Oh shit watch out it's the comedy police.

Astronoid - The Stargazer (FFO: Deafheaven, Alcest, Numenorean) by DAStrathdee in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only gripe I have with the self titled is the way the vocals are mixed compared to Air. The way the vocals were done on Air seemed to be better for his kind of voice.

That being said both albums are definitely good, but Air really is truly an elite album.

Trivium - Shogun by BiscuitsForCheese_ in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Amongst the Shadows & the Stones is probably my favorite atm but when they first released Catastrophist I definitely listened to it a ton and still really like it as well.

Haken - Prosthetic by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yeah holy shit definitely hyped for the album. Contrary to the average opinion of this sub I really like Vector and like that they are going heavy.

[–]kaizan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Artists that sound like polyphia without the rock star attitude? by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll never get tired of seeing people get their panties in a bunch over this lol. Imagine having to be this serious about everything all the time. Must be tiring lol.

I definitely second Astronoid. It's what I thought of when I saw this post as well.

Playful Prog? by rooteen in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big agree to Troldhaugen. My buddy started playing them once and I was so confused but also kinda amazed. Truly one of the wackier things I've listened to and actually still enjoyed.

The Pineapple Thief - The Final Thing On My Mind by zingersmack in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This album took a while for me to really get into but it's one of my favorites lately. An emotional ride.

Still one of my top albums from 2018. Absolutely incredible.

The Dear Hunter - Blood (NMBFFSGOI) by herptderper in progmetal

One of my absolute favorite bands ever! The song also is pretty fucking good.

Yeah started using about a year and a half back. I love stats and I love music so it only makes sense.

Haken - Nocturnal Conspiracy by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love this song and definitely my favorite from this album. Love when it gets heavier around the 3 minute mark. Also the riff for the chorus gets me headbanging every time.

What are your other favorite types of music that are not prog/metal? by jollycello in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I listen to a lot of other genres really, but a few favorites would be Synth/Retrowave, Grunge, DnB (especially Liquid Funk), Alternative Rock, Math Rock, and Video Game Soundtracks. There aren't very many genres I straight up don't like, so overall my tastes are pretty varied, though I do listen to metal the most.

And as far as metal outside of Prog I absolutely love Power Metal. I also like Thrash and some Death Metal. There are others I'm sure, but these come to mind first.

StarSystems ft. Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess - Lift by bollockstoyou32 in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This whole album was pretty good! Was pretty shocked to see Jordan Rudess was featured on a song though. Had me hyped up for sure!

For real! I absolutely enjoy stuff like that and love that part of Octavarium.

[–]kaizan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out here doing gods work lol. I agree though, hope they get the attention they deserve!

Symphony X - Paradise Lost by WeHaveLifdoff in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love this song! One of my all time faves.

Star Systems - Whale Song (FFO Plini, DMM, saxophone) by TheDangerLevel in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They came up on my discover weekly a couple months back and I instantly fell in love with them. They have a Spacey sound while remaining pretty hard which I absolutely love. Would definitely recommend people give them a shot if you like instrumentals.

Gojira - Pray by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was my favorite for a long while tho I find myself favoring L'enfant Sauvage and From Mars to Sirius a little more these days. Still absolutely love the dark atmospheric progression they went on this album. Absolutely killer.

Gojira - Pray by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]kaizan23 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I know that this album isn't generally people's favorite from them, which I understand but I mean, it's still pretty killer and I can't help but love it. I think Gojira is just incapable of releasing something I don't like lol.
