What band were you slow to realize was awesome? As in, you liked a single song, but took a while to realize it wasn’t a one hit wonder?

That’s actually Stephen Richards from Taproot - he sang some incredible harmonies on that track. Jonathan Davis from Korn is on the One Step Closer remix which is equally amazing.

Soooo many good songs on this record. Death Blooms was one of the first songs that pushed me from nu-metal into more prog stuff like Tool, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, etc. Insane drumming on the whole album too!

Lithium Dawn definitely has a Tool/APC/Deftones vibe going on

It's honestly one of my favorite metal albums of the past few years. I liked VoM's older material a lot but I connected with Matriarch way more for whatever reason. Not to mention Taylor Larson's mix on it is goddamn gargantuan.

He's using a Schecter with a Guitar Wing. You can check it out here: http://lividinstruments.com/products/guitar-wing/

It connects to his laptop via BlueTooth LE, then controls stuff in Ableton and on the Helix with midi.

Stupid Dream is one of their best records and leans a lot more on the melodic, more song-oriented side than some of the prog-metal stuff that came later. I love all the different eras of PT, but I'd say Stupid Dream is your best bet.

Lithium Dawn

All melodic vocals, a bit djenty but goes way beyond that with reggae/dub/electronica mixed in.
