IRQ posted:Roy Kahn's voice, like many, many others, is processed a bit on the albums, but I've heard him live many times and he is quite good and not reliant upon computer processing to sound good. Recently? I don't know. I really didn't care for their last album at all so I don't know, but the guy does have a great voice. Sexbomb posted:Did anyone else see them on the tour with Fabio? I almost got to interview them, but their label never got back to my editor.

IRQ posted:I wish I could believe that Dragonforce is a joke band, but then I remember that time I had the misfortune of seeing Powerglove (I was there for Symphony X) and people were totally into it. They still only have effectively one song after 4? albums, so I guess if you really, really love that song you should buy their albums and hear 20 variations on it?

Nordick posted:Karevik sounds great, but uh, perhaps they're going a bit overboard with the Khan-mimicry? I'm not really complaining, it's just a bit funny. Also, I wonder if this means Alissa White-Gluz is going to be a permanent fixture on their tours now in addition to Elize Ryd.

Those On My Left posted:Asymmetry was a big disappointment to me. Sonically, it's muddy as hell. As far as the songwriting goes, it is, as you say, hugely uneven. There's not much to get excited about after track 5. Also tossing in a recommendation for Symphony X as a prog-metal band to check out, since Michael Romeo is some sort of insane guitar-playing robot.

Someone mentioned Vanden Plas a couple pages ago. Apparently they have a new album out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwKckeSE2ug From what I can tell of this song, it sounds exactly like their last two albums, but I'm okay with that.

Some impressions of the new as-yet-untitled Opeth album. Depending on your point of view, you will either be disappointed or excited that it's apparently the love child of Ghost Reveries and Damnation (and also that there's no growling on this album either).

New Leprous, although they're calling this more a rock album than a metal album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZSlX1zXnfM In a similar vein of "skirting the boundary between prog rock and metal", new Caligula's Horse announced for September.

From a completely separate genre: New Caligula's Horse is finally out. It's good: less mellow than Bloom and more like the album before it. Here's another single: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2Wgxj5-q98 As a prog nerd, this is probably my AotY so far, pending some more listens. Apologies for interrupting your black metal discussions.

Lid posted:Mastodon are notoriously inconsistent live - sometimes they sound as primal as Remission and Leviathan and other times they seem to be high as gently caress and half assing The Hunter. Having seen them with Gojira and Baroness makes clear the differences because Gojira are always technically on point and Baroness are one of the few bands that might as well be rock stars with the "it" factor thanks to how charismatic John Baizley is. Really, the selling point for that tour for me is that they're coming to the Greek Theater in Berkeley.
