Combining the elements of straight-edge hardcore, primitive '90s metalcore, and death metal, BMTH fused their own brand of crushing music that got the attention of the music industry.

The group would undergo a number of lineup changes (including the departure of Keith Morris to form the equally legendary Circle Jerks), most notably the insertion of vocalist Henry Rollins, future spoken word artist/author/alterna-hero/Gap model. By the release of Damaged, their first full-length album, Rollins' influence was apparent -- the band had acquired an overt Heavy Metal sound rife with three-minute guitar solos and head-banging riffs.

The band's transformation from Punk progenitors to Metal innovators was already underfoot by the time they unleashed Animosity in 1984. After undergoing a radical line-up change, they re-emerged in 1991 with Blind, a record many of their punk followers couldn't hang with for being formally produced Metal. Poor them. Blind is a great album, and the single "Vote with a Bullet" is an explosive convergence of hard Sabbath riffs and politics.

Voracious touring followed, including appearances at the highly regarded Metalfest and Hellfest -- which is where they were approached by Victory Records. The band's debut, Cover Your Tracks was released in late 2004 on the label, and was heralded as one of the most brutal hardcore releases to date. While touring in support of Cover Your Tracks, they kicked around the idea of releasing a live album.

Released at a time when country was still considered dumb hick music by the legions of underground rock enthusiasts immersed in the D.C. Hardcore scene -- and with Palace Brothers still a long way off -- the record is the Sweetheart of the Rodeo of its generation. Rooted in the weird landscapes of the southwestern desert they came from, the Meat Puppets's fractured country/punk songs offered a never-before encountered number of chops that were, on top of it all, psychedelic as hell. They released great records into the '90s -- ever honing their craft -- but for many of their early fans, their sound became a little over-honed as the looseness and throw-away attitude of their Punk origins gave way to rigid musicianship and a creeping Zappa feel.

Also significant is the fact that a band founded in 1981 -- and not just any band, but a Punk band, no less -- continues to form a viable part of the output in the post-Post-Punk era. The Vandals' success rests on two identifiable reasons: their ability to laugh at almost anything without making themselves the butt of the joke, and their tireless touring, recording and fan recruiting. Along the way, they've moved from being mere pranksters in the Hardcore Punk world to VIPs. - Kali Holloway]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15526908&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss Hardcore Wed, 9 Dec 2009 10:53:45 -0800 Top Hardcore Artists on Rhapsody Online art.15526908 art.15526908 Enter Shikari art.15526908 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15526908&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15526908&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5923&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss Alt Metal Wed, 25 Mar 2009 21:05:46 -0700 Top Hardcore Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5923 art.5923 Spineshank art.5923 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5923&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5923&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68588&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss Skate Punk Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:28:40 -0800 Top Hardcore Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68588 art.68588 No Use For A Name art.68588 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68588&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68588&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6521&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss Skate Punk Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:31 -0800 Top Hardcore Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6521 art.6521 Guttermouth art.6521 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6521&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6521&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7273143&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss Skate Punk Fri, 4 Dec 2009 13:20:39 -0800 Top Hardcore Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7273143 art.7273143 T.S.O.L. art.7273143 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7273143&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7273143&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Femo-hardcore%2Fhardcore%2Fartist-chart.rss Dance With Me hit the shelves, the band had picked up on the vapid horror-movie theatrics of L.A.'s Punk scene; swapping political fervor for Goth Metal camp, the band squandered whatever potential they had to sit in the empyrean of Punk's greats.

Agent Orange was omnipresent back then. They were the soundtrack for this video as well as for a generation of skate punks. The Orange County power-trio gave birth to a sound that blended Surf with Heavy Metal and Power Pop. The guitar lead for their Skate Punk anthem "Blood Stains" was even ripped off by The Offspring on the chart-topping "Come out and Play."
