Lately, I've been enjoying a lot of what I call "Southern Swamp Metal" and Texas Hippie Coalition is currently reigning supreme; for the record, I fucking hate hippies. Totally divorcing the politics of musicians from the music that they create seems to be the only sensible approach to enjoying music in the first place.
Anyway, with that being said, I was a fan of "Dimebag" Darrell; his easy grace with the guitar was beautiful and the crushing riffs that he churned out were brutal, yet defined perfection. Hate his drug abuse, excessive drinking and general lifestyle choices up until his death - but goddamn it, that mother fucker could pick the guitar.
Texas Hippie Coalition bring a little of that Pantera-era Dimebag sludge, or more affectionately, some down home "Southern Swamp Metal". Enjoy.
