Is there really any GG influence other than the a capella part?

The Cockroach King is GG as fuck.

Yeah even the jazzy interludes on several tracks, the vocal quirks like that of Atlas Stone, or the more dissonant sections feel like a homage to GG.

Reminds me that I still have to get into that band. Too much good music to listen to everything, I guess

New album is really good, still not sure if it's better than Vector though

Curious about Virus. Messiah Complex is really good. Linking but not loving the singles though
I loved almost everything about Vector tbh, my only gripe is the heavy use pitch correction, even though it seems to be a stylistic choice.
I don't think I'll like it more than Vector

First thought that comes to mind is that Virus is definitely a fun album. Still letting the dust suttle to judge soberly.

Fun is always a good attribute

especially on neo-prog, where artists lean to prtentiousness a bit too much

I couldnt agree more, Mytho. It seems that so much neo-prog ends up sounding so samey because the artists focus on technicality far too often.

Is this considered this neo-prog? I thought bands like Marillion, IQ, Flower Kings, etc were considered neo?
In a literal sense this is probably neo since it is the "newest" generation of prog I guess, but I thought neo was for those 80s/90s bands that were replicating the OG bands style

I wouldn't call this neo-prog, especially with the heavy attributes putting this much closer to prog metal. Prog is definitely a heavy influence but this doesn't quite fall into that category.

Wasn't neon prog a label for bands that came after the classic 70s prog band that still made classic 70s prog? Never liked that particular label, even though labels are useful

Yeah the label serves to distinguish groups that bear a similarity to the prog greats of the 70s/80s or sound like that musical era, I believe.

Haken have an interesting mix of traditional prog, modern and classic prog metal and art rock. They're hard to pin down. Their newer stuff is mostly common prog metal though

As an umbrella term I think "progressive metal" works pretty well for them, since they aren't technical or extreme enough for other metal sub-genre labels but are pretty distinct from modern prog or neo-prog.

they're very technical, what are you talking about? I don't mean wanky or tech death technical, but they lean heavily on the tech side. I think progressive metal suits like a glove for them.
