Sounds Like
A drunken Wookie walloping you upside the head with a beer-soaked crate of the heaviest, riff-crazy, groove-laden records (Yes..RECORDS) you've ever heard...but then he feels kind of bad about it so he picks you up, kisses you on the head and shares the sixer he was saving for the ride home... The one he was gonna drink while he was cranking Spacegrass by Clutch cuz he loves to wait and hit the hyperdrive right about the time Fallon sings the line about "watch light bend in the blower". He loves that shit and now so do you.
Remember BIG RIFFS and HEAVY GROOVES? Remember Bonzo's massive drum sound? The twin guitars of Thin Lizzy, Maiden and Priest? How about BIG ol' guitar solos? Remember records? Remember the gatefold cover of Live After Death with the big ass poster of Eddie? We do. And we know that we're not alone. We've already met others who share the love of the riff and now we're gonna help show the world what rock is all about. We're not re-inventing the wheel, we're just putting some Cragar Five-Spoke SS Rims on that bitch and lightin' it up when the light hits green
REVIEWS:
HERE'S A REVIEW OF THE CD FROM THE AQUARIAN IN NEW JERSEY:
Von Dane-
The Insomniac’s Guide
To Hell On Earth,
Self-Released.
Packaged in a press-kit DVD case
comes this charming slab of
Pittsburgh BLS-style beer-swilling
biker metal, carrying with it the tales
of a thousand bar brawls and soulful
woes. Rock. “Drink, drink, drink,”
the disc seems to be calling.Chock
full of cool stoner rock vibes and
catchy choruses, The Insomniac’s
Guide asks little and offers much to
the easygoer looking for a little audio
decompression. Not complicated,
goes down smooth;a good summer
beer—I mean album.
"Von Dane is a bona fide monster of a group that has the experience, skill, talent and latent ability to carry their work into the Metal Scene and compete with the Nutzoids from not only the USA but the insane asylum of European Metal , even if it Black, their stuff rules over there too! Von Dane is a killer band with some huge kicking out tough slamming power/ hold on to your body, you may be blasted against the walls and pounded into oblivion, your mind will be mesmerized I am sure added to station 3/15/2009 11:45:43 PM Metal" Jesse Adams-KIAC internet radio
"These guys shred it out with big time great grooves and do it so fine. They are totally ripping it up and tearing apart the traditional heavy duty approach to Metal and Hard Rock." Smash internet radio
