Cool Album Cover Of The Moment

on Monday, July 2, 2012
The Doomsayer's Call by Coldworker.
Extreme Scandinavian metal collective Coldworker were built from the ground up by Anders Jakobsson, formerly of the legendary Swedish grindcore outfit Nasum. Razor-tight with bursts of melodic guitar work, the band's impossibly brutal debut, Contaminated Void, was released in November of 2006 on Relapse Records.

This album cover is awesome. Kind of like BioShock Infinite meets the film A.I. meets Lady Mechanika.

Progressive Metal And The Emptiness That Was Dream Theater Left

on Monday, March 5, 2012
Ever since Dream Theater disbanded, yes disbanded, because the band no longer exists, I've been looking for some new, fresh, innovative progressive metal.

I've been listening to the regulars:

Animals as Leaders
Citriniti
Andromeda
Counter - World Experience
Scale The Summit
Kong

And the oldies but goodies from Buckethead to Transatlantic from  Behold...The Arctopus to Redemption (currently the best metal band playing right now imo).

But I'm longing for more.  Dream Theater leaves a big, gaping hole.  They had such an ennormous sound that any one or three bands can't fill it back up again.

Do you have any suggestions?
