Metalrage.com - Because we love it - Review: Stemm - Blood Scent http://www.metalrage.com/reviews/2900 DEATHMETALRAGE FEAST RECOMMENDS OPEN AIR 2009 MORE - PARTY... GOOD THE TUNES! BRUTAL WAY Stemm - Blood Scent Every once in a while you come across a band that makes reviewing really worthwhile. Stemm from Niagara Falls, New York is such a band. They signed a license deal with the Ultimate 85% Fighting Championship in 2002. They branded the band as The Soundtrack to the UFC. The band is now armed with their own national distribution deal which led to their own label called Catch 22 . Although ‘ Fight The Pain ’, which was the song they wrote for UFC, isn’t really what the band stands for today musically, they still get their piece of the pie. On the other hand it's good to hear the band has evolved because with that song influences of Machine Head and Flaw are cleary too present. The band has clearly evolved from the nu metal/ rapcore genre into a monster of its own. On several occasions they made me think of Machine Head, Pantera and maybe even some Stone Sour, but overall still with a face of its own. In the words of vocalist Joe Cafarella ‘This is our Vulgar Display Of Power’. He obviously isn’t saying they copied that masterpiece. According to Carafella this album should give you the same raw energy and feeling as that masterpiece. Well to be honest Blood Scent doesn’t have the same effect on me as that album. On the other hand I do have to admit that Stemm did a nice job creating this album. It’s balanced, it has a killer production and most of all it triggers something inside me. Something that makes me drive faster, mosh harder and listen intenser. Maybe Carafella was right after all with this album. I’m curious about my opinion on this album in a month or two. .: Reactions You have to login to react, click here to login or create a new account 1 of 1 7/13/2009 2:22 PM.

Page 1 of 5 Metal Underground.com "some music was meant to stay underground..." Interview STEMM's Joe Cafarella Talks "Crossroads," Scene Bands, And More posted Sep 2, 2011 at 6:15 PM by xFiruath . ( 0 Comments ) UFC soundtrack band STEMM is set to drop a new groove metal album titled "Crossroads" ( reviewed here ) this coming September 13th, 2011. To let fans know what's in store on "Crossroads," vocalist/guitarist Joe Cafarella checked in with Metalunderground.com and dished on the album's writing process, what's going on with the lyrics this time around, and his thoughts on the different styles within metal. Joe also went into detail about the recently released "Left Behind" video, which skewers the many trends in modern metal. He commented on the inspiration behind the clip, "We had the 'scene' fans pick on us, even labels and managers tell us what we needed to do. Even when we did try to make others happy, it wasn't good enough and we were still the 'outcast' band. 'A band without a core' to say... Looking back over the years, I'm happy to say that STEMM is still here, doing our own thing and evolving how we want to. STEMM is not some bi-product of a metal genre. We're a rock band." Check out the full interview transcription below. xFiruath: When did you guys write the songs for "Crossroads ” and how do you generally write songs? Joe: The songs took shape within the past year or so. We don't write much when we're on the road.

Stemm - Blood Scent
The Metal Forge - Review - Stemm - Blood Scent http://www.themetalforge.com/modules.php?name=Reviews&rop=showc... March 9, 2010 Home Interviews and News Album Reviews Gig Guide Polls Recommend Us Search Contact Us Links WIN STUFF! Feature Releases Stemm - Blood Scent Phenium - IncubHate There's a strong scent of Shadows Fall in this album... After a few listens to metalcore group Stemm's latest album, Blood Scent , it becomes hard to tell if the band is its own entity, or if Shadows Fall decided to create more music under a different moniker. The music structure of Blood Scent is very Baroness - Blue Record similar to any of the recent Shadows Falls albums: the music is groovy and crunching while paired with shouted vocals mixed in with some singing The album itself tends to switch off between the two between tracks. Starting out with "Blood Soaked," there's a sample clip from what sounds to be in an emergency room and then the guitars and drums kick in with the vocalist roaring all the way. The second track, "House of Cards" is still heavy but it invokes a lot more singing (and even the singing sounds a lot like Brian Fair of 30 Seconds to Mars - Shadows Fall at times). The singing is more polished than the This is War shouting and goes along well with the music, and the music is a bit more melodic than holding that metalcore ferocity to it like the other tracks do. From this point on, the rest of the album follows suit. The next track features more screaming mixed with the singing, the following one a lot more singing than screaming, and so and so forth.

Egg whites with onions, red bell peppers, feta cheese, seasonings.... mmmm, deliciousness!! And he served them with waffles, sausage, fresh wheat bread from a local bakery, and good coffee too! Hey, wait! This isn't a food review, it's a metal show review! So, let's rewind a few days and get to the good stuff. On October 17th, I ventured out to The Voodoo Lounge in Binghamton to check out the popular metal band from Buffalo (actually Niagara Falls), STEMM. They are most widely recognized as the band who wrote the theme/intro music for The Ultimate Fighting Championship. STEMM's music has been showcased during every television broadcast and pay-per-view event since August 2002 and is also heard on Spike TV commercials and UFC spin off shows such as “The Ultimate Fighter”. You can also find their song "Face the Pain" on the UFC compilation CD 'UFC Ultimate Beatdowns Volume 1' alongside such bands as Fear Factory, Slayer, and Shadows Fall. So, I of course, was curious to see what all the buzz was about.

Planet Loud - The production on "Blood Scent" is brutal, absolutely mind blowing. It's on par with the likes of Pantera's masterpiece "Vulgar Display of Power". Can we talk about how that was achieved? Stemm - Mike Hatalak guitarist for It Dies Today is our producer, he recorded Blood Scent. We rang him up and talked a bit, sorted out the details and he basically moved all of his recording gear into our studio, rehearsal space and tracked everything right there. We worked with him for nearly two months going back and forth from DWS studios to our studio. Mike's amazing, that's what he does, he just got through producing It Dies Today's new record. He's a killer up and coming producer. Planet Loud - How did STEMM hook up with the UFC? Stemm - There's another rock band out of Niagara Falls called Klear, the guitarist for that band, Bruce Wojick is a really good friend of mine. Bruce is friends with the music producer for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Anyway, one day I was at a Klear gig hanging out and he asked me to get him a promo package for STEMM.

Stemm http://www.crushermagazine.com/features11_08/featstemm.htm STEMM by Morgan Y. Evans LINKS: stemm.net myspace.com/stemm There’s a stereotype of metal as the soundtrack to people beating the shit out of each other out of anger, or even for fun and profit. Sometimes, that stereotype is all too true and as they say, if the shoe fits, plant that damn thing up someone’s ass pronto, head bangers! Niagara Falls, New York’s favorite road dogs Stemm manifest this principle in the best way on their new album Blood Scent (on Catch 22 Records). It’s a varied and solid metal record that they earned into existence through willpower and skill. This is a band that will not slow down but will play nice… a cadre for their growing army of fans who give them the respect they deserve. It’s all about giving back to your own. The UFC and Stemm make a great fit, as these dudes are real trench warfare guys, out on the road and putting their full lives into music. It’s not just a career battle, it is their lives. It translates into the power of the songs, adding impact to the more physical parts of the band’s tunes that some groups have to think about to get to. It’s just been announced that the hard working band’s well deserving “House Of Cards” single has been selected as the of theme Joe Rogan’s UFC Wired program. A great match up, and hopefully will do for Stemm what “Bodies” did for Drowning Pool, as I like the chorus of this one more; it’s about keeping your wits sharp as well as using force.
