I want to go on a picnic with these guys (just don't invite the men on suits)

They really pull off the vintage camera look well. I don't like the song, though. :(

@willy1957 lol there is nothing offensive about saying some band reminds you of Camel. It's an honor, and I can see where you're coming from, although this reminds me more of modern prog like Opeth and Riverside.

willy vlyminck

It is a nice song,altrough they remind me strong of Camel , Moonmadness era, altrough this is not an offence,and there is nothing wrong with it,

Psychedelic Trainwreck

Beauty = pleasure? Really? I´m not sure about the English definition of "Beauty". But the official Spanish (I'm a Spanish-speaking person) definition of "Belleza" ("Beauty") talks about SPIRITUAL delight/enjoyment/pleasure. I must admit that I do enjoy Opeth's "harmonized" grows (as opposed to "out of tune" growls - think of the first In The Woods album, for example, which I don't enjoy at all), but that enjoyment is a morbid pleasure and I think of beauty as something lofty/noble.

And it is also true that progressive rock scene is a little bit too pretentious as to this beauty obsession, with some exceptions in the subgenres. That is kind of what I dislike and appreciate alike.

perplexedmoth

I agree with you, although you got -6 down thumbs. "Beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction." I can freely admit that there IS indeed pleasure in the disharmony, the distorted, asymmetrical and the grotesque. This is purely a socially constructed and, moreover, individually modifiable concept. The point is in the "meaning" which also brings about aesthetics and beauty.

epicprogrocker

About musical styles: Yes, you can find a lot of similarities in harmony between some prog rock and extreme metal bands, but in contemporary/modern popular music the main elements that express the intention of the artist are sound production and vocal style, not the harmony or the arrangements. I tend to like better the rock/pop kind of vocals than classical/opera but I find in both the intention to be beautiful/artistic.

epicprogrocker

If you ask Slayer or Venom (pioneers of extreme metal I think, correct if wrong) if they consider their music art or beauty, then they probably give you a big laugh as a reply. I don't think they reply you something like "yes, our music is such an unconventional kind of beauty that "oversimplistic/shallow" people can´t understand". Come on!

epicprogrocker

About art, beauty and my oversimplistic perception of them: for me it's all about what the artist or so-called artist means, about what he/she intends. What is the intention you expect from a true artist? To enchant you, to break your heart? Or to make you feel a "rebel" by horrifiying your parents? Come on!

epicprogrocker

Despite the fact that the members of Winds came from black metal bands, there is nothing in your comparison that make me think of extreme metal (the point of my approach is the difference between extreme metal and prog rock or any other kind of artistic music). About me: If you judge me an "oversimplistic" person, it's ok, I can live with it, but I think I could explain it in a better way in the following point:

epicprogrocker

First of all, excuse me for my English. It doesn't make justice to this debate, but I'll do my best to explain my point of view: About the bands: I like Univers Zero, don't know Shub Niggurath, have heard the first Winds album a long time ago (2003) and wasn't really my cup of tea and was a Rhapsody fan when I was 15/16 years old (2000/2001) especially their first 2 records.

epicprogrocker

I think the reason why we loved Beauty And The Beast when we were kids is because in the end that "beast" is "beautiful" too. I respect your opinion, but I'm completely inflexible in this point: Art is about beauty.

Pete Rice

This song is about surviving a painful relationship that you didn't want to end, but the other person did. The men in suit chasing the singer represent negativity. If you stay in a negative place, you attract it. If you can see beyond it everything, while not being positive, you can, and will move on. Great song and video.

atomicrooster

I see what you mean about metal being anti-beautiful, but i see it as being anti-balanced. I see Most rock musicians(including progressive) to be sitting in the middle(balanced or natural) with metal and pop music as opposite extremes. My favorite music, reggae, is very expressive and beautiful, an can compare it to pink floyd, elp, king crimson, etc in that way.
