Re: What are you listening to right now?

A Tribute to ABBA
This is one of the handful of tributes I really enjoy. Thought Rush & Fates Warning were quite good as well. Similar story here. My sister in law drove me nuts playing ABBA greatest hits in college every weekend so I purchased the ABBA tribute to blast at family events. :D

Re: What are you listening to right now?

I have only sampled bits of the newer albums, but seems like nothing has come close to this one since..... If anyone disagrees, please point me what to listen to that I'm missing out on..... I would suggest Formation of Damnation. This one hit me hard after deciding to check out all their stuff I n...

Stumbled across this one...

Brazilian melodic prog metal band with a singer that sounds like Dio in spots.

Came out late 21'. Enjoying it quite a bit.

Re: My musical 2022

Atomic Symphony /Hybris – Great female fronted prog metal. I normally don’t deal with this genre too much, but this girl is a beast. The heavy prog metal mixed with her powerhouse lungs is a great combination. Musically it’s similar to Vanden Plas, maybe a little heavier? Great stuff, though. This ...

Parius is a very Between the Buried and Me inspired outfit making some cool music that's prog but otherwise difficult to peg a genre to:

Re: Michael Romeo - War of the Worlds Pt 2

One spin through part 2 and I have to say I might like it better than part 1. It definitely exceeded my expectations. Time to revisit the last one. Wasn't sure about the singer change on the samples, but he is as solid as they come.

Those into tech metal instrumental music should check out Void - Haunted Shores.
Really cool stuff. Sort of reminds me of a mix of Messhuggah/Opeth with some atmosphere of Wolverine.

Awesome list! Definitely will be checking out a few things. Listened to Killing. Grew up on thrash and it checks all the boxes. Did you know there was new Binary Creed Ep for 2021? Just found that out. Singer sounds like Deris somewhat. I prefer the former vocalist.
