Skilled Bands

[Thorg]

Hey guys i was just browsing myspace.com for meshuggah and jazz influeced bands and i came across these two. Have i listen, they're pretty good imho

Coprofago

The Chimp Spanner Project

Sorry coudn't remember the CSP myspace but you can still hear some of it. I'll edit this once i'v found the myspace. The Chimp Spanner Project is also just one person

 

[Thorg]

Hey got the link to Chimp Spanner myspace. Check it out here

 

[Heckelgruber]

Lol at being called Coprofago!

 

[affinityband]

If im sarcastic will i get banned? Because this is too much.

 

[Thorg]

Hey come on guys a bit of respect. These guys have the necessary skills to go far and with a bit of support i think they could do it. Listen to them, they really do have a nice sound

 

[affinityband]

Its the whole jazz influence thing all over again.

 

[Thorg]

All over again? Cmon u gotta admit though these guys have skills

 

[affinityband]

I havent listened yet. But this will no doubt cause up roar with the loosely said 'jazz influence' statement.

 

[Opethian666]

I can clearly hear the jizz influence! A little bit of prod in there too!

 

[Opethian666]

The singer of Coprofago sounds like a cross between the Meshuggah singer and Philip Anselmo. The music is pretty nice too, but lots of Meshuggah ripoff.

 

[Heckelgruber]

Coprofago have a few decent sounds, but a lot seems too ripped off from Meshuggah - I didn't know you could buy a Meshuggah pedal. Some nice fretless bass work on one of the tracks though.

And their name is hilarious, so credit there too.

 

[Opethian666]

Now for the cross between Akercocke and Coprofago: Cockofago.

 

[Thorg]

affinityband. don't judge without knowledge. If you havn't listened don't say anything negative. I have to admit yea the meshuggah influence is quite prominent however there is also a quite obvious allan holdsworth influence in Chimp Spanner's music

 

[Opethian666]

That chimp thing is like a crossover between Meshuggah and Dream Theater without vocals.

 

[Heckelgruber]

Now for the cross between Akercocke and Coprofago: Cockofago.

Do you know any such creatures?

 

[Opethian666]

They're called dumb blondes.

Very true.

Something's just hit me - is your Avatar a part of an "Extreme" album cover?

 

[Zed Leppelin]

Yeah playing a single note for 2 minutes requires soooooo much skill.

Boring imo
