Am listen to an #MP3 & wondering why I don't recognise the obvious Mastodon song playing.
Turns out it's Witch Ripper, who have that big complex progressive Mastodon sound and style.

While it's still #BandcampFriday , you should check out Sarah Longfield's new album! If you're into progressive metal/djent, she really delivered a great album. Some very cool synth work in there too! #music #progressivemetal #progmetal #djent #bandcamp #mathrock #progrock

Currently checking out #TheReticent - Please.
Too deathy for me. The theme is mental health, and it has non-music, narrated passages that don't do it for me.

Abstracted – Hiraeth Review By Samguineous MaximusOnce upon a time, before I was a battle-jacket-wearing, corpse-paint-adorned, trve-metal warrior of the highest order, I was a high-school prog nerd. The djent wave was cresting just as I began to really delve deeper into music, and the hordes of technical, djenty bands with ultra-modern production and surprising amounts of melody still sit near and dear to my heart, even if I rarely reach back into the Sumerian-scented pile in my regular listening habits. 1 That’s why when I saw the promo for Hiraeth, the 2nd album by Brazilian prog metallers Abstracted, with comparisons to The Contortionist, The Human Abstract, and Between the Buried and Me, I couldn’t help but get a little excited at the prospect of newer music tapping into those formative sounds. Abstracted have been a band since 2013, and their long-gestating debut record, 2022’s Atma Conflux, was an effective and varied slab of djenty progressive death metal, marred by tepid production and less-than-stellar clean vocals. More than anything, though, it showed potential as a record brimming with ideas that was so close to being great. With Hiraeth, can the Brazilian group finally unify their influences into something more than the sum of their parts?
On Hiraeth, Abstracted demonstrates a thorough understanding of contemporary progressive metal styles and integrates them into something all their own. The band’s main sound is a djent-fueled take on modern progressive death metal, closest to early-era The Contortionist in its blending of odd-meter riffery, post-rock-influenced textures, and an enticing contrast between melancholic space-age cleans and technical 6-string chugs. Abstracted balance this with more traditional Haken-esque classic prog turnarounds and jazz breaks (“Sirens”), fast-paced Between the Buried and Me riff marathons (“To Quench This Insatiable Thirst”), and harmonic nuance within darker moments à la Persefone (“Requiem”). The result is a varied and dynamic set of tunes that glide effortlessly between impressive riff-fueled aggression and cathartic melodies. Songs like “The Utter End” and “The Barren Grave of God” demonstrate the band’s ability to naturally move from strength to strength without missing a beat, unfolding across expansive guitar arpeggios, delightfully off-kilter breakdowns, virtuosic solos, and powerful musical climaxes.
This level of fluidity and genre cohesion on Hiraeth is only made possible by the high level of musicianship Abstracted display. Guitarists José Consani and Leonardo Brito give varied performances that successfully meld more djent-centric playing with classic death metal sensibilities and demonstrate keen melodic ears with dense jazz chords and powerful lead lines. Drummer Fernando Pollen blends Latin grooves with acrobatic modern metal flourishes, and the production’s more natural drum tone allows his dynamic nuances to guide several songs. 2 On bass, Riverton Alves turns in a thoroughly warm and jazz-based, Cynic-flavored performance that shines during quieter moments, while keyboardist Carol Lynn supplies plenty of atmosphere through subtle synth textures and steps to the forefront a few times with quirky, but effective synth lines reminiscent of Diego Tejeida. Together, this ensemble breathes plenty of life into a style of music that can often feel over-processed, and their performances help to unify this collection of songs into a cohesive whole.The only elements of Hiraeth that aren’t immediately impressive are the vocals and the production. Rosano Pedro Matiussi delivers an impassioned performance, and his vocal lines often fit the songs well, but his clean singing lacks a certain impact or personality to elevate good moments into great ones. Initially, this was enough to deter me from really digging deeper and appreciating the songcraft on display, but the singing grew on me quite a bit with time. Similarly, his death growls are solid, if not one-note, and they feel like they exist more so to fill a role than to accent particular sections. This could potentially be the production’s fault, as Hiraeth sounds generally good and more natural than the swaths of overproduced modern prog 3 but lacks a certain sonic clarity, occasionally making especially dense sections harder to parse. There’s a distinct lack of reverb on the harsh vocals, and I can’t help but wonder if a stronger mix could fit the layered clean singing a bit better. Matiussi’s vocals are far from bad, and there are parts like the somber intro to “Requiem” where he sounds great, but when everything else is operating at such a high level, they feel like a weak link.
With Hiraeth, Abstracted have delivered an impressive piece of modern progressive metal. This record is a grower for sure, with dense and layered compositions often revealing their clever construction and intense interconnectedness only after repeated spins. Even if the vocals leave a little to be desired, the Brazilian group has successfully combined the sounds of several of the best modern prog bands into something exciting and nuanced.

Pretty interesting mix of #progmetal #heavymetal and #trashmetal straight from Japan. I didn't see it coming but I'm really surprised. I can't remember when was the last time I found some good #metal from Japan. Halfway through I have to admit, that I'm not completely fine with the whole album, still it can grow on me.

Sad Serenity – Tiny Miracles Review
By Angry Metal Guy
Written By: Nameless_n00b_606
Perhaps more than any other subgenre of metal, prog requires work. Prog metal’s penchant for long, complex compositions can make an entire album feel like a chore, but the genre also dazzles with displays of virtuosic musicianship that prompt repeat listens. For prog metal collective Sad Serenity, German multi-instrumentalist Marcell Kaemmerer handles all the composing (music, lyrics, arrangements) and is responsible for much of the virtuosity, playing guitars, keyboards, and bass. Like their 2023 debut, The Grand Enigma, Tiny Miracles is a 70-plus-minute opus, comprised of what Sad Serenity describes as “6 mostly overlong songs of up to 23 minutes.”1 Sounding more like a warning than an invitation, this description makes prospective listeners wonder if Tiny Miracles will provoke—and reward—sustained attention.
Abounding with virtuosic performances, Tiny Miracles sounds like Dream Theater, especially their early 2000s output (Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, Train of Thought). In his roles as Petrucci, Rudess, and Myung, Kaemmerer shines, crafting songs with chunky guitar riffs, bass-driven verses, and textural keyboards (“Tell the Moon”). Filling out the core of Sad Serenity is Greek vocalist George Margaritopolous, who reminds more of Cedric Bixler-Zavala (The Mars Volta) than he does Jame LaBrie when he belts the high notes. And though it would be hard to out-drum Mike Portnoy, Brazilian drummer Vinny Silva more than holds his own, effortlessly moving between machine gun double bass, double-time beats, and tight rim work (“Torn”). As a collective, Sad Serenity also benefits from contributions by musicians across the world, including Australia (violin), Croatia (transverse flute), and Kaemmerer’s native Germany (accordion). Björn von Känel balances all these elements in a deceptively airy mix. In its instrumental plentitude, technical prowess, and pristine production, Tiny Miracles sounds like a heavy metal symphony.
Sad Serenity says that Tiny Miracles revolves around “the small, miraculous and too often overlooked aspects of life,” yet all but one track takes inspiration from the grandiose domain of literature. “Alter Ego,” an adaptation of Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, is the album’s shortest song and a banger, turning the dissonance-draped opening riff into a Tool-esque verse, sweet shredding, and some concluding prog nuttiness. “Torn,” the one song with no literary reference, is another (relatively) shorter track that slaps, twisting chunky rhythms and nifty riffs around an infectious chorus. Meanwhile, “A Cabin in the Woods”—the second longest track—sets a disjointed tone as the album opener; the placid verses and woodwinds evoke the naturalism of its source material (Thoreau’s Walden), but the pulsing synths and syncopated chugs aren’t exactly rustic. And then there’s “The Elemental Dance,” the obligatory multi-part prog suite. Sad Serenity’s version comes in five movements and is based on Goethe’s “Der Zauberlehrling” (“The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”). It has impressive moments, but some movements resonate more than others; one must ask why Sad Serenity didn’t separate this 23-minute Gargantua into five digestible tracks for the digital album. Given the band’s statement that Tiny Miracles spotlights overlooked minutiae, it’s fitting that the ‘smaller’ songs demand the most attention.
There’s no overlooking the powerful pipes of George Margaritopolous. Tiny Miracles contains songs with traditional structures that allow Margaritopolous to drop some supremely catchy hooks. There’s the aforementioned “Torn,” and then there’s “Tiny Miracles,” which slowly amplifies its anthemic chorus before adding urgency to its final iteration. But for the most part, Margaritopolous sings recitativo-style narratives from Kaemmerer’s literature-inspired libretto.2 In both “A Cabin in the Woods” and “Alter Ego,” shifts from third- to first-person perspective don’t clearly map onto compositional shifts. This may seem like a minor discrepancy, but it illustrates the dangers of favoring virtuosic yet functional vocals over vocal hooks—it puts pressure on the lyrics to carry more weight.
Having put in work to understand Tiny Miracles and its enormous compositions, I will say that Sad Serenity has a flawed but ultimately enjoyable sophomore album on its hands. The ‘shorter’ songs stand out the most, blending traditional structures with the jaw-dropping excursions that prog metal fans crave (“Torn,” “Alter Ego”). Conversely, the longer songs, in their grander narrative scale, contain fewer vocal hooks and sometimes meander (“A Cabin in the Woods,” “Tell the Moon”). Afficionados of the genre will garner appreciation from subtleties heretofore unmentioned: melodic modulations, mixed-mode chord progressions, etc. But to the metal fan in general, consider this a cautious invitation; Tiny Miracles is indeed overlong, but it does reward repeat listens.

I have to say, the new #DreamTheater album #Parasomnia feels really rounded in terms of Progressive Metal.
It slaps? A lot, but there are a lot chord progressions that I'm sure make sense on paper, but not too much on execution.
Otherwise the album is solid, probably the best in terms of "concept" since 2013 self title album. Also, greatly mixed and sounding. I'll give it a 8/10.
