About Lost in Vegas, ’m really interested in seeing them start to move further into the more experimental genres. I’d love to see them tackle Within the Ruins, Bongripper (only sex tape, it’s gotta be the shortest/most accessible imo), Cult of Luna, Isis, and maybe even Ghengis Tron (rip). It’s super cool seeing them fall in love with groove metal; it reminds me of falling in love with Lamb of God and Gojira for the first time, and how that very quickly led me to experience Grasping Air by Yob for the first time, which changed my musical life. It’s kinda fun going through my music and thinking about what George Ryan would find cool! It does bum me a little when fans are suggesting their favorite songs, and not the most accessible ones. Their Dream Theater vids are the perfect example. First, they did Metropolis pt 1, a super wanky prog metal concept song from the 90’s which was dream theater at their least accessible. Didn’t like it. Then, they revisited with As I Am, one of the 2000’s DT songs that’s HEAVILY influenced by Zakk Wylde and touches on groove/modern metal with some of the riffs. As that one is actually approachable and pretty cool, they called out the fans who’d suggested metropolis.

YOB - Grasping Air Thou - Summit (whole album) Ahab - Call of the Wretched Sea The Ocean - Precambrian (okay, more prog but amazing and they just came out with the sequel) Isis - Oceanic And for good measure, the list of non popular sds bands that changed my musical life - these are probably more recommended than the above since they’re not huge: Adrift for Days - The Lunar Maria KAMNI - A.T.O.M. and self titled Horseback - The Invisible Mountain Jack and the Bearded Fishermen - Places To Hide Judd Madden - Drown/Float Major Kong - Orogenesis Moss - Sub Templum Natural Snow Buildings - Shadow Kingdom (not sds, just cool drone) Snailking - Samsara Tank 86 - Rise Warhorse - As Heaven Turns to Ash 35007 - Sea of Tranquility
