歌手简介

简介：Threat Signal是加拿大的新近旋律死亡乐队，本世纪最初的几年随着美式金属核的崛起而暂露头角。Riff部分根源于传统激流死亡的节奏与模式，而旋律部分与欧洲知名的几支旋律死亡也不尽相同，更多的是基于美式新金、工业式的伴奏，正接近时下流行的新激流，却比大多美国同行们纯粹、清晰。死亡部分就是死亡，旋律部分就是旋律，没有乱七八糟的搅和成一锅粥。时尚与技术并重便是其特色所在

A relatively melodic metalcore act with some death and thrash influences, Hamilton, Ontario's Threat Signal sit comfortably next to contemporaries like Fear Factory and Lamb of God. Threat Signal were formed in 2003 by singer Jon Howard and his cousin, lead guitarist Rich Howard, filled out with rhythm guitarist Kyle McKnight, bassist Marco Bressette, and drummer Adam Matthews. After achieving some early notoriety in the international online metal community, with four of their demo tracks achieving heavy airplay on various websites, Threat Signal released the Rational Eyes EP through the digital-oriented label Gomek Records in 2005. Although Threat Signal signed with the respected metal indie Nuclear Blast Records and recorded their first album with Fear Factory guitarist Christian Olde Wolbers later that same year, a period of personnel instability delayed its release for nearly a year. Drummer Adam Matthews was the first to leave, replaced by George Parfitt. Then founding guitarist Rich Howard split, with Bressette taking over lead guitar duties while Pat Kavanagh was drafted into the bass slot. Following the delayed release of debut album Under Reprisal and an extensive tour, Bressette left Threat Signal suddenly in March 2007; in an interview with Canadian music website Chartattack, Howard and Parfitt claimed he resigned via a two-line e-mail. Undaunted, Threat Signal began demoing material for their second album while auditioning new guitarists.
