New Band To Burn One To-Brad Olsen

Brad Olsen  is a one man band from Warner Robins, GA. Brad  plays guitar, does vocals, plays bass and has the skills in recording which allows him to create intricate backing tracks with drums. He plays a style of heavy metal which is heavily influenced by the Sabbathian stoner / doom styling's of bands like High On Fire, Mastodon, Sleep, Electric Wizard, and, of course, the mighty Sabbath themselves. He has also recently begun to experiment with speed and black metal riffs as well as Southern rock / metal. Brad considers his style of music a blending of detuned, fuzzed out, tribal stoner / doom (or "stoom"), speed-bound, thrashy, yet somewhat progressive, black metal, and laid back, honky tonkin', finger pickin', bluegrass stylin, southern metal. Sounds weird, I know, but it works for him. Brad has just started to play live shows around the middle GA area so keep an eye out for him.

Heavy Planet Updates

Sorry for the lack of updates as of late, I've been a little busy with some other projects. I am getting a little bit behind on some of the band requests. If you submit your band right now it usually takes about a month and a half to get posted. Please be patient as I will eventually post your band, unless it does not fit into the scope of the blog. A special thanks goes out to Toby aka Inspired , a one time reader of the blog to now a contributor. Toby provides CD reviews and Concert reviews to the blog every now and then and does a tremendous job. If anyone else is willing to contribute, don't be afraid to hit me up. It is a cool chance to get some free swag every once in a while. Thanks for all the kind comments that I receive in my e-mail, I really appreciate it. I kind of like where the format is at so I will not be making any changes at this time. One thing that I do ask is that you show your appreciation to the bands by purchasing their music/merch off of their MySpace/website. If the band offers a free download of their music please send them a simple thank you. Alright, peace!
