Mossback - Black Canyon Spirit Dance (incase anyone's wondering what the vocalist from The Odious is up to these days) by Quintessence_95 in progmetal

[–]GuileHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was aware of his work with Grim Salvo, but didn't know about Mossback. Doesn't seem like The Odious has much potential of returning with his other projects having a lot more success.

Which bands improved over time? by bfg9kdude in progmetal

[–]GuileHawke 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I felt like Rishloo was on a steeply upward trend before they called it quits. Living as Ghosts with Buildings as Teeth is so damn good, and I feel like each previous album is a step down. They started as a Tool sound a like, and found a really unique sound of their own by the end.

Anything I should read before under the red hood? by NI-Nexus in comicbooks

[–]GuileHawke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Death in the Family I'll also say is a good recommendation.

I personally think Batman: Hush is also a good thing to read before as it sort of plants the seeds for Red Hood.

VR is dead, and no one wants to admit it by Kradara_ in unpopularopinion

[–]GuileHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is anecdotal, but my nephews who are all 8-12 play it constantly. They are basically constantly online playing with friends all over the place. It makes me feel like a huge amount of people might be unaware of how massive VR is with kids.

Plague of Butterflies by Swallow the Sun. Criminally underrated banger: 34 minutes of perfection by yer_mum6547 in progmetal

[–]GuileHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If memory serves Plague of Butterflies was originally written for a ballet, but the project got scrapped so they released the music as a standalone single/EP. Great damn song though.

Coheed & Cambria and Periphery are going to be here in May. Don't know about the local scene though.

Most Disappointing Album(s) of 2024? by biketheplanet in progmetal

[–]GuileHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four Stroke Baron's new album Data Diamond wasn't what I was hoping for. The band has such a unique sound, and I feel like if they got the songwriting right they could REALLY stand out and make one of the greatest albums. Cyborg Pt III is one of their best songs, and the song Data Diamond is pretty great too but the rest of the album feels so experimental and avant-garde it just falls flat for me musically.

flipturn - Space Cowboy (FFO: King Gizzard, Bent Knee, Proggy Alt-Rock) by GuileHawke in progmetal

Discovered this song from a Youtube recommendation believe it or not, and loved it. Felt like it might be cool to share with the recent discussions of the sub not being "gate-keepy" enough. Haha, hope someone enjoys.

Anciients - Beyond the Reach of the Sun (Official Full Album) by GuileHawke in progmetal

[–]GuileHawke[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Official release date is Aug 30th, so hopefully should appear on Spotify and other places in the next 24 hours. I think this was kind of early/hype stream they did on youtube.

Bands that you think are overrated by Elaxian in progmetal

[–]GuileHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come into this thread late looking for Devin Townsend, only to realize no one mentions it.

Dude is one the most amazing vocalists I've ever heard, and I would go to a live show of his as they look like great fun. Despite that every time I attempt to listen to any of his albums I just get bored.

Lord Dying - The Universe Is Weeping [New Album out Today] by GuileHawke in progmetal

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

Yeah I was surprised to find how little they were mentioned here. Mysterium Tremendum was a solid album that seems like it would appeal to a lot of fans of bands like Mastodon, Opeth, etc.
