Lemme Get Some prog or tech Scifi Themed Metal (death, black, thrash, etc)

[SenorDingDong]

Big fan of the current scifi addiction of metal, looking to check out some cool new soundscapes.


Bands I love that are scifi themed:

Voivod
Vektor
Hoth
Equipoise
Alkaloid
Crystal Age
Nocturnus AD
Obliveon
Inanimate Existence
The Beast of Nod
Martyr
Nucleus
Artificial Brain
Slugdge
Xoth
Vexovoid


Lyrical themes are fine, and the weirder the better. Bonus points for full out concept albums.

[coreysMonster]

Albums:
Ziltoid the Omniscient, Dark Matters (Ziltoid 2)

Bands:
Galaktikon, Rings of Saturn, and of course ANCHORHEAD

You ever listen to Darkspace?

I like Darkspace II best.


Also, can't forget Arcturus!

 

[odibrom]

I thank you so much for this thread... I'll have hours and hours of interesting music to hear at work. are all these bands in Youtube, right?

 

[Lorcan Ward]

Also, can't forget Arcturus!

Keldian:


Luca Turilli's solo album Prophet of the Last Eclipse is one of my fav sci-fi themed musical albums:



Newer Rhapsody of Fire but I don't think thats any good.

Definitely not my jam, not really into that stuff. I'll keep my reasons why to myself, but not a fan of that stuff.

That new Revocation was so fuckin good.

Origin I have a love hate with, some of their stuff I can't get through, some is pretty good. Gonna look into those others since they match the criteria quite well.

Ah, thanks but not my thing. Little too much power metal, and then straight djent. Two things I can't really get into. I appreciate the work put into what everyone writes, I just don't dig it personally.

MF Time Ghoul

Time Ghoul is so fucking solid, man

You ever listen to Darkspace?

I like Darkspace II best.


Also, can't forget Arcturus!

I dig me some Darkspace!

 

[vilk]

straight djent

No

 

[BIG ND SWEATY]

+1 for mentioning Xoth! I NEVER see anyone mention them but they're so fucking good! Invasion of the Tentacube rips from start to finish. Not sure if this'll matter to you but David, the main guy behind Vektor, is a wife beating shit bag. Learning that really soured my enjoyment of the music.

Alrakis


Dargar


Wormed


Demon Goat (the music is MUCH better than the name might imply)
https://demongoat.bandcamp.com/album/bitrot

La Torture Des Tenebres
https://greymatternoise.bandcamp.com/album/choirs-of-emptiness

Cosmic Reef Temple
https://cosmicreeftemple.bandcamp.com/album/age-of-the-spaceborn

There's more I could link but I'll leave it at these for now.

 

[KnightBrolaire]

ah shit, how did I forget wormed. I was just listening to them a few days ago


I mean Exocrine is kind of Sci-fi inspired too:

 

[gunch]

Also



And (Buddhist mythology and space)

 

[wankerness]

Oh man, "The Scream that Tore the Sky" is so damn good. I remember thinking it was like Enslaved meets Spiral Architect or something. I haven't heard it in YEARS. I know what I'm listening to tonight!

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

How about this?

 

[coreysMonster]

Alex Jones Prison Planet is amazing. Something so silly has no right being that good.

 

[vilk]

I don't really listen to them much these days but Hypocrisy is all about aliens.

 

[SenorDingDong]

That's what I'm talking about, boys


And fuck yeah, Tentacube is a monstrous album.

+1 for mentioning Xoth! I NEVER see anyone mention them but they're so fucking good! Invasion of the Tentacube rips from start to finish. Not sure if this'll matter to you but David, the main guy behind Vektor, is a wife beating shit bag. Learning that really soured my enjoyment of the music.

No

I opened that Exotype and that's all I heard, randomly spaced open notes on an 8 string
