Got really into Dream Theater again in the last week….hoping to grab tickets to their concert in Baltimore in early September! The new album Parasomnia is fantastic, these guys are as good now as they’ve ever been! #ProgRock #ProgMetal

It's been a while since I listened to Lords of Black. I love the blend of power and prog metal.

In a reign of madness
Lead us to the sadness
Of a World gone mad
World Gone Mad!
In the heart of darkness
When they cry for justice
But they find their crimes
All their Crimes!

Self-Titled Summer | Animals As Leaders (2009, US)

Next in our new Self-Titled Summer series is number 472 on The List, submitted by Chip_Unicorn. This is the debut album from the Washington D.C.-based band when it was still the solo project of guitarist Tosin Abasi. As Chip_Unicorn noted when sending in this submission, this instrumental prog metal album is full of complex but fun songs that play hard with time signatures and very fast guitar work.

It feels strange that I now describe Katatonia as "easy listening" but that's not an insult to the band. #metal #progmetal

Fresh on my #blog "New and new-to-me music" for this week. Swedish doom metal, Welsh metalcore, English folk, and some of the dirtiest pop music.

I invite you to explore the captivating sound world of Paula Teles. In this exclusive interview, I spoke with the Fado/Prog-Metal artist about loss, artistic freedom, and the magic of blending Portuguese tradition with modern heaviness. The result is this emotional, honest, and inspiring conversation about her life, her work and her latest album, "Entreparedes".

I’m looking for other #metal #musicians and general musicians in Milwaukee, WI, if anyone wants to jam some time or work on an idea. (Edit: I’m most into prog metal, melodic stuff, and jazz influenced stuff.)

I would judge my guitar playing to be somewhere in intermediate-advanced but I don’t have a lot of experience jamming with others or playing with a band, and that’s a skill I’d like to develop.

A friend of mine - actually my old guitar teacher! - is looking for a new bassist for his progressive metal band, Endeavour. They're based in Bristol, UK.

Full details are on the band's FB page (I know, I know...) https://www.facebook.com/EndeavourBandOfficial

I'll include the text from the post on the page in the thread, but the TL;DR is that you should drop a mail to endeavourbandofficial@gmail.com if you are interested.

Listening to "Connection" from @SOULSPLITTER

Okay, Neufund für mich und ich liebe sie schon nach drei Songs!
Weiß jemand, ob es zu "Acyl" irgendwo im Netz Lyrics gibt? Ich hab nichts gefunden.
