Yesterday I bought an interesting album: Noekk - The Water Sprite It's their debut album and came out about 5 months ago. It's a sort of "Symphonic Dark Metal" album, but the Metal influences are quite "civilised", not agressive at all. It is a combination of 70s retro symphonic prog like Wobbler, Dark Metal and Avant-Garde. They have three 2 minute samples on their website: http://www.prophecy.cd/noekk - http://www.prophecy.cd/noekk The samples are quite representative ... discuss! ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

Very interesting Mike, nice find. Id certanly like to hear The Fiery Flower all the way through after listening to that taster but the first song i found the vocals a bit anoying. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

The vocals annoyed me a bit at first listen, but now, after the second spin, I've already gotten used to them. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

It was mainly the opening few seconds of that sample were the vocals annoyed me, to be honest they were pretty average after that. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

| Oh my god! And it's both guys from Empyrium! This can't not be amazing! Especially if it's more prog, like the site suggests..? |

Hmm... it's not much like Empyrium at all, it seems  . Still decent, though.
I've added Empyrium to Mike's blog - those into metal should listen to the first two albums (listed last on the page), and those... not, the other two. I think Where at Night the Wood Grouse Plays was recorded completely without electric instruments or drums 
EDIT: it seems only Weiland will play - a good album, but don't expect metal if you listen
