What's that? You say you've never heard of PROTEST THE HERO?!? Well how rude of me. Allow me to introduce you to the greatest metal band on Earth. Period.
PtH combine mind-fucking mathcore riffs with beautiful vocal melodies and harmonies, complimented and contrasted by guttural growls. Their dual-lead guitar attack soars over equally agile bass lines, all over some of the most solid drums I've ever heard. Throwing all conventions of what music should sound like and all notions of song structure out the window, Protest the Hero have captured my heart and warped my mind. To be honest, I can't remember if I've done a TSFR on them or not, and even if I did, they deserve every bit of praise I throw their way.
To add to how cool this band already is, when Fortress was released, they made it avaible for free download on amazon.com on the launch date. Now how sick is that?!? Needless to say I downloaded, enjoyed, and later bought the album, which was worth every penny. Unfortunately, I've yet to catch one of their shows.
Anyway, enjoy the video from the 4th single off Fortress, "Spoils".

For some more kickass and PtH check out "Heretics and Killers" from their previous album Kezia, a sort 21st century telling of The Brothers Karamozov. Also, one of my favorite music videos of all time (see: flying monkeys).
