Prog-Rock/Metal

Fully instrumental

New Subterranean Masquerade EP coming soon. Finally! Their one and only full-length came out in 2005. This EP is vinyl only, unfortunately, but hopefully a new full-length will follow.

I'm assuming most of haven't heard these guys, so check these out:





Brilliant band!

I like that ken!

The new 7" is available now at http://www.submasq.net.



A little pricey for a three-song EP, but with it being so limited I think $17.99 is acceptable.

Wastefall has reunited. Here is a new demo:



Not all that, but it appears to be a song they're not sure about themselves. Fantastic band, though. Here are two old songs:

Shawn O'Fire hipped us to this band a while back. They have a free EP here on Bandcamp: http://shatteredskies.bandcamp.com/album/reanimation-ep

Really great band, too. Just don't make the mistake of buying the CD version of the EP, because it comes with no back insert and no one in the band will acknowledge any comment/complaint about it. Annoying.

But like I said, they're great. Here's a video for a track on their upcoming album:

Bad Salad have a Pledge Music campaign going for a new EP. Looks like it's just a digital thing, but $10 gets you this:

- 1-week early MP3 download of the EP
- Instrumental versions of all 3 songs
- Stems for all instruments of all 3 songs (5 files per song, one for each instrument and vocals)
- Bonus: 2 high-res digital wallpapers of song artworks from “Uncivilized”

Not bad, I guess, if you're into that sorta thing.

I am excited to hear more music from them. I really enjoyed Uncivilized.

Yeah, it's a great album. Hope this EP gets a physical release. They band said it's a digital release "for now."

Dispersed - Living Mirrors

Kingcrow - in crescendo

I don't own this album, but I intend to get it at some point.



If you dig stuff like Meshuggah...

If you are into death metal at all, and want to check out some prog-death, check out Obscura.

I wouldn't call them prog.

I also wouldn't call them good. At least I don't find them very compelling... and I have tried. I do like the fretless bass playing.

The Faceless is SICK! Love that band. Still need the new album, though.

The new Faceless, Autotheism, is amazing. It seems kinds different at first, and it did take some effort to really have it sink in, but it is The Faceless, and it is awesome.

Andromeda is one of my fav prog metal bands out there. I dont know if they were mentioned, def worth a check out.





Two of my fav songs from Andromeda...

Just ordered the new Spock's Beard album.

http://www.spocksbeard.com/buystuff.html

There's a limited edition version, which is apparently limited to 5,000—2,500 physical copies and 2,500 digital copies, the latter of which is kind of confusing to me since digital is essential unlimited.

Anyway, great band, sounds like another great album.

Special Providence from Hungary.

Essentially modern fusion combined with some metallic elements here and there, refreshingly melodic.



and a video...

Yeah, these guys are good. I got their first two albums, but not Soul Alert. Should seek that out. But yeah, they're very good.

If you're looking for some instrumental prog, the new Niacin album came out today.

woo, the Beard is still around? Thought they had quit after Nick left. Will check out this new one.

I didn't know they were still around, either! I haven't really listened to them since Neal Morse left and I didn't like Snow that much compared to V.

Ted Leonard from Enchant is the new lead singer... interesting..

'Snow' is awful. Check out the self-titled and 'Feel Euphoria', those are probably the best ones with Nick on vocals. Just great great stuff.

I tried to like Snow, but just couldn't..... Especially after as awesome as V was.

I think I have those two post-Morse albums. I'll have to listen to them again.

You're missing out. They've put out four albums since Feel Euphoria, and each one is great. I'd also venture to say they're heavier now.

Yeah, great stuff.


I have to say I'm not really feeling that new trailer though...
