Just discovered Shadow Gallery and also a band called Redemption. Both prog metal. Both have just released new albums.

Loving Nile's new album....

+1

Permitting Noble Dead.... has to be my favourite on the album. Although I do like Kafir with reportedly 280bpm drumming

Remember being blown away by this album back in the early 90's, still sounds fantastic.

Cool song, I think Voivod have a song in Guitar hero 2 - alteast I think thats where Ive heard them.

That song reminds me very much of megadeth tbh (which is a good thing).

A metal fan complaining about the noise? Oh the Irony! Yes that is how it is meant to sound.

Well congrats mate, you've actually gotten me into Voivod it seems. I downloaded that album as the art and title looked interesting - I've listened to it about 3 times now and I love it. Fix my heart is an awesome song

You have epic taste in music sir

'tis a great album as is much of their stuff, i love the fact they can go from thrash to some form of jazz in the same song!

ShakenNstirred · 10 Jan 2010 at 20:04

Heard AX7's drummer died over the xmas period another 'natural causes' at age 28 - same as my age. I like Ax7, Atreyu, Bullet for My Valentine, Metallica can anyone recommended bands similar to these dont mind music being heavy coz prefer that but not just constant screaming over verses n lyrics?
