Track Of The Day - The Infinite Edition

An instrumental standout featuring some soloing by Jeff Loomis (ex-Nevermore), reminding me of his later supergroup Conquering Dystopia:

RIP ex-Textures vocalist Pieter Verpaalen. This epic shows the best of his vocal talent in his sole album with the band, Polars:

A fun spooky progressive interlude fueled up with horror-filled synths:

An 8-minute epic of the band's unique sound that has allowed them reach different places:

Perhaps the best of Textures' hard-hitting and melodic sides in the music and vocals:

A marvelous highlight showing that the talented power of Dualism has never died out:

This and "Conscious Descent" are the only tracks in this Hemotoxin album I find progressive, but technicality and aggression continue to reign:

An amazing progressive track with clean/unclean vocals and lyrics of depression:

This brilliant highlight might just go down as one of my favorite songs in all of progressive metal:

Many ideas are extracted from the 1990/1991 albums of Believer and Coroner, as well as Opeth in the more mellow sections:

The perfect starting track of Extol's self-titled 2013 album, with a sense of danger and chaos to give you motivation in life:

A couple bands I enjoy now are the experimental jazz-metal of Norwegian band Shining (not to be confused with the Swedish DSBM band):

And the progressive groove-ish metalcore of Jinjer:

Post-sludge/metalcore from a band formed by Jimmy Ryan, ex-vocalist of Haste the Day:

Motorhead-infused energetic prog-metal from this prolific Canadian mastermind:

A couple bands I enjoy now are the progressive/power metal of Almah, side-project of ex-Angra vocalist Edu Falaschi:

And the modern ambient progressive rock/metal of VOLA:

An early demo of the experimental title track of Jar of Kingdom:
