As a big fan of both, I've never heard this. Care to elaborate? Which song is supposedly about SW?

I think ICV is my favorite of the New-peth era, but it might be the one I return to least. I find it to be a somewhat emotionally "heavy" album, and I have to be in the right mood to fully enjoy it.

Finally got around to listening to this today, and wow, I found it quite surprising. To me, Common Ground felt like a bit of a disappointment after the brilliant Folkore, Grimspound, and Folklore. I...

So, I'm 27 for context. My parents listened to "classic rock" when I was a kid. They mostly steered clear of the more progressive stuff, but they did listen to a fair amount of Pink Floyd. When I was...

Beardfish were my gateway to the "prog" side of "prog metal" after initially falling in love with Opeth. Rikard is such a talent!

In addition to PoiL, Lost Crowns, a Drop of Light and some of the other ones mentioned, I'd love to see Closure in Moscow finally release their follow up to Pink Lemonade.

Very excited to see the SLC show tonight. I'm not OP (though I am an Eric), but on the subject of Mastodon, I think Leviathan through Crack the Skye are essential listening. People's mileage tends to...

Agusa's one of my favorite modern instrumental prog bands. Their music is warm, inviting, and very melodic. Their long compositions feel like journeys, and they never seem to venture into "random...

New Between the Buried and Me (BTBAM) album "Colors II" out today. I know a lot of folks don't enjoy the growl-y harsh vocals, but this album is a "sequel" to their acclaimed album Colors. I quite...

It's cool to see that Rikard did most of the keys and guitars on the album, they are phenomenal. He really seems like one of the most loved dudes in the genre right now, at least among the people who...

So, last year I posted about Earthsong of Silence by Wax Machine. I think I described it as something like: "A bunch of hippies around a campfire deep in the woods, on acid, but they're all actually...

Oh, also I want to mention that I totally agree about Thea Kelly being fantastic on this album. Her voice compliments Damon's incredibly well.

I find that JotC albums take quite a while to fully digest. All I need is for at least one track to hook me, and then the rest eventually follow. The Butcher is the song that I currently can't get...

I liked this! I felt that the first two Evership albums were pretty solid retro/throwback prog albums with great songwriting. They've definitely evolved their sound a bit here to great effect.

Just from interviews I've seen over the years, I gather that they are not the type to take steering. The main two guys, Bent and Hans, have been playing together for a really long time, and it seems...

With a band like Motorpsycho, who appeal to several different musical fandoms, it's fun to gauge the reaction to a new album in different places on the internet. I've seen a lot of praise from prog...

I agree! I mean they literally have a country/western album.

Always ready! The album art is interesting and evocative. Really curious what this album will sound like now that the Gullvåg trilogy is done.

Motorpsycho are such a great band! Probably my favorite these days. I tend to go through band discographies at a frozen snail's pace, so I've only listened through It's a Love Cult, plus their three...

Hey, so there have been some updates recently on the Jack O' the Clock front. Firstly, Damon Waitkus composed a song for the guitar and drums duo The Living Earth Show that has been released. It uses...

This one was definitely in the top 5 for me. DPR scratches a similar itch as The Dear Hunter for me, while being different enough to feel unique. Their songs have great pop sensibility, while also...

The Motorpsycho album seems to be one of the more divisive albums of the year, for sure. It was far and away my favorite album of the year, and I've seen a few people share that opinion. I've also...

Gonna have to go with Motorpsycho - The All is One. I love everything on the album, but the N.O.X suite is one of the best things I've heard. The way the track pulses and breathes like a like a...

Deluge Grander releases usually take a while to fully click with me, but after one listen I'm already enjoying this one quite a bit. How does this one fit into the whole Heliotians/Oceanarium pyramid...

I absolutely love this band, Neil and Kate are both fantastically talented. Neil's stories and worldbuilding are always incredibly inspired and interesting. I'm loving Deadhorse so far. I think it's...

Has anyone listened to the new album "Earthsong of Silence" by Wax Machine? I think it's a pretty good little album for fans of trippy, oddball, prog-tangential stuff. It has elements of a bunch of...

New Deluge Grander on the way!? Well that made my week.

Has anyone listened to "The All is One" yet? I personally think it's a masterpiece. It's really impressive that a band 30 years into their career can release an album this good. I especially love the...

Has anyone heard the new Tangent album?

Yeah, if you ever get a chance to see them live, do it. I've driven 7 hours to see them and it was worth every second.

It definitely plants them firmly as the foremost clean-vocalled prog metal band. After Caligula's Horse's excellent In Contact, they were nipping at Haken's heels, but after a somewhat lackluster...

Not sure if Iamthemorning's 5/4 is actually about the time signature, but the title certainly is. The song's not exclusively in 5/4 though. https://youtu.be/JRlvqyjuxiM

1. Opeth - In Vauda Venenum
2. Lost Crowns - Every Night Something Happens
3. Thank You Scientist - Terraformer
4. Motorpsycho - The Crucible
5. Big Big Train - Grand Tour
6. Iamthemorning - The...

Well I appreciate Leprous's somewhat minimalist approach to progressive metal, and I think it's cool they're doing something somewhat new. However, though I did enjoy Coal and The Congregation (not...

I'm not typically a huge live albums guy, but I'm loving this so far. It's similar enough to the material on the albums to give me a lot to latch on to and for it to feel "tight", but different...

Has anyone heard the new live album yet? I've listened once so far and liked it.

I like them a whole lot, probably one of my favorite current bands, but I find I have to be in a pretty specific mood to enjoy them. As busy and complex as their music is, it’s not all that varied...

From the band's website:



Excited! I live on the east coast so it's not likely I'll actually get to see them live any time soon (if ever).

Heyyy, so I'm not the only one! They're sooooo good dude, and so few people even know they exist. What's your favorite album of theirs?

I really like the art on that bad boy.

So what did everyone think about the show/shows? I personally thought everyone played well and the mix was excellent except for a little feedback here and there. I enjoyed everyone’s set, although I...

Thanks for all the replies everyone! Lots of cool stories, and, to you older folks, it must’ve been nice to hear prog on the radio.

As for me, I got into prog in a somewhat odd way at the...

Apologies if this has been posted before. How did you first discover progressive music? Was it a specific band or sub-style that initially grabbed your attention? How did you discover said band or...

Oh, that sounds really cool actually! I didn't know they'd made a whole series of videos explaining the story of The Raven Locks either, I'll have to check that out sometime.

Of all the bands that frequently get recommended to fans of The Dear Hunter, this is one of the best in my opinion. I think they've gotten better with every single release, and I'm very excited to...
