The crowd swarmed to the stage at the sound of Disturbing the Herd’s first guitar note after the audience spent the night patiently waiting for DTH to have their chance to shine. DTH who got bumped from opening the hugely anticipated head banging anomaly got placed third on the band order list, next in line for headliner.
The punk/old school metal band upped their game from performing at private house parties and churches to playing their first live public show Monday night at Winnipeg`s hot rock venue, the Zoo in Osborne Village, four days before Christmas. With approximately 30 moshers head banging and jumping around, the mosh pit proved to be a traditional metal experience. The strong scent of shampoo was an imminent part of this experience as people shook their heads and bodies around wildly.
Disturbing the Herd played heavy riffs and remained extremely upbeat, proving their style of punk and metal. Their vocalist had a sound like any other true Death metal vocalist. DTH obviously has a deep love for underground music and demonstrates it in many different genres. Their music is extremely liked in the moment, it makes you want to thrash and party.
DTH is definitely not boring, they know how to put on a good show. Their stage presence at the show was exactly what you would want from a metal band. They did not stand stiff and seemed real, not just like puppets on stage performing in order to get paid. All four members looked proud and it reflected on the interaction with their devoted audience who chanted DTH.
According to their MySpace page, DTH claims to have a sound like nothing heard before, but unfortunately in their genre of metal, they sound like every other local band I’ve heard. If this band wants to keep up with their definition of being old school metal, then I think adding some guitar solos would be beneficial to their success in making them a more memorable band and not just in the moment.
