Lmao right? See also: Aethere, Aethereus, Aetherius, and Aetherian

Ooh sounds like a fun watch!

Well that was super cool, exciting exposure too.

That’s good to know: I don’t know Gorod as well as I should, and I picked this track pretty hastily

Hell yeah Snarky Puppy! And I’d never heard of Forq before, thanks for sharing. Always cracks me up to make those discoveries: we’re both here for metal, but also both enjoy upbeat modern jazz like that too

Aw Volbeat. Makes me think of Lola Montez, been a long time lol

Totally allowed! I’ll give that a shot, thanks for sharing

Yeah agreed, reminds me a bit of the voicemail intro to Archspire’s A.U.M.

Maaaaaan - this is what’s cool about the huge umbrella that is metal. It includes the stuff I always post on this community, yes, your JFAC, your Carnosus, relentless techy wankery. But it also includes beautiful operatic melodic metal like this. The guitar work makes me want to go explore the ruins of a temple, and the vocals make me want to soar above it. This is what Mods Are Drunk Friday is for, thanks for sharing

I can’t decide if this’d be better with Stu Block hair metal vocals, or unintelligible slam vocals, but I’m here for it either way

Yeah same here, I’m not too good at identifying tech/black/prog/melo/core elements, I just go for what sounds good. Hell yeah Esoteric Malacology, love Crop Killer. Tomb Mold is good too, but I know Planetary Clairvoyance better than The Enduring Spirit. The others are new to me, so I’ll check those out, thanks!
