Tesseract is great, seconding that choice. Animals as Leaders for djenty instrumental goodness.

It's not djenty at all and I'm biased because they're my favorite band, but if you like progressive metal "Colors" from Between theBuried and Me is basically the progressive metal magnum opus as far as I'm concerned

This should be pretty easy, I need some new gym music and all kinds of metal fit well with me. Favorites right now are Soilwork, In Flames, Atreyu, Cradle of Filth, Children of Bodom... I know there's more similar bands out there, can anyone help out? I guess the pattern is heavy riffs between melodic choruses

Get:

The Fall of Ideals by All That Remains
End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage
The War Within by Shadows Fall
Holographic Universe by Scar Symmetry
Sirens by It Dies Today (this is admittedly a really guilty pleasure)
The Truth by Bleeding Through
The Oncoming Storm by Unearth
Undoing Ruin by Darkest Hour
Character by Dark Tranquillity
Tomorrow We Die Alive by Born of Osiris

That should last you a while.

I'm psyched. Most of the time, if I'm listening to a metal album and I think it sounds awesome, Jens has had something to do with it.

I'll post a youtube link once Jens has done everything and do a blatant plug then ;)

Counterpoint: apparently Jens Borgen is producing the new Dragonforce album which is destined to be suck, so apparently you can't turn anything to gold

I'm not entirely sure I would call the second song death metal and man does it have an annoying drum sound.

The following suggestions are going to be older bands that don't sound nearly as polished as those you like, but on the plus side the vocalists mostly sound better. :v:

You might dig those.

I kinda dig the hollow drums for some reason :shrug:, your first and fourth suggestions were a bit rough around the edges production wise but the others were solid, thanks!

Like a decade ago, and they weren't all that great to begin with.

Everything up to and including Clayman is excellent, the rest of it is debatable but mostly poo poo. STYE and Come Clarity were okay I guess and RtR had a handful of good songs but most of their recent output has been in my listen once and never again territory.

Just how bad is In Flames now? I live in a fantasy world where their latest album was Colony. And it's mediocre at best. The Jester Race is where it's at. Whoracle too.
I haven't heard anything newer, but I will, Monday night, when I see them in Atlanta at the Opeth show. Will it make me sad and angry if I pay attention to the In Flames set?

Pretend it's a different band. If you liked Colony, you will probably like Clayman, but it's going to be very hit-or-miss (mostly miss) for everything afterwards.

This. Listen to Clayman, enjoy Clayman. You could maybe even tolerate one or two songs off Soundtrack, maybe. But don't try.

The oldest song they seem to be playing is off Clayman and that's one of the songs that sounds more like the new stuff than the rest. So you'll probably get really angry at them.

Just refuse to look at the stage and you won't know better because they don't even sound the same vocally. If you don't see the logo you'll never know.

I actually personally love Soundtrack but I know I'm definitely in a minority. F(r)iend is one of my favorite tracks of theirs. There's a few tolerable tracks on RtR too but not enough to listen to the whole thing. If you want the abridged post-Clayman decent songs, I would say it's:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7kqx0FMMMo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrOcvgirsTc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDH8eS-iIDY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDexCGGuIs0

Everything else is, unfortunately, poo poo. You may even think the 4 above are poo poo, in which case definitely don't listen to anything post-Clayman at all.
