Heavy prog is usually the more digestible form of prog metal Wink

I'll have to remember that, Andy, thanks for the advice!

I'll admit, I kind of ignorantly sometimes dismiss some of the local home-grown Aussie prog that's metal based - not because I don't think it's any good, just not something I personally want to listen to much of - but I think this Montresor album has a good balance of hard and prog elements, like I've mentioned before.

All instrumental seals the deal a little better too!

You might want to check out Pirate, Kettlespider, A Lonely Crowd, Karnivool, and Arcane, as they are all Aussie heavy prog bands Big smile

^All good. Xenograft as well, a personal fav of mine - although their newer material is even more impressive than their EP.

And hey Aussie-Bird-Brother! Thanks for the kind words and I'm happy you dug the album! Hope you enjoyed my note as well - at the time I didn't know who purchased the album and I chucked a few recommendations for other acts in there too.

Aaaand just because I can here's a live video of one of our new tracks, mainly in 13/8 with a few weirder permutations of 6 and 7 as well.

Hey, yes!! Thanks for the album, your kinds words and recommendations! It's no problem to drop a bit of cash for your CD!

I've been giving it a good couple of listens every day, gets better with every play. I'll put up a positive review in the next week or so!

You guys have a bright future, so onwards and upwards to even better things!

Hey Scott, it's a really decent album! I put up a review a little while back after thrashing the album for a few weeks. I bought the CD for $10, which came with an instant download anyway. Seriously, mere pocket change for a great new prog album!

Hopefully just the beginning for a new ongoing Aussie prog band!

No worries, Dunwich! I ripped a copy for the car and I've always got in on hand to dig out! I really love it!

Oh, and two Simpsons mentions in a row is definately working for me too - Everything's coming up Millhouse!

Hey Scott! Sorry for the delay but your album has been posted today. Hope you enjoy it!
 
Also, I just realised some of your archivers may have not seen this:
 
We've been known to expand our band in order to cover Zappa songs, and here's the best recorded example!

Hey!
 
As it's now a year ago the album was released, we're offering it for 60% worldwide until the 1st Jan. If you've not heard it, check it out on our bandcamp (http://montresor.bandcamp.com) with the download code "montresaurus".
 
Thanks for listening!
