Willie: Willie's 2017 So Far

Willie 09.17.17	Goo stuff worth checking out. Any additional recommendations before the end of year?
Toondude10 09.17.17	Threshold - The Legend of the Shires Jorn - Life on Death Road Witherfall - Nocturnes and Requiems (I think you'd like this one Willie) Serenity in Murder - The Eclipse Nothing But Thieves - Broken Machine
JamieTwort 09.17.17	The new Spectral Voice sounds like it'll be worth checking based on the first two tracks which are available now. https://darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/eroded-corridors-of-unbeing
Sniff 09.17.17	Father Befouled - Desolate Gods for your osdm cravings
bgillesp 09.17.17	1 will no doubt be top 5 for me at the end of the year. Needing to check more of these but Ulsect was pretty good.
EvoHavok 09.17.17	Cool albums. You might like Amorphis' live album An Evening with Friends at Huvila. There's been plenty of great death metal too (Sunless, Venenum, Lantern, Phrenelith). Other than that, you could check Super Snake and Aether Realm.
teamster 09.18.17	Check out Foscor
Satellite 09.18.17	good list willie 23 sounds like something i'd dig
ScuroFantasma 09.18.17	Caligula's Horse is a great name dude
Dunpeal 09.18.17	I tend to line up with your taste in music, dude, so I'm checking some stuff on here and liking a few of these quite a lot
JamieTwort 09.18.17	"the traditional prog of bands like Porcupine Tree and Riverside" Wait, what? Since when did either of those bands play traditional prog? Steven Wilson may have done some throwback (read; tribute to) traditional prog on his solo albums but Porcupine Tree are one of the last bands I'd describe as traditional prog.
Nero 09.18.17	Perhaps I would change ulver to number 1 and PoS to number 2. Agreed with CoF pretty good stuff. And i would probably add Paradise Lost's Medusa. Good list!
DoofusWainwright 09.18.17	Caligula's Donkey
L4titudes 09.18.17	Gonna have to check 1-5. Nice list.
Willie 09.18.17	So, I added the rec's I've been given so far. I'll report back after I've checked them out. --Amorphis' live album An Evening with Friends at Huvila-- I haven't heard that one yet, but I'll definitely check it out. The live albums/EPs/Re-Issues can't be on my end of year list, though, so they won't be on here either. --Check out Foscor-- I checked them out already. They're a 3.3 for me. They remind me of Novembre. --I tend to line up with your taste in music, dude, so I'm checking some stuff on here and liking a few of these quite a lot-- What have you checked out? --Since when did either of those bands play traditional prog? Steven Wilson may have done some throwback (read; tribute to) traditional prog on his solo albums but Porcupine Tree are one of the last bands I'd describe as traditional prog.-- Personally, I put those two bands and similar things into the 'traditional prog' category in iTunes and then bands like Tesseract and Periphery are in the 'modern prog' category. They just fit better there when on shuffle. Obviously, there are plenty of sub-genres and nuances that could dictate where a band fits. --Paradise Lost's Medusa-- I like it, but it was definitely a big step backwards. I didn't really like their 'roots' to begin with, and I'm not a huge fan of the band going back to them now. --Gonna have to check 1-5. Nice list.-- They're all pretty different from each other.
Toondude10 09.18.17	Also! Arcane Roots - Melancholia Hymns
zaruyache 09.18.17	bumping so i can remember to check #26 since i'm obligated to cheq post-rock
Dunpeal 09.19.17	so far i've checked in reverence, currents and mechina... tried to start Leprous but wasn't in the mood, so i'll check later didn't even know Mechina released anything this year. their last two before this year's i've enjoyed a lot currents and in reverence i enjoyed, but then i jammed them in the gym and wasn't feeling it, so maybe not making my gym jams, but i'll give 'em another go

They just fit better there when on shuffle. Obviously, there are plenty of sub-genres and nuances that could dictate where a band fits." Fair enough, I know our views and tastes in prog differ greatly. For me, prog-rock (and essentially what I would describe as traditional prog) pretty much died at the end of the 70's and what we've been left with since (besides some throwback acts trying to recapture that 70's sound) is essentially various offshoots of the prog movement such as neo-prog and prog mixed with other genres such as prog metal which of course is still very much alive. I'd probably describe Porcupine Tree as alt-prog.
JamieTwort 09.19.17	Also somewhat surprised not to see the new Soen album on here. I thought that was pretty decent and this is coming from someone who had no interest in the band prior to giving the new one a listen, which I did after having heard the band were no longer straight up Tool worship.

I'd probably describe Porcupine Tree as alt-prog.-- I don't even listen to 70s prog, so my idea of prog doesn't start until Fates Warning and Dream Theater and things like that. I have an alt. prog genre on my itunes, too. It has bands like Anathema, The Apex Theory, BATS, Coheed, etc. --Also somewhat surprised not to see the new Soen album on here.

klap 09.20.17	didn't realize there was a new eisley out, very nice check out TOPS - sugar at the gate and the fazerdaze album for that female pop kick i know u like
Willie 09.25.17	--Father Befouled - Desolate Gods for your osdm cravings-- Checked it out. It's not bad, but OSDM definitely isn't my thing.
Sniff 09.26.17	¯_(ツ)_/¯ Glad you gave it a shot at least
