Aragon and Vauxdvihl

[Rick and Roll]

I like a lot of heavy music. I resist caling anything "metal", but I resigned myself to that term long ago.

The bands you mention are not really my style. I saw Ice Age at Nearfest, they were OK. It's just that these bands are in the middle, and they're too muddled musically. Give me some Tool, Maiden, etc. I feature these bands from time to time and I think they are plenty prog.

There are some bands like Last Crack that sometimes pop up and are moderately interesting, but the genre seems to want to prove its progginess at the expense of creating an interesting feel.

Pain of Salvation hasn't hit me right yet.

Welcome!
