You should know all about my impeccable taste by now,
Which is why I often have to grab a pen and paper whenever you or Neil post.

A Porcupine Tree playlist. Mostly "Fear Of A Blank Planet", with a few "Deadwing" and "The Incident" songs sprinkled in, if I caught them right. Good stuff. I wonder if Mr. Wilson plans to revisit that project anytime soon.
Afterwards, my lady love put on "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant" by Dimmu Borgir. Our original 1997 CD had a pressing error on track 8 which caused the damn thing to skip and it took us only 23 years to replace it. Our new CD arrived this morning and listening back to the album was pretty eye-opening. Black Metal has come a LOOOOOOOONG way since then. Kinda charming, in their own evil ways.
Love "Deadwing" and "Fear of a Blank Planet." Last I knew Wilson was still more than over collaborative working, and Harrison has so many projects going I'm not sure he would have time for new Porcupine Tree.
I remember buying ELO's "A New World Record" when it first came out and promptly getting a scratch on the last song of the first side. Years later when I finally replaced it, it always threw me when I heard that song and it doesn't skip.

Iron Savior - Skycrest (album)
Heavy Metal comfort food. Nice hooklines, a bit on the cheesy side. Very slick production. Probably a huge "love-it/hate-it" item.

Witherscape - The New Tomorrow
One of my fave Prog-adjacent bands of the past few years. It's basically former Edge-Of-Sanity head Dan Swanö and multi-instrumentalist Ragnar Wideberg playing "Opeth light". The basis is clearly Death Metal, but there's a LOT of '70s prog in there. Much less in the way of off-time breaks and instrumental olympics, but not all that simple verse-bridge-chorus structures either. Very warm production and multi-facetted vocal work ranging from brutal growls to wonderfully warm clean vocals.
I've spun their debut "The Inheritance" a TON since it came out, now I'm using my Music Unlimited membership to check out their other albums. Not disappointed at all so far.

While you're at it, you might want to give the US band Witherfall a go. They play in the Nevermore vein of prog-infused Power Metal. These guys love to shred. Pretty cool stuff.

Will do - thanks!
Incidentally - Cult Of Luna just released a new album. I haven't heard it yet, but it's an autobuy.

Opeth : Blackwater Park
Genius. A must-listen. Yes it has "cookie monster" death style growls, but they're light and contribute to the music rather than dominating it.
I still think Still Life is better, but this is a close second.
'Course, a few albums after this, their style change completely and both won and lost them a significant segment of their audience.
