I've been looking for a specific type of music lately. List of things I'm looking for
Preferably progressive, but not necessary
technical guitar
Good and unique vocal (style)
Good writing (Not necessary, depending)
I'm looking most specifically at The (http://youtube.com/watch?v=RqlYwA97gdM&feature=related) Human (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ysox0Ea9CF0) Abstract (http://youtube.com/watch?v=GRA2Zv-ZvEw&feature=related) as well as Protest (http://youtube.com/watch?v=3GHG63gT-UA) the (http://youtube.com/watch?v=LAutUObokCM) Hero (http://youtube.com/watch?v=7JA8K1PDM5M&feature=related). Both of these bands have unique vocal styles when it comes to their genre, PTH especially. THA's is more unique in his use of all three styles of common vocals, which is to say entirely clean singing, scratchy yells, and full out screams. Both of them have technical guitar when, again, it comes to the genre. There's more technical, yeah, but normally you can't fit that into a normal metalcore song.
And to be totally honest, I'm of the opinion that each and every person in both bands is skilled to the point of me liking them. It's not like "The guitarist is good, but the bassist sucks".
Does anyone know of any other bands similar to these guys? I can't find a thing.
Also, for some humor, if you know the bands, I made a radio station on pandora that only included Protest the Hero, The Human Abstract, and Between the Buried and Me. You wanna know what it gave me for the first song?
Killswitch Engage.
I laughed. Hard. Don't get me wrong, I loves me some killswitch but thats so out of place. XD
Edit: Actual progress! On my own! And so soon after the start of this thread. I found something called "With Passion" that have ... most of what I'm looking for instrumentally but not vocally. Sad story.
