Sidewinder (band)
Sidewinder was an Australian rock band founded in 1991 in Canberra by brothers Martin and Nick Craft with Pip Branson and Shane Melder. Sidewinder were staples of the Australian alternative rock scene in the 1990s. They played their first live shows in 1991 and in 1992 signed to Half A Cow, the record label owned by ex-Canberran musician Nic Dalton (Lemonheads, Plunderers), which was later purchased by the multinational label Universal Music.
Sidewinder played their first live shows in 1991, when most of the members were still in high school. Within a year they had signed to Half A Cow, which was later taken over by the multinational label Universal Music.
Sidewinder released two albums and three EPS between 1992 and 1998, all of which were critically acclaimed and received solid Triple J and commercial airplay. These albums ‘traversed a broad sonic terrain, from Beatlesesque psychedelia to eardrum shattering ballsy rock’. Their second album, Tangerine (1997) made many top ten lists for the best album of the year, and is sometimes considered to be one of the finest Australian rock records of the 1990s.
City of Evil
City of Evil is the third studio album by Avenged Sevenfold released on June 6, 2005 by Warner Bros. Records. Co-produced by Andrew Murdock, City of Evil contains a more traditional heavy metal and hard rock sound than Avenged Sevenfold's previous two albums, which showcased a predominantly metalcore sound. The album is also notable for the absence of screaming vocals. M. Shadows worked for months before the album's release with vocal coach Ron Anderson, whose clients have included Axl Rose and Chris Cornell, to achieve a sound that had "grit while still having the tone". In order to increase stamina and strength on the pedals, The Rev would sit for hours practicing until he could get up to 210 beats per minute. The album was ranked No. 63 on Guitar World magazine's "100 Greatest Guitar Albums of All Time". City of Evil also appears in Kerrang's "666 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" and "50 Albums You Need To Hear Before You Die" The album was ranked No. 35 in Kerrang's list of "50 Greatest Metal Albums Ever" in 2016.
