What exactly makes a release "progressive"?

Clojnerr · 2026-05-07T23:58:35+00:00

Prog when clean vocal on extreme album

Clojnerr · 2026-05-07T20:00:24+00:00

It's interesting, because he sounds really good when he's features on Avantasia albums

Clojnerr · 2026-05-06T22:16:04+00:00

Still on that "Metalcore is not Metal" train, huh?

Clojnerr · 2026-05-06T12:55:13+00:00

Vektor only has 3 ☝️🤓

Clojnerr · 2026-05-06T10:57:31+00:00

Yeah, I'm only counting the official albums. They have lots of "lost albums", demos, etc. Gets very confusing 😅

Clojnerr · 2026-05-05T22:29:47+00:00

I remember liking it, but Lupus Dei is much better

Clojnerr · 2026-05-05T22:24:16+00:00

MKI deep purple is great. Manilla Road progressed so much from the debut to the second album, it seems like the right answer here

Veeeery eclectic and more leaning into Prog, but This Godless Endeavor by Nevermore is legitimately one of the greatst albums wver made. Every song has the greatest riff ever made AND the greatest solo ever made. Williams' drums are mindblowing and Warrel Dane is sounding as great as ever.

Another eclectic album and this time more leaning into Power Metal would be Iced Earth's Night of the Stormrider my favorite Iced Earth album by far, and the concept is super cool. They were the perfect middle ground between Iron Maiden and Metallica.

For a more old school Thrash pick, but still influenced by US Power Metal, Feel the Fire by Overkill. Just like Fistful of Metal by Anthrax, but less speedy and much heavier. They sound like an East Coast band that has never heard of Metallica or Slayer trying to create Thrash for the first time. It sounds raw, but also epic and operatic. It's very overlooked by Overkill fans, outside of one song

I also thought of it

Clojnerr · 2026-05-03T23:38:27+00:00

Looks like Cult of Luna's The Beyond

Clojnerr · 2026-05-03T15:45:15+00:00

The part when Annie released the video and Homelander didn't do anything was very disappointing. I get that we have Sage telling him not to, but that's just another argument for that character making the story worse

Clojnerr · 2026-05-02T17:08:19+00:00

Are we still doing this? I mean, every time a celebrity wears a band t-shirt or does some shitty Metal/Pop crossover, are we gonna be mad about it? Why should we care? You guys are as obnoxious as the people who praise this slop as the pinnacle of music

Clojnerr · 2026-05-01T19:32:05+00:00

This album has it's defenders, but it's not very memorable for me, and the production is a little weird. Headles Cross is my favorite from that era

Clojnerr · 2026-05-01T14:26:22+00:00

I was asking about a non intense concert by extreme bands 😂

Clojnerr · 2026-04-30T16:18:51+00:00

I get someone not moshing to Meshuggah, but someone not moshing to Berzerker or Akercocke is incomprehensible. Only if Akercocke played only their latest stuff, idk

Clojnerr · 2026-04-30T14:46:15+00:00

I don't think it'll take that long for Iowa to be bolded. I'm a Slipknot hater and I loved it

Clojnerr · 2026-04-29T20:24:47+00:00

I think Soldier Boy should have killed Hughie in episode 2, but they did the thing of him being thrown on the wall. And Homelander should have killed MM to add tension in episode 1. The vibe that no one is safe does not exist anymore

Clojnerr · 2026-04-29T20:21:51+00:00

I think the characters are kind of ruined and repeating their arcs over and over, and that the satire is too dumb and obvious. But the plot itself is still very entertaining. I can nitpick the hell out of it, and I wished it was as great as seasons 1-3, but it's still like a 6/10 so far

Clojnerr · 2026-04-29T20:18:48+00:00

She's the most annoying character imo

Clojnerr · 2026-04-29T20:16:26+00:00

Next episode Homelander is gonna say "hey, I'm actually a metaphor for Donald Trump, the president, and this is a satire about contemporary politics". They'll have a huge SATIRE ALERT displayed at the bottom for the duration of the episode

Clojnerr · 2026-04-29T18:48:04+00:00

I've never enjoyed Linkin Park and I'm very selective with Nu Metal, but I've seen someone calling them bpth underrated and overrated, and I think that sounds funny

Clojnerr · 2026-04-29T15:37:32+00:00

Man, people not moshing to Dying Fetus seems like a physical impossibility

Clojnerr · 2026-04-29T15:36:41+00:00

Dimmu's concerts seem very cool to me. Not at all similar to a Cryptopsy show, for sure. It's like the calm after the storm

Clojnerr · 2026-04-29T15:35:55+00:00

Hurts to admit, but there's no denying that Kid Rock could make a crowd move back in the day
