I said this in the prog nation at sea thread when pain of salvation was announced, but I don't understand why gildenlow is agreeing to these type of prog events if he is trying to distance the band from the progressive metal genre (he has said this in a road salt video interview last year, which I linked in the prog nation thread a month ago). It comes across as purely a money grab, which is a major turn off as a fan. If he is going to keep doing these events, he shouldnt make comments about not liking the band classified as prog metal anymore, in my opinion. I posted my complaint about this matter on the bands facebook page last month and daniel directly responded and brushed it off with a sarcastic comment. But this topic a legit beef as a fan who loves the genre, if you ask me. Don't use the genre only when its convenient for you. Either embrace the genre, or don't. End rant.
