Indeed! The vocal-less one will be done today. I'm going to put up both, but the one with vocal will still be a while. The instrumental one will still be a while later today though.

Also, Meshuggah is always so boring to listen to for me, but I always enjoyed the vocals and lyrics. hahahha.

The other one was really awesome though.

You made quite an entrance with that, that's for sure. >.<

Sounds good! Though what's today for you might not be today for me.

The interesting thing about Meshuggah is their rythms mostly. I'm not a huge fan either, but they still blow any "djent" band out of the water.

Not metal at all, but listen to A Silver Mt. Zion - God Bless Our Dead Marines. It's sort of like a post rock/folk mix with some other influences. I have no idea what I like about it, but it's great.

I think you might have missed the hyper linked goofiness. All those links I made throughout my post are the song, it's done. =P

GO LISSIN 2 IT NAO!!!

Not bad... But it's like I've heard most of the melodies already. (you did mean Damnation Angels, though, right?)

What the ��������.
I have no idea what the hell that was or even if I liked it, but it was REALLY interesting. >.<

Aggression + predominately cleans + drumming pattern mainly point to ->thrash.

Yeah Angels...
Hey stop having good memory for melodies and just enjoy what's put in front of you. >.<
Quality of good conventional music should not be decreased by quantity no?

I wouldn't capitalize REALLY because it really was repetitive.

Anyways, that song you suggested was 💩💩💩💩ing wonderful. No idea about the familiarity of the chorus, but the entire song sounds like Dead by April, with better instrumentals and a worse vocalist hahahahahaha.

WOOT! More cores!
Song sounds much better than the previous version you posted!

Perhaps I'm imagining/hearing things... ignore me -_-

True, true. Sadly, I can only listen to it tomorrow. Already in " few minutes before sleep" mode with Tenhi playing.

@gxs: You know the genre speed metal? The one that lead to the more agressive style of PM and also thrash.

Haha, true. But after a while, great music is rarely good enough. I'll give them another listen tomorrow, though.

Since when is repetetive bad?:-P

Wikipedia:
"Speed metal eventually evolved into thrash metal. Although many tend to equate the two subgenres, others argue that there is a distinct difference between them."
Win!

Dunno if you're finding music in general getting stale or just being finicky.

Well, I'd just have a little somethin against repeating a single riff 4 times in a row.

Well, there is a difference, I'll give sone explanation with examples tomorrow. ^^

Nah, not music in general. It's still fun, but PM and similar stuff has to be really original to impress me nowadays, maybe cause I heard so much of it.

Then stay away from drone doom metal. :>

Illuminata - A World so Cold

Impressions:
(rolling eyes)
"Another absolutely obligatory intro song with no value."
...
"Not bad..."

A few songs later.

O_O

WHOLY -ing @~$^% WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN ...@!^*$*@#?

I think it's symphonic power (pretty sure it's not gothic...) and it's MINDBLOWING!
Guess this is one of those instances where I listen to an album with no expectations only to be mindblown by the sheer awesomeness of it. GO LISTEN TO IT NOW!!!

*Edit: in the instance where either of you have heard it, forget about this message and don't forget to feel guilty for not recommending this album to me earlier.

*sigh* 500 pages worth of posts and no mention of Cormorant? Go listen to Metazoa and Dwellings people. >_>

I dunno about the people before I came to this thread, but from what I know (and that's everything after I first posted in this thread), a logical explanation can be give to the lack of exposure to Cormorant:

The people who like prog metal don't like black metal and
The person who partially likes black metal finds prog uninteresting.

I... didn't know that album. I'll give it a shot, but I don't have high expectations.

I guess I'll have to listen to some of it. I read it's prog/folk/black? What should I expect? Something Borknagar-like?
