Even after all of these years, the intro still impresses me every time I listen to it.

I couldn't get into the first book (album), but the second one was easily my favorite album of 2021.

It may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Asymmetry is my favorite Karnivool album. As much as I love Sound Awake, I feel like this is their most coherent album. Here's just hoping we can get some more material from them soon.

I am really excited for the upcoming album. I enjoyed the last single, but this one is amazing. Baroness always nails the use of harmony and this song is no exception there; both in terms of guitar and vocals. I'm not sure yet what to compare it to, but I'm a huge fan of the vocal style in the verse.

more doomy than prog but the intro is fun and the song slaps

The Real Stampede

Damn this album is really nice, very chill atmosphere listening to it atm

Keen to hear about some progmetal albums to check out if anyone feels like sharing. My 3 would be pretty safe bets.

I'm really loving the use of dynamics on this album, easily one of my top AOTY contenders

Great album all around, the track In The White even inspired a DnD character of mine

While it's post metal, I'd wager there's also prog metal mixed in too

This album, Somewhere Along The Highway, and The Raging River are my faves from them. In terms of tracks, Inland Rain from A Dawn to Fear, Dark City Dead Man from SATH, and Wave After Wave from The Raging River are my top tracks

Can't have a prog metal community without Gojira

Any love for the new Avenged Sevenfold album?, listened to it about twice fully. Its a bit disjointed feeling at times, but im really digging this song in particular, also Ordinary is great

I know it's a bit of a Dream Theater homage of a tune. But This song absolutely fucking bangs

Given we all live in a decidedly niche music sphere, I thought it might be helpful if we share our tips/tricks for finding new artists. Here's my tried and true: everynoise.com

The first Steven Wilson produced album is my pick for the classic Opeth album, expanding the template set on Still Life.

Blackwater Park, however, is so silky smooth. It glides from one moment, one idea, to the next like quicksilver, without ever sacrificing the heaviness that made Oldpeth so special. Åkerfeldt’s vocals feel more polished than ever, with both his reedy cleans and death metal roars bursting with power and emotion, while the riffs and leads laid down by him and Peter Lindgren, together with the huge bass performance from Martin Mendez, gives the whole record a gorgeous, rich texture.
