Track Of The Day - The Infinite Edition

Two tracks connected together to make an epic with as much grandeur as their previous ones:

This is the kind of epic Tesseract has had with "Concealing Fate" from One and the 4 epics that make up Altered State, missing in the two albums that followed. Tesseract is really back!

Humanity's Last Breath isn't the only leader of the brutal djent subgenre Thall. These two bands are also important in the subgenre's development:

A fantastic progressive start to another one of Hope for the Dying's epic journeys:

Both parts of the brutal "Bellua" suite are better suited as a full 8-minute epic. You can enjoy both parts here, but I'm telling you, it's one of those "better together" situations:

This expansive standout displays more of the band's ongoing quest for the ultimate heaviness:

Sparse Gojira-esque melody is balanced out with the rest of the song's intensity:

If you can get hooked by the neoclassical leads and melodic chorus in this memorable 9-minute epic, you'll definitely wanna stick around for the rest:

Some of the best melodic progressive metal occurs in one of my favorite tracks by this band, filled with neoclassical madness:

Another awesome epic of unbreakable glory:

One of the greatest epics in the metal part of my existence that I'm grateful to revisit after so many years away from what I once knew:

Some of the best melodic progressive metal occurs in one of my favorite tracks by this band, filled with neoclassical madness:

Playing Symphony X music was extremely important in setting up the moods for my debut novel.  This is one of the specific songs I put on repeat for that reason, along with Evolution, Egypt, Set the World on Fire and Paradise Lost.

"Evolution" and "Set the World on Fire" are both wonderful highlights. "Egypt" and "Paradise Lost" (the title track) are also great but could've been improved more in my opinion.

This massive 80-minute journey is all worth it once you reach this 10-minute sonic behemoth of a closing epic:

Another glorious 7-minute epic of unforgiving riffing:

Early Norwegian progressive/power metal with wonderful singing by Roy Khan who would later join Kamelot:
