Thanks for posting this Glenn - sure missed some of those. The biggest surprise for me was Sacrosanct ... that does not sound anything like the thrash band I remember, and I've gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised. There's a certain "AFM Records" style to it (think later day Nocturnal Rites, Bloodhoun...

Saviour Machine - one of the most amazing and unique bands ever (Queensryche meets Sisters of Mercy) Veni Domine - is another wonderful band (Queensryche/Fates W meets Candlemass) Antithesis - power/thrash Tourniquet - technical thrash Believer - technical thrash Sacred Warrior - power/prog (Queensr...

I’m liking this ... super fun and the 80s sound is how I like my cheese grated!

I just randomly discovered this on fb https://youtu.be/cg6NcCoIDcg Where in the eff was I when this came out?Right up my alley as it's right in that Crimson Glory style metal that was right up my alley back then “Arabia” is one of the true forgotten gems of classic heavy metal- I never thought of i...

Glad I'm not the only one enjoying this: https://www.angrymetalguy.com/lord-divine-facing-chaos-review/ Some excerpts: That was wise, because at times these cats sound quite a bit like classic era Symphony X if they were a bit more streamlined and linear.

So far I like: King Diamond - live - duh! This is obviously amazing and I can't say anything bad about this two-disc set (even if Larry wants to complain about the dual Abigail shows). Heck, my 8 year old son has become a devout King-fan now and sings along with all the songs! The Neal Morse Band -...

as I feel like Diego always sounds like he is in the exam room at the proctologist instead of the recording studio. It’s pretty painful to my ears and it sounds like it’s quite painful for Diego as well. Man.... You'll never cease to amaze me... And even more when I read this comment from a guy who...

Musically this is really good and definitely has an old school SymX / Adagio vibe going on. The song w Mark Boals is my favorite as I feel like Diego always sounds like he is in the exam room at the proctologist instead of the recording studio.

Loved the last one - looking forward to this one

I like this thread because (a) when it comes to music most people overrate the present and don't hunt down greats from the past nearly as much as they should (the economist Tyler Cowen has written on this), and (b) I wasn't really in "the scene" most of the last decade, so I expect to learn about s...

I'd take the John Arch EP over the Arch/Matheos, but that's nitpicking..... :) That EP was something special for sure - two incredible songs, and just to hear him back was so "emotional" an experience for us fanboys. The album in itself was superb for sure, but in all honesty, I haven't been revisi...

introclaus

Great list..... I want to call out the inclusion of Adagio, as I think this was a MASSIVELY overlooked album when it came out. Folks seemed to expect "more of the same" from the band, and instead they took a definite turn in the more technical / prog approach that turned off a lot of folks. Yes, I ...

introclaus

... well, at least in my opinion ;) Here are the 15 albums (I limited it to ONE only per artist) that I think best shows the quality of prog metal in this decade, and also what it is that I personally find interesting in the genre. 2010 – Pain of Salvation “Road Salt One” This is the album everyone ...

introclaus

Wow, this is great!!! I hear some Saga, some A.C.T, some Marilllion, and some alternative prog rock (think Muse/Mew) in there ... this is cool stuff.

Excellent post Uncle Claus !!!!! Great read as usual ....... Thanks! Orphaned Land --- We've had quite a few discussions on this one ......and Todd and I have been going back and forth on it as well. During this time, I've been comparing this one to OrWarrior, which I thought was the last disc, and...

Interesting you rate Time, The Valuator and list amongst the other bands that does the style well Erra, but you didn't chart them. Did you listen to Neon? How'd you feel about it? Yes, I am quite familiar with Erra, and I like "Neon" for about 20 minutes at a time ... then it just becomes too much....

Nice list. Good Tiger reminded me a whole lot of a band I have listened to quite a lot, EIDOLA. Ever heard of them? https://youtu.be/Mnd37EToqA4 https://youtu.be/kNXT72nA5Bs I think I checked out Eidola before, but I must have dismissed them then. I spent some time with their albums yesterday on Sp...

Massive post Claus! Plenty of titles I haven not heard. I need to go through it all as I get time. Ostura, and Orphaned Land top ten for me as well. I have no problem with the Conception EP being there. Was just a thing for some of us not including EPs. i don't include live releases either, but som...

Great list. Some things here I had not heard of or didn't know about and will explore further. Didn't know that In the Woods... had dropped a new album, for instance. Thanks. Yes, that In the Woods... kind of went unnoticed by the broad public - I think the fact that they are doing everything by th...

Wow, thanks for this monster list. There are many I haven't heard and from your descriptions sound like something I would like. Plan to spend lots of time checking these out. Glad to hear that you found stuff on there that you might like. I'm looking forward to hearing which ones you checked out an...

Great list.A lot in common Thanks Chris. 1.Ghost For those people who have the "there is no fun in metal"attitude,(which we know there are way too many),screw them.Its pure cheesy satanic bubblegum pop rock with an edge and a funny gimmick (seeing pics of a satanic pope playing sax onstage make me ...

42. Ghost - Prequelle It made my list as well, but as a devoted Steinman fan, I don't hear much of it in Ghost. They don't have the Broadway/theater tinges to their melodies the way that Steinman had in his DNA. They share more with "Bad Attitude" era Meat Loaf, I would say. Still, it's great stuff...

Time, the Valuator – How Fleeting, How Fragile Progressive metal core is a style that I really can’t get 100% into … the core elements tend to scare me away most of the time, but once in a while a band will come along and kick me right where it hurts, (Syqem, The Human Abstra...

Happy New Year and welcome to 2019. I guess that means it's time to reminisce about 2018. What an incredible year for new music! I honestly can’t remember a year where each week brought out new quality releases like this within the metal related genres, and compiling this list was a lot of work, mos...

Yet you always go out of your way to make sure we know how different you are and how much you don’t identify yourself with the metal scene to the point where it has the adverse effect. It's a way of saying 'don't feel bad saying you think it sucks'. But we don’t think that the stuff you listen to s...

The only reason you don’t feel comfortable with the term metalhead is because of what it means to other people (or what you think it means to them). You shouldn’t be so concerned with what other people think - be proud of who you are and what you do with your life - that includes what music you lis...

introclaus

You always make a point out of saying how much you dislike metal but that kind of stance is more in line with the Beavis and Butthead kind of “Im a true metal head” attitude than a true open minded one, so you’re actually painting yourself into the exact same corner you’re claiming to dislike by sa...

Here are 2 bands/albums that no one has mentioned. 1) Trival Act: Mindscape An awesome album that came out in 1997 (I believe). They were from Norway. This band was on the technical side of Prog, but very melodic as well. A Dream Theater meets Fates Warning as they had no keyboards in their sound. ...
