Recomend me some prog metal.

[ABQShredHead]

Sweet tune. It always cracks me up to see that little drum kit. But he works it!

 

[Madrigal]

Just try Threshold's new release Dead Reckoning and you won't ever ask for more!

 

[Kenneth R.]

these people are dead on!

 

[J-Dubya 777]

GREAT band, and another reason to go to Prog Power!
They were the surprise hit at the last one they played at.
Totally made me a fan after their live show
Dead Reckoning may just be the best they've done so far....

 

[Iced Dog]

haha...Threshold has now hijacked this thread I'm not much into their past stuff, but Dead Reckoning IS a damn fine album.

 

[Liquid Tension]

The new material that I'm looking forward to is from these bands...
Porcupine Tree
Thought Chamber
Scariot

Threshold hasn't made anything interesting to this point so why would this disc be any different...

It's quite amazing what Johanne can do on such a scaled down kit. In the words of Frasier Crane:"If less is more, imagine what more of more would be like". Johanne is a powerhouse drummer!

I've just got around to listening to Hypothetical, and although I've only heard the first three songs, they are awesome. Great band!

I just found this very interesting band, Innosense

They have only released a demo cd "Life" so far but I'll definitely check the debut album once they release it

I've got ALL their albums...and they are ALL absolutely over the top! They don't have a single weak release! You could buy all their records with your eyes closed!

^ Just make sure nobody slipped a Britney Spears CD in the Threshold section by accident.

Speaking of Threshold, how bad is the harsh vocals on the new cd?

 

[Kenneth R.]

bad? Bad as in GOOD. Dan Swanö is a living legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ascension]

Speaking of Threshold, how bad is the harsh vocals on the new cd?

The harsh vocals don't add or take away from the couple of songs they are on. Pretty much a non-entity like the vocalist that does them.

Sun Caged's Artemisia is great...really good material...look for it.

 

[SilentRealm]

those are some fightin' words there son..

 

[Ascension]

What? You don't like Sun Caged?

 

[Kenneth R.]

Ascension wants to die

 

[Blackfhyre]

Human Fortress
Black Majesty
Stratovarius
Evergrey

The Death Metal vocals have been used as backing vocals to create some 'special effects' more than anything else. It's only on two songs and works wonders!

And they are "clear" death vox, that don't bother me a bit.
Normally I run away from anything with cookie in it, but being this is Threshold, I figured they wouldn't be too offensive.

Kenneth - I actually can tolerate that Moontower cd as well!
