I'm really sick of this new wave of "progressive" metal bands. Stop your dweedilly-fucking-wee-wee wanking and make music that has some substance to it. Clones of clones of clones... you all literally sound the same. But hey, the kidz like the Meshuggah moshes with the weedle-dweedle-deedlely-doo tap-a-lap-a-ding-dong over the top, so just keep churning out the assembly-line metal brah.

*takes deep breath* End rant.

Inspired by a morning spent trying to find some new metal that isn't fucking queer.

One of the reasons I have started to move deeper into more bands that have a style that could never become mainstream (among metalheads that is)

Folk and symphonic metal turned their backs on me as we now have the jig/pirate metal era and the we-need-moar-stringed-instruments-metal era.

Seems to be a growing problem as of late. These bands are getting recognized and gaining popularity and I just don't understand it.

Sorry.

Most metal is evolving in a direction which has me face palming every time I think about it.

I'll continue with my meshuggah-downs and weedly weedlys. But thanks anyway.

You won't find many innovative bands these days. This is the era of the cover band.

if it was made by a band who didn't exist before 99 then i don't give a shit.

Ozzy has a clip of a new song in a CSI commercial. it's gotta be the most metal thing evaaaar.

yeeeeeeaaaaahh

he's gonna do a guest appearance on the show, his character will be named "O" and he's gonna take his glasses off when he over-acts.

pretty much every band on that shitty label "sumerian" is like that. sumerian is faggot.
meshuggah is not faggot though, very innovative.

I don't understand why a lot of these bands label themselves progressive either.

progressive = liberal.

haha. i don't think it's the bands themselves using these terms per se, but the words "technical" and "progressive" get thrown around like hot cakes in this scene it seems regardless of whether or not they're actually applicable.

Stray From the Path is good, and I don't think even they consider themselves progressive or technical, at least i hope they don't. other than that the rest of the label is shit among shit.

They do it because Wren wants "more swirly guitars".

That's true. It just got swallowed up by all the mediocre metal around it.

there was a post on here that mentioned some stupid band having some guy play DEER ANTLERS with strings on their album to get a troo heathen sound or some bullshit. I can't remember what thread it was in, I lol'd heavily that day though

It was most likely Blood of the Black Owl, unadulterated garbage.

This whole influx of cookie-cutter prog wankery is the reason I don't even play solos in all my songs anymore.
