metal/core/prog/generally heavy stuff thread

This new Messa album is really good

Interesting. I love how forward guitars have gotten. But don't like how distant Dan's voice is in the mix. In the August, 2025 comes re-mixed Crimson II.

 

the new Dormant Ordeal album is also pretty good

not a new release, but a lesser known favorite of mine that I was listening to again for the first time in a while, sort of an atmospheric crusty black metal sound

Lorna Shore put out another pretty great song with a new album later this year



Omnivortex also put a new song


I can only hope they also have a new album on the way

 

Car bomb put out a new song with a new EP in August

Let's see how far "generally heavy stuff" stretches...

 

Shadow of Intent has a new album out, and unlike the last one, this one is incredible.

The new Cea Serin song is amazing, been a while since a prog-metal song grabbed me like that!
