#Prog-Metal
I'm David Busboom, I write weird monster/cosmic horror with (I hope) a literary bent. My favorite music to listen to (especially when writing) is hard rock/heavy metal from the late '60s thru about the mid '90s. I like a lot of prog, folk, and psychedelia, too.

Please stop staring at me…”

This week, we’re asking about the music of the night, the songs on Lestat’s playlist, and all that jazz…

Introduce yourself, the horror you write, and your favorite music to listen to.

I met my wife on the message boards of the band Primus. They're a silly, incredibly gifted band who play funk prog metal songs about cats and racecar drivers, and if it weren't for love of them I wouldn't be married. youtu.be/LBQ2305fLeA?...

Cartoonishly complex, full of crunchy riffs exciting melodies and preternatural virtuosity, Planet X’s ‘Universe’ is instrumental prog metal at its uncompromising best.

I’m Clover, and I write experimental horror. My playlist is full of prog metal and drone, which fits the isolating atmosphere in my stories.

me chatting with a friend: "yknow as cool as alot of prog metal band's lyricisms/arsthetics of philosophy and introspection is, i do low-key yearn for the pulp fantasy type stuff that 70s prog bands would come up with"

friend: "but then it would just be power metal essentially :)"

Pshaw I'm a jazz and prog metal musician. I'm no stranger to getting beaten by the beat

I mean, it hurts a lot every time, but still

And I guess awakened levi would hurt my wallet too

Blood Incantation 2x

Once with their ambient album Timewave Zero

Followed by Absolute Elsewhere, their psychedelic-prog-death metal epic.
What are some albums where a band or artist did a big genre/style shift but it fucking ruled instead of sucking shit?

Anathema - Judgement (they slowly went from Death/Doom Metal band to a prog/goth rock band, but this album was the inflection point)

Baroness - Yellow and Green (went from sludge to proggy rock/metal)

The Gathering - How to Measure a Planet? (Went from Death/Doom to an alt rock sound)
