^ Great stuff indeed, their come back album is also excellent.
About Dreadnaught I've also been in touch with Bob and expressed my deepest appreciation to the band, he is such a nice guy I wish they had more exposure to their music.
Do you know their previous albums Musica En Flagrante or The American Standard??

oh certainly. They were a surprise and discovery of sorts for me. I suppose Raff knew the group before Progday... she always seems to know them before I do..that is why she has the fancy blog and can name drop much better than I can ... but since Progday I made it a point to get familiar with all they did.

I'm not that much into the whole "post-metal" scene, but I quite like Russian Circles' take on it as they've got a very well thought out angle to how they execute it. The entire "1980s heavy metal gone post-rock meets Soviet Futurism" vibe is such a cool signature style.

My fave thing about this band is unquestionably their drummer. Something like a technical cement-mixer. Soooo heavy yet without losing the groove.
I'm listening to some 80s live Genesis myself with Chester Thompson and Bill Bruford on board:

^Is that the remastered version that Iggy did with Bruce Dickinson?
I grew up with the original mix and still own my old copy, but I gotta say I never listen to it. Once you hear how Iggy originally wanted this album to sound, you never go back! It's a completely different album, and so much wilder and ruthless in it's expression.

This is apparently one of RC's less celebrated albums, focusing more on atmospherics and the occasional orchestration than their trademark heavy riffing but I still quite like it. Some of the guitar playing has a somewhat folky feel to it, just all distorted and electrified beyond shape.
EDIT: Apparently some people here could not see the original photo I posted.

Huh, had no idea! I thought most people liked Enter and Station the most, with Empros in third place. A few place that particular album number one, since it's by far their heaviest.
