whoa, i was just reading a maudlin of the well interview and toby driver completely sums up how i feel about metal
"For example, I think most of what is considered "metal" is complete garbage, whereas my favorite music in the world is really good metal. It's just rare to find a metal band who really has that kind of amazing compositional ability"
and how I feel about progressive music too:
"I definitely see Maudlin of the Well as a progressive band, in that we are creating music that "makes use of...new ideas, findings, or opportunities" (Merriam-Webster!). Unfortunately I don't think the label "progressive," as a genre of music, is an accurate one."
its probably one of the best interviews i've read because tehy actually talk about interesting musical stuff rather than being like "yeah we're on tour" or "we think our new album is our best" over and over again. Read it, even if you haven't heard of the band (in which case you better be checking them out NOW)
