at last, it's vildhjarta time

 

This album came out today. So far the album does a great job of channeling Ghost Reveries era Opeth without sounding derivative. Maybe leans a touch cleaner overall than that album. Really like it so far.

 

This is dope. Love the soaring chorus, really feel the Opeth undertones here and there. Thanks for the discover!

I've gotten into quite a few prog-ish bands in the past few months so expect some spamming posts soon lol.

 

LFG

 

Also I’m revisiting Kaddisfly considering their latest album turns 10 and what a band. Wish they’d be more known in prog circles. In another world, they’d be at Coheed levels at least.

 

What's the story on this band? This rules, but looks like they haven't released anything in a while.

 

They broke up in 2017, scrapping the second part of the double album they were working on at the time. They announced their reunion in 2023 and have new stuff in the pipeline!

I have a preference with their earlier material with their previous singer (on the albums Silhouettes and Drawing Circles), but everything they've done is worth a listen if you're into Meshuggah-ish prog/groove metal.

 

i guess this is the most appropriate thread for this: been addicted to yes's run from yes album through relayer recently, one of the finest stretches i can think of for any band

 

One of those bands I never checked out but need to, like Rush and Pink Floyd. I feel out of the loop lol

 

nows a good time to do the binge since jon anderson (formal vocalist) just came out with a dope solo album last year and is touring the classic yes material rn. feel very lucky that i just now got into them lol

 

word has it a new karnviool song drops friday lfg

 

Hopefully the album is finally coming, wild that they’ve been playing new stuff live for 10 years

 

takes me back to seeing them in one of the worst venues you could imagine in like 2013 and getting Sky Machine before we even knew what it was called, transcendental concert moment. hopefully they've still got it

 

New EP from Arch Echo, first in a series of 3 to be released over the next 9-ish months:

 

wow yup they still got it

 

That new Karnivool song has me buzzing! Perfect mix of melody and aggression.
