I am a big fan of Tom Englund’s work. That said they have never topped this early song, it just rocks that hard (King of Errors is a close second)

Day #54 - Exivious

Instrumental Prog.

3010

I love when prog metal band names are as unpronounceable as black metal band logos.

3011

I WAS going to do a joke about the freaking name lol

Day #55 - Faith no More

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG_k5CSYKhg

I didn’t know if it counted or not, but wikipedia said ‘metal’ twice!

3014

Dude, tell me this isn’t metal:

Also their song Motherfucker from their recent album is just so damn enjoyable.

3016

Beyond the usual suspects like Epic, my favorite Faith No More track has always been Be Aggressive. Impossible to get out of your head for days.

3017

And now it’s in my head!

3018

Ah yes a stone cold classic

3019

Angel Dust is a remarkable album.

3020

That…

I…

Wow.

3021

So I should really start posts saying ‘well, this isn’t really metal but…’ to egg people to reply :P

Day #56 - Fates Warning

3022

Fates Warning is one of the godfathers of prog metal, and Ray Adler has a fantastic voice.

Parallels is still my favorite album of theirs because goddamn does Eleventh Hour have one of the most epic build up and release vocal and guitar drops ever. When Ray finds that extra octave! Goosebumps every time

Day #57 - Fear Factory

https://youtu.be/MuDxo-fbW9c

Man, I absolutely loooooved Fear Factory in my 20s. Demanufacture and Obsolete are just amazing. Still do enjoy their stuff from the late 90s, but most of what they did after bounced off me. All the infighting hurt the output, I’d say.

3025

They had some decent albums - the most recent is actually really good that came out last year. Has Burton’s lyrics even though he quit for good before it got released. Demanufacture is easily in my top 10 albums of all time.

3026

I fuckin loved Digimortal back in the day. When they were fusing shouted and clean vox with their pounding downtuned riffs, it was the coolest fucking shit in the world to me.

I thought Genexus was actually their best one in ages after Dino was back, but I haven’t listened to the one after that.
