Well, Gorguts, DsO, Ulcerate, and other dissonant bands have the same thing happen to them being labeled progressive metal on this site. I can’t really empathize with the idea that this instance is particularly frustrating over others.

for both DsO and Ulcerate the prog metal tag is pretty extraneous compared to their top 2. for this band, there is no universe in which prog metal is a more accurate third tag to psychedelic, so they don't even have that excuse. cases like this is why primary/secondary tags are a thing

first listen to this and my goodness the uneasiness

Psychedelic black metal is something i need more of, i think

Yeah this is super impressive but like DSO I don't have the necessary level to enjoy it.

Prog me

psych yes, prog hell no



Pika’s right, it’s just amusing how much he haaaaaaates the prog tag in general, because he doesn’t want to ‘look bad’ when it inevitably infiltrates his pie, lol

Are Queensryche or Dream Theater more progressive?

Is psychedelic just prog on substances?

Psych is the substances that created prog lol

for anyone that hasn’t already Czech Kostnateni’s new one - it’s not totally similar, but it does psych disso-black pretty damn hard, so yeah different sides of the same general coin, or something

^ this makes me feel like I’m caught in a black metal spider’s web and the spider is screaming at me

This would be a 5 if the cover were grayscale.

And maybe if they kept some of the highs and some features from the opener. Don t get me wrong, its an amazing album all along

I love the cover, the album just needs more to return to

I agree on that D, I LOVE it, will no doubt be in my top 3 minimum which i knew anyway but Its not quite up there with their first for me and does miss some of those highs, even though theyre still there.

are y'all using progressive as a synonym for very specific eras and breeds of subgenre music or are you using it to denote music that's setting out to expand the boundaries of (a) given genre/s? i understand the preference for psychedelic over progressive as a tertiary tag but i can't help feeling like everyone's just defaulting to the colloquial definition when typically stuff that falls into the former camp has alternative terms to separate it from stuff that actually is trying to push boundaries (think progcore, protoprog, prog death, etc). like, you wouldn't call thanti a progressive metal band, but you could absolutely say that they are a black metal band who are quite progressive. if that makes sense.

I'm on a similar wavelength to yours ramon. Maybe I'm just jumping past the border of reason but I don't think using progressive metal as one descriptor in a group of applicable descriptors automatically implies that it sounds like BtBaM or Dream Theater, and it'd suck if all progressive music had those kinds of campy characteristics. I like to think of these things in very broad terms.

i think ramon's point v adroitly illustrates the difference between a descriptor and a piece of genre terminology, which (even on a database as permafucked as sput's) is still a p significant applied distinction outside of the thread_discourz. bois get tagged etc
