Donât mind me, just gonna stink up this thread with some progressive/groove shit Iâm partial to.
geadom´s favorite / essential metal albums, vol 2:
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
So prog metal is just wankery? Vocalists with their balls being squeezed by a cat? Lyrics about imaginary stuff that wouldnt even fit in Foster´s Mansion?
Wrong.
YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS SHIT NOW.
This is crack, this is why you´re listening to music, this is art, this is fucking everything.
-High vocals, but far from that âOMG my ears bleedâ feel. Melodic, clear, and with great entonation on the right parts.
-BEST LYRICS ever. Album is the best conceptual album ever, dealing with a crack addict that joined âthe revolutionâ and did MANY crimes, then reformed in the hands of a prostitute turned nun⌠and then lost the memory.
-Musicianship that is gonna kick your balls, with GREAT riffs, even better soloing, and wait until you listen the bass lines on this baby.
-With all this ambition, the album NEVER feels bloated, excessive or a wankfest. Songs average 5 minutes at most, give you plenty of time to appreciate them without making you booze (take that, Dream Theater).
Seriously guys, dont miss this album, it has already received like all the praise ever for a reason: This is pure prog / metallic bliss:
Hell fucking yeah!
8 years ago the internet radio station Pandora.com got blocked in Germany and up until now I havenât found a convenient way to bypass it, but guess what?
An hour ago I stumbled across a Google plugin which bypasses every fucking video ban on the internet for me.

Gonna post some of the shit the radio played for me today:
Some shit Iâve heard there was really good progressive metal or rather music, but sadly couldnât find a video or Wikipedia entry for them.
Give me the names and i will upload the songs to youtube
Thanks for the offer.
Actually found a youtube video for one band.
Had to unblock the youtube search for it.
Also one of my favorite bands ever with a very distinctive sound:
The other band was called âEventâ with the song âCoincidental Existenceâ.
The band doesnât even have a wikipedia or youtube entry or anything.
It seems that i already had the band, lol
Ill bite.
Funny how Hecatom is called someone else a faggot when hes posting some of the most emasculated shit in this thread. Typical âPink frothy aidsâ fan.
Heres some of my favorites from different sub-genres.
You can never go wrong with this one.
A fucking classic. Chokes me up everytime.
Rocking alot of Darkthrone tonight. Any darkthrone fans here?
Edit
For funeralmoon who was asking for emasculated metal
Some hefty imperialistic shit
I donât listen to Leprosy as much as the other albums but Open Casket is ridiculous
Mandroid Echostar - The Kingdom and The Crown
Mandroid Echostar - The Kingdom and The Crown, Guitar Playthrough
Earlier in the thread I posted a terrible audio quality recording of the following classic without realising. I apologise.
Hereâs some more fucking Black Sabbath
