Today it's a band called Rishloo. I'd never heard of them until I saw them in the "related videos" section. They're a bit hard to describe, kind of like prog mixed with alternative with some other stuff. Anyway, I bet a lot of people here would really dig them.

Feathergun is fucking awesome. That is all.

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #2 on:** November 12, 2013, 08:34:00 PM »

Feathergun was the album I was listening to.

I suggest looking into:

Pendragon
Iluvatar
The Enid

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #4 on:** November 12, 2013, 09:21:12 PM »

Pendragon I've heard a bit of, and I really like them.

The others are new to me, I shall investigate and report back.

Unfortunately both bands are disbanded as far as I know, Iluvatar had like 2 or 3 albums, but in my opinion they are very strong. (Of course I'm a sucker for neo-prog) See "Late of Conscience" and "Your Darkest Hour"

The Enid is a bit harder to describe. Very artsy prog, generally very light. I think it's considered psychedelic too, which isn't surprising. See "Tripping the Light Fantastic"

Hold on, didn't you play something from The Enid in the tinychat once? I really enjoyed that one.

That would be Tripping the Light Fantastic, in fact. I myself haven't dug deep into their discography, bu I do enjoy what I have heard. See "The Demon King" and "Witch Hunt"

HOLY CRAP LOOK UP REVERBERATIONS RIGHT NOW

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 12, 2013, 10:02:52 PM »

Halfway through Iluvatar's Children right now. Will listen after.

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 13, 2013, 12:01:58 AM »

Checked out Reverberations. Pretty good, though I think I'd have to be in a certain mood to really enjoy it.

Today it's a group called Coastal Cities. Sort of an atmospheric rock type sound. Here's their video:

Our Region orchestra did this.

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 17, 2013, 11:34:44 PM »

That was quite enjoyable. Were you playing in the orchestra?

Lucien · « **Reply #14 on:** November 17, 2013, 11:43:28 PM »

Not in that one, but there were two orchestras playing that day. Here's something from another time that I was playing in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdjZ6aapYWU I'm the one next to the girl to her right at 0:50

Have you heard Leprous SN? They've released only three albums so far, of which Bilateral is probably the best.

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 03, 2013, 08:23:31 PM »

Forgot about this. I have heard exactly one Leprous song that I got for some InsideOut promotional thing while ago. The track I got was called The Cloak. I really like it, actually, but I haven't gotten around to checking out the rest of their material. I guess I should.

Today, I've been listening to Lana Del Rey's Born To Die and Persefone's Spiritual Migration. Odd mix, but they're both really excellent.

Onno · « **Reply #17 on:** December 04, 2013, 01:40:21 AM »

The Cloak is a bit of an unusual Leprous song though, the rest of them tends to be more avant-garde and a bit louder. I'd recommend their album Bilateral as a starting point; their third album Coal is really good but it's a lot darker and more serious than the other two.

Bit late on my part,

but thanks for the recommendations, I'll check 'em out soon.

On a different note, tonight I discovered a band called Steam Powered Giraffe. I'm not sure if they're well known or not, but check out this song. It's fantastic.

Today it's a guy called Jon Gomm. He plays guitar like it's a whole band, it's incredible.

Got two today. First is an awesome avant-garde metal group called Vulture Industries.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acZ_pm7R22Q

Second is a band called Menace, featuring Derek Roddy on drums.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRRk9bzih4M

Both of these are on the Seasons Of Mist label. I think I'm going to keep checking out their stuff, most of it has been great thus far.

Listen to Summer's End.

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 18, 2014, 02:20:16 PM »

I'm not usually into a lot of djenty stuff, but I've been really enjoying this band called Glass cloud lately.

Sacul · « **Reply #23 on:** April 19, 2014, 06:06:03 PM »

This guy, David Maxim Micic, does some of the most decent and creative djent. These songs are from his first EP, but his lastest album, Bilo 3.0 is my AOTY 2013.

I'm not Shadow Ninja, but my greatest current discovery is definitely Grave Digger. Love all the albums that I have - Heart of Darkness, The Grave Digger - and most of the other stuff that I have heard via YouTube.

My favourite track from them, for anyone interested: Grave Digger - The Grave Digger

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 17, 2015, 12:50:14 AM »

I think I found this group a while ago, but I guess I got distracted by other things and never posted anything about them.. Anyway, to rectify that, I give you the band múm! They're a sort of low-key kinda post-rock largely instrumental group, and they make some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. If you're interested, check 'em out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODWN-U4j92U

Landon Tewers. A fucking monster of a vocalist and a composer.

Here's a song from his band The Plot In You's latest record Happiness in Self Destruction (also my favorite record of 2015).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-WKU7nkP9M

Here's another that shows the range of the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPq3Y7fgFLY

And here's some of Landon's solo stuff:
1. a kind of spoken word type deal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M07JvSHlxkw
2. pretty heavy track, off a concept EP about a robot that tries to destroy the human race: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HApPCshP9q4
3. A bit of humor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPikwQc5q28

Check this dude out. This is one of the best discoveries I've made in a long time. edit: unless I'm in your roulette. Don't check it out, I'm gonna send it to you.
