Im not crazy about it, but im pretty sure Scar Symmetry is big here and their 08 release is leaked mates
TEXTURES sounds very metalcore to me. I'm really tired to death of that scene already. I do like the new ABYSMAL DAWN album "Programmed to Consume" very much, though.I wanna thank anybody and everybody who mentioned Textures, because I don't know why they have been under my radar. Their new disc is so damned incredible, and it just gets better and better with every listen. I think his cleans are the closest I have heard to sounding like Devin Townsend, or at least to me he sounds a little like Devin. Best release easily for me this year, but there are plenty of contenders coming, so let's see what happens after the storm settles.
So far...
Those I mentioned earlier:
Malpractice - Triangular
Ghost Circus - Across the Line
Kiuas - The New Dark Age
And:
Sacrum - Cognition
Appearance of Nothing - Wasted Time
Jorn - Lonely Are the Brave
Votum - Time Must Have a Stop
Souljourners - Mind Control
Ivory Tower - Subjective Enemy
Invisigoth - Narcotica
Silent Call - Creations From a Chosen Path
and of course...
Judas Priest - Nostradamus
Yeah the Votum is pretty damn good...especially if you like "atmosphere" with your prog metal. Some nods to Riverside and maybe Opeth. Being a Mindflow fan...you should appreciate it.
I also added the new Royal Hunt to my list...don't know how I missed that one...Mark Boals fits right in.
Fuck...added Zero Hour...how could l forget that 1...DD slays tech prog metal.
That new Royal Hunt is awesome, and yes Boals does fit in, but you gotta miss John West.
Yeah John l'm a big West fan...have you got the Emir Hot release with John on vocals? He's good on it.
Ghost Circus - Across the Line
I checked out VOTUM's myspace page. Kinda different. I dig different. I get a bit of a RIVERSIDE vibe going on. Must be a Polish thing. I'd watch them if they played Progpower.Yeah the Votum is pretty damn good...especially if you like "atmosphere" with your prog metal. Some nods to Riverside and maybe Opeth.

Yeah .. I definately hear the Riverside in there. Votum seems much more straight forward though. I also hear a little Wolverine in there as well. I bought the tunes from Itunes a few weeks back ... good stuff .. not great .. to my ears at least.I checked out VOTUM's myspace page. Kinda different. I dig different.
