Textures, a band from the Netherlands, plays an aggressive, complex and progressive style with many clean vocals and melodic parts, which rather sound like hard rock than metal, nicely integrated into the raw but atmospheric, heavy parts of the album. Those who liked former progressive posts in this blog like Harcride and The Ocean Collective will love this one. Take a shot inside!

Hacride started out as technical Death Metal band but developed over their second album Amoeba and third album Lazarus to a complex and experimental, progressive metal band. The band combines strong vocals and a dark sound with both, heavy and melodic parts in diversified, lengthy songs. Fans of Gojira, Messhuggah and even Isis will definitely get their money's worth!

Although Mastodon's new album Crack The Skye is a conceptual piece like their previous releases, the record's sound is not as experimental as before and will actually reach more people and develop a wider basis of fans. According to Dailor Mastodon wanted to stick to elements as air was the element of the previous record. The element of the new record is ether, which is what the soul is made of.

Cult of Luna - Salvation
Published on November 10th, 2008 @ 05:34:56 pm , using 92 words, 963 views
| Band: | Cult of Luna |
| Album Title: | Salvation |
| Released: | October 2004 |
| Genres: | Death Metal, Doom Metal, Progressive Metal |

Cult of Luna is similar to progressive metal bands like Isis and Neurosis but they definitely have their own sound. Most of their songs start quietly and unhurried, increasing in speed, volume and intensity and end up in keen culmination. Enjoy two of their songs from Salvation, a very old but great and clean album.
