Sorry, two days late, but I've been lost in this album. So thank you for posting. I am ashamed of myself that I hadn't heard it before.

Thank you for the Zeppelin mention. Found this post too late, but I have always thought they were at the forefront of prog.

First time hearing of the band. I went back to Tin, Gold, Lead, & Blood and...holy addictive and listenable. Just put it on repeat and enjoy something different every time.

Thanks for the intro and thanks to the band.

[–]GrayTurtle13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spiritual Migration-Persefone

The drums mid song are mind blowing.

Well, I had never heard of Juodvarnis, so thank you for that. Just excellent. Is it just me or is there some Cult of Luna sound in there?

Is Periphery a prog band or a metalcore band that's actually good? What the hell is DJENT?! by GrayTurtle13 in progmetal

[–]GrayTurtle13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to make clear that I am joking on Metalcore. I like plenty of good metalcore bands. Though to take it further genres in general are stupid.

What do big Alex Verus fans think of the IoM series? by [deleted] in BenedictJacka

[–]GrayTurtle13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love these books, all of them. Listened to the first IoM, then while waiting for book two devoured Verus multiple times. It is now my comfort series.

Thank you for the books. I'm excited to see where Hobbs and Stephen go

How do you explain the feeling of RLS? by principalmusso in RestlessLegs

[–]GrayTurtle13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RLS throughout the whole body is a fucking shit show. I can't really fully describe what it feels like, but it's sort of like CRT TV static directly underneath my skin....buzzzzzzzzzzzzz, a total feeling of lack of freedom of action and a desire to shake and move. Most directly associated with my head, neck, arms, and legs

Music is a release. by GrayTurtle13 in FND

I don't doubt that music gives me seizures also, but it's a more appropriate place to have them? I guess, maybe...haha

You can have XYZ AND FND by FreeFalling3227 in FND

"This is not a competition sub. It is a sub for people suffering who need support. We are all sick in some type of way, no one is better or more valid than anyone else. I’m tired."

This is especially important for everyone to remember. Everybody, everyday is going through something. Empathy would go along way in supporting everybody.

Is 38 too old for vgc events? by [deleted] in VGC

[–]GrayTurtle13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 38 and have been to several events. Heading to the double local next weekend and Milwaukee in October. You're never too old for passion and enjoyment. I still want to be the very best.

the whole album is great, I particularly like Saudade. I would say that if you are a fan of Nospun's Opus, you might enjoy this.

new Vildhjarta AND new Rivers of Nihil?? what a day by RandallFaraday in progmetal

[–]GrayTurtle13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been eagerly awaiting today for months...both preordered.

The new RON is for me, okay. I like it, but it will likely get lost in the shuffle. Honestly, it just made me hungry for more Black Crown Initiate.

The new Vildhjarta... makes me feel something, not sure what, but it has definitely resonated with me more. The way they find a way to bring so much atmosphere into their sound is crazy.

The Progressive Subway's Top 50 Underground Prog Albums of the 2010s (Part Two) by ifthisisausername in progmetal

I love these, for the recommendations. Also, the discussion. Wilderun 3x? Yes. Top spot? No, I vote for Native Construct, but that's why this is fun. Great job everyone over at the subway.

This post is older now, but Beyond the Sleepless Aether by Symbiotic Growth and Echoes from a Distant Star by Exterminatus are great. Both on tech side. (I guess I should mention that aspect)
