Hacktivist - Cold Shoulders

First minute is kinda messy in my opinion but it's definitely an interesting listen in my opinion.

Off Topic / Modern Progressive Metal discussion (WARNING: Djent tone heavy)

« on: February 03, 2012, 10:36:54 PM »

So basically I've been getting into quite a bit of progressive metal and was inspired by The Corporation's topic a little while back to make another one right now

Animals as Leaders

These guys are amazing, they have a very nice blend of progressive jazz metal along with some Djent elements. The use of complicated and very dynamic time scales along with all the 8 string guitars you could want makes for great instrumental songs, both heavy and calm. I haven't even listened to all of their songs yet I would say they are currently one of my favorite bands as of now.

Some of my favorites by them
On Impulse
Tempting Time
Do Not Go Gently
CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations)
Weightless
Earth Departure

Periphery isn't quite as innovative as AAL, but they are still quite good to listen to, especially if you want more heavier stuff. They have a vocalist who screams every so often, but they also have released the instrumental parts of pretty much of all of their songs too. I haven't listened to them as much as AAL, but I recommend them to.

Some good songs by them (instrumental)
Insomnia
All New Materials

There's also a few others that are good such as TessarcT, and a few others I can't name right now cause I'm tired. Also, if you want to try a band with a Djent tone and rapping, try Hactivist.

Our Declaration of Independence says that we have the right to life. If there is something that can be done to save someone's life in this country, our government is obligated to do it.

I'm pretty sure it means that we do not kill them or let others kill them, not be forced to protect them from every cause of death there is.

Certain genres are helped by lyrics. Though, there are a lot of songs on the radio which do have singers I wish were gone.

Music with out lyrics sucks

We still have enough of we wouldn't be here. Eventually the amount of people will stop increasing because we are consuming as much as we are producing and can't produce anymore. The only resource we are running out of are nonrenewable ones which are mostly used for fuel and will eventually be obsolete.
