    DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT: Transcendence

    This album is freaking GOOD. Every song is an absolute jewel, including the second CD "Holding Patterns." Putting together a piano arrangement of "Higher" really made me appreciate just how bonkers some of the details and layers on that particular song are - it's almost Deconstruction level in...

    ProgPower USA XVIII Days 3 & 4 Roster

    Next year's lineup is super killer. I'm not sure if going into it there are any acts that have me feeling the levels of jittery affection I had going into my last couple ProgPowers (Pain of Salvation doing Remedy Lane, Anathema/Riverside, Devin Townsend Project w/ Anneke), but there are...

    Cheers/Jeers

    Cheers to all the bands for absolutely knocking it out of the park. I have my personal favorites (Devin Townsend Project w/ Anneke was a bucket list item for me, Anneke in general was a bucket list item [that acoustic set was divine] and the rest of the Gentle Storm was absolutely god-tier as...

    Anathema

    That [end with the three percussionists] might have been the most powerful 3 minutes I've ever experienced live.

I think some parts of this song are getting a bit muddy but...

    Urgently Need Help on Symphonic/Melodic Metal Mix!

    Tbh I'm finding working with the toms to be a struggle.. actually all the drums are a bitch because of how we recorded it.. the drums are all triggered mesh heads, triggering Superior Drummer samples, and the cymbals are real/recorded w/ a dual pair of overheads.. but that means that the...
