Trapped, more for your prog kick

[jimbobhickville]

Just heard a new band recommended to me by a friend, Time Requiem. They sound almost exactly like Symphony X (besides the vocalist, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference).

Also, as far as prog goes, check out Manitou if you can find them. It's the former band of the singer from Spiral Architect. It's not insane like SA, but it's an awesome disc, and the vox sound better on it, IMO. They only released one disc "Entrance".

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

Awesome dude, thanks heaps. I'll check both of them out, Time Requiem is an awesome name!

ha ha, nothing's as crazy as spiral architect

Thanks for the reccomendations... I'm listening to Adagio at the moment, theres one song that starts of EXACTLY the same as symphony X's "Smoke and mirrors"

have fun

Manitou is pretty rad.....
if you like a mix of "No Exit" and "Perfect Symmetry" era Fates Warning you should check it out.

Oyvind is definately not a very original singer....

with Spiral he sounds almost exactly like Buddy Lackey of Psychotic Waltz....but on the Manitou CD he is a dead ringer for Ray Alder in tone....but in singing style and melodies he's sounds like a brilliant combination of Alder and Arch.


the albums hard to find....

if you have troubles let me know....we can work something out

[Karmic]

hmmm.
werent Majestic pre-Dream Theater?

 

[azal]

No that was Majesty

hence the song Ytse Jam.....majesty spelled backwards.

 

[Will Bozarth]

oooo how bout that..... i was wonderin wtf a Ytse Jam was for a while

 

[jimbobhickville]

I know they're a clone band, Trapped said he didn't care if they were clones, he wanted to hear some more Sym-X type stuff.

 

[azal]

then check out Silent Voices too

another SX clone

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

It's all good. If i like symphony x's style, then i'm sure to like another band's style. If they were '100% original" then they wouldn't be similar and i wouldn't like them, now would I?

 

[Poison Godmachine]

Azal should I list all the Symphony X Dream Theater Rip off's for you?

 

[Poison Godmachine]

Oh Trapped, did you grab the new SX CD? I just saw them with Blind Guardian and they we sooooooo good! Great set list to! Evolution, smoke and mirrors, sea of lies, egypt, death of balance, of sins and shadows, king of terrors, and 2 other tracks from the new CD.

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

It's awesome hey dude!

The title track is totally killer, it's another 20+ minute epic, and it's even better than the divine wings of tragedy Totally killer.

I'm so jealous that you've seen them Egypt and Death of Balance live would be amazing

 

[Greenwater_Pond]

the link I found for time requiem's website had samples for freaking awesome bands I'd never heard of like silver seraph and majestic.....must get albums now........

 

[azal]

dude...I don't mind bands that "sound like SX and DT"

these guys steal riffs, melodies, solos, even lyrics note for note...and that's past the point of being inspired by a band....that's plaguarism.

 

[Poison Godmachine]

The Death of Balance, a little "The Mirror" anyone? Actually Symphony X are more guilty of ripping themselves off then anyone else.
Is it me or is the communion and the oracle (which , don't get me wrong, I like) just comprised of peices of "The Edge of Forever", "The Acolade", and a few other songs off Divine wings? I mean its not just similar riffs, there are parts in TEOF, Acolade, and Oracle, that have THE SAME MELODY!

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Every band rips themselves off one time or another.

The Mirror, a little "Domination" anyone?

 

[azal]

I think every band in metal ever has a riff like that.

It's a fucking triplet people

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

Oh, so it's okay to pay out SX about it, but it's okay for everyone else eh?

*shakes head*

You fat, cereal eating... uh... fat ceral eater

ha ha

 

[azal]

it's pudding asshole!

plus I didn't understand a word you said either way
