Quoting from January because I'm just getting caught up on this one but my first impression is that Winter Thrice is the best thing Borknagar has done in close to twenty years

for real though even if you just listened to the most popular modern stuff there's been a massive trend of wanky fretless bass in anything remotely tech/prog these days

I wholeheartedly agree and am always really happy when there's cool bass stuff going on in a song.

However, people getting cranky over xzzy's throwaway joke is loving funny, when it should be loving obvious the barb was directed against the trend of inaudible bass.

They begin again

It's generally annoying that the trend of loud drums, low tunings, and deep vocals combined to gently caress over the sonic space the bass exists in. Bands that actually understand giving their mix the proper room are too rare. I'd love to hear a modern metal band approach the genre with a Rush like balance of their instruments.

That's why Pig Destroyer had it right. Pretty easy to balance a mix with just drums vocal and guitar.

if you want good audible bass in modern metal, without the mix being totally sterile, listen to anything by this band

If we're plugging bands right now, Sieges Even is fantastic and I can't get enough of their album Life Cycle

Gamma Nerd

Not a modern band but I was inclined to mention them when discussing good production, actually! The production job on A Sense of Change is, imo, one of the best in 90s prog metal. Very rush-esque and crisp.

The other album I'd put up there, and maybe you'd like it if you like SE, is Power of Omens' debut. The interplay is very, very complex and it's very hard to really get into what's going on at points - it took me at least 15 listens over a few months for it to really click - but at the very least the drumming is :stonk: incarnate. Like the Confessor drummer with less kick use. But yeah the production on that album has a dark and icy isolated quality that adds a lot to the fatalistic atmosphere.

The bass is one thing I always liked about Lux Occulta (and Decapitated - same bassist and guitarist for a few years there IIRC) - it was always audible in the mix and sometimes did some really cool poo poo.

I misread this at first and thought you meant the album Lvx Occulta by this weird German band Martyrium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ6WTzSRoYg

it doesn't have very prominent bass but it does have a drummer who just kinda does whatever he feels like instead of playing along with the rest of the band.

i don't mean to be snippy but really babymetal is so overdiscussed, and word of mouth is exactly what gets them popularity whether it's positive or negative discussion. best to just avoid talking about them because what's the point?
