Can someone rec me some music like Tool, Opeth, Mastodon, Porcupine Tree, UneXpect?

[pixiesfanyo]

thanks in advanced.

[Cocaine]

There aren't any bands as progressive as those sorry

[Nepenthe]

The only thing progressive about Opeth is how each album they release gets progressively worse.

[pixiesfanyo]

Uh. Obviously you haven't heard Blackwater Park?

Steve Wilson's production job alone makes it one of the best albums ever.

[Cocaine]

Oshit I forgot Dream Theater.

[pixiesfanyo]

Opoop I forgot Dream Theater.

I'm not really a fan of DT but their drummer is incredible!

[Cocaine]

I just like how every album is a variation on a theme, and it all makes for a completely unique experience. Train of Thought is my favourite because it's soooooo heavy.

[pixiesfanyo]

uh. please don't spam my thread i'm looking for recs.

[Nepenthe]

I've heard it.

And just to not be a bastard, you might want to check out Disillusion's Back To Times Of Splendor. It might be up your alley. Some Grayceon too.

[Cocaine]

Liquid Tension Experiment is the dream theater jazz side project it's pure shred jazz pwnage.

Disillusion's Back To Times Of Splendor

To be serious for a second: **** yeah!

[pixiesfanyo]

I've heard it.

myspace?

[Nepenthe]

Disillusion - http://www.myspace.com/timesofsplendor Listen to the last song

Grayceon - http://www.myspace.com/grayceon

[Cocaine]

It's a shame the new Disillusion album is totally ****ing gay

[Nepenthe]

I know dude.

You have to look past the horrible vocals in Grayceon, the music is very interesting. Listen to In To The Deep, the first song is actually from a demo.

[pixiesfanyo]

Disillusion - http://www.myspace.com/timesofsplendor Listen to the last song

Grayceon - http://www.myspace.com/grayceon

oh these are great!

thanks!

do you like UneXpect?

[Nepenthe]

Not really.

[Cocaine]

k joke's over now pixies

[pixiesfanyo]

why not?

they're really talented. PLUS their bassist has a nine string bass

[Nepenthe]

They're too progressive for my mind to comprehend.

[pixiesfanyo]

They're too progressive for my mind to comprehend.

i don't really think they are that progressive. they're like opeth in the fact that they're able to take alot of influences and blend them into something that is accessible and really interesting musically. plus i love the female singer. :thumb: she is fine.

[Nepenthe]

My mind is only able to comprehend 25 genres thrown together at once, anything over fries it.

[pixiesfanyo]

oh. you're taking this as a joke.

welp.

[Nepenthe]

Sorry, I just listened to a Tool song so I might be a little slow, my brain is still attempting to catch up with what it just heard.

[pixiesfanyo]

why wouldn't you like tool?

[Nepenthe]

Every time I listen to them it takes me 10 minutes to get my brain back to normal from the extreme amounts of progressiveness it just experienced.

[Mother]

you might want to check out Disillusion's Back To Times Of Splendor.


yeh thats what i came in to say.


if you want more dream theatreish stuff , check out pagan's Mind and Vanden Plas

[Cocaine]

the tribal drumming and fibonacci sequence combined with the intense polyrhythms and synch-ups are too powerful for his simpleton mind.

[Nepenthe]

Yeah that. See it's so progressive that I don't even know what the words that describe it mean.

[pixiesfanyo]

Thats all stuff that Tool denies.

They're just a rock band man. A really talented rock band. Jones is a great simple guitarist. Justin is a effect pro. Carey is a talented drummer. and Maynard is an expert lyricist/

[Nepenthe]

lyricist?

[pixiesfanyo]

yeah. he is a poet.

[Nepenthe]

I just had to go check dictionary.com for lyricist, that's all. And yeah, now I know what you mean. He is a good lyricist, I feel that I can really relate to what he is talking about, because like, I just get it. Yknow? It just makes perfect sense to me, like he wrote them for me or something.

[pixiesfanyo]

I guess. I just think he has a way with words.

You can't deny Danny Carey is a great drummer though!

[Nepenthe]

Totally it's like he has 28 arms!

Pain of Salvation

[Kage]

this thread i s funny

[TojesDolan]

Indeed.

Anyway.

Agalloch, but you may not be interested in it due to the excessive repetitiveness of the whole concept, but the albums have a certain feel to them that I don't know. I like them. Closer sounding to Opeth. Yeah.

Gordian Knot, more in the masturbative technical performance corner.

Gwynbleidd, just like Opeth but the same riff in two songs.

Jaguares, but then again mexicanos.

KTU.

Mirrorthrone, Novembre.

Orphaned Land for progressive death metal WITH MAD AWESOME MIDDLE EASTERN INFLUENZEZ.

Ulver.

[pixiesfanyo]

[Clunge]

Amplifier for more British PT stylee stuff, swirly, riffy and amazing.

[antihippy]

DUUUUUUUDE, nothing is more progressive than korn.
