It changes between 4/4 and 3/4, so you could say it's 4/4, 7/4 and 13/4.

I don't think the song's long enough to be considered prog. Needs to be at least 13 min

I'm not really a prog metal kinda guy, but I'm a prog guy. You'd be impressed by how awesome 13 minutes or more can be. I'd have to agree, though. Length doesn't necessarily make prog what it is, though it is quite characteristic of it.

Prog isn't about time It's about a different way to show the music

That is probably the most expressive playing I've ever heard coming from an 8-string guitar. Most of the time, it's just these hacks playing these atonal, start/stop riffs on the low F# string that sound like dinosaur farts. In this case, Rob's playing is very melodic, and the bass strings just accent that instead of being the main focus, which sounds quite refreshing.

you could say the same about all his solo work as well

Even after more than two years I keep coming back to this track. Thank you for this!

Prog is more than just nutty time signatures, do to longer songs and extended structures, it creates a world within the music (Gustav Mahler had a phrase for it but I forgot). The only genres that really pull it off are prog, Ambiant, classical (if it can suck you in), and psychedelic stuff. I think the repetitiveness of this keeps in from being really in the spirit of prog. Still a great song though

"In 1907, Mahler met Jean Sibelius, whose symphonies are the polar opposite of Mahler's: compressed, distilled, self-referential. The composers discussed the meaning of the symphony. Sibelius admired its "profound logic and inner connection". Mahler completely disagreed: "A symphony must be like the world," he said. "It must embrace everything." And Mahler really did turn that all-encompassing embrace into sound: in a piece like the Eighth Symphony, you hear the whole world, in a range of references from ancient hymns to Goethe's Faust, and in music that is the apotheosis of every large-scale musical form: symphony, oratorio, mass, even opera."

+Richard Harrold that's awsome, I haven't heard it yet. (I was working through the Mahler symphonies, and I got like partway through the 3rd, but then I kinda put it on hold for Brahms symphonies) btw I found it and the two phrases were "world of its own" and "sound of a distance"

Ryan Sanders Also check out Bruckner - I especially love the 7th. My local composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams (who called Mahler "a tolerable imitation of a composer"!) was nothing short of a genius - but the biggest, grandest of the lot was by an amateur from the Midlands - Havergal Brian, whose Gothic Symphony has only been performed a handful of times - makes Mahler Eight look like a string quartet.

I know I already commented but I literally listen to this song almost every day. Such a good collaboration and amazing sound!

I thought it needed an earth shattering solo. Waited for it, never came.

The best thing about your music rob, is the fact your not afraid to use the whole fretboard, its amazing,. Keep doing what your doing.

So good man. I need to go practice now...

This is an absolutely beautiful song. I'm glad people like you are on KZread and can reach out to around the world. Thank you for being an inspiration - all the way from Angola.

I really want more songs with pete! Metal Town please!

Guys, this riff at 2:04 and 3:46 is pure magic. So inspirational, so true, so deep, you really achieved something huge there, everytime I listen to it, immediate chills, I close my eyes, warmness all over my body, but in a really special way, it's not like it sounds good it's that it says something fucking true, masterpiece.

still listening to this masterpiece

You guys should definitely write together more. Some serious potential here. Also Contortionist similarities make me smile

1:11 .. this god damn part sounds so fucking amazing!! I tried to pick like that on my guitar ... end up at the hostpital :(

this song completely blew my mind on how melodic it is and hypnotizing and the heavy parts made the song sound even more amazing!

Re finding this is a blessing, it's like I just heard it for the first time. Amazing

I'm still listening in 2021.
