T-shirt #57 - Uneven Structures ....(again!)

 Uneven Structure is a progressive metal band based in Metz, France. They play a style of post-metal which is heavily influenced by the Swedish extreme metal band Meshuggah



I have mostly listened to the Feebrus album 

but I will link to some newer stuff below:

T-shirt #56 - Devin Townsend

 Devin Townsend founded the extreme metal band Strapping Young Lad and was its primary songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist from 1994 to 2007. In his extensive solo career he has released more than 25 albums so far!
Devin is also one of the most eloquent metal guys out there and his singing technique is just great!
