holy crap, I didn't know that hahahaha
It's literally the exact same song with different lyrics. Damn. And it sounds so Pain of Salvation-ish anyway, who would've thought.
Yeah, it's crazy. That EP did come out after he started playing with Pain of Salvation, too.
Huh, interesting. Wonder if Daniel took a liking to the song immediately or Ragnar thought it'd be a good idea to remake/cover it...
Anyway, I like how Ragnar complements Daniel's voice in the new version. Dude has a great voice.

Yes sir, Affinity is next for me. Luckily it's on Spotify.
Visions isn't for some reason, hopefully it gets on there soon.

I feel like every modern prog rock band has vocalists that sound like they're at least 40 years old. I guess the community just skews toward older folks.
Jokes aside, what are some good prog rock bands that have a medieval or folky atmosphere? I really like Gryphon, Mellow Candle, and Comus

Meller Golyzniak Duda (a collaboration effort from Maciek Meller, Maciek Gołyźniak and Mariusz Duda, as you can tell from the name) released their first album last Friday and it's pretty good.

Thanks for the heads up. This is not bad.
Yeah, a lot of bands sound like they have the exact the same singer.
Ougenweide? Older stuff from Hölderlin? German prog-bands have some fondness to medieval-esque music. Hölderlins Traum has some good stuff in there and the last track is pure bliss.
And British Progressive Folk. Fairport Convention has some masterpieces, both albums from Trees are also masterpieces.
You can also look for Neo-Medieval Folk or Progressive Folk on RYM.

2016 doesn't stop even with a month left.

Soen's new song sounds like Soen: https://open.spotify.com/track/3geOhalN9vGQSFhfQpK31E
I hope the album doesn't, though. They need to keep evolving. Three albums in isn't time yet for "it sounds like Soen".

Yep. I'm surprised that the new guys are trying to hard to emulate the old guys' sound instead of seizing the chance of doing something unexpected.
Song still kicks ass tho.
Honestly kind of boring and disappointing. Nowhere near Blackfield I or II levels so far. Actually possibly not even better than the highs on DNA or IV.
In no particular order, these are the ones I've listened to more than 4-5 times:
Haken - Affinity
Russian Circles - Guidance
Katatonia - The Fall of Hearts
The Pineapple Thief - Your Wilderness
Nosound - Scintilla
The Dear Hunter - Act V
Opeth - Sorceress
Riverside - Eye of the Soundscape
Maschine - Naturalis

Up late listening to Novalis - Konzerte. Great live album from a great German band. Anyone else know them? Symphonic prog all the way.
Yeah, I have a few albums from them, really well done Symphonic Prog though they got a more commercial sound later on iirc. The one I can recommend the most is Sommerabend.
Not sure if anyone else here has listed to Messenger - Threnodies but I'm really, really enjoying this. I figured I'd share since I'm very impressed by it.

this looks pretty bad
It's so weird seeing how badly they're pushing that mediocre album...
My favorite is absolutely Neal Morse's Similitude of a Dream

That was my favorite release of 2015! Amazing record! It's like sonic soup!

It's actually nice to hear a bit of guitar rippage for once. A lot of prog/electro/ambient/rock whatever has the guitar acting like another keyboard, adding layers to the music. That's fine but sometimes I want to hear a guitar let rip. But I'm not a fan of metal so it's hard to find the right kind of music. This is just right. Funky too with a great bass line throughout.
Can definitely hear a bit of Tangerine Dream/Edgar Froese but the music is pretty well defined in its own right.

Yes! I agree! It's the old school rip guitar and not the boring neoclassical shred that seems to permeate prog these days.
Found this amazing compilation recently, looks to be up for streaming on most of the major sites.

I just got into Haken a couple of months ago, but I started with The Mountain and thought it was incredible.
Affinity is also amazing, but quite different. Maybe give that a shot? Wish I could be more help, I haven't gotten to the other albums yet.

Anybody listen to Neal Morse in here? I know his lyrics can come off kind of preachy but the music is damn good. His newest album Similitude of a Dream has been on my normal rotation for a couple of months and its great. One thing that kind of bothers me about the album is it sounds like they're trying hard to be Dream Theater at times. Its still damn good though.
I got into Haken last year and I think the Mountain is kind of overrated imo. Affinity imo is probably the easier one to get into, but Visions is really good. I actually haven't heard Aquarius yet since its been out of print until today actually so I dont have any opinion on that one yet.
Try Affinity.

Affinity for sure. Restoration EP is also great. Aquarius and Visions are good but the first has some problems (there's a reason Ross Jennings never tried growling in any of their following albums).
The Mountain is hot trash aside from maybe three songs
Also, for those interested, Soen also released their new album, Lykaia today.
Everyone thinks The Mountain is their best album. It's awesome, but I really, really, really like Affinity.
