Hey why do they label Math Rock?...I can't its necessary, Math is very close to Experimental and Prog's main theme.
What is This?
It is what keeps us going...

Yeah. Trephine are a math rock band, but the metal aspect in their music is very dominant so they're in one of the Prog metal genres.

It's a great band! I really like their music and I'm glad that you enjoyed it too, Seba. Wink

Good to see you like Tenebre's music. I recommend Auto!Automatic!! and Acturus if you like your math rock to be less relentless and more melodic.



Thanks for the recommendations. About Acturus, did you mean "Arcturus" because that band is listed under extreme metal though i couldn't find anything in the archives under "Acturus" (only a french electronica band with a google search) 

Sorry. I meant to say Actarus.

the thing is with Hella is that they have different sounds throughout

Hold Your Horse Is is pretty much math rock

Chirpin' Hard is relatively math rock
Church Gone Wild (same album different disc) is avant noiserape madness

and There's No 666 in Outer Space....I don't know what to call it. It's close enough to math though I suppose

I'd recommend that album to anyone interested in exploring the highly-technical side of math rock. The drumming on it is quite amazing...


just got this, quite good..  based on this album, I would tend to agree with the MathRock opinion

It's good to see that the Math bands under the Avant subgenre are getting moved. I had wondered why Ahleuchatistas (their new album has been one of my fav. releases this year) were under the Avant subgenre rather then Post/Math.

^^^  We're in the process of moving  Math Rock artists that have been added to the Avant-prog section before the Math Rock genre existed. Ahleuchatistas, I Am Above On The Left and a handful of other bands are going to be moved from one genre to the other.

Thanks for keeping my hopes up. Giraffes? Giraffes! will be added really soon to the archives and they sound like those bands I mentioned in their debut, but in their sophomore effort they got edgier.

Here are some samples:

The recently added band Tenebre is quite appealing to me:

http://myspace.com/tenebre

It's not terribly complex; i'd describe them as a version of Don Cab. that has the intention of making more structured & soothing songs that aren't too demanding of the listener. (the acoustic fretless bass works supprisingly well and adds a hearty groove element) It's has hight priority in my to buy list; i'll surely write a review after i get it.

This thread deserves a bump as it is :)

Yeah, I like Tera Melos more than Don Cab, I don't know why....has nothing to do with the heaviness either

I keep forgetting that I want to write a review of their debut really badly, which is nearly flawless with the exception of Melody 8
