 Post subject: Ninja Metal - JONIN
PostPosted: Thu Jun 16, 2005 7:30 am

In feudal Japan, the title of Jonin was often given to the leaders of warrior clans. a man of wisdom and influence shrouded in mystery, the Jonin instilled his followers with a fierce willingness to do what no one else would. The raleigh, nc quintet Jonin took on the moniker as a reflection of its members’ ideals of what a band could be. Drawing comparisons to classic arena rock, european metal and contemporary alternative, Jonin is carving its own, unique path; defying expectations, shrugging off definitions

Note to band: The music is excellent. Get a new singer and lyricist - pronto! Something isn't right when your band name draws from feudal Japan yet the vocals and lyrics sound like a depressed, angsty sixteen year old .. I sense a potential for some great metal here.

Oh man, I just gotta get to North Carolina so I can see 'em play with The Hotness. :roll:

The song on myspace is horrible, it's like Papa Roach with slightly better riffing.

Mallcorish riffing lol. I like that one. Thanks for listening anyway. Yeah we don't have any death vocals...trying to go the opposite route of that...and I figured alot of metal heads wont get into it because of that which is fine. but ya thanks for listening.

hmm didnt expect much after seeing the song titles...

after hearing some of the stuff, i can definitely agree that vocals suck, and the rest is average i guess.

The vocals are fine... But the music is incredibly boring and the lyrics need serious help.
