Conspiracy of Silence! I never knew they were a Prog band. Always assumed they were hard core. Any good?

Re: Utterlessly Pointless discussion about Prog
Not crossed my radar yet. Might get round to checking them out.
Vids on Youtube is usually a good place to start, if you like what you hear - dig deeper.

Re: Utterlessly Pointless discussion about Prog
OK reading this thread I realised how much I do NOT know about Prog
is there a internet radio playing a good selection or YT channel maybe?
or a Spotify or Tidal playlist??

Re: Utterlessly Pointless discussion about Prog
The current prog scene is, perhaps, best reflected by the artists on K-scope records. Check out their site for info and video/sound clips, they have a YouTube channel as well.

Re: Utterlessly Pointless discussion about Prog
Speaking of K-scope acts, the new Tesseract album 'Sonder' dropped into the letterbox this week. Their last 2 discs 'Altered States' and 'Polaris' just blew me away with the combination of massive riff-walls and delicate ambient atmospheres - so expectations were high.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJKsmaGtrjo
Tesseract call their music 'ambient metal' and are seen as part of the 'Djent' movement (named after the sound of palm-muted powerchords, or something. Slinger, help!).
Anyway, the new album is less immediately accessible and I suspect it will take a few listens to get into. The metal-mania is there along with occasional 'scream' vocals (which I intensely dislike) despite the fact that the vocalist can sing rather well. And the smooth and intricate quiet passages of multi-layered guitars which I would like to hear more of.
For the adventurous audiophile there is a 2-CD version available with a 'binaural' remix disc of the whole album, especially created for maximum enjoyment on headphones. It does have some very nice in-your-head spacy effects. Great fun.
Try the other albums first, but Tesseract are growing and maturing.

Re: Utterlessly Pointless discussion about Prog
f you wish to become a ProgMasterman like unto myself, pray for strength to endure. It is a long demanding process. You must be ready to meet the test and bravely face what is demanded of you.
If your heart is pure, prog will win out.
