Nice to see you like Karnivool - just saw them a couple of nights ago and they were superb. Met Ian (very briefly) and he seemed a nice chap.

I've got a solution to all your problems! Check the random MP3s and decide wether you like it or not.

I think Frequency is their best album but try Dark Matter. Sacred Sound and Harvest of Souls are top class IQ songs. You might like Karmakanic and Transatlantic.

A little late to the party but.... 1. Are BlackField or No Man worth listening too? I dont know 2. I've listened to (and loved) Blackwater park and Ghost Reveries, what Opeth album is good to go to next? Still Life or Deliverance 3. Are any of Neal Morse's christian prog albums any good, and, if so, which ones. YES!!! You've already heard One, but Sola Scriptura and Testimony 2 are the best. I also love Testimony and "?", Lifeline is average. 4. I've been dying for some prog metal along the vein of Riverside or Tool, any other bands that fit the bill for that? --- and 5. Name any bands that you think really deserve a good listen. Brand X

I agree. My favs are Sola Scriptura and ?, but they're all good - at the very least. And the lyrics don't bother me in the slightest.
Not afraid to admit it: I love all the Mars Volta's albums, even Bedlam in Goliath.
Ever. (Subterranea is a personal fav though.) Edited by FunkyM - June 18 2011 at 10:20 |

For Isis, I would go with Panopticon, for Isis I would start with Through Silver in Blood. |

Isis, Neurosis and Russian Circles I would call absolutely essential, if you decide to go that way.

With some of the stuff you like maybe you could slowly but surely start delving into post-rock? Have you tried any? |

To be honest, growling tech/extreme metal still kinda jars me, so I shy away from that part of them a bit :p

Well since the start of this thread I have checked out:
Neal Morse's stuff: One was damn brilliant. I'm atheist, but all the songs on their are great. Especially Spirit and the Flesh, chills everytime. Lunatic Soul: didn't fill me up the way riverside does, and kinda felt like Damnation, as in, it's missing the element that makes the band good. The Tangent: Just what I was looking for - jazzy up beat free form songs. Mars Volta: First album - masterpiece, second album - interesting electronic w**kery... Symphony X - meh Oceansize - only heard effloresce so far, which had moments of greatness but overall didn't seem that spectacular. Might check out other albums. Flower Kings - yes Ayreon - bombastic prog-rock-metal-opera is always fantastic. It's like Dream Theater, except it's actually good. Haken - Aquarius is a perfect masterpiece Karnivool - one of my favorites now, can't wait to see more from them IQ - I liked frequency, but the production seemed subpar and the singer is... odd... is there a better album by them? maudlin of the Well - definitely the proggiest band of them all, really good stuff. "I am a swan's wings, bloodied at the joint" Still checking out more. Looking into Dredg at the moment. Keep the suggestions coming broskies.

Bet you would prob. like this
"Lunatic Soul by Riverside vocalist and bass guitarist Mariusz Duda , Its not heavy like RS but its an amasing albums.
Karnivol and Indukti might do it for you, both kind of related to the Tool sound.
The Mars Volta, IMHO is the most interesting prog metal project around, very wierd but those diamonds thrown in there here and there are wonderfull.

1. Are BlackField or No Man worth listening too? (Steven Wilson stuff) Can’t really answer as I am not a big Wilson or Porcupine Tree Fan. However saw Blackfield once as support for Porcupine Tree and they were so much better than the main act. Haven’t heard anything by No-Man 2. I've listened to (and loved) Blackwater park and Ghost Reveries, what Opeth album is good to go to next? If you like Opeth you also should get Edge Of Sanity –Crismon. A masterpiece of progressive death metal!!!! 3. Are any of Neal Morse's christian prog albums any good, and, if so, which ones. 4. I've been dying for some prog metal along the vein of Riverside or Tool, any other bands that fit the bill for that? and 5. Name any bands that you think really deserve a good listen. Phideaux, Rush, Arena, Marillion, Pallas, Pendragon, Carptree, Izz, Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis, Van der Graaf Generator, too many to mention! |
