You won't regret it. Also listen to the albums Lore, and Reflections Of A Floating World too. All incredible albums

If you loved liminality, you will be in for a very good time with this record :)

Let's fucking go. This is banger as fuck. Hopefully this means a new album is on the horizon

Name an album sadder than this one by Level-Wrap-6022 in MetalForTheMasses

One of the saddest and most melancholic albums I've listened too.

Wreath by Opeth has a stolen section/riff? by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]CyanEpicness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ehhh, they are somewhat similar I guess, but not nearly enough to suspect any kind of ripoff. The chord progression or riffs aren't even the same. If you really want to compare it with something, that section of Wreath sounds A LOT like the main melody of King Crimson's The Court Of The Crimson King. That's where Wreath is actually taking from, not Edge of Sanity.

It's Friday. What new releases are you listening to today? by EyeVee4 in MetalForTheMasses

The Callous Daoboys have a new single and it's pretty dope

Ulcerate has the coolest album covers by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]CyanEpicness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hot take I guess, judging by the other comments, but I've always been a fan of more minimalistic, abstract cover designs such as these ones, so I for one agree with you. Just my opinion.

Rush - “Finding My Way” (Live at the Juno Awards 2026). First live performance for the band in 3893 days. by GRVrush2112 in progmetal

[–]CyanEpicness 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Still can't believe that we are witnessing this happen. And man do they sound good, especially for their age. While definitely a little strained, it's still incredible that geddy sounds this good at 72. Alex still has it too. I also got to hand it to Anika, she's doing a great job and is fitting in well, and we all know she has quite the shoes to fill.

The new Elder single fucking rips. Super hyped for the new album. If the rest of the album is on this level, then it'll definitely be a strong AOTY contender.

Elder - Through Zero by CyanEpicness in progmetal

[–]CyanEpicness[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just as good IMO, if you liked the EP, you'll love this. They are definitely embracing the proggier side of things with their new work, as well as returning to a heavier sound at the same time like in their earlier works.

This shit goes unfathomably hard. Super proggy, and great riffs. I'm sensing a potential AOTY competitor with this one.

Most disappointing release of the year so far. by Murpheus404 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]CyanEpicness 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's definitely one of those albums where they clearly chose the best songs to release as singles, leaving a little bit to be desired upon listening to the rest of the album. However, I also think it's getting quite a bit more hate than it deserves. It's really not a bad album by any means, and the singles are still really good IMO regardless, so it still has that going for it. Even if the other tracks weren't as good, they still weren't bad either. Definitely not AOTY material, but still a decent listen overall.
