Hey folks. Just finished a tab of the song "Superior" from Extol's incredible "Burial" album. Figured I'd share it here as I'm sure there's a few around here that know of Extol's greatness. If you want a .gp8 version of the file, just let me know.

From the a new album release -

Over a decade in the works and two since Time I, it is here. I've only had one listen so far, and not really enough to offer an actual review, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I think I'm going to be coming back to the guitar solo two third of the way through Storm quite a bit.

This album came out yesterday! All the music is written by Arjen Lucassen so it should be of interest to Ayreon fans.

The Haken thread I posted a while ago generated a bit of activity so I might try it again from time to time. Let's rank Leprous' albums in anticipation for Melodies of Atonement. Feel free to include their two demos if you know them (I do not)!

1. Coal
2. The Congregation
3. Bilateral
4. Pitfalls
5. Malina
6. Aphelion
7. Tall Poppy Syndrome

Holocene is a slow burn but it's really been clicking for me after seeing these guys live. This was perhaps the highlight of the whole show.

In honour of their upcoming Australian tour (and to get some activity here lol), how would everyone rank Haken's discography?

I love all their stuff, but for me...

1. Affinity
2. The Mountain
3. Aquarius
4. Vector
5. Fauna
6. Visions
7. Enter the 5th Dimension
8. Restoration
9. Virus (still a fan, just not as much as the rest)

This is a phenomenal (but short) album, has anyone got other equivalent they're sleeping on?

It's very proggy, which I love, but also very heavy. Super-tasteful use (sparse!) of blast beats, etc

Picked up a second hand copy of the album Sorceress. Reeeaaallly not a fan of the prog rock version of the band, (But like Damnation so...) I'm giving it a thrash.

Only one week until Charcoal Grace is released, already looking like an early AOTY to me!

Third single from Of The Last Human Being. So glad these guys are back!

The whole album is fantastic. But this is the best song IMO

This is a cover of the Pink Floyd track written by original guitarist / vocalist Syd Barrett.

Another song released from the album that disappeared for over a decade!

With then-new (and current) lead singer Ray Alder, 1988.

a proggy song from a not-so-proggy band

Their first new music in 17 years!

Still possibly my favourite album to come out this year, and they're not even a typical prog metal band.
