Been a while since I made everyone grumble about my incessant Vanden Plas posts, but we do have lurkers. Bwahaha !!
In all seriousness, if anyone hasn't checked out this band, I highly recommend it. Vanden Plas is a prog-metal band, but they really get a lot of influence from prog-rock and theater. I think they have really seperated themselves from most other prog-metal bands.
As opposed to mindless wankery, VP takes the super melodic approach but they also give plenty of heavy movements when they see fit. "Christ 0" which is the latest VP might be the best release I have heard in five years or so doesn't get a great deal of spins per week now, but I never go a week without listening to it to or three times.
If you don't know who they are, check out www.faroffgrace.com or www.vandenplas.de or www.myspace.com/vplas
