In the Bible there are tales of mighty giants dwelling in faraway lands a long time ago, but there are giants amongst us today. We found a real-life giant in charge of the vocals of this Canadian band. The internet says that he is 6 feet and 8 inches tall and he growls like it. SOD is a wise band in extreme metal: if more people hear it, the group will gain more fans due to their efficient songwriting. They manage to make it accessible while keeping the music heavy and brutal. It is death, groove, melodeath, aggro, thrash, and they might convince fans of Pantera, Slipknot, Death and Metallica to gather together joyfully violently in a mosh pit. Nobody will need a PhD from the University of Dream Theater to understand SOD. The songs are big on the beat, and the growling is remarkably intelligible. It is growling but you can understand just about every word from the vocalist giant. If you can imagine the energy of Pantera and Slipknot with a bit more of death metal and a pinch of Motörhead, you could be a new convert to the cause.
