ARCHSPIRE - Bleed the Future The most intense 31 minutes of music this year. There are more rhythm shifts and more notes being played here than in Dream Theater's entire catalogue put together (well ....)!!! I don't expect this to be everyone's cup of tea, so to speak, but for those who can handle ...

CYNIC - Mythical Serpents First single from new album. Besides a one off single three years ago this is first sign of “life” since 2015’s “Kindly Bent …” album. Where that one was a prog rock album in many ways, this sounds more like a mix between dreamy prog rock and metal. Could be really good fo...

Been checking out this one. I remember thinking a previous release from them had potential and their new singer definitely has less accent which helps this time around. Something about it draws me in? Kinda reminds me of Lalu in spots...

Re: New & a couple of old on the playlist currently...

Stumbled onto this Wheel band. Of course Harvester mentioned it awhile back and I must've not clicked on it :oops: . It's seems on the proggy side so I'm liking it quite a bit. Kinda has a Tool or "newer" prog band sound to it. Nice find.

Re: Evanescence - The Bitter Truth...

Giving this a listen. I have to say that first cutesy single isn't really like the rest of the album. There seems to be a number of those somber, dark haunting tunes which is what has always drawn me to this band. Female fronted bands are not my usual thing, but I find Amy Lee's vocals and melodies ...

I thought EoS was blah when it first was released. Later, something clicked with me as well. Now it is one of my favorites in my collection along with The Fifth Season. Revoiced is cool for what it is and Rolland just adds something special to their tunes. I would consider Very an essential release ...
