Like rock? ...Like metal? ...Like sex?
Pencils down, class. At this point, you’ve maybe heard ten seconds…
If you answered no to all of the questions, sign off now. Live your life as you were. Being a proud member
of the single most bland and robotic subfractional shard of humanity, you don’t deserve to be a part of this.
Twenty seconds… if you answered yes to any of the questions, welcome to the future.
Forget everything you knew about new rock, metal, and sex, you have just discovered THISMEANSYOU.
You hear Kim Dylla, and she's stuck in your head- so innocent and exposed, you don't suspect the performance
that is about to befall you. It's a trap, and you're stuck in the design- fresh, exquisitely constructed,
cunning and ferocious, ALIVE and not a twitch out of place. THISMEANSYOU will never be mistaken for any lesser
species, nor fall through the cracks in the soundscape. They need no faux-religious allegory nor horror imagery
to make you feel just a little bit dirty along with the rush. You can't imagine, all you can possibly do is
testify.
Bear witness and follow. (from This Means You's official Website)
What you've just read is one of the most unique ways I've ever heard a band describe themselves. With vocals
that make you think that you're listening to a mashup of Lacuna Coil and Arch Enemy! I first discovered this
band back in 2005 while listening to a local college station. The DJ said this next song has the most "metal"
title she'd ever heard!.."The Silent Summoning of a Demon's Cry!" I must say I was hooked even before the first
note! Needless to say that I immediately looked them up on MySpace (a site that was very new to me at the time).
I finally got the chance to see them in early 2008. Their live presence is a spectactle to behold! Thundering Drums,
Blistering Guitars, Melodies with Hooks, and vocals that can go from purring like a kitten to screaming like
a banshee!!
