Flavor of The Week-D-FE
Thanks to one of the followers of this blog, (Thanks Luke!) I discovered this awesome band called D-FE. Get this-It's a tribal metal band. It's super interesting and dare I say-refreshing? I like the idea of mixing traditional African tribal music (mostly heavy percussion) and even some Afro-Caribbean instruments with heavy metal. It's so metal because it goes against everything metal is supposed to be. The unfortunate thing is that I can barely find any info on them yet apparently they've been on the scene since 1997! I'm not too sure but on their myspace it say they disbanded with their last LP that was out in 2008-which saddens me. Check em' out though. It's a shame that they are unsigned...

oooh, now I'm faymous!!
did you actually procure a copy of that album, I should have a look for it...
I found a copy of an album they did in 2005 on soulseek, it has Muziki on it, so it must be their last, if you want it get the soulseek program http://www.slsknet.org (not soulseek.org, that's a phishing site)
if you search d-fe while I'm online you'll be able to get it, or else from the guy I'm getting it from.
by the way, i find this blog particularly parallel to my own opinions, although there is much ill soon have to say...
@Miles-Great answer, I agree. I think if tribal metal becomes a widespread genre, it'll be to an aquired taste. Thanks for the comment.
@Helluvadrug-I always thought it would be interesting too! But the few all black metal bands from Africa I've heard usually stick to strictly European styles so I was excited about this.
@Nuclear Mamba-Lol, I'll get on it! And welcome to the blog!
They're ultra popular with Satanic skinheads (they're ultimately non-racist, I've spoken with a few of them before in Charlotte, NC, interesting sub-culture.)

Really love the voice of the singer and their concept about ancient Afro Gods.
