Yes sir, despite the controversy of his lyrics. I love them. It's who Eminem has been since he started.

Can't sleep yet, so I figure I'll add some of the stuff I've been enjoying amidst my ongoing Prog/Djent phase. Not gonna post angry boi hours this time around, as I've kind of been shying away from Stoner/Doom Metal the last little while. It's great workout music, make no mistake, but I found that it was becoming a bit stale.

So, here we go. I'll list the first one or two songs that come to mind when I think of a certain band, just to give you a small taste

Note: I don't really enjoy music videos, but they're a necessary evil here.

Caligula's Horse - Songs for No One



Voyager - Entropy



Voyager - Acension



The Contortionist - Reimagined



Thank You Scientist - Geronimo



Thank You Scientist - The Amateur Arsonist's Handbook



Haken - The Mind's Eye



Haken - The Architect



Tesseract - Of Mind: Nocturne



VOLA - Smartfriend



Leprous - The Price



Okay, that's... way more than I meant to put, but whatever. These certainly aren't going to appeal to everybody, but it does a good job of showing off the kind of sound I've been gravitating toward recently.

Naturally, pretty much all of this can be found on Spotify/Google Play if that appeals to you more than Youtube. Those links would have certainly taken up less space, in hindsight

Love the vibes this song gives and can be pretty relating at times. But got so many, saw a few nice ones will deffo add some to my list.

Absolutely bumpin

Great tunes all, definitely some music i'd never heard before, glad to see this thread bumping again with my love for music it's always nice to hear others views.

I have once again found some love in 10 Years

My current favourite band

(Explicit language) This song has really been what's stuck on my playlist lately

Definitely depends on my mood cos I have a wide range of songs I love or like. But no specific artist that I'm a huge fan of nowadays.

This'll get ya going

Oh man this is genuinely hard for me to answer. I don't necessarily listen to a large variety of music, but I make it a goal to listen to as much new music every year as possible and I don't always remember a lot of it. Typically I'm after prog/tech death metal, so here's some stuff from albums I've been re-listening to more than necessary recently.

Unleash the Archers - Faster Than Light


Black Crown Initiate - Invitation


Spiritbox - Holy Roller


Allegaeon - Roundabout

Here's my pick for album of the year, up to this point (Prog Rock/Metal warning):

The Ocean - Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic


Honourable mentions to:

Haken - Virus


Caligula's Horse - Rise Radiant


And, as much as I hate to say it, my favourite band kinda disappointed me this year. Wasn't a bad offering, but it's a huge departure from the sound I fell in love with. Here it is anyway

Elder - Omens


Edit: Oh, and I'm not into Metalcore quite like I used to be, but this deserves to be on here too:

Blueshift - Voyager

havent been listening to metal for very long, but this song is so god damn hard. absolutely love the combo of rapping w/ metal vocals.
