Pirate

Wow!  Interesting band from Australia!  Found them on The Bird's Road Collective page on Bandcamp (http://birdsrobe.bandcamp.com/) when listing to the new Anubis.  Very interesting and excellent!  Not sure of the category, though.  Maybe progressive metal, because that's definitely there, but far more varied.  Quite a bit of interesting saxophone on some of the songs, among other things.  A bit of post-metal as well.  Maybe just plain Heavy Prog would be appropriate?  Or Eclectic Prog?  Hmmm...  They surely belong here somewhere!!


"Time Minus Five"




"Daggers"




"In The Balance"




Listen to the entire album at http://birdsrobe.bandcamp.com/album/left-of-mind.

This is my first recommendation.  Hope I did OK!  :-)

I am continually amazed by these Aussie prog bands - fantastic stuff!! 

Fair to Midland are great - they play a cool brand of accessible and folk-tinged prog metal. 

Thanks for this link Frank.  They are certainly an interesting band! They also did a four-track demo EP in 2008 which is equally eclectic, and that one too is available to listen to or download on bandcamp: http://birdsrobe.bandcamp.com/album/pirate-demo. The compositions tend to be longer than on the other two offerings, with 3 of them clocking in at over 8 minutes, the final track being a shade over 11.

Yay!  My first suggestion added!  I think Heavy Prog is the appropriate sub-genre, also.

We moved them out of Heavy pretty quickly, they got a tie vote in crossover, post bounced them right back to crossover, etc. They're still under "new" at crossover so I'm sure the team will reach a decision eventually.
