For this week’s Unsigned Band of the Week post, we wanted to travel to the state that brought us legendary metal singer Phil Anselmo, the bands Crowbar, Eyehategod, Acid Bath, Iwrestledabearonce, and many more. I am of course am talking about the great state of Louisiana and for today’s band, we are traveling to West Monroe to check out a band that lists Devildriver, Rammstein, Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Testament to name a few as influences. The band we are talking about is the hard rock/metal band known as Ensilenced. The band formed in 2014 from the ashes of the band Cynical and they’ve been working hard ever since with releases like Two Face which received the award for 2014 Best Original Metal Song in Louisiana for the title track. The band released a brand new track for the world to check out in The Dark Of Night. I do have to say something and that is for an unmixed version, it kicks ass and I am anxious to hear what the mixed version sounds like. While I have heard various reviewers call out Killswitch Engage, I hear a little bit of Mushroomhead in Kyle Simpsons vocals on this track. The Singer/guitarist has this amazing ability to switch from the growls to melodies and that is pretty kick ass. The song kicks ass, the band kicks ass, so where the hell are the labels? They need to sign this band already and you should check them out. You can check them out on Facebook, Twitter, and Bandcamp. Check out the track below:
