Modern hard rockin’ “accessible” metal. Catchy songs, good driving beats, melodic guitars, but more of a commercial sound/feel.

A fully re-recorded version of The Crimson Idol. while I just have a single right now, it sounds great!

An epic 3 album symphonic rock opera, mostly rock opera-like, operattic vox, not a whole lot of real metal going on.

Good Tiger
We Will All Be Gone
Blacklight Media / Metal Blade Records
These guys just got announced on the tour opening for Protest the Hero… and there’s a little bit of a similarity in their sound… it’s kind of a modern metalcore, but this is a bit more prog, with high octave male vox. Not quite as heavy as Protest the Hero, but a similar vein

A power metal with a little tiny bit of a goth and doom. Good stuff.

Grooving brutal blackened death metal.
