@turbo: are you going to BOA this year? the lineups not bad and Korpiklaani are playing plus it'd be cool to meet someone off here in the flesh.
i hope immortal comes to oregon!
it's not metalcore, but it has nothing to do with progressive metal, too.
I despise metalcore and nu-metal. Because of the way it taints minds into thinking metal is something its not. All these kids like "eurgh I love death metal like Killswicth!"
How so? Lamb of God is a definition of progressive metal. They have a powerful guitar tone that drives the music, along with the odd time signatures and complex instrumentals of Chris Adler's drumming. I think Lamb of God and Dreamtheater have alot in common with the way the songs are composed too.
prog death is like opeth and shit
Exactly. And Lamb Of God are nothing like Opeth.
Prog Metal = a whole completely different thing then lamb of god.
Progressive Death Metal wouldn't even be the word.
I'd say American Thrash is the closest you can get to defining them. They have that whole Redneck/American sound, they have Hardcore elements, they have metal elements, but they are not metalcore. They are not melodic or progressive either.
emmmmm HELLFEST people
