Too bad I like the instruments though. Good thing I have natural difficulty in recognizing sung lyrics because that helps alleviate the problem a bit .

Wondering if you've heard Carach Angren's Where The Corpses Sink Forever.

On the issue of album of the year, I'm settling in with Allegaeon's Formshifter for the time being. Their mix of mindblowing melody and face-melting technicality are infectious (I'd change it to contagious if you turn out to like them ).
It's also got my 'album art of the year award' too .
Haha, we Hungarians can write some pretty horrible English lyrics too. Also our language isn't much closer to English in term of pronounciation than Chinese.
And yeah, I won't check that band out. :Đ

Nope, I haven't heard it yet. Should I?

I guess I'll have to try that album too. Doesn't really sound like my cup of tea, though. >.<

When I heard these guys, they were so... coreish and loud, I immediately thought of you. :Đ

Imo it's their best album, out of an already top-tier band.

Pretty sure you'll be turned off by the aggression .

Where have you been in the thrash/metalcore scene!? >.<

Btw I'm not sure if I like the jazz tunes in Diablo Swing Orchestra...

Yeah, there's a chance.. I'm not a fan of aggressive music. :Đ

Thrash/metalcore scene!? Why are you accusing me of such a horrible thing?:C

I'd say give them a few more listens, they didn't click with me instantly either.

Encylopaedia Metallum - Melodic Death/Thrash metal.
Allmusic - Thrash, Metalcore, Death metal.
As well as some other websites having labelled them with similar genre tags.
I'd say they qualify for all the above.
The album sounds great anyhow, so I don't see why you're reacting -_-.

But jazz sounds so different from metalcore and MDM .

Why didn't you recommend them!? >_<
Recommend some similar bands plz... this is the style of prog metal that I can enjoy.

Don't take me this seriously. ^^
Anyway, it is pretty good for the genre. I only heard about them because of their upcoming tour with Devin Townsend and Fear Factory, which will take them to my city. :#

Can't argue with that. However, it's surprising how well those genres can complement each other.

I'll look through my folders later today, for now...

Eh... oops... I unintentionally take too many things too seriously... .

You actually managed to post something that's AMAZING! Want a cookie?
I wonder why you didn't do it sooner...

PS: do you like Nevermore?

Should Booch come back, that quality would make your life a lot harder. We two can talk an insane amount of nonsense in just a few posts. Too bad he disappeared. :|

I posted a shitload of similar bands already, one or two might've slipped my radar.

They're alright. I definitely enjoy their stuff when I hear it, but I couldn't really get into them.

Should I go back and read some of them?

Hm... similar?

-_-
All hope is gone. You're not into NM. At least you can enjoy them, I'll give you credit for that.
Try Dark Empire - From Refuge to Ruin. It sounds similar, but different. You *might be able to get into their music.

*EDIT: Justice For Saint Mary - my SONG OF THE YEAR.

No point in that. You might find some recommendations there, but going through 500 pages is just isn't worth it. >.<

Yeah, really similar! I'm not even sure you would've liked Circus Maximus or Redemption a few weeks ago.

I'll give it a try, though I've already got a pretty big backlog.

It's an amazing song, that's true. It doesn't beat Exit Strategy of a Wrecking Ball for me, though. :>
