Re: What are you listening to right now?
The Safety Fire - Mouth of Swords. Great album. Still sad the band ended. I know Glass Tiger exists, but Elliot Coleman is the worst vocalist in metal and they hired him, so that's off the board.

Re: Voyager at Eurovision
First time I've ever watched Eurovision was for Voyager. It's a wild-ass show! They killed it, and pulling 9th out of that field was a good showing, indeed. I love those folks and I hope they blow up after this.

Re: What are you listening to right now?
I watched Eurovision for the first time ever purely for Voyager. That was... a ride. But at least I got Promise at the end, which is a fuckin great tune. Also they're finalists!

I was having one of those "1300+ hours of music and nothing to listen to" days and I ended up throwing on the entire Erra discography. Turned out to be a fantastic choice.

Voyager everything from The Meaning of I through the current singles. I decided I needed something fun in my life today. Also I'm just happy for them to be in Eurovision.

I used to listen in my car a lot more than I do now but I'm fully remote now (and my car has a blown speaker on the drivers front, whomp) so that's much less common. Far and away the most common listening for me is the 2.1 Logitech speakers on my computer desk while I work. It's good enough for the ...

I'm glad he's going to put a definitive end to Savatage like this. People can stop clamoring for more, he can move on finally, and last but not least... we get another Savatage disc.

Nerve End - The Cycle
I brought it up in the New Stuff thread but since the album is out now I wanted to highlight it. It's really good. It's a jazz and djent influenced modern prog metal album with a lot of nice stuff going on. They've got a pretty unique sound and feel I think. https://nerveend.bandcamp.com/album/the-c...

They're just kinda...doing whatever they feel like. It rules. This one's got a lot of pop vibe woven through the heavy and I'm really enjoying it.

This album feels very much like Origins of Ruin for me, which is great because that's one of my favorite Redemption albums and was also tremendously affective for me.

Very recently (as mentioned in other posts) I've gotten into "deathcore". One of those bands that surprised me a lot was Shadow of Intent , that honestly has more in common with prog/tech death and symphonic death metal than anything 'core if you ask me. Sure, there are heavy as heck breakdowns, bu...

What a waste of talent. This always comes off weird to me. Dude's getting paid on his voice so it's clearly not going to waste. Anyway, in his stint with The Ralph I didn't think he was really riffing on anyone else's tone too much, personally. Also, great album imo. https://theralph.bandcamp.com/a...

If the vocals were up to the level of the music this would be a frontrunner for album of year. https://youtube.com/watch?v=XYkz8fr9pTA&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE Whe...

Super well executed modern take on classic progpower. I know this will find some fans here. Hat tip to Glenn, whose purchase on Bandcamp is what tipped me off to this album.

I didn't know him super well but we talked briefly at many PPs. He always came off as kind of a huge goofball, which was endearing. I'll definitely throw on some Riverside today.
