I don't know why it took me until today to realize, but this year was fantastic for my personal favorite genre of music, progressive/technical metal. Here's a list (in no particular order) of great releases that have come out this year (or that soon will)-
The Human Abstract- Digital Veil
Devin Townsend- Ghost and Deconstruction
Scale the Summit- The Collective
Protest the Hero- Scurrilous
Blotted Science- The Animation of Entomology
Between the Buried and Me- The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues
Cynic- Carbon-Based Anatomy
Animals As Leaders- Weightless
And to top it all off, Dysrhythmia released a new track, which means they'll be releasing a new album soon. Probably not by the end of the year, but honestly, it'd be a damn good way to end the year.
I've listened to Digital Veil more than any of the other albums, but I can vouch for all of them. They're damn good. And I say this with complete confidence, even though the last two haven't even come out yet, because based on what little I've heard so far, Cynic and AAL are going to BLOW your MIND. That's just what they do.
After a few more listens all around, I might even do a detailed review or two. Keep an eye out for that if you're interested.
