小简介： 粗野、喧闹、神经质般的紧迫焦虑，这极端化的形象也许是American Head Charge留给我们的第一印象，然而这支明尼苏达波利斯乐队的另一面却鲜为人知。American Head Charge可以说是如今金属乐坛里最富有头脑、最为吸引人的乐队之一了。Martin和乐队如今的贝斯手Chad的相遇于一个康复中心，从此他们便开始了一起的合作，并组建乐队。American Head Charge的歌激烈而愤怒，却饱含真挚的情感，在他们的歌中充满着不和谐的节拍、扭曲的歌曲结构，还有震耳欲聋碾磨鼓膜的乐段——这同时与明快鲜亮的部分形成强烈的对照，并突显音乐中力度的强烈转变。 成立早期乐队风格为说唱金属，现在已成为美国重金属新激流(NWOAHM)的重要一员 Born out of a chance meeting in rehab between Cameron Heacock and Chad Hanks, Minneapolis-based industrial metal collective American Head Charge match their brutally executed music with their behavior. Heacock and Hanks, now known as Martin Cock and Mr. H.C. Banks III, formed AHC in the late '90s, releasing their critically acclaimed debut, War of Art, in 2001. The record scored the band -- which by then included guitarist Bryan Ottoson, keyboardist Justin Fowler, and drummer Christopher Emery -- a coveted slot on that year's Ozzfest tour, at which point the group splintered into a violent, drug-fueled nonentity that became known more for its on-stage/backstage mayhem than for its excellent musicianship. As the year progressed, the bandmembers, despite frequent trips back to rehab and the occasional near-suicidal meltdown, managed to continue to filter their rage into creativity, resulting in their 2005 ambitious sophomore effort, Feeding, their first for the Nitrus/DRT label.
