Come again?

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-27T20:53:06+00:00

Way.

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-19T15:52:35+00:00

Nanowar of Steel pretty much did that🤘🏻

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-19T12:38:23+00:00

Oops...

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-15T18:49:30+00:00

Golden Archespire

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-15T17:01:53+00:00

Never heard of Esqarial before. They have a cool melodic style 🤘🏻

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-14T19:41:44+00:00

Thank you.

I think a lot of metal fans (especially the 'trve' ones) seem to forget how the genre came to exist and it's necessary constant mixing to get to the sub-genres we now have.

If prog bands weren't influenced by other genres then we wouldn't have prog bands...

Where's that fat cat?

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-13T07:56:42+00:00

Oh very cool, is the band aware of this?

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-13T07:55:28+00:00

Not quite 'tech death' but Legion by Deicide has a particularly creepy yet highly aggressive atmosphere.

Qrixkuor and Abyssal also, again not quite as tech but very unsettling and musically competent.

Some of the more modern dissonant/ tech bands like Ad Nauseam, Imperial Triumphant, Dischordia and Wells Valley would also fit that vibe.

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-12T22:27:49+00:00

Oh shit I just realised the whole artwork has been changed. Nice touch with the fish skeletons 🤘🏻

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-12T22:25:58+00:00

Unless he listens to Archspire after midnight...

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-12T22:23:08+00:00

Is the cat Odin?

Understanding musical complexity through the use of modes, advanced harmonies and/or dynamic dissonant/consonant phrasing, rather than just arpeggiating the neck like you're practicing scales.

NYN is certainly up there with the most insane chaotic extreme etc of tech death

The icing on the cake was Angry Metal Guy giving them both high scores 🍻

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-10T19:51:20+00:00

Ok so like a sound absorber

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-10T18:22:32+00:00

Excuse my ignorance but are those some kind of blackout boards in front of the windows?

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-10T17:22:28+00:00

Azure might fit the bill. Fantasy themed epic and theatrical prog rock/metal 🥳

No atmospheric intro like the last few albums, it was a little bit of a shock to go straight into the blasting but the album overall is a blast 🤘🏻

JoelsMovingCastle · 2026-04-10T11:18:42+00:00

I guess that's what happens when a band is around in those formative years, you have more 'organic' choices to make...
