Looking for some more progressive metal similar to the stuff below. Any suggestions?
And if you insist on something with death rootsLooking for some more progressive metal similar to the stuff below. Any suggestions?
I strongly second The Chasm, Dark Millennium and PhlebotomizedLooking for some more progressive metal similar to the stuff below. Any suggestions?
RIP to my childhood friend, Oli Herbert.
I know most of you in here won't think much of All That Remains' music, but he was absolutely something else on guitar. He was held back a lot by the nature of the band, but was always the standout piece. He has some upcoming collaborations that are more technical oriented which will surely be awesome.
Agreed. I was never the biggest AtR fan but Olli could shred! One of the best lead guitarists I've seen live. RIP.
Super late but I was so sad to hear about this. The Fall of Ideals still rips, I don’t care what anyone says. RIP.RIP to my childhood friend, Oli Herbert.

And sorry to hear about you losing a friend too.
What’s the story on that page? Is there suspected foul play or something? Sorry, I don’t know much about the whole situation.Thanks. This whole thing has possibly gotten far worse as well. I won't throw accusations but if you're on FB check out the "Justice For Oli Herbert" page and hold onto your socks =/

Damnnnnnn, that’s crazy. I might need to follow that one.Nothing is confirmed as true yet, but spousal involvement is being investigated. I've at least confirmed this is all a legit concern w/his best friend back home. He didn't say much beyond that, but based on the wife's actions in the public eye as of late it all seems too good to not be true.
Speaking of All That Remains they released a new album today.
Was one of my favorite bands after the release of Fall of Ideals. I've only listened to the **** Love track but it seems super heavy.
I listened to it a few times today, I like it a lot. The weakest songs are way better than 80% of the previous few. Despite the change in styles, those recent albums still had some killer songs on them that most people never got/bothered to discover. Some of their heaviest stuff and my favorites has come from those albums, it's a shame.
This was a great 180 (again) to their direction and I was hoping it would lead to another in a couple years. Even if it does, without Oli they'll never be the same. Sure there are capable players out there but he had another feel all together. The rhythm guitarist is closer to my age and we were in school together way back when; he was a student of Oli's back then and has always had a similar writing style. He doesn't have the theory and classical education however, so the leads I'm not sure can be replicated. I trust he'll do his damndest to honor our old teacher, though. It'll be interesting to see a new lead player come in and try to replicate Oli's writing style, or replace it (ugh).
Some online news sites are starting to pick up on the Justice For Oli endeavor. Seems his wife has quieted down a bit. I feel like we're going to get some answers soon. The more I think about it the more it sickens me. Obviously nobody deserves such a thing to happen to them, but he was the most simple, calm, unimposing, wouldn't-harm-a-fly kind of person. Knowing them, I don't doubt the abusive relationship claims for a second.
