the "what are you currently listening to" thread

Yeah, saw they posted that. I wish they'd just release an entire song instead of a teaser; a teaser tells me very little about what they sound like.

Also, the chick's voice reminds me of Scandinavian Metal Praise. But that's probably completely sexist of me thinking all female singers sound the same.

I agree. A teaser works for something like Theocracy because we know the band and what it sounds like already, and Matt and Emil like torturing us with small teasers anyway; but this is a new band that we've never heard before, so it'd be great to hear a complete song to know what they're like.

I don't think it's sexist, they do sound a little alike.
I can REALLY see myself getting this stuff on its release date.

edit:

As it turns out, the name being familiar was no fluke, this thing is gonna be the best thing I've ever been to and it just keeps getting better and better.

I'm listening to this thing here. Ever heard of it?

Was blasting this album on the way in to work this morning:

Going to see these guys with The Faceless on Thursday; realized I hadn't listened to them nearly enough.

Dream Theater - Illumination Theory

The whole album is available for streaming: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/dream-theater-channel-prog-metal-in-dream-theater-premiere-20130916

Haven't had a chance to listen it all yet, but I'm certainly loving this song.

New DT album

I'll probably listen to that album when it's out; streaming annoys me for some reason.

Oh my gosh. I listened to that earlier and thought it sounded like him, but I didn't think it actually was! Their website confirms it: http://www.signum-regis.com/

I saw the news at the Christian Metal Realm forum and was surprised I had not seen mention of it here. It must have just been announced. Perhaps it deserves its own thread!

This guy does all kinds of ... meets metal. Pretty cool. Also downloads on his website.

I was glad to hear about Matt working with Signum Regis. Very cool band.

Anyway, I've been spending a large part of the day listening to the new Dream Theater. A most satisfying album. Not their best, but definitely one of their better ones. My favorite tracks are The Looking Glass, The Bigger Picture, Along for the Ride, and Illumination Theory.
