These guys are AWESOME, found out about them when I saw them live last week. If you get bored watching this then keep skipping forward, there's a HUGE variety of stuff in there.

[SandChigger]

Not exactly something you can hum along to while doing the dishes, though, now is it?

[SadisticCynic]

Found these guys today, described by another as Meshuggah-ish instrumental prog metal.

I have no idea what that really means but on listening to them I was blown away: Animals As Leaders

In case it doesn't load up the same, I suggest Tempting Time first...

Pretty good, definitely very prog. Not particularly Meshuggah-esque though, they probably just said that because of the odd time signatures and extreme detuning/8 string guitars.

Remember way back when...?

I'm not that technically advanced at humming!

Well then, I should listen more carefully to what you say I should listen to! Apparently I also have a terrible memory... Sometimes it just takes seeing a group live for me to really fall in love with them though. Especially stuff like this, the reality is that there are so many amazing prog-metal musicians out there that sometimes it takes me a little extra time to decide if a group is one I'm going to listen to more or not.

I like that it's not just a pile of wankery either, they actually have really great songwriting and (not in that song particularly, but in others) take a lot of time out from shredding to just concentrate on the melodic and rhythmic.

Dutch band "De Staat"... and I like it:

[SandChigger]

That was kinda fun.

[A Thing of Eternity]

It was fun... still shocks me when people say the kind of music I listen to is weird when stuff like THAT exists though!

I was thinking precisely the same thing.

[JustSomeGuy]

Nice.

[Serkanner]

De Staat is NOT weird!! ... they have released two very good albums and I think they are on the top of the food chain of Dutch talent.

Old talent: Jan Akkerman while in the band Focus:



There was also a version made especially for the US market.

[A Thing of Eternity]

Hey Focus is pretty cool - any time I hear a flute in rock or metal I'm pretty much sold!

But yes, sorry, De Staat is pretty weird - Chig even sounded like he thought it was a little weird and he spent the last decades in the homeland of weird, JAPAN.

[Crysknife]

I'm loving me some Volbeat lately. They're a Danish band that mixes a bunch of different sounds....killer.

Country music is rarely my first choice but I enjoyed that. Did they intend for the lyrics to contrast so strangely withthe honesty of the music?

That explains it, thanks!
