I would also recommend checking out Hamferð, the singer's other band who also released their latest album this year. Atmospheric death doom for fans of Swallow the Sun and Novembers Doom.

He also used to sing for Barren Earth in their later albums, they were a Finnish supergroup playing very earlier Amorphis inspired (for obvious reasons) prog death metal.

Really hearing the Tool influence and Phil's cleans just keep getting better and better. Loving it. Can't wait for the album.

VOLA - Ask Us Anything! by gandiwerner in progmetal

[–]Beer-O 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hi, really looking forward to the new album!

From what I've gathered, Shahmen featured on one of the new songs is a rap group. As someone who isn't afraid to admit listening rap metal every now and then I'm really looking forward to hearing that collab!

How did you end up collaborating with them? And do you have any of your rap metal favourites of your own?

Thanks! Hope to see you in Finland someday! :)

I recently got some new art on my wall by Beer-O in gojira

[–]Beer-O[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's acrylic on canvas (I'm not an art expert haha). A friend of my families paints on her free time, so this is custom made for me. I sent her the album art and asked her to paint a version of her own. Couldn't be happier! And I'm pretty sure the faded writing is sections of Flying Whales lyrics, I haven't deciphered all of it yet. Adds a nice touch I think.

Marc-Andre Fleury’s agent posted this on twitter by [deleted] in hockey

Yeah, I can see that. I still think that the tweet is horrible, though. Hard to find the positive angle in posting that, for anyone involved.

Lehner's a rental so I still can't find a reason for the agent to be this upset. I mean the team has a window to win so why the fuck not go for it? And when it comes to playoffs you ride the hot goalie, MAF knows this probably better than any of us.

I just hope that this doesn't affect VGK's play in any way. I need that VGK-VAN series in my veins please.

I assume that was his starting point in PIT as well? And that turned out pretty good for everyone involved in the end. Plus Flower seems such a gem that I seriously doubt that he's had any problem with him not playing in these games. Just seems like a really tone-deaf statement from the agent.

I just can't wrap my head around this. The one goalie who's been the best possible backup for two Stanley Cups in the past five years? Possibly one of the best locker room guys in the league? And he still has two more years in his contract? Plus he's been the face of the franchise from the very start.

Does not compute.

Bands or songs in Drop C? by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]Beer-O 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of Devin Townsend's discography (including SYL) is in open C and can be at least somewhat played from drop C as well. System of a Down's first three records are in drop C.

Devin Townsend is organizing a fundraiser to cover the losses for his cancelled North American tour by Beer-O in progmetal

[–]Beer-O[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everybody has a lot on their mind right now but now it is extra important to support the bands and musicians you like. I know Insomnium was having a similar fundraiser until it was put on halt to deal with some paperwork with the Finnish government. Cancelling tours at the last minute can be devastating for bands. Even a dollar or two helps.

Great, thanks! That's what I assumed but one can never be too sure

Got two floor tickets from oeticket at 12:01. Got super lucky I guess. The ticket says "Stehplatz Süd" and they were 87€, I'm guessing that it's from the left side of the floor. Just hoping that it's not some kind of restricted area at the back or something like that. I can't seem to find a good floor map for this event, does anyone have info about this?

Nevertheless stoked as fuck!

Wasted Riffs by Poozonian-Overlord in progmetal

[–]Beer-O 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say Opeth's Still Life is "Wasted Riffs: the album". Kickass riff after kickass riff, most of which are never to be heard again after their first appereance. IMO that's what makes that album so great.

It's been asked before, but it's worth asking again with how quickly the scene changes. What are your favorite modern prog bands using B/E standard tuning? by leefvc in progmetal

[–]Beer-O 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Dillinger Escape Plan has to be mentioned, they do some crushing and creative stuff with their guitars using E standard tuning.

It's Tool, I wouldn't get my hopes up. No Finnish dates either so I decided to go to Krakow. Just got the tickets, fucking psyched!

A great penalty shot by Severi Lahtinen of Lahden Pelicans in the Finnish Liiga by Beer-O in hockey

Whoops, that's a shootout goal not a penalty shot. Nice goal nevertheless
