Since then, they have rocked every major LA club as well as major events such as ‘The Smoke Out Tour’, ‘The Panasonic Shockwave Core Tour’, The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and ‘The Bodog Music National Tour’. They were voted National Finalists (top 3) in the ‘2006 Energizer Titanium E2 Best New Song Contest' for their song, "Nightmare". They have also recently been nominated for ‘Best Live Band’ and ‘Best Underground Band' for the 2006 Rock City News Mag’ "Rockies" and have been voted ‘Band of the Week’ 4 times by the top S. California music & culture magazines. BLAXMYTH has proudly preserved & perfected the dominant rhythmic musical style called "GHETTO METAL" and are currently competing in the ‘BODOG Music $1 Million Battle of the Bands’ Competition.
GHETTO METAL is a perfect melodic fusion of the most gritty and powerful forms of music: alternative rock, heavy metal, funk, blues, rap and hip-hop. The rhythms are vibrant, melodic, infectious, tribal and brilliantly crucial. The lyrics reveal the desperate quest for life’s understanding, human relations, true love, peace, tolerance and civil liberty amid the merciless tyranny, autocratic regimes and political monopolies throughout the world.
GHETTO METAL is much more than just prophetic & passionate libretto blended perfectly over daring, orchestrated street symphonies. It is motivating analytical meanings cleverly woven within passionate, defiant messages. It introduces a revolutionary way of thinking & living and is the core foundation of our social-political movement. The magnetizing effect of this dramatic sound on new diverse cultures/audiences is instantly addictive. It can be described as a non-denominational, multi-cultural, multinational ‘call to action’.
The BLAXMYTH name, image, logo and movement represent powerful radical ideals, re-education & enlightenment and the reclaiming of personal freedoms. Musical legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, Bob Marley, George Clinton, Fishbone, Public Enemy, U2, Paris, NWA, Rage Against The Machine, Spearhead, System of a Down and Tupac have sacrificed and paved the way for the modern conscious, radical artist. This has motivated BLAXMYTH to resurrect and redefine the new urban rock sound & carry the torch onto the next generation.
Soon it will be known worldwide that BLAXMYTH is the messenger to the people & ambassador to the volatile streets…and that ‘Ghetto Metal’ is the scripture for how to survive them.
