Dub WarMay already? Time for my usual roundup of ten great tracks you should hear from the past month. Spotify proved a bit of a problem with this one – so there are only three of the tracks on the playlist.
Track of the Month:
Skindred
Warning
Union Black
Benji Webbe has been around on the metal scene now for a good many years. First as the vocalist of ragga/(heavy) metallers Dub War, and then latterly as Skindred, and it always seemed that despite a lot of good press, and a whole number of good songs, it always seemed that his bands were always destined to be a niche thing. 2011 appears finally to have changed this, what with a seriously high-profile support slot on Rob Zombie’s first UK tour in twelve years, and now a new album that appears to have a fair amount of clout behind it – and more importantly, a cracking lead single. Easily the highlight of that support slot – it’s even better as a single, remarkably – this anthemic track kinda sounds nu-metal-ish…
