I’m in a mood for listening jazz metal and feeling open for recommendations!

@basssounds What do you call jazz metal exactly, do you mean metal with progressive elements? Is there such a band that you already like?

And what about the singing: is the black metal or death metal type of singing/screaming fine for instance, or would you rather have something instrumental?

In the meantime, though I wouldn't qualify Baron Crâne as #Metal, their first album is amazing (harsh/noise, groovy, and bass heavy).

basssounds,

@turbobob thanks! I will give that a spin already! I’m in a totally unknown territory here. I feel like listening to something heavy, melodic or harmonically complex but yet not looking for something subtle when it comes down to dynamics 🫣

@basssounds Nice! I hope you'll find something you'll enjoy :)

I'm very tempted to recommend my favourite song from Mastodon then:

It is from the concept album 'Leviathan', based on Moby Dick. This is at the end of the album, when they finally fight the white whale, fall into the sea, can't breathe and are terrified, as the beast is relentlessly attacking them. Some screams are to be expected.

basssounds,

@turbobob that is exactly what I was looking for!

Oh, wonderful :)

I'll give you a second one, Blood and Thunder from the same album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnwZca8z9II

The chorus outlines a fully diminished seventh chord, as pointed out by Doug Helvering (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1INymfbvAY).

Bonus: old but worth seeing, from 0:43 to 1:28:

As you go further back in time, the albums get heavier and heavier, if you move forward, it gets closer to prog rock. I personally prefer Leviathan, Remission, and Blood Mountain.

Cheers!

If there's too much screaming, note that Sam Abbott made an instrumental cover of it on the piano, which is also great:
