Communic

I read their website last night, they are touring as well. I'll have to keep an eye out for that album, almost all the metal "Concept" albums I've heard are first class.

This Samuel Arkan's Origins is a supergroup of metal artists....



I am going to keep my eyes peeled for the release.

I'll let you do the snooping you can let me know when it arrives...

OK....I will let you know, it should be an awesome album and collaboration

Very good band. I know all their albums. On the last album from 2008, Payment of Existence, they are trying to loose a little bit the Nevermore influences from the first two albums. But still they have a long way to reach the perfectionism of Nevermore albums. Anyway this metal genre needs more bands like Nevermore or Communic.

^^I listened to Communic before I heard of Nevermore so for me it would sound the other way around. I don't let those kind of similarities bother me, there are so many bands that are influenced by their predecessors or peers as long as they write good songs and put their heart and soul into their music that is all I can ask for.

I do have 7 Nevermore albums, but I haven't played any of them yet B.o.b...

Me neither. As I said Communic is an excelent band and we still need more bands like this one.

Maybe you should start to listen to them and if you like Communic I'm sure you will enjoy Nevermore too .

^^I'll load them on my Sansa and give them a listen, thanks B.o.b.

Communic is an grande prog metal band. I wouldn't say Nevermore is that similar to Communic, unless you are referring to the last 2 releases from Nevermore, those are more low tuned and progressive. Nevermore has a lot more experimental music than Communic. Still the similarities are present.



This song is from Communic's debut album "Conspiracy of Mind"

History Reversed



This song goes between double pedal and thrashing guitars, to prog/melodic. I have to say I do love the vocals of Oddleif Stensland

I agree, these guys jump from style to style quite a lot.

Even Wikipedia says so!
