For anyone interested the following are a list of bands in a similar vein to Winds, ie dark prog.
1) Green Carnation, -check out Light of day, day of darkness 1hr long epic, or the simple blessing in disguise
2) Nightingale -feat Dan Swanno on vox, no growls, clean singing.
3) Anathema- more the later stuff like Alternative 4
4) paradise Lost, a little heavier but still melencholic
Anyone after website PM me and i give you the adress.

Go out and give them a listen, tell me what you think

 

[MeltingSnowman]

Hmm I only listened to Paradise Lost's early album but I don't really see the similarity.
All great bands though.

 

[Destroyer Of Orden]

I like Anathema... but not too similar in my mind

 

[PlatypusJesus]

I don't think I've ever heard a band similar to Winds.

 

[Animal]

Green Carnation is similar, just no string, heavier in parts though.
Meltingsnowman, listen to believe in nothing, and see if you can hear similarities.
Btw, the bands mentioned dont sound exactly like winds, but they are in the same vein, melencholic, yet beautiful

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Hehe, yes, yes, I know what Green Carnation sounds like, not like Winds. But I understand what you are saying. Now, if anyone could tell me if the plan is to still release a Light of Day, Day of Darkness pt. 2, then I'll be happy.

 

[Metal Reigns]

Hmmmmm I am not sure who I would say sound like them. Maybe Embraced or Icycore but no one really sounds like Winds. Not that I have heard anyway.

 

[Animal]

Lord of metal, there will be a part 2 and 3 to light of day

 

[PlatypusJesus]

I'm happy.

 

[RosesofShadow]

Will there gonna be a part 2 or 3? woah that would be awesome! I didn't know that.

Well, similarity, i can't think of any.

 

[Anvil]

Winds is way too unique to sound like any other band. They are their own genre.

 

[G-Master]

Arcturus could be considered a similar band to Winds. Though mainly, in their sophisticated and artistic songwriting, do they share any similarities.

 

[Zavut]

Arcturus could be considered a similar band to Winds. Though mainly, in their sophisticated and artistic songwriting, do they share any similarities.

Don't forget the fact that August played with Arcturus

 

[Will Bozarth]

Winds sounds like Korn

 

[french_anatheman]

Winds sounds like Korn

Then you must be a bit deaf

 

[belthagarus]

What about age of silence? I believe that they share similar sounds, and even some same musicians. I freaking love anything that Lazzare does. Age of Silence is brilliant. There is a certain piano solo on the flow at 9:30 am that is amazingly beautiful. It is probably a solo by Mr. Winter, his piano rolls are awesome, especially on of entity and mind.

Winds sounds like Korn

wow... thats umm... a very smart obvservation, you cornhole

 

[the_drip]

Arcturus is the closest thing IMO. But yeah, Winds is definitely unique.

 

[The_Human_Abstract]

Damnation by Opeth when it comes to smooth guitar solos and most of the production, except when it comes to bass sound

Haggard actually now that I think about it. They're very much like Winds...they should tour together.

Haggard is fucking awesome. Winds is fucking awesome, both make use of a string section. Haggard even uses some wind instruments and a female voice. AND growled death vox.
