Genre: Art Metal
From: Gothenburg, Sweden
Composed of: Seb – Vocals
Patrik – Guitar
Simon – Guitar
Jake – Bass
Tobias – Drums
Formed in 2010, they released their EP “Absorb” in 2011, and
their newest EP “Owls and Snakes” in 2012.
Now because of the sheer complexity of each song, and the ability to
sound like a few different genres, they have labeled themselves as the world’s
first “art metal” band. BatAAr stands
alone compared to any other band because of the diversity of their sound. Songs are complex and evolving throughout by
adding in new melodies seamlessly creating dynamic and shape. One song could sound like hard rock, while
the next could sound like pure aggression and rage, or even a combination of
the two styles at different parts in the song.
This is one mosh pit I wouldn’t like to be involved in because it would
just be a bloodbath. Everything moves
flawlessly, especially while changing up styles. Any metalhead should have BatAAr in at least
one playlist. It sounds like live it
would just be a continual wave of energy being shoved down the audiences’
throat until the last note. BatAAr is a
very cool and unique band, who is totally worth taking a look at.
My Verdict: Like – amazing hard core energy filled with
aggression and rage, but at the same time is able to take it down from 11 when
needed at times.

They have a self-title EP out, and have just released their
new single “Grave.” Formed in 2010, if
you want crunchy rock guitar, pounding drums, and absolute kickass vocals, then
look no further. So much great energy
from every angle; if it’s not the guitar driving into the back of your brain,
or the drums getting right into your bones, it’s the amazing voice of
Mixi. The harmony of her voice and the
rest of the music go together so perfectly.
In terms that may make a little more sense to some people; they’re like Paramore,
except much harder, much hotter, and all round just so much better in every
way. Actually they aren’t like Paramore
at all. I think they would probably eat
Hayley Williams for breakfast; it would a superb mix of bloodbath and eroticism.
Would be a good family fun time. They just sound like they would fucking
kickass live. Get ready to cuddle up
into the mosh pit and beat the piss out the guy next to you. Stitched Up Heart is a pretty sick band who
are totally worth checking out if you like hard rock, and even if you don’t, go
take a listen cuz you just never know right.
My Verdict: Like – and to be honest, I couldn’t take my eyes
or ears off Mixi. She is definitely one
hell of a talented singer and the band is just fantastic.
