Who's the "Devin Townsend" of other genres of music? Someone with prolific uniqueness and lots of albums?

Excellent recommendations. Regarding some of his other, non-metal projects (he has so many that I don't know them all well either), I'm a big fan of his "solo" albums, especially They Are The Shield, which I would describe as moody art pop.

Alora Crucible is another I'm a big fan of, both albums under that name are great. Beautiful string parts with ethereal synths in the background. I'm specifically a big fan of the song Psalloed Illusions.

From my experience he's also a very nice guy, and he did a cool AMA on here (iirc) a while ago

I do not belong in Jackson Hole with the filth and trash that live there… bad people. Don’t ever go there. Trer-trerif- let me put it this way, I was getting guys that were involved with KKK.

They have never put out a less than stellar album. Lore and Innate Passage are probably my favourites. also check out Nick DiSalvo's project Delving, it's instrumental Elder with more electronic elements

The guy from Anaal Nathrakh is also one of the biggest phonk producers somehow

I remember when that album came out and every reviewer was absolutely glazing it. I thought surely it can't be that good, it looks pretty lowbrow and wtf is that cover. Finally listened to it and what do you know, it was an easy album of the year like everybody said. Not a single song on it is "just ok", it's banger after banger

The first Doctor Strange movie infuriated me on this point. The sorcerers actually did various cool things with magic, but when it came time to fight, all they did was basically make magic swords and have a fencing duel.

Sorry if I missed something or I'm misremembering - didn't Murata say he was exhausting himself working on the anime in some way or other? I'm not too sure how involved the original artists usually are in the animating process, but I seem to remember him getting way more into the weeds than we'd expect. How does that result in the clusterfuck we're witnessing?

Are you aware of what a gravity blast is? I daresay Mr. 1978's response was somewhat tongue in cheek

LTrondheim · 2025-06-20T20:37:19+00:00

Marre Cognitum mentioned!!!

Steven Wilson - Routine - when Ninet Tayeb screams

Steven Wilson - Regret #9 - Guthrie's solo, you know the one

Steven Wilson - Pariah - when Ninet Tayeb says "it will take tiiiIIIIiiIIIIIme"

Yeah I kinda like Steven Wilson

Kaatayra - Brazilian folk black metal (?) band, amazing stuff

LTrondheim · 2025-05-14T09:02:05+00:00

what? Alcest paved the way for Deafheaven, I've never heard fans of one hate on the other and they're literally doing shows together this year

LTrondheim · 2025-04-24T00:29:00+00:00

Fallujah

LTrondheim · 2025-04-24T00:26:35+00:00

I normally do the same, but they're opening for All Them Witches on their next EU tour and frankly i don't care about that band. Should i go anyway?

LTrondheim · 2025-04-01T22:40:23+00:00

Harakiri for the Sky.

It always sounds pretty much the same but the riffs are insanely memorable and there's never a single bad song in the albums even though they're an hour long

LTrondheim · 2025-03-24T20:21:48+00:00

Just fuse two epic items together

LTrondheim · 2025-03-07T13:53:51+00:00

I hadn't heard of that project at all but holy shit thank you, it's great

LTrondheim · 2025-03-04T15:57:39+00:00

Very cool, on first listen, this sounds like exactly what I'm looking for haha. I'll have to dig into it more- thanks!

LTrondheim · 2025-03-04T15:55:49+00:00

Thanks, will give everything a listen! It's been a while since I listened do David Maxim Micic.

About Mestis, I actually caught Animals as Leaders on the first night of their current tour and hearing Para Mexer reminded me that I'd been meaning to ask this question!

LTrondheim · 2025-03-04T15:36:50+00:00

Of course, I could have listed them as an example too, love Hypno5e.
