Ontopic Random (Not So) New Music Thread

I dove down the rabbit hole of all the terrible prog metal I used to love in high school. oh boy.

it's really just a bunch of "how do we take what meshuggah's doing....and remove 100% of its teeth"




I have this problem where I try to find new to me metal and then wind up thinking, "Why listen to this when Meshuggah exists?"

I think it's the wedding I'm officiating in June that got me thinking about this old one. Groom can't be over 5'2". ;)


Shit, I'm feeling the early Rod love today.

Lots of their "artsier"/experimental stuff annoys me.

Automatic for the People is a fucking good album though, and the other few albums from around that time were great.

I get it with the artsy stuff but if you see them live it's like holy shit that's a great band. More raw, not as artsy, but the stuff that is artsy makes sense.

Idk. In person they just bring it.
