Chimp Spanner - At The Dream's Edge
Hmmm I forgot about that, wanted to check it out, thx for the reminder ?
It's actually pretty good, the tracks Supererogation and The Mirror are probably my favourites on the album. Got another Chimp Spanner album called Imperium Vorago that I think is the better of the two, lots of cool disonant moments, polymetric riffs and some very interesting ambient moments ?
There's another similar band called CloudKicker, I have their album Beacons and it's good but it's not amazing - there is a track called "We're Going in, We're going down" which is pretty rad but on the whole not the best offering.
I recently bought myself the RG2228 GK so I'm just checking out lots of the new Djent stuff just to get some ideas and a feel for the style ? I think that out of all the major popular movements in metal it's definitly one of the better ones, but I'm sure it'll get oversaturated and generic soon enough. A friend of mine showed me the new After The Burial album and it was awful, you can just hear it's a major rush job - sounds like generic metalcore but on 8-string, which is a shame cause their first cd was promising, not amazing just promising.
I highly highly highly recommend Animals As Leaders though, that stuff is intense and quite original, which is fairly unusual for metal these days ? and Periphery is okay, they've got some really cool riffs but on the whole the screaming then singing thing is a bit too metalcore for my liking.
