LGBTQ Heavy Metal: Echo Black – “Dawn”

Echo Black

“Dawn”

Dawn

What a band.  This is one of the great kick ass bands of all time.  This band is a proud member of the LGBTQ community.  That is the least of their greatness.  Echo Black, comprised of DANNY BLU, FELIX SKIVER, BILLY LONG, and ROB GNARLY, combine of the best of heavy metal and glam into a mix that is so different from before.  Imagine if Gay For Johnny Depp played glam metal, or if Japan (David Sylvain) was twice as heavy.  Danny Blu has this tremendous voice that sing anything, and I mean anything.  Production is crisp and never overdone, the lyrics are meaningful, the music is riffed galore, the video is super visually kick ass.  Echo Black has everything.  I love the fact that they prove that there is more to Queer Rock than soul or queercore or disco (not that there is anything wrong with that at all).  I love Echo Black so much.
