Light This City

Palazzo Bowling & Beat Club, Chur

Die Band spielt „beinharten Thrash Metal“.
Stewart Mason von Allmusic beschrieb die Musik als schnellen Thrash Metal mit Death-Metal-Einflüssen, wobei die Gruppe die einzige Band mit einem solchen Stil mit einer Sängerin sei. Die Bandbiografie auf dem Facebook-Profil der Band gab Gruppen wie At the Gates, Carcass, Megadeth und Testament als Einflüsse an. In seiner Rezension zu Facing the Thousand gab Anzo Sadoni an, dass die Band mit The Black Dahlia Murder vergleichbar sei. Letztere setze jedoch stärker auf aggressiven Death Metal, wohingegen Light This City sich stärker an Bands wie den alten In Flames oder Desultory orientiere. In ihren Liedern lege die Band ihren Schwerpunkt meist auf Melodik. Der Gesang von Nichol seien tiefe „Growls, sinistere Schreie und Dani Filth-ähnliches Gekeife“Laut Florian Krapp vom Metal Hammer spielt die Band auf Stormchaser eine Mischung aus Bay-Area-Thrash-Metal, melodischem Death Metal und Hardcore Punk.

Melodic Death Metal from San Francisco.
Blasting out of the Bay Area, an area already proven to be fertile soil for many a metal band in the past, LIGHT THIS CITY is one young band that doesn’t take its forefathers’ legacies for granted. Tying the speed of the legendary Bay Area thrash titans alongside the extreme sound of European death metal, LIGHT THIS CITY possesses an acutely mature sound and an utterly unparalleled sense of professionalism and dedication to metal’s earliest roots not usually found in a band so young. In fact, upon joining the Prosthetic roster in early 2005, LIGHT THIS CITY had to pass the legal paperwork onto their parents, the band’s members were still busy passing their days pushing pencils in high school. With an average age of just 20, the band’s third effort, Facing The Thousand, shows extreme maturity behind their years, but it also shows that the band knows their heavy metal history.
Formed in 2002 around a mutual interested in melodic death metal like At The Gates and Carcass as much as the classic recordings of early thrash giants Megadeth and Testament, the band’s impressive debut The Hero Cycle led to a deal with Prosthetic Records shortly thereafter. Next came 2005’s critically-acclaimed Remains of The Gods, which earned the band a spot on Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles’ best of 2005 list. At the same time, front woman Laura Nichol, one of death metal’s few leading ladies, graced the pages of Revolver as one “The Hottest Chicks In Metal.”
