Let's check out the Beijing band OU, this is some wild stuff! =D

Mountain is their most-played song on Spotify, and it's on their 2022 debut album, one. I think fans of GriffO (鬼否) will also like this. The combination of ethereal vocals over proggy-math-metal music is a winner. I've only heard a few tunes so far, but I'm pretty excited about this band.

Lynn Wu-Voc, Anthony Vanacore-Drums, 张晶 Jing Zhang-Gtr, 崔文正 Chris Cui-Bass

I had never heard of this band until a few days ago, when a single from their upcoming album "蘇醒 II: Frailty" appeared in my YT recs. The album is co-produced by Canadian prog-metal mastermind Devin Townsend, and he adds some background growling vocal on the song 淨化 Purge. This is completely intense and insane:

Bonus clip: My favorite Devin Townsend song, this is from his 1997 Ocean Machine album:

Some of his music is waaay too heavy for my taste, but other tunes I recommend are Canada, Sit In The Mountain, and Mountain.

Hi Jonny. Were you at all inspired by A Question Of Balance by The Moody Blues for other things you’ve written? I ask because your reference to Melancholy Man in Thirteen Storeys prompted me to listen to the full album a while back and I feel like I find new parallels between the album and your other works with each listen. I’d also be very interested in any thoughts you have on the album. Thanks!

I mean, I grew up on my dad's 70s prog collection (my first gig at age 13 was Uriah Heep's 30th anniversary show), so Moody Blues were pretty formative for me, yeah. They weren't quite up there with Pink Floyd, Deep Purple or Uriah Heep, which were my favourites, but "Melancholy Man" specifically has always stuck with me, and its definitely found its way onto more than one of my writing playlists.

The issue of being in niche fandoms with not enough girlies in it is the complete lack of fanfic and cute edits. It’s rough out here for Dream Theater, Rush, and Iron Maiden girlies

Calling fellow metalheads!

Since so far I've only mentioned it as a sidenote as a part of another post, I figured I'd make a separate one

Are you a metalhead? Do you like clicking boxes and/or talking about metal?

Behold:

It'd help a lot if you could answer this short survey (anonymous, 12 questions, mainly multiple choice) for my college research project

The survey will be open for at most two weeks. My project is due in early May so I need time to be able to actually write up my research.

Since my project is specifically about metal fans, I can't just send it out to my fellow college students and friends like other students have done, which is why I need y'all to help me out if you have a minute or two to spare

Thanks!
