New Prog Metal Album

The news you've all been waiting for! The new progressive metal band, Audassy, has recently released their first album, Reflections, and it is free to download and listen to. There are only three songs, but they are fairly lengthy as progressive metal music tends to be. I generally don't listen to songs that are over five minutes because I get bored, but I was not bored with these at all (there is something to be said about progressive metal not being repetitive). The songs are really tight with great melodies and lyrics. Give 'em a listen. You can hear Dream Theater and Seventh Wonder influences, I think.

  2. Awesome! Hey, if it's under six minutes, it's not progressive, right?

  4. Awesome music!!! I admit I keep the radio tuned to Air1 (Christian rock and worship) and I miss out on some great music like this sometimes. Thanks for sharing!

    1. It's hard for me to find Christian bands I like, because I find they start to sound the same. I like this because it is very different and not repetitive.

  6. "Progressive metal was a acquired taste for me."... total understatement for me!

    I wish I could remember how many YEARS I made fun of my friend Damien when he would talk about Dream Theater with their shrieking singer and 5 minute guitar solos inside 20 minute songs. Then all of a sudden they just clicked. I now own almost all their records and have seen them live twice.

    Audassy sounds good, thanks for sharing! I'm glad I stumbled across your log, you have interesting interests.
