I really like it! I think it is definitely one of their best albums actually. I've discovered them fairly recently (about 2 months ago), and I already have purchased their entire discography.

We are talking about bands that use the standard song structure, with extended instrumental sections, rigid and repetitive riffs (mostly quite short and single-phrase - no actual development or progression per se, just a large number of small ideas strung togther and put through various time signatures to make it sound complicated as opposed to truly compositionally complex) - and that includes the quiet bits, which typically waste the opportunity to compose something interesting, and simply break down a short (and normally exceedingly simple) riff into picked chords, with solos that are normally pyrotechnical displays of various techniques, improvisation, or a combination of the two, rather than true compositions (something that stands out a mile to a composition student).


I think this is a good point: song form is what defines progressive rock, and song form + melodic shape and the interplay between the two is what defines classical, which even more than jazz is the influence on progressive rock.

http://www.anus.com/metal/hall/index.php/topic,7250.0.html

Two useful links: the first is an essay on metal's "narrative" compositional form, the second a description of melody in classical and metal.

With that light in mind, I'd call these the most progressive metal releases:

Gorguts - Obscura
Demilich - Nespithe
Incantation - Onward to Golgotha
Burzum - Burzum/Aske

There's also a wide range of stuff derived from light prog (think: Rush) like Voivod, Supuration, and Obliveon.

DEATH METAL ftw

I agree, but I think The Great Misdirect is excellent.

So it's part tech/extreme and part amazing heavy fusion, but the new Lye By Mistake is killer!  Fea Jur is probably tied for best instrumental heavy fusion album of the year (for me).  The other being the Exivious s/t.

I just wanted to drop by and say I'm officially addicted to the new Between The Buried And Me album. I've listened to it at least 4 times so far todayLOL

Losing the vocalist was no loss at all.  In fact, they are better off without him.... more room for instrumental muscle-flexing and showmanship... and complexity.

I think so too.They went from being a math core band to something else entirely,they definitely stepped it up a level.
 
Seems like me and you are the only people into them.Cry
