It's more death metal like, but it's about good people who have a turning point that make them join the black cult.

People comment they want inclusion of an orchestra. I reckon it would be a bad idea.

Agreed.

The Contortionist has changed their style quite a bit. The album Language is a masterpiece, imo. The progressive elements they teased at on prior records were finally realized. I recommend it to anyone who likes Cynic, Tesseract, or other bands like that.

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah, Language is a really good record.

I'm curious, has anyone here listened to Dream Theater's latest, The Astonishing yet? I have heard some mixed reviews and am curious to see what the consensus on here is. Also, has anyone else felt a little disappointed by their recent stuff? Their S/T was ok, but I didn't much care for A Dramatic Turn. I find myself turning away from the band as time goes on, and I used to blast Scenes from a Memory once a week at least.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

It's atrocious in every regard.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

A good progressive band/album is Redemption - The Art of Loss.

 

[dorkmaster34245]

It's atrocious in every regard.

Really? I'm disappointed to hear that.

 

[The Ozzman]

It's atrocious in every regard.

Ever since Portnoy left they've been atrocious

My favorite progressive metal band is Queensryche. They are a great band, and their songs are coherent, well written, and not forced. I enjoy Dream Theater also, but I find that a lot of their songs are forced into being more complex than they actually need to be.

Listen to Arch era Fates Warning.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Just cannot get into FW at all. Don't know what it is.

The fact that Arch Era Fate Warning is probably more overrated on this board than Manilla Road? Yeah that's probably it.

Good thing that I was specifically recommending them to someone else based on a post that I even quoted and not to you guys.

 

[The Ozzman]

Because that never happened on this site ever before

Some of the newer, technical bands have been on my radar lately. The Safety Fire, Intervals, and Protest the Hero are three I've been playing a lot lately. Although I would advise that A Voice Within by Intervals be avoided, the instrumental stuff is waaaaaay better.

 

[Monsterman]

Zero Hour is an impressive band, highly recommended...
