for heavy prog or math rock/post rock, I have only their las album http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_of_the_Dead but they clearly have a progressive aproach to their origenal alternative rock foundation, they ceap progressing album after album (as shown in Wiki that their genre tags are leaning more and more towards Art rock and experimental
.
they name Yes, Pink Floyd, Neu!, Rush among others as their influence other then alt rock bands, they are one of those Alt bands (like Mars Volta and Radiohead) who have progressed from their former alternative rock style to a more psychadelic prog sound,
Trail of Dead pulls lots of influence from heavy prog and psychadelia, + krautrock and noice rock, their live shows are also a psychadelic experience
their last album consists of two side long epics one is a 35 min side (dealt in same vein as the Incident by PT and Mew albums), second side is a 16 min epic

They are presently being evaluated by us at crossover.
Honestly, despite the impressive references they cite, I don't hear much prog in the music. Just post-punk.

I think post rock/math rock is more suited (ot even heavy prog) OR EVEN psychadelic prog

Strange indeed they would cite those influences, maybe they really want to be on PA?  All I get is Sonic Youth with some occasional flares from early 90s Swans. |

I'm currently enjoying Tao of the Dead but it's not particularly prog music-wise. It has a prog feel in the CD cover, the long multi-part tracks etc but it's really a collection of post-punk songs joined together to make one long one. I've not heard any of their earlier stuff to comment on.

Not a shred of prog - I bought one album and sent it backto the shop in disgust as it was punk. Sorry this is a dead loss as far as i am concerned

which one did you buy? i don´t like punk in general but those are not punk albums I assure you. madonna and source tags and code are really great albums.
These new tao of dead is still growing on me but it seems at level of the century of the self and better than so divided

It's a little bit funny to see a post like that from someone who has VdGG in his signature - some flexibility? VdGG themselves meddled with punk, and there's at least one long standing forum member here who would claim that Peter Hammill invented that genre.

^^^ Trail Of Dead are not Prog in any case. VDGG are definitely prog and not particularly punk. Trail Of Dead are very punk like. I had their second latest album and honestly it was not prog at all. Not interested in punk junk.

The team must have considered the band is not prog.

This has been debated countless times with countless times with countless cases. They were rejected. Until they release a new album, they're not eligible for re-evaluation.

Hmmm, I was going to recommend them for Crossover as well.
Oh well!  |
