spinnydiscGood morning Minifriends! Let’s talk some more about the clear disc that you saw in my previous post.
Over the past weekend, I returned to Euroblast Festival in beautiful Cologne once more, and great times were had as always. Euroblast has been a fixed point in my life since I first went in 2012 . It’s such a wonderful event full of people who are extremely passionate about music and who like to share their passion with others. I have so many great memories of these events, and that inspired me to revisit the bands that I was super into around a decade ago.
I made this disc to celebrate the Djent wave of the early 2010s, where bands such as Periphery, Tesseract and Animals as Leaders fused the song structures of Progressive Metal with the lower tuned guitars of metalcore and some elements of ambient and even jazz. This wave completely swept me off my feet when it broke, and the music of that era still deeply touches me.
None of the bands of that era played the festival this year, but in terms of fresh blood, OU from China (last slide) really stood out with a very fresh and innovative sound. Avralize was another surprising new band for me, go check them out!
