Why? That's a great song/great band. All I'm saying is my list of bands I like is pretty short compared to most.

Cynic album got moved to November 25. 
Also, there's rumors that Tony Teegarden rejoined Cynic, but I doubt that's true... |

I've recently gotten into Fates Warning. I'd always liked them but I never really realised just how fucking amazing The Spectre Within and Awaken the Guardian truly are until around a month ago. Such a shame that John Arch left the band.
Any bands similar to Arch-era Fates Warning? (I have Arch's solo EP btw).

This man has good taste!
Try Control and Resistance by Watchtower, which is more complex and actually has even higher vocals. Also, No Exit by Fates Warning is very similar to Arch-era albums. |

Already have both Watchtower albums and No Exit. I still think The Spectre Within and Awaken the Guardian are the best though.

I don't know how many people this will be news to, but as of October 6th, Christian Älvestam is no longer a member of Scar Symmetry.
| Wikipedia wrote: |
On October 6, 2008 the band announced they will continue with two vocalist instead of one with the following statement " When things went from bad to worse and we realized that it wasn't going to work out with Christian [Älvestam, former SCAR SYMMETRY vocalist], we were faced with two options; either calling it quits, or seizing the opportunity to take the next logical step in the evolution of our sound. We chose the latter.
"We've used both growls and clean vocals in our music since day one, and with each album we've pushed the envelope of what you can do vocally in a metal band to the point where a lot of the songs on 'Holographic Universe' [SCAR SYMMETRY's latest album] would be hard if not impossible to sing live. So the question is: Is it really possible to push the vocals even further and manage to perform everything live?
"The answer is YES! Instead of hiring a new singer, we decided — some of you might already have figured it out by now — to recruit TWO singers! The idea of having two vocalists in the band is something that's been in the back of our minds for a long time, and after auditioning and rehearsing with two of Sweden's best vocalists we're thrilled, excited, stoked-beyond-belief!!! |
So it should be interesting to see how that turns out.
However, Christian HAS joined another band, called Miseration, which I actually enjoy a LOT more than I've ever liked Scar Symmetry. I'd definitely recommend that to anyone who's into Scar Symmetry.
Anyway, I'm just glad I got to see them live before he left

I personally think the Late 70's/Early 80's were the best years, because they had bands like Priest,Sabbath, Metallica, and Maiden

My new favorite metal"core"/progressive band is Between the Buried and Me.
Colors might be one the best albums I have ever listened too.

I think you're out of luck in this regard. Some other bands you might like are Manticora and Beyond Twilight, both from Denmark. Also check out Office Of Strategic Influence. They are a prog rock band with electronic influences (from Moore) that feature Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore Mike Portnoy (he is no longer in the band, but played on both records ), Sean Malone (first CD), and Joey Vera (2nd CD).

This is it though, we lose Slayer after this album (so I hear). I was listening to a lot of pre-Reign Slayer yesterday and fell in love with Hell Awaits all over again. It seems like ever since Reign In Blood's popularity took off Slayer continued using that style and lost the touch they had on Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits. However, I still like that new song. Could use less Kerry King though.

It sounds worse than Christ Illusion, imo. And yeah, Hell Awaits is probably my favourite Slayer album. Reign In Blood is just too short and same-y. Hell Awaits has much more distinction, and is just a great thrash album all around. Make sure you give a good listen to Haunting The Chapel, specifically Chemical Warfare. Good god this song is incredible. It's so evil and powerful, and sounds like early Mantas/Death demo songs.
And this needs to be posted. I am so excited for this record.
