My Copy of A View from the Top of the World just arrived and I have popped it in and listening to it now.
Tesseract announced a new album. Fingers crossed for a US tour.
Been loving Portals which is basically a compilation of their career, getting most of my fav songs from them in one album is great.Tesseract announced a new album. Fingers crossed for a US tour.
I love this new album from Devin. Better than his last few which were good just not as good.
I bought the double one I love both, Nightwork is also great you are correct!!Bloody good album, he actually brought in a "mainstream" producer and why it sounds more like a traditional album than Devin's weirdness (which is also great). I highly recommend listening to the B side of that album (Nightworks), at this point, I like it more than the actual album lol.
Also, Colours II was absolutely amazing and one of the best albums I've heard in the last couple of years. Definitely BTBAM's best album yet.

I admit going into Colours II a bit hesitant, yes it was BTBAM but it feels like these "sequel" albums often set unrealistic expectations and flub it. Incorrect. CII was awesome beginning to end and I especially love the musical callbacks to the first. White Walls is probably one of my top 5 all-time favorite songs and the way Human is Hell had all the references made me a happy dude.
New NeO song and album. Also announced a kickass tour lineup including Beyond Creation and Persefone...which is not coming within 6 hours of me. Got-damnit.
When I heard everything about this album for the first time, I like you thought it was going to be one of those "milk it" moments while another part of me honestly thought they simply ran out of ideas. I mean I liked Coma Ecliptic and the Automata series, but they didn't touch the sound they had on Colours I or Alaska for me. They come across as having monotonous, average sounds even if there were some brilliant songs on either of them like "Turn on the Darkness or "Blot." However, I was mindblown by Colours II, just revolutionary for their discography and they found a unique blend between harsh and melodic. I too love "White Walls," but you can't go with any song on that album and I think Colours II shares some of the same attributes.I admit going into Colours II a bit hesitant, yes it was BTBAM but it feels like these "sequel" albums often set unrealistic expectations and flub it.

That's impressive vocals. Thx!
Glad you guys like it lol. This is the first single on LP #2 for these up and coming local STL boys, they’re starting to get on some cross country tours so keep you eyes peeled! (I posted on of their songs of their debut album a few posts up on this page as well)I'll have to listen to that more.
Stu Block, to me, has to be one of the best voices in metal. If you don't know him, listen to this to get eargasm.That's impressive vocals. Thx!
Great band. Sure, they tend to go a bit too crazy with off-time signatures, but their jazz sections are fantastic along with their overall song formation. Granted that this is an older song, but "Atlas Stone" by them is one of the best individual songs I've heard in the past three or so years as they were a more recent discovery for me. Also love "1985."Haken has a new album coming out in March.
