Just got in my copy of the new Scar Symmetry. It's very good and I will likely be sticking with it for a few days.

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. Glass Tiger? Lol ... you meant Good Tiger. And you're wrong about Elliot :) I'm getting old and my memo...

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.

Mardoch

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!

Mardoch

I was scrolling aimlessly around my winamp and paused briefly on Age of Nemesis, so I threw on Terra Incognita.I used to listen to this disc A LOT when working way too damned much, and I have a nighttime deploy coming up tonight so maybe my brain just did one of those funny memory latching things it...

Mardoch

Call me a dinosaur, but I want the "experience" of the music I listen to ..... I watch / listen to music in so many ways / formats I won't go too much into detail here ....but I am barely digital here except for samples and experiment listening ......the rest are the bodies of the music - CD, Vinyl...

Mardoch

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.

Mardoch

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.

Mardoch

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 ...

Mardoch

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.

Mardoch

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...

Mardoch

Spiritbox - The Void https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hRgHHuk3hc Also, enjoying this tune. Never heard of them before. Other stuff good? Metal? Yep. It's all very modern and Metalcore inspired, but not all of their stuff could really be considered metalcore. Eternal Blue is their only full album cu...

Spiritbox - The Void
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hRgHHuk3hc

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.

Mardoch

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.

Mardoch

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...

Mardoch

New Scar Symmetry! New album June 9th. The tune's good, but I was kind of hoping for more after so long, honestly.

Mardoch

Nerve End is kind of a jazz inflected djenty modern prog outfit. They're supposedly coming up on their first LP soon and they put this single out yesterday, which I very much enjoy.

Mardoch

Camp A: More of the same - I'm so tired of this - the band has really lost me - I'd rather listen to Tommy in 7W - boring Camp B: No one does this style better than Kamelot, even if its 100% exactly what I expected - love it Where do you belong? For the record, I'm camp B all the way! Both camps at...

Mardoch

GWAR - This Toilet Earth

I fuckin love GWAR. They're a fantastic example of great musicians that don't take themselves seriously except for when they feel like it. RIP Oderus

Mardoch

To the Grave - Director's Cut Realizing last year that I actually enjoy deathcore (with both Fit for an Autopsy and Lorna Shore entering my top list), I've been diving a bit deeper into the genre. Thanks to Mardoch's recommendation, I've been enjoying A Wake in Providence. Also got into Shadow of I...

Mardoch

Ne Obliviscaris - Citadel

Finally checking these folks out. I believe I'm a fan now.

Mardoch

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...

Mardoch

Enigma Division - Pretty cool, slightly djenty stuff that's like mixing Tales from the Fuselage/Shattered Skies and recent Evergrey riffage. 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...

Mardoch

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.

Mardoch

Sometime Friday afternoon I threw on Red Circuit - Homeland. I'd forgotten how good this disc is, and how great Chitty sounds on it. So I'm listening to it again this morning cause it was already sitting there.

Mardoch

Stride - Imagine REALLY strong (basically) one-and-done band from early 2000s, right around the time of Circus Maximus debuting as, if I recall, both played the same ProgPower. Always disappointed they never put out another album, as they hit that perfect combination of melody and chops similar to ...

Mardoch

HOLLOW HOUR - Till the Grey Skies Are Gone Been listening to this album pretty much non-stop the last two days ... it's a debuting Danish prog metal / djent-lite band, that sounds like VOLA meets Valis Ablaze, Unprocessed and a tiny bit of Dizzy Mizz Lizzy (which I guess is to be expected for a Dan...

Mardoch

Oh, damn...

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.

Mardoch

Still evaluating tops of the year so spinning candidates from that list. A Wake in Providence - Eternity and then Fit for an Autopsy - Oh What the Future Holds. I never got around to really spend time with A Wake in Providence. Let me know your thoughts on it, and tell me if I missed a good one the...

Still evaluating tops of the year so spinning candidates from that list. A Wake in Providence - Eternity and then Fit for an Autopsy - Oh What the Future Holds.

I've been stewing on this one since it was posted. It felt like this list was greatly diminished for me, but it's actually just morphed, which is comforting to me. I'm definitely going to miss some since I'm working from my phone, but c'est la vie. Allegaeon Animals as Leaders Chaosbay David Maxim M...

UNPROCESSED - Gold (instrumental version) I don't enjoy all-instrumental music much - there's a few releases each year that I like, and that's it. However, I completely LOVE "Gold" by Unprocessed, and they've just released an instrumental version of that album, which I had to purchase. For me this ...

Mardoch

I think I have my tops locked in. I just need to write stuff and make sure I haven't missed anything.
