Well, Karmakanic are pretty great and Jonas gave a delightful interview.

when are you going to stop asking about those two bands is a better question

Hi Rushfan - it's a pity that others don't quite have the same appreciation for good music that we do!!! Now when are they going to include Strat and Korn on the Site????

Now that you found a band that you might like more than DT, the initials on the new nickname aren't code for Dream Theater Sucks, are they? Wink  jk
 
I'm glad that you are enjoying Karmakanic.  Did you happen to see King By-Tor's review of Jonas Reingold?  If not, you should check it out in the interviews section of the forum. 
 
I tend to like all things Flower Kings, and Flower Kings related, and Karmakanic are no exception.  I prefer Wheel of Life a bit over Entering the Spectra.  I have only listened to Who's The Boss a couple of times and it is quite good.  I still need to give it some more listens though.

Hi Infandous - I hear so much in the three albums that it's mind boggling!!!!! Old Marillion had a lot of emotion in the lyrics - these guys - well!!!! The different styles of music that come through are astounding - from Jazz to Prog metal!!

Good to hear you enjoying them.  I'm a fan as well, though not quite as much as you seem to be :-)

It is essentially Jonas Reingold's band, as he writes all the music.  Anyway, they are multifaceted, though the most recent album is primarily symphonic prog.  My favorite, so far, is the previous one Wheel Of Life.  I'm a fan of the jazz fusion side of the band, and that is most noticeable on that album.  But really, it's all quite good.

I have finally found a band that I love more than Dream Theater!!!!!! More than old Marillion!!!!!
This lot is a side project of the Flower Kings amongst others - catagorised here as symphonic metal!!!!!
I disagree totally - this is progmetal and so many other genres combined into one. I've heard blues scales, Genesis type symphonia, Deep Purple type Hard Rock, Styx like magnifiscance!!!!!
 
Give them a listen and then decide - brilliant stuff!!!!!
 
Holy Cow - I've been stunned!!!!
