This is incredible.

I have been listening to that song nonstop for like 2 months now, ICS was my only redeemable factor of Dimmu Borgir

Allan Holdsworth - Road Games

 

[intergalactic]

check on youtube some new arena's tracks from the new "seven degrees of separation",looks like they're going less prog and more rock ,the new singer
looks good

 

[_Gentleman of_the Snow_]

Is that a fretless bass around the 3:40 mark? I love it, whatever it is.

Kris Gildenlow's voice sounds very similar to Daniel's, imo

 

[AsoTamaki]

Yep. Love that album, by the way. STILL waiting for a follow-up...

You should check out the For All We Know record from earlier this year if you haven't. Kristoffer plays fretless on the entire thing.

Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks (Butch Clancy Remix)

[Postulate]

Welp, there's no point in holding back any more. This song has convinced me - I'm buying a Pain of Salvation album.

 

[Wander]

Good for you^

 

[intergalactic]

About Pain of salvation,they played weeks ago in Milan supporting Opeth,so
their set was very short with few old songs (Ashes,Undertow).It's a shame
that such a band with about 15 years of activity is reduced again to support
someone else,I didn't go there also because I don't like much Road salt stuff,
besides one more sad news : at the end of this tour their guitar player will left
them.

 

[_Gentleman of_the Snow_]

You'll be okay, Postulate. I support your current movement... and I assume that your interest will only grow from here.

 

[Postulate]

Good for you^

Hey, this is serious business.

 

[Wander]

And I was being serious too. I like Pain of Salvation.

Kiko Loureiro - Feijão de Corda

 

[intergalactic]

I suggest you a band from greece, Innosense,their cd Outcast you can hear it
on youtube,looks like Fates warning Parallel and Perfect simmetry era

Sky Architect - A Dying Man's Hymm

I finally listened to PoS's Road Salt 2 and Opeth's Heritage.

My thoughts on Heritage? Amazing album. Superior to Damnation. Completely different from their other work, but at the same time, you know it's Opeth. You never know what's coming next, which is always exciting, but I wouldn't consider it "choppy" like others here. Good stuff.

 

[intergalactic]

Just seen on youtube a new compilation called "We wish you a metal xmas"
featuring Girlschool,Tommy Shaw,Lemmy,Geoff Tate,Alice Cooper,Doro,Toni Iommi,Lukather and many others performing classic xmas song revisited in metal.
Very interesting

It's certainly more adventurous and diverse than Damnation, although Damnation is one of my all-time favorites. Do any of the tracks stand out to you as good (or bad)? I love Nepenthe, Haxprocess, and Folklore, but can't seem to get into Slither or Famine. The former just doesn't sound Opethian enough for me, and the latter is too "choppy" for my tastes, with not-so-great transitions.

I love what Mikael said when I saw them live before they played Nepenthe...

Mikael: You know what genre of music I absolutely fuckin' hate? Free-form jazz.
Audience: *cheers*
Mikael: This next song... is free-form jazz.

It's been out for a few years now; Dio singing "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is amazing. Great stuff.

 

[_Gentleman of_the Snow_]

I do remember a few choppy moments overall, and I'd have to listen again before I could start singling out songs.
What Mikael said is hilarious. LOL.
