From the first note, Bella Morte is an all-out assault on the senses, with gothic metal as its weapon of choice. With a nod to Evanescence and Linkin Park, the local-born rockers continue the tradition of combining explosive sounds with brooding rhythms. An original mix of powerful guitars laced with electric synth that vacillates from dynamic shrill chords to slow, somber melodies combine with the brooding lyrics of vocalist Andy Dean for a music that is primal, raw, and deeply entertaining.
Saturday 8/16. $12, 8pm. The Jefferson Theatre, 110 E. Main St. 245-4980.
