Green Day

And now for a change Rock won the votation.

Well, I know that usually, I post the most recent albums that are lauched, but for this ocassion I will open an exception, because I would like to dedicate this band to a person that was and it will be always very special to me.

Green Day is an American rock trio formed in 1987. The band has consisted of Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals, guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass guitar, vocals), and Tré Cool (drums, percussion) for the majority of its existence.

In my opinion, Green Day is one of the bests Punk Rock bands at the moment. Their musics are composed by distorted guitar, fast, manic drums and high-treble bass. The style and lyrics of the band are very unique, so they can distinguish them self's among many other bands.

Here are a some of my favorites songs from Green Day.

Green Day - American Idiot

Green Day - Basket Case

Green Day - Jesus Of Suburbia

Green Day - Wake me up when September ends

Green Day - Longview

Green Day - Minority

Testament - The Formation Of Damnation

And once again Metal won the votation.

So this time I choose a Thrash Metal band, Testament.

Their lastest album is The Formation Of Damnation. It is the ninth studio album by Testament, which was released on April 29, 2008. It is the first album Testament has released since 1999's The Gathering, although the band re-recorded some of their early material for 2001's. It is also Testament's first release with original guitarist Alex Skolnick since 1992's The Ritual and bassist Greg Christian since 1994's Low.

The album debuted at no. 59 on the Billboard 200 Chart, selling 11,900 copies in its first week. It won the "Best Album" award at Metal Hammer's Golden Gods Awards ceremony on 16th June 2008, beating albums by Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, Children of Bodom and Down.

Here are a few songs from this new album. I hope that you enjoy it.
