9 – Songs Of Fire And Ice Noyan December 21, 2015 Podcast Welcome back to Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This week we talk about the new amazing tracks by Ihsahn, Obscura and David Bowie, and the failure of Soundwave Festival. Then I provide a live show review of the Native Construct/Intronaut/Enslaved/Between the Buried and Me tour, followed by a conversation about the positive aspects of live music we didn’t touch on last week. We then end with an extensive discussion on the links between video games and metal, how they share the same faults, and purity of authorial intent. Enjoy!

Enjoyed the top 100 lists. Noyan, Sigh has always been a band I’ve been meaning to get around to but never have. You have In Somniphobia in your top 10, you think that would be a good starting point for a new listener? Eden glad to see Sieges Even’s Art of Navigating in your top 10, that album is so good. I think its one of the most emotional albums off all time, gets me in the feels everytime. You checked out Agent fresco’s new one? Is it just me or do you here a lot of that Sieges sound from Navigating on there, in both how the vocals and the rhythm section? I quickly did a rough top 30, limited myself to one album for any given band. Its in no particular order other than the top 3. Dream Theater – Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence Pain of Salvation – The Perfect Element Pt 1 Fates Warning – A Pleasant Shade of Grey (Kevin Moore plays keys on this one guys) Agalloch – The Mantle Isis – Oceanic Between the Buried and Me – Colors The Gathering – How to Measure a Plant Anathema – A Natural Disaster Porcupine Tree – Lightbulb Sub Katatonia – Viva Emptiness Opeth – Morningrise Saturnus – Paradise Belongs to You Enslaved – Below the Lights My dying bride – The Angel and the Dark River Riverside – Second Life Syndrome Wolverine – Cold Light of Monday (I think you could get into these guys Eden) Shape of despair – Angels of Distress Virgin black – Requiem Mezzo Forte Funeral – From These Wounds Marillion – Script For A Jester’s Tear Swallow the sun – The Morning Never Came Leprous – Tall Poppy Syndrome Haken – The Mountain Sieges Even – The Art of Navigating by the Stars Green Carnation – Light of Day, Day of Darkness In the Woods… – Omnio Steven Wilson – The Raven that Refused to Sing Forest of Shadows – Departure Mournful Congregation – The Monad of Creation Ahab – The Call of the Wretched Sea Reply Nayon December 22, 2015 In Somniphobia might be a bit too dense, try Hangman’s Hymn, especially if you love a power metal influence. If not, Imaginary Sonicscape or In Somniphobia will do. Shoutouts to having Leprous’s TPS and Enslaved on your list! Reply Eden December 22, 2015 Hey dude, Sieges Even is so good, I agree! One of the best prog bands of the last twenty years or so. Agent Fresco’s Destrier is a fixture of my current listening list; I love it! I do hear a bit of Sieges in it, especially in the vocals, but I think that the major influence on it is Leprous rather than Sieges. Same with VOLA for example. However, Sieges of course had a large impact on the scene (they were a musician’s band, widely known among other bands) so it’s not too far fetched to say that! Your list is pretty damn solid. TPS is a great choice; such an underrated album. You’ve also picked the correct Porcupine Tree and PoS albums, good job! I got to ask you about Anathema though: how is it not Weather Systems?! Thanks for commenting and for listening! Reply MelbCro December 24, 2015 I do love Weather Systems, but I don’t think it would even make my top 5 Anathema albums. That just shows what a strong discography they have. I saw that Arcane disbanded a few days ago, would be cool if you discuss them on the next podcast.
