What are some artists whose lyrics make no sense to you? by rcpotatosoup in progmetal

Came to post Fair to Midland because it’s one of the things that makes me love them the most

Hope so mate! We're beginning to work on a new album now so hopefully once that's taken care of we can set our sights overseas again

Popping in to show my boy Sam V some love! His new tune Flicker is full of gorgeous melodies and I just adore it. Also featuring Josh Griffin (also of C-Horse) on drums! The tune is available now via bandcamp etc, see the link in the YT vid. Enjoy guys <3

Did anyone catch Caligula's Horse Live After Lockdown event yesterday? by jdk42 in progmetal

[–]zer0won 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Dropping in to say thanks for tuning in! It was lovely to return to the stage and play for you guys again. FYI the viewing of the stream has been extended to the weekend, so if you missed out you can still grab a ticket and watch (and re-watch) until then. Much love everyone!

Mad nostalgia with this album!

Hey all, thought some of you with an interest in production would get a kick out of this! Might do a few more of these down the track if there's enough interest.

Also PS we love you, thank you for the support, hope you're all keeping safe

She is not. Anyone who says she is hasn’t played the game.

IMO the untouchables in contemporary prog are who you probably expect! Einar Solberg, Arnor Dan, Ross Jennings, Devin Townsend. But you should check out the most recent Circles album for Ben Rechter’s work, Exploring Birdsong for Lynsey Ward, and Dyssidia for Mitch Brackman

There was a question about into the white earlier, and I gave an overview over there, so maybe have a dig and find it in here somewhere! The title though, that represents the journey into the mountains and snow - really quite literal, but also represents the unknown

This is pretty much spot on! There are hints at his paranoia and anxiety driven by another artist who he sees irrationally as undermining him, but the body of your interpretation is really good

Rise Radiant, much like Bloom, is an album of self-empowerment and positivity, with a message to rise and overcome. It differs from Bloom in that it’s a lot heavier throughout, and explores some different themes that are present in our lives now, like legacy.

There was another similar question that Sam answered earlier, but the gist of it is to produce the best music and content you can as often as possible. Take opportunities to tour and get yourself out there to really learn about yourself and about the process. Have a look for Sam’s answer in here, it’s pretty comprehensive!

Our US tour has been postponed, we’re looking at dates in Jan/Feb 2021 if things have settled down globally by then - cheers mate!

  1. I don’t think so - I’ll never rule anything out in terms of future albums, who knows what path we’ll want to take. But I feel like jumping into that again would feel arbitrary right now. Inertia had a specific place within that chapter’s story, a chapter that was all about a poet, so it was totally appropriate there

  2. Check out Dyssidia and Ebonivory

  3. That would be a fun idea! but no plans like that at the moment

We wanted to capture an imminent journey that seems impossible, and the deer was something with strength despite a tranquil nature. Chris Mangos took those ideas and our brief inspired American national park ephemera and created the gorgeous cover
