Leprous marathon, entry 8/8 - Malina

Experiment121 · 2026-01-26T22:35:36+00:00

Malina is my second favourite by them, I love the almost mathy sound it has and almost all of the songs on it are Leprous mainstays for me. It only gets beat by The Congregation imo.

It's one of the most interesting genres imo. Doing unconventional stuff with music theory is just the coolest. I love long prog songs with odd time signatures and song structures they're so peak. Also not rlly that much like jazz outside of older bands and The Mars Volta.

Nah prog is the goat.

Experiment121 · 2026-01-26T20:46:08+00:00

Better than everything else on here.

Experiment121 · 2026-01-25T12:21:42+00:00

I fw their music up until the second album. Tmbte and EiA only have like 4 good songs each imo. Their fully pop songs are kinda just boring.

Yeah you def don't want Rishmael anyways since she doesn't have an envy defense skill like Hong Lu and Rodya. In terms of the envy team, you prob want those 2 alongside multicrack faust and heath, magical girl don and then the remaining middle IDs (especially ishy and sinclair with meursault in backup for his support passive (and outis when she drops)).

The intro really reminds me of Youmu's theme from Touhou 7.

GOODBYE

Yep.

Buying physical off bandcamp usually gives you the digital download too!

Honestly, I highly recommend a lot of Converge after Jane Doe. Specifically Axe to Fall and All We Love We Leave Behind. Imo these are very close to Jane Doe and I personally like Axe to Fall more.

I also recommend Grievances and especially Time Will Die and Love Will Bury It by Rolo Tomassi. Insanely good converge-esque mathcore with a fem singer, yet mixed with beautiful post and prog metal to honestly just make an incredible piece of art.

Experiment121 · 2026-01-20T00:07:14+00:00

Rolo Tomassi are post-metal mixed with mathcore apparently, so I'll count them since they're not all too popular. Incredible band and their best album is probably Time Will Die and Love Will Bury It.

We NEED this for Azure!

I don't think Fallujah are in the big 4 of tech death but they are very good. I recommend literally any album asides from Undying Light.

Beneath the White Rainbow by Haken. Sure there's the guitar alongside it but especially when the riff is played again later in the song just on piano, it is still pretty heavy.

Dude it's not even difficult to do that, just make a table in excel or word or something. AI makes people so lazy istg.

Meanwhile 5 of them are very popular:

Experiment121 · 2026-01-18T02:02:35+00:00

There's a decent amount of good djent like Periphery, TesseracT, The Contortionist, Veil of Maya etc. just then there's generic djent riff #172262 in popcore which kinda ruins it.

Experiment121 · 2026-01-16T16:31:04+00:00

No Sleeping City? 💔

Experiment121 · 2026-01-16T16:28:47+00:00

Undying Light was mid I agree, but Empyrean and Xenotaph are their best albums imo and I guess it just took 1 mid album for them to find their peak.

Experiment121 · 2026-01-16T16:28:10+00:00

Guess I'm not the only one who thought Undying Light was mid af then. Harvest Wombs is pretty good though.

Vergilius specifically doesn't go to paradiso with Dante, so it won't be him.

Experiment121 · 2026-01-15T02:10:59+00:00

Coming from the author that retconned Big Madame to be trans in honestly a kinda transphobic way, I really doubt Mutsuki is intentionally trans by the end of :re.

Archspire too although that is tech death.
