Ever seen this? I'm sure it's related somehow...

Per your inquiry in our EXCELLENT DOOM METAL GROUP, RIGHT HERE ON MUSIC BANTER....

Check out the album 'Trouble', by the band Trouble. One of the pioneers of the genre, and their self-titled is easily their best. I'd love to know what you think of it. I think it's a pretty accessible doom album for someone starting out their exploration of the genre, not so trudging and their guitarist is a master. Plus... vocalist is very Halford-esque, something pretty unique in doom.

I don't know. Their self-titled is pretty fantastic.

Do you like Helloween? Their early work was a little too... thrash for my taste. But when Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I came out in '87, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a raw, speedy sound, and a new sheen of melody that really gives the songs a big boost. They've been compared to Blind Guardian, but I think Helloween has a far more prevalent and distinct sense of humor. In '88, Helloween released this: Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “I Want Out”, a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should! Because it's not just about the downsides of conformity, and the limits of society, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Tool - Lateralus

This album bored me.
This album lasts for 79 minutes, which is, approximately, half an hour too long.
I don't care if the excessive length is to "get enough space for all the art" or whatever, because it's not like I'm interested enough to pay attention to the message.
I think the whole album sounded pretty much the same, and not in a good way.
I don't get it.
I think prog metal really isn't something for me.
I'm rating it 2.5/5 because it's not utterly terrible, just boring.

2.5/5

Do not let Tool turn you off of prog metal!!!

'After', a solo album by Emperor's guitarist Ihsahn, will blow you out of the water, I'm sure of it. I demand a review and ratings.

I'll see what I can whip up. I also have yet to hear that Ayreon album...

Carpe Mortem · 04-13-2014, 09:24 AM

Put this on the line too! One of the best Ayreon albums. They're one of those bands where they have a lot of 'best' albums depending on your mood, this one seems to be the most accessible though. Also Mikael Anderfeldt of Opeth does guest vocals on a few songs.
