Devin posted some snippets of new songs on his instagram and I am not digging it 😖 Not into Steven Wilson's solo stuff either, and Muse has been shite for a couple years. That's a bit depressing
(I know they're not necessarily bad objectively, it's depressing because I can't enjoy them personally anymore)
God bless TesseracT for releasing a thing that's on par with their best stuff
@Gargron have you heard the new one by Atmospheres? https://atmospheres.bandcamp.com/album/reach
@balrogboogie That's pretty alright
I try to browse progmetal forums and listen to stuff that they post about but not gonna lie most of it doesn't stick to me.
@Gargron you don't appreciate djent or math metal?
@Gargron try « Guiding Ligths » by Skyharbor
@Gargron you need to go back in time to find the band Behold! The Arctopus! if you want insane progmetal
Those guys had about 7 songs but really nailed the best balance of prog and metal I ever heard. I think some of them ended up in Krallice and Dysrhythmia, also prog (but more metal, esp Krallice, who are amazing in their own right).
Also I've been looping The Weeknd's Pray For Me and Call Out My Name as well as Kendrick Lamar's All The Stars a lot the past few days and it's kinda shifting me towards a different kind of sound that I want
@Gargron Try the last album of Ayreon.
@Gargron this has def been happening to me with a lot of metal stuff over the last like 3 years
