Record Store Day 2017 Video

came out okay, a tad rushed since I made this today between going back to my apt and work after the doctor.

oh and I do have some footage from the day, I likely will only share some of, and likely only FB. Some of it sadly, did not come out too well.

Emerson Lake and Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery 7"
Meshuggah - I (2014 Special Edition)
Marillion - Incommunicado/Going Under U.K 7"

The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (Unofficial, 2015  180g 2 LP)

Lock Horns: Essential Prog Metal Albums

i may add more later, but for now here's my comment.

not too surprised; Pain of Salvation, Fates Warning, maudlin of the Well and SikTh are nowhere to be found. Also Burst (whose album "Lazarus Bird" I find better than any album Mastodon ever made) and Green Carnation's "Light of Day, Day of Darkness" are sadly not even in the spectrum of this list. That being said, the list is decent, although I don't care for Tool nor most Meshuggah, but instead of 10, this list probably could have been a Top 20 or 25.

Artist Review: Pain of Salvation

I may have forgot to fully show the gatefold for Remedy Lane but so be it. This was a 2nd attempt anyway, lol.

I'll try and make Part 2 this week.

Kimbra's Meshuggah influence

Well, all the music media people, especially pop people I hope get wind of this. She's talked about being a fan of The Dillinger Escape Plan (and she worked with Ben Weinman in fact, on her upcoming 2nd LP) and now Meshuggah.

....I guess that's what happens when u listen to heaps of Meshuggah on the road.... ‪#‎kimbracore‬ ‪#‎fanfootage‬

Meshuggah - Koloss (2012)

2/22/12 12:58AM
new song "Do Not Look Down" (Nuclear Blast disabled the Embed, fuckers)

and this new song "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion"

 kinda "meh" towards it to be honest. "Do Not Look Down" I'm digging much more.

Album title is as edited "Koloss" or "Colossus" (which I think sounds better, but that's the German word for it).

story

When Meshuggah released a brief message last week announcing the release date of their new album, I don’t think anyone even stopped to think that the album’s title might be hidden within:

After a long time of deep soul searching and intense wrecking of the psyches, the new album is finally done. Soon you will meet this colossus that will pulverize your being. Welcome to the other side on March 27.

But then came an email from stealthy MetalSucks informant Ashley Lee linking to a page in Nuclear Blast’s German webstore showing an album by the name “Koloss” — “Colossus” in German – set for release on March 23rd (releasing an album on Friday in Europe and the following Tuesday in the U.S. is still par for the course these days despite many record labels’ willful ignorance of the existence of the Internet). Here’s the English translation of the text on the NB Germany page:

Exclusively at NUCLEAR BLAST mailorder! The limited edition ”colossus” digipakincluding bonus DVD MESHUGGAH plus the magic cube! Limited to 500 bundles!

Not that I'm a huge fan or anything, but given this album is supposed to be a departure from their proto-djent sound, and more thrash oriented, I'm more curious about this album than I typically would be.

March 27th. More to add in due time.
