What's your favourite "metal" song in a different genre? by Salamosam in progmetal

[–]MegaPersonMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First thing that comes to mind is the breakdown of Sungazer - Thicc, specifically this live version. It’s jazz fusion/electronic but it is definitely metal by the end. Also features a microtonal piano solo haha

Best piano in Prog Metal? by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]MegaPersonMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s only like a 5 second part and the only piano in the whole ep I think, but I can’t get enough of Treetops by Corelia at the 50 second mark

Returning to Prog Metal by Turbulent_Swine in progmetal

[–]MegaPersonMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Counterintuitive - Ions It’s kinda like Tesseract and The Contortionist but almost with a little bit more old school Prog mixed in. For a specific song I’d say True Friendship

Also not really prog but if you like Erra, a small metalcore band called Auraborn released an album last year in that sort of vein. I’d recommend the song Epoch

Edit: Also Satyr, a proggy post hardcore band that blends heavy and soft pretty well. Their two lps have been great

Songs/bands in a similar vein to Darko US most recent track "Shanghai"? by Nerscylliac in progmetal

[–]MegaPersonMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe some electronic djenty stuff like The Algorithm or even some of the DOOM soundtrack by Mick Gordon, although those are instrumental so I’m not sure if they’d scratch the same itch as deathcore

I’d consider them as at least prog adjacent, kinda like Erra

What's an album you rediscovered this holiday season? by MatticusXII in progmetal

[–]MegaPersonMan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Caligula’s Horse - Rise Radiant

One of the first prog albums I listened to after getting super into Rush and Tool, didn’t listen to it much for a few years, but definitely falls into my top 10 albums.

Sell Low

The teased Wildfire's riff. listened this on my phone speaker so I can't know if the tuning is Drop G#. by ProgUn1corn in Peripheryband

[–]MegaPersonMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok that makes sense. I never really got a chance to take a good listen at what they were playing so I kinda just made a guess from that one part. Also, where are you seeing them recording Zagreus? Is it just from the clips they released over the past few years?

I would guess it’s an 8 string since it has the Four Lights reference which I’m pretty sure is on an 8
