Ok, thus far this is what I am thinking, and hang with me here, my thoughts tend to be all over the place. I also kind of like Hesitation Marks lol.<br/><br/>The group will definitely be heavy as all get out. I am thinking like in terms of a Lamb of God, and keeping the groove aspect from them. But with like the songwriting sensibilities and technicality of Mastodon and Machine Head. Slipknot's accessibility, since I feel like a lot of the songs would be on the heavier side, and quite brutal, but there'd always be an element of melody. You also give it an industrial edge, somewhat like Ministry and NIN but probably closer to Fear Factory as they combine industrial with thrash well. Their music style as a whole would be diverse, but heavy, technical and with a good deal of complexity. So you'd have songs that might have slower almost Sludge-like breakdowns but that go into faster, verses and choruses. Weird time signatures, that whole thing. I think if you asked my guy, he'd say they are a metal band. And they'd be a mainstream metal group, but also a gateway to a lot of real extreme metal. Also that their live shows would be killer.<br/><br/>So if this makes any sense lol, Lamb of God meets Machine Head meets Fear Factory meets Mastodon meets Slipknot with some sensibilities taken from Black and Death metal as far as the playing, but a punk/hardcore mindset.<br/><br/>All over the place, and somehow making it work.
