2012 Prog, Power, or Symphonic Metal - Page 2

SeaStorm · March 3rd, 2012, 11:53 AM

FYI, Ulterium posted this on their Facebook page a few weeks ago: "Darkwater are currently working on new material for their third album."

Parched Earth · March 4th, 2012, 01:54 PM

The Sacrificed just came out with "III" (their third album). They are a Christian prog metal band in the vein of early Queensryche. I just recently picked up their 2nd album "2012" (ironically released in 2010). I haven't picked up the new one but probably will sometime soon.

Neal Morse (with Mike Portnoy and Randy George) will have his newest album come out in the fall. He's not a dedicated "metal" artist, but I mention him here for these reasons:
1. His music is Epic Symphonic Prog with metallic leanings.
2. His lyrics are overtly Christian (and awesome) the same way Theocracy's is.
3. Mike Portnoy is his drummer and all my friends that are fans of PPS Metal are fans of Portnoy and they dig everything I play them from Neal Morse.
4. Neal Morse's albums are INCREDIBLY AWESOME.

Yeah I just saw that! It's coming out in the beginning of May!!

If you want to get a taste (maybe) of one of the new Sonata songs, I am seeing numerous people online saying that Losing My Insanity is "an old song Tony wrote for Ari Koivunen's first album". Not sure if that's true, but here's the song in question:

JayArby · March 16th, 2012, 03:00 PM

wow, the guitar at the end was pretty intense--almost like Dragonforce.

Rawshik · March 16th, 2012, 04:39 PM

Not bad. Not bad at all.

JamesDS · March 16th, 2012, 07:08 PM

Wow, they reach an inhumanely-high note at 1:08 of the Enceladus video!

Parched Earth · March 16th, 2012, 11:26 PM

I picked up The Sacrificed's new album "III." There's one track on youtube (see below). I also like the cover they do of Queensryche's Before The Storm.

This thread seems like the perfect place for me to mention again my "new power/prog/symphonic metal music" service PPS Metal. Basically, I post new music every day. I usually look for 2012 releases. If I don't find any on a given day, then I post a 2011 song from a band's most recent album. I've been going for about three weeks now. Take a look and see if you like the stuff I've been posting. If you do, please consider giving me a Like/follow.

I'm looking forward to this. The sampler was interesting, but a little disjointed.
The prospect of new extreme power metal makes the world a much more exciting place!

heiljudas · March 25th, 2012, 06:18 PM

ok two songs will be uploaded on the 27th (this tuesday!)

make sure to subscribe to our youtube page if you like what you hear!

Seventh Avenue has a new album? I'm having trouble finding any dates. Does anyone have a link?
I don't have Facebook so that may be my problem.

Sounds promising! Enceladus has been posted on PPS Metal (facebook.com/PPSMetal & twitter.com/PPSMetal)

SeaStorm · April 21st, 2012, 08:03 PM

Since Enceladus has been mentioned, we'd be remiss if we didn't also mention new Scottish power metal band Ascension (both bands are in the Dragonforce mold).

Here's the video for Somewhere Back In Time from their upcoming 2012 debut album Far Beyond The Stars:

Good stuff!

Tourniquet can be progressive at times there releasing one this year...I hope, I mean it has been delayed who knows how many times already.

I finally gave this a listen. Got about 5 minutes in before I stopped it and bought the album.

Haha, you're welcome! Warning: shameless promotion ahead...

If you were following my "new power/prog/symphonic music service" at facebook.com/ppsmetal & twitter.com/ppsmetal, you would have known about them 5 weeks ago!

Well yes, but I'm not on facebook.

I have been thinking of signing up, mainly to say hi to an old friend,
but I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it...

So there's a 5 week delay between PPS Metal Facebook and Theocracy's Ultimate Metal Forum?
