tracks on it and each one will blow you away! My favs are The New American Way which is just a get down and rock hard single, Sophisticate which guitarist Razz Callahan just shreds on, and even a head bangin cover of The Cars' Candy-O which won't leave your head! All nine tracks stand apart and hold their own. Winfield really took his time and brought the sound out for a new legion of head-bangers to discover this brand of southern metal.

A lot of rockers have come out of the south over the last decade but have fallen into that alt-rock scene - please! Like the ladies say in the bars, we need real men! World Beneath World are the guys you want to party with and maybe share your girlfriend with - they are the real deal! Glad to see a new generation of true metal pioneers emerging from the south! Go download Nein on iTunes or Amazon.com today - totally worth the cash for some in your face metal this summer!
