Today the Pink Floyd's album "The Dark Side of the Moon" turns 50. I would say it's one of the most striking albums of my life, I basically grew up with the songs on this album because of my father who was constantly listened to. He had some Pink Floyd vinyls.

My favorite music has always been "Us and Them", and nothing better than listening to it today: https://youtu.be/GKiLEgAzFDQ
"I'll see you on the dark side of the moon" - "Brain Damage"

Thinking about it, does my uncles still have those vinyls of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath? Well, there is something genetic in my family of being great rock and heavy metal lovers

That was surprisingly good.

Been a while since I've listened to some pure BM (usually revolve around blackened death bands). Props for having the sense of burying the vocals underneath the music.

Myself I've been playing Metric's "Speed the Collapse" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jiQ1QpNSkA) at least a handful of times a day.

La-la, la, la, la, la, lie
“Vicarious” by TOOL

Since Portnoy is back at Dream Theater...

Dream Theater is very fun. Wasn't familiar with that one yet, good song

Been listening to Primal Fear - Infinity a lot lately

ANGRA's album "Rebirth" turned 22 this week. Nothing better than listening to the homonymous track: https://youtu.be/UEI32VzuzBI

Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds
18 minute metal ballad about a real world airship crash

When I listened to this song for the first time it was a bit of a shock for me: it's not something I'd expect from Iron Maiden. It's a very progressive track, I feel a lot of Pink Floyd influence in it.

Sometimes I like to listening to "The Scarecrow" by Avantasia. It's quite melodic.

ooh, Scarecrow is also really good. Although my favorite from the album is probably Another Angel Down

According to my Spotify Wrapped, the song I most listened this year was Slipknot - "Psychosocial".

I know this is a late reply, but thanks for checking it out! And I appreciate the feedback. I agree with you that vocals are better when mixed below everything else. I'm not a fan of constant loud vocals in metal.
