Re: The Forgotten Heroes of Prog Metal Thread

Stride - Imagine (2005)

Went scrolling through my collection and spotted this one. I believe they were an instrumental band prior to this release but found a vocalist for this. Catchy melodic prog with some AOR thrown in at times. Very good listen.

Re: How did you end up here?

That was way back in my WebTV days! Was just getting into prog and was directed to come check the board out. I think my first post was a response to a Savatage review and I was trashing Jon Oliva’s singing. WebTV! So I wasn't the only one! I really don't remember how I ended up here. It was the lat...

Re: Riverside - thoughts?

I love Riverside, have ever since I heard "Loose Heart" on the LaserCD website (I think thats where I heard it), almost 20 years ago. Great combination of the dreamy Pink Floyd sound and heavier melodic prog. Can't say which is my favorite but "Love, Fear and the Time Machine" sticks out, though I b...

Re: Best Marillion concert dvd/blu-ray?

I revisited "Brave Live 2013" on Blu-ray: Hogarth voice is not perfect, but very good overall. Better that than not having the real thing (overdubbed), I love this concert! I bought "Out Of Season" on DVD: I get "Seasons End" album in its entirety. Sound and image quality are very good. I like it! ...

Re: Mixed bag of new-to-me goodies

Course of Fate - This Norwegian band is self-described as a mix of Queensryche and Evergrey. While they don't have the same pedigree the comp isn't too far off the mark. They have some deep, dark compositions with lots of feel and melody. I have no memory of them being mentioned here. They have an ...

Those songs really didn't excite me -- but does anyone think that the singer sounds a bit like the old Votum singer ?
I definitely hear the old Votum in the vox, good call Larry! I'm also surprised your not feeling this, seems right up your alley.
