Agalloch is the most acoustic metalband that I know. Listen to "The Mantle" and you will understand

Andre said the "comparison with LTE and sedation is obvious". That sounds almost as "it's a copy", since 'obvious' means that you can't get away from it. Don't you think? The intro of Sedation influenced by LTE, but too obvious, ok that's means not a copy, I admit. But everbody who listened...

ok let's leave it by this, but I have to make 1 remark here. I didn't mention to make you feel uncomfortable. I didn't call you a total Dream Theater rip-off or something! It isn't bad to be influenced by other bands. My comments on your album are just a point of criticism, not kind of...

Hopefully it is not copied note for note! That would be humiliating! It is just the feel of the intro that sounds copied to me.

thank you for your reply. I think your opinion about your the cd SC is nice. You admit that the intro is copied, and that is what I wanted to achieve. But I'm also sharing your opinion about the other songs. You said that the overall feeling is a lot darker and this is a point I total agree. I...

No, I'm saying that the intro of sedation is LTE and overall SC sounds often like Dream Theater, that's all. It is clear for me that Sc has it's own style, I can hear that, but that's not my point. Ofcourse all particular instruments doesn't sound the same, but in several passages of the...

Ah man come on. If you're saying that all similarities to other bands are coincidental, you are not making yourself very credible. Like I said the intro of sedation (however it IS cool, I think) IS a copy of LTE's Paradigm Shift. And I read in the biography of SC that you are influenced by LTE...

Sun Caged's debut album contains very good Progressive Metal, but I want you to consider this: I've got the album of Sun Caged for about 4 weeks and after a couple of listenings I think the sound is far away from original. For example the first seconds of the first track of the album is...

dark tranquillity - the gallery (very cool) opeth - still life re-release (11 euro/dollars !)

www.daraiavahoesj.tk Just give it a listen

server failure damnit

what opeth uses very much is octave-chords. Just the 1th and 8th note. Like: 7 7 7 6 6 3 x x x x x x 5 5 5 4 4 1 f.e. in wreath, but also in many songs of Blackwater park: The leper affinity, drapery falls. and the tritone chords (also discussed in another thread) like: 9-10...

A tritone is just an interval. Do you know intervals? An Interval is the distance between two notes. You count from the root-note. For example C: from the C to the D is called major 2nd from the C to the G is called perfect 5th aso the tritone is another interval. If you take the C as the...
