For the Euro's who cant get it
![]() This was a comment I left at a friends Fb page (Vince Levalois of Prototype, who liked the track); "Man I'm hearing arguments already about DT. I like what I hear but its not anything new, been a fan since WDADU on "LP" and have defended them and back. As 2 people pointed out, Jordan's Key "plunking" and stop-go playing is becoming too uniform.
But, not that they sound anything like these bands; but Rush, Fates Warning and for a time Queensryche |

I agree. First impressions are a lot better than they were with "On the Backs of Angels". I still feel they sound a bit stagnated at this point though.

I know what you mean. A new DT album doesn't excite to the level that other bands do these days. I think they've reached the stage where they know what they're good at, so don't try to fix that which is not broken.
New Haken is sounding great so far.

Don't forget Tommy Karevik on vocals. Just found this new Norwegian band, Withem. Their debut album is due out in October. |

Turns out Frank Aresti won't be touring with Fates Warning this year (he's replaced by Mike Abdow). Kinda sucks, but still looking forward to the Toronto show in November.

So I am curious guys . . .
What do you think of this list? A few of us had some strong opinions on Progulus Internet Radio Group at Fb. The "Greeks" do know a thing or 2 about obscure Prog Metal, but could some of these be Too Obscure to have influenced many others, while some important bands and albums have been left out? . . . http://www.rocking.gr/articles/en/The-Absolute-Guide-To-Progressive-Metal/17150/#.UjLLYe9NelM.facebook Take a look and weigh-in on it ![]() |

Obviously, if Tommy had been announced at the time I made that post, I'd have mentioned him. ![]() The new Ayreon release has an MMA page here with the full line-up and track list etc: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/ayreon--the-theory-of-everything.aspx In other news, the new Haken video is bloody awesome. |

Subsignal rose from the ashes of Sieges Even; it's a band of Arno Menses (vocals and keys) and Markus Steffen (guitar) of Sieges Even. They sound like later day Sieges even (which is awesome to me, a shame Sieges Even disbanded). They will release their third album. If you like Sieges Even, give them a chance. Their debut album is great - Beautiful & Monstruous (2009) as is their second album - Touchstones (2011). They will be hard to top or even come on the same level. We'll see what they will come up with soon.
