It's been along while since I discovered a new band that really wowed me. I love textured, psychedelic, heavy stuff.
Cynic's Traced in Air is to me one of the best albums ever made.
Devy of course
I'm getting pretty burnt out on the DT style prog metal, tradtional post-metal, and both glam and overdone harsh vocals.
Suggestions? ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

In the Woods... might be worth a try. Omnio probably has the best material but the production is a little flat, the live album has all of Omnio on it plus a good mix from their other two albums and the covers compilation, minu the harsh black metal vocals of the debut so I'd try that first.

I'm listening to In the Woods now, I don't know why I never got into them...listening to the live album and liking what I'm hearing.
Ancestors will be next if Spotify allows. ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

Assuming you already listen to Intronaut, Baroness, etc. Ever tried *Shels? Boris also have some stuff that's ridiculously trippy, although for whatever reason the pmt utterly refuses to acknowledge them for the site. edit: holy sh*t ancestors is awesome |

Yeah, ancestors rock ^^, "Of Sound Mind" is an excellent album. BTW, Samsara Blues Experiment are as heavy and trippy as hell: If you play this, it's up to you if you want to slowly headbang or to stare at the wall and see weird shapes and colours

the album Sideshow Synphonies by Arcturus is what you are after a avant-metal of nice quality -------------

I got Baroness and Intronaut covered (and Mastodon who is related). The stoner thing is ok to me but I like it a little more upbeat, I'd rather listen to QotSA than sludge like SubRosa.
I haven't tried *shels yet but I will. Ancestors was good but pretty draggy. I like color, texture, richness, energy.
But you've given me at least a day or two of new dishes to chew on. THX. ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

I know you said more up beat, but what about Neurosis? Not the most up beat of groups, but albums like Through silver in Blood and The Eye of every Storm are pretty psychedelic to these ears. Yet heavy as hell.
Another factor is originality, and these guys practically invented this sound. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

I´m pretty sure you already know Psychotic Waltz, but otherwise "Into the Everflow" is a brilliant psychadelic tinged progressive metal album. A favorite of mine.
Here´s a vid of the title track:

Bleeding...I have "Morbid" from some sample someone gave me over the years. I have the other 3. Social Grace never did as much for me as I'd hoped.

I think you´d enjoy Bleeding too. It has a more simple vers/chorus approach than the rest of their discography but there are some pretty cool tracks on it like the title track and Locust. ------------- http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - Metal Music Archives https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Voivod is really cool but unfortunately that cover is not really representative of what they do. ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

I dont know, I'd say Bleeding and Mosquito are fairly similar in style, though Bleeding is much the better album as they seem to have gained more confidence with the new style there. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Yup. Brain Scan, X-ray Mirror, Jack Luminous would be good examples of their writing at the height of their psychedelic phase. I know people prefer Snakes vox, but I find Phobos to be an undervalued piece of art.

 I think the two albums have a very different sound. It´s true the vers/chorus formula is also more dominant on Mosquito than on the two predecessors but there are still unconventionally structured tracks on the album. "Mindsong" if of course the most obvious one, but most of the rest of the tracks also feature progressive elements and unconventional songwriting. "Bleeding" is generally more straight forward, also sound production wise.------------- http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - Metal Music Archives https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

If you liked In the Woods... can I suggest offshoot band Drawn, similar but more aggressive. You wont find their sole album, A New World?, on spotify in all likely hood and considering the limited run on the CD it might take a while to find that as well, but it's well worth it once you do. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005
