Andiamo in giro di notte e ci consumiamo nel fuoco

Homonculus Res

New Canterbury jazz style prog from Italy
 
Mysterizer

Dimitriy Pavlovskiy's Powersquad

Russian power metal prog. My first listen - first song much more Malmsteenisque rock with a goblin singing with a weak demon doing back up vocals not that that is a bad thing....They certainly can play fast
 
Mysterizer

Dimitriy Pavlovskiy's Powersquad

A little over half way through. Okay they can certainly play fast.
Some syncopation and time/key sig changes but they rely mostly on their speed and a lot of that is 'been there Symphony X done it better.'

The singer totally reminds me of the narrator voice in Utopia's Ra album but not entirely in a good way. If it wasn't for the singer I could see listening to this when I am in a shredding mood.
 
The Gereg

The Hu

now this is interesting.
My son recommended this. He is a huge Dream Theater, Nightwish and Avenged Sevenfold nut. This is Mongolian heavy metal. It's good but there is a lot of Mongolian folk in their sound not so much metal to me. They sing in their native tongue, use unique instruments and throat sing. I like them.

Whoah - that's ... different! Very cool - thanks. I'm not sure how often I'd listen to it, but will be a refreshing break from time to time.

$13 for the CD here : https://thehu.tmstor.es/cart/product.php?id=46803 ... Is it available as a download anywhere?
 
For the past month, I've been on a huge Wire kick. All four of their first albums still resonate with me after all these years. Pink Flag, Chairs Missing, 154, and The Ideal Copy.

C.,

The least I can do for the good music you nudged me towards.

A propos: Do you know anything about these guys?
Wilderun - Oh Resolution!
https://youtu.be/q-xEIOXsl4w

I get huge Enslaved vibes from that song, also a bit of "what happens if Devin Townsend and Ayreon had a baby". All in all, I'm intrigued.

I now have this, and their previous album - and love 'em! Many thanks for the recommendation.

This is one of my favorite sub-genres of metal : best described as "everything including the kitchen sink" :) I really enjoy albums that effortlessly swing from dark metal to acoustic ballads to bombastic prog-metal etc. ... as this one does.
