  1. Hello everybody, I hope you guys are doing well. This is Bugra Fatih Demiryurek(BFD as musician name). I wanted to share you my brand new single "Prødigy" produced by MO Metal Productions featuring James Phillips, Brian Gosling(Grimzee) from As The Structure Fails, Thomas Rech from Matahari. We conducted a big international project having 5 talented and well-known people on social media all around the world and I truly believe that this project has a huge potential to be loved by the heavy music fans. All the instruments and the parts in the song were written by me except the lyrics and last 2 guest guitar solos. I was lucky enough to get this song heard by my idols and the feedback from them, musicians, instrument players got me more hyped to believe that this song really has a good potential. I would appreciate if you guys also share it or put it in your playlists so that we can have the stream that this song deserves! Below is the Spotify link to the new single: Below is the Apple Music link to the new single: https://music.apple.com/us/album/prødigy-feat-james-phillips-grimzee-thomas-rech/1713086083?i=1713086084 Below is the Youtube Music link to the new single: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=EFiolQX5XkY&feature=shared My Socials Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/3bK8qvQnYBrYh8XGRfYk7P?si=QVVcGmHMSISxgJTFBiKl2w Youtube Music:https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCZe89RKDdyQVHNS-rLTwjrw?feature=shared Instagram:www.instagram.com/bfdemiryurek/ Youtube:www.youtube.com/@bugrafatihdemiryurek8687 Tiktok:www.tiktok.com/@bfdemiryurek42?_t=8gjETWZUuyT&_r=1 Soundcloud:@user-994482758 Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you!

  4. Hello! I'm currently looking for a talented singer (male or female) that wishes to join my band: "Volixe". I'm near the release of the demo/EP. I just need a cool person that has nice vocals to finish it. I'm from Chile so this would most likely be an online collaboration. Every song for the demo/EP is already composed by me and a couple of lyrics are already done too. The band has thrash, death, black, progressive metal and even classical music influences. It's somewhat experimental. You can listen to these tracks to kind of know the style I'm going for: Requirements: - Advanced or native english. - Must like to party - Being friendly - Having a decent mic and interface Optional: - Being able to do growls/screams - Having a bullet belt - Party listening to nuclear assault - Chugging beer in less than 3 seconds If interested or want to listen more stuff that we've done or want to know more about me or the band PM me through here or you can send us a mail to: [email protected]
  5. Hello, I am singer, songwriter and electronic music producer looking for an online band or producer, who makes progressive metal!
  6. Hey Everyone, This is a small part of a four year plan, so thanks for being here to enjoy it. We're a couple of guys that enjoy our metal, but felt something was lacking so we decided to put our hats in the ring. Everything we showcase is produced in-house. We've put a lot of time and effort into getting things set up and we're learning things like animation as we go, it's a huge learning curve, so we really appreciate you checking us out. Hopefully you can share in some of the fun we've had creating this along the way. It's fair to say we're not going to be releasing short 2-3min tracks, we're aiming to inject some anthemics back into metal so if that's not for you, we totally understand. However, if you're a fan of all things epic, heavy, progressive, groovy and sometimes downright filthy, then we feel we've definitely got you covered! The schedule is ideally releasing a fresh new monster track, every two months with updates and behind the scenes as we go. It's also worth mentioning we totally know our limits, and with that in mind if you think you can help us out in any way at all then please get in contact we'd love to hear from you! Really, please get in contact, whether you can offer rendering help, ideas for videos, feature solos on music, promotion, whatever you can think of we'd love to collaborate with other like minded people! Please like, comment, share, and subscribe to keep that finger on the pulse. -Stay Focused- W4RM3CH4N1C & REVENANT Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BeseechTheScars Twitter: https://twitter.com/BeseechTheScars Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BeseechTheScars Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/beseech-the-scars Bandcamp https://beseechthescars1.bandcamp.com/
  7. Hey everyone I've written an album's worth of instrumental material (think Periphery, Architects, Northlane, that kind of stuff) and I'm looking for vocalists to do some guest spots on the songs to finish them off. If anyone's interested, drop me a message.I like to think the music is pretty good!I'm not ever intending to make a career out of it, this is purely a passion project, but if you're looking for exposure this is a good way of getting your vocals on an original track to showcase your talents for auditions etc!Here's a few songs from the project, there are another 7 on top of this though:https://soundcloud.com/user-925000578/modern-guilt-2020-30https://soundcloud.com/user-925000578/never-enough-1https://soundcloud.com/user-925000578/abyss-2020/s-7nqufAj0dPJ
  8. Good afternoon! We are a symphonic metal band DemUnillusions. We are from a very distant northern city of Russia. The city of Severomorsk. We create our own music and try to show it to the world, to say that we are here. Perhaps you can watch, and most importantly, listen. You might like it. Perhaps you can listen to our material and share your opinion, tell someone about us who might like it. We really want to move on, but there is no metal industry in our country. And we just ask for all possible help from everyone who loves this kind of music. You can listen to us in all our resources - we really need support to move on. Perhaps with your help, bit by bit, we can take the next step. The most important links are below. Perhaps someone will help us on Patreon, someone will just join us on Facebook... We are here. And we continue to write symphonies and metal. Thank you for your attention!)

  9. Hi Metal Fans all over the world! I want to introduce you a 'new' band: STURP I write 'new' between quotes because the band has been around for some time, but may not be known to you yet. I would like to change that and I am curious if you can handle this new music! STURP is instrumental music: Guitar, banjo and drums. Because of the frequent use of distorted guitars one could call the genre ‘Instrumetal’. STURP is from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. STURP is a solo-project STURP has released 3 full-length albums: – Rapid Germination (2014) – Fumigation of Grain (2016) – Extensive Alpine Terrain (2019) All three albums got strong underground press, read over here: https://sturp.com/en/reviews/ STURP is also performing live, as a duo: Richard on drums and Daan on strings More info at www.sturp.com See also a nice little teaser: Enjoy it!
  10. Adversus from London, Ontario. FUCKING AMAZING live band saw them with Born of Osiris and Oceano not too long ago. https://open.spotify.com/album/4u63iSOzrwNFCljbMpIRYF
  11. Hey my name is Michael, I’m a 22 year old screaming/singing vocalist searching for band members to play metalcore with me and my guitarist friend. I’m looking to do online stuff over Discord, FaceTime, and on my phone with sending each other videos and voice recordings. So hit me up, my phone number is +16039139752 and my email is [email protected] are into bands like - Atreyu, Counterparts, Johnny Booth, Killswitch Engage, Misery Signals, The Ghost Inside, and Trivium
  12. Despite not exploring Djent or Progressive/Post-metal before listening to this album, it is one of the bands that piqued my interest in this type of music. I'm very aware that Djent is, by some, considered a saturated and simple, almost laughable category of the metal scene, simply defined by low tunings and very mechanical start/stop instrumental patterns. This collides with my view on the genre since I consider that all genres have a more "mainstream" shell that helps the listener get an idea of what type of music they are listening to, Februus is so much more than what this shell could ever be described as and it is where Uneven Structure brought something new to the genre with their first full album release back in 2011. By trying to summarize the album very shortly, words such as Melancholy, Emptiness but also Fulfillment comes to mind. Almost all tracks of the album are presented with some beautiful ambiance, while still keeping grit of the 7 stringed guitars and heavily written instruments apparent and in focus. So what is this album, then? It may at first glance seem rather mundane and generic to the genre, but I would consider Februus a concept album that appeals to many different tastes. The vocals are a combination of low aggressive growls and beautiful, powerful cleans. The drums are complex but never fail to induce headbanging. The guitars are low tuned, playing chugging polyrhythmic Meshuggah-like parts together with complementing chords and ambiance to keep the riffs interesting. And lastly, the recorded bass does exactly what it is supposed to do, it fills out the musical space tying it all together. Each track of the album tells a different story, has a unique feeling to it and showers the listener in emotions. The album is built up in a way that encourages the listener to turn shuffle off, and just flow with the album from start to finish. More quiet and calm instrumental sections give the listener some breathing room between the heavier parts, and an instrumental "repetitive" track (done right) finishes the album off, leaving you with that sense of fulfillment after a rollercoaster of emotions. Uneven Structure do not write polyrhythmic music for the sake of it, it becomes apparent by listening to this album. The unnatural feeling of the "not 4/4" riffs contributes to the mood of the tracks, and never feels out of place. Although not all tracks are truly polyrhythmic, most of them have a different feeling than what "normal" 4/4 gives which keeps the entire album fresh and promotes itself to be listened to many times over. Small details in the instrumental parts make each listen unique, as you discover an additional guitar track that you didn't register on the first run-through of the album. To this day it is still one of my favorite albums of all time. Whenever I listen to this album, I can close my eyes on my bed and just disappear into the world of Februus, completely shutting out reality. The immersion of this album never ceases to pull me away to a different place and it becomes very apparent that Uneven Structure knows how to write appealing music that stands on its own. Februus will always be considered a masterpiece by me, because it is that good. FIMPEN This has been my first attempt at a review ever, and my goal is simply to share my music library with people and hopefully lead someone towards finding great music. Constructive criticism is encouraged. Thank you for reading.
  13. How good were these 3 albums when they first came out? For me they changed the meaning of progressive metal, but which one is best? I know they are completely different so comparisons are hard, but they came out in roughly the same period and are top 3 progressive albums of the decade (IMO). My favourite is Masstadens, it's so unique I can't get over it and the production is absolutely mental. Such a good album.
  14. GAIA are a progressive metal band from Brighton, UK and their debut EP release brings something out of the ordinary to the progressive metal scene. More succinct than standard progressive metal, GAIA take groove to new heights and bring about a musical masterpiece that combines sweet melodic phrasing and vibrant riffing with exceptional vocals. This EP will cause headbanging and severe satisfaction to the listener. The release for this EP is the 10th January 2020. I recommend checking this one out. The single "Words" is out now: Purchase EP from 10/01/2020 here: https://distrokid.com/live/?albumuuid=09C14A80-C8E2-4603-AC0287BD9B06A9E4&store=iTunes&ref=live_fb_iTunes_09C14A80-C8E2-4603-AC0287BD9B06A9E4&fbclid=IwAR259mGcC22ZGWinXhfq8IpoQ_nFYqmeSXDNwOLiyuhbb9Wds0yR7dcwHwU Enjoy!

  16. I was wondering for longtime metal fans to tell me which bands are completely awful live. I've heard of a couple, like Mastodon and Nile, but what do you guys think?
  17. Please check out/let me know what you think. This is a Lovecraftian-inspired Progressive Death Metal Track that I'm looking for a place to share it with that will truly give quality feedback and comments. Thanks for checking it out!
  18. Rock and metal music is all about the energy, we all know that on this forum. I want to offer any musicians on here a damn near free deal for getting their music mixed.

There is no catch, I do business through a freelance site and I'm building a portfolio and need more musicians to work with, especially in this genre. Prices: Full Mix + Guitar/bass reamp + Sample reinforcement (5$) I can work with anything from a 2 track acoustic song to a 70 track metal mix Mixing includes (but is not limited to): Proper leveling for each instrument or vocal line Automation Autotune (if desired for some odd reason) Use of professional grade plugins to bring your song energy - Waves, Fabfilter, etc Post-production effects Reamping of guitars or bass (custom tones) Drum sample reinforcement (or replacement) My preferences: Tracks that were not clipping when recorded (Trust me, its for the best) Reference for generally what sound you want In tune guitars/bass Tracks played in the correct tempo The best source sound you could of gotten Understand that without reamping or sample replacement I am limited to the source sound that you provide. The better your source sound/performance = the better results of your song. I can work with midi drums/bass/synths as well! I have a wide range of inspiration, and know how to work with any given genre of metal or rock. Anything from Judas Priest , to Led Zeppelin to The Dillinger Escape Plan to At The Gates to Cannibal corpse, I want to share the vision of your art. Contact + Samples:
  19. Hello all! I'm new to this site, and I hope to discover lots of great music here and have many interesting discussion!

So, without further adieu, I present to you an Undefined original: Polaris. (Footnote: all art, productions, compositions, and performances are arranged and recorded by myself unless otherwise noted.) Enjoy!! --Ryan s

  22. Hi Everyone, For any of you who are fans of progressive metal I would like to invite you to check out Dyed in Grey. Dyed in Grey originally had a vocalist who performed a mixture of harsh and clean vocals but have since moved on as an instrumental act. Here is a link to check out our latest album "Anguish and Ardor", please let me know what you think. Anguish and Ardor:
  23. After two singles – 2014’s poppy “inner Enemy” and the somewhat more straight-laced “The Promise” in 2016 – Swedish progressive metal maestros Seventh Wonder have recently announced their new album “Tiara”. The release is being mixed by Oyvind Larsen, the man responsible for mixing on the already-mentioned singles. The album has undergone mastering by Jens Bogren at Fascination Studios. Bogren has previously worked with other progressive metal stalwarts such as James Labrie, Katatonia, Opeth and Symphony X. ( Frontiers Records will oversee the worldwide release of the 13-track concept album, including as a double LP. The band used the following lyrics in their promotion: “’We've watched you since the dawn of time, with every moment gone by. A million suns fade and die, this is the end?’ Beware, for they're coming..!” These are presumably an allusion to alien forces, given the cosmic imagery. The precedent for a concept album about exists in the band’s widely-lauded “Mercy Falls”, and more within melodic progressive metal more generally, perhaps most notably in Evergrey’s “In Search of Truth”, which also concerned aliens and isolation. Musically it’s very much in keeping with the band’s tradition. From the promo, the work sounds rather more like “Mercy Falls” than the preceding “The Great Escape”. It’s less melodic (of course this should be taken with a grain of salt given the general character of their oeuvre) but slightly darker than their previous work. From the musicianship I trust this will work; Anubis Gate attempted this in 2017 and failed, as did Adagio who despite employing the preeminent “dark prog” master Kelly Carpenter (Beyond Twilight, Darkology, Epysode, Outworld, Zierler) dropped their neoclassical edge and therefore their unique appeal. If anything it sounds like SW might be making the opposite ‘mistake’, but their style is developed enough that for them churning out the same stuff would be at least to my ears an entirely acceptable route. The tracklist is unknown, but Seventh Wonder’s promo video can be found here:
  24. On July 27, 2018, Redemption released their seventh full-length album, Long Night’s Journey Into Day. The release was mastered by Jacob Hansen, who has also worked with Amaranthe, Doro, Primal Fear and Volbeat. It is the first album to feature Evergrey vocalist Tom Englund on vocals, replacing longtime frontman Ray Alder, also of progressive metal institution Fates Warning. Englund’s highly emotional, husky vocal style could lend a rougher edge to Redemption’s simultaneously melodramatic and contemplative approach. It is also worth pointing out that in the band’s new promo shoot (https://www.redemptionweb.com/) he looks quite a lot like the 30-year-old Boomer (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/30-year-old-boomer). It’s a good choice, however, considering that Evergrey and Redemption are strongly reliant on their vocalists to define their sound. The Art of Loss was the band’s most eclectic effort, but Alder’s singing provided the basic foundation that defined it as a Redemption album. Englund could be better off in Redemption, given that Evergrey have been meandering for the last couple releases while the former band have been musically top-notch for most of their oeuvre. Chris Poland, formerly of Megadeth, returns for this album, having appeared on The Art of Loss for a very noticeable shred outing on the title track. He will be joined by Italian guitar veteran Simone Mularoni, of Empyrios and the estimable prog-power heavyweights DGM. Also, after an extensive coma after a 2014 aneurysm (https://www.facebook.com/Bernie-Versailles-379611832240834/), the band’s longtime lead guitarist Bernie Versailles returns to the lineup. The title Long Night’s Journey Into Day is (according to the label, Metal Blade: https://www.metalblade.com/redemption/) an inversion of Long Day’s Journey Into Night, the title of a play by Eugene O’Neill concerning a dysfunctional family being destroyed by addiction. (Interestingly, the album title itself is also the title of a movie about life under apartheid, as revealed during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In other words, the most South African documentary imaginable.) The album itself sees more varied lyrical content. The video for “Someone Else’s Problem” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQKHm_l-vcc) sees alternating shots of the band playing out in a very Bonneville Salt Flats-looking area, and of a woman luxuriating amongst various high-end items seething with unsubstantiated ennui and vindictiveness. Hilariously, like the divergent plot points in an episode of The Good Guys, the woman drives up to where the band are playing and contemptuously chucks a presumably very pricy set of pumps out the window at their feet. The band, consummate prog heads as they are, ignore this amusing display of human behavior completely and keep playing. It’s hard to tell exactly who is going to be someone else’s problem. It seems like it’s the woman, as the guy in this interaction is totally absent and the band seem to be slightly on the receiving end of this annoyance. Englund was added in the hope of finding a replacement for Alder who could address the same themes with the right tone. The press release notes both bands cover the human condition – though it should be said that Evergrey often takes on a pessimistic approach. Nonetheless, Englund is best when he can exercise the full range of his voice, which a Redemption album certainly would permit. Long Night’s Journey into Day tracklist 1. Eyes You Dare Not Meet in Dreams 2. Someone Else’s Problem 3. The Echo Chamber 4. Impermanent 5. Indulge in Color 6. Little Men 7. And Yet 8. The Last of Me 9. New Year’s Day 10.
