Object Unto Earth The Grim Village is a progressive rock album tinged with math-rock and emo. Oh, and it's also about a frog and its knightly quest across the land. Yep.
What can I really do to make progressive metal more interesting? The answer is try to keep my ears open for albums where the "progressive" really does deserve its primacy. That is wholeheartedly and undoubtedly the case with Benthos' From Nothing.
