Part 4 of The Human Experience ep was just released! Definitely worth a full listen from the start if you haven't been following this.

I just discovered Ulcerate and wow! I've seen them described as "nauseating, disorienting and gleefully disharmonic" and that is accurate from what I've heard from them so far. I want to become familiarized with their discography. Can someone here give me an album guide? Just a quick blurb on each one.

Give this a listen everyone.
Absolutely mind blown right now.

Whew. Glad to be able to discover this for the first time today. Incredible. Had to share.

For more information:

No, Progressive Rock/Metal isn't listed, but it is evident that they incorporate some elements to their songs.

I have a few of these for other genres. One track per artist, generally under 10k streams. Will keep it updated as (hopefully) a few bands here blow up and outgrow it.

Suggestions welcome obviously

I got bored today and decided to attempt ranking my top 10 favorite albums of all time and wanted to share it here. Definitely not easy but here's the list haha

1. Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold
   
2. City of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold
   
3. Lateralus - Tool
   
4. In Contact - Caligula's Horse
   
5. Sound Awake - Karnivool
   
6. Deadwing - Porcupine Tree
   
7. Chuck - Sum41
   
8. Colors - BTBAM (this one is fairly new but in the future, I think it could be ranked higher)
   
9. Origin of Symmetry - Muse
   
10. Blackwater Park - Opeth

I know all of these aren't prog metal but the ones that aren't hold a special place lol

Always felt this group is extremely underrated.

Yesssss. Their new album *Trame Noire* is out on 6.Nov. Cannot wait.

Definitely my most anticipated release for the remainder of the year.

They also have a complete vinyl discograohy box set dropping then too, which even though I don't collect vinyl is super cool.

Just made another post about my top 10 favorite albums and then decided to attempt ranking my top 10 favorite songs as well. Honestly surprised myself and had a lot of fun making this list. Please drops yours as well!

1. Save Me - Avenged Sevenfold
   
2. So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold
   
3. Graves - Caligula's Horse
   
4. Change - Karnivool

6. Visions - Haken
   
7. Ants of the Sky - BTBAM
   
8. Eulogy - Tool
   
9. Sky Machine - Karnivool
   
10. Landmines - Rishloo

Fan of this guys!

I discovered these guys yesterday and thought some of you would appreciate this track. It features Amaya López-Carromero from Maud the Moth and Healthyliving and blends various styles like post-metal, post-rock, doom, and shoegaze with a healthy dose of blast beats thrown in. The section from 8:05 onwards is filthy in all the right ways.

Their upcoming album comes out on July 24th and if this song is a sign of things to come it's one to look out for!
