I personally find most metal cringy (maybe I haven’t listened to enough). Regardless, I really like how King Crimson contrasts really quiet moments with long builds and explosions heaviness on larks pt 1 and 2.
Have any recommendations for albums with these features? (i.e. don’t overuse heaviness) Like Henry cow but metal?

Joshua Gomez
Thank you user will check these out
Ethan Reed
Wow thanks I’m really digging this
Oliver Kelly
wow this botch album is crazy
Logan Gomez
Listen to Jute Gyte
Nolan Flores
This album alone creates massive hemorrhoid explosions on those /metal/tards, just like any TDM album. The more maximallst, the better.
Eli Jones
Tool is way out of King Crimson's league
Logan Collins
woah there buddy
Julian Nguyen
fuck off, PUSSY
if you don't go all out you're a fucking idiot and shouldn't even listen to a genre you sound like you don't actually care about
Thomas Diaz
what do you mean by this lol? I'm just asking for recs
Connor Davis
You need to go back.
Lincoln Ross
holy shit this botch album is so good thank you
Joshua Morales
Ved Buens Ende
Jason Smith
Give this a go. Very prog edge on it, and a personal favorite.
Samuel Rivera
Korn
John Cruz
Devin Townsend Project's Deconstruction is a good mix of heavy and calm.
but some parts are meme tier desu
Aaron Gonzalez
Ethan Gutierrez
I would also recommend Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue if you want something similar to this, but significantly stripped down

Jakko is the best vocalist they've ever had, and their recent live albums are all killer. It's really telling that you pretend to like Yea Forumscore in absence of personal taste but wouldn't recognize a decent performance if it was spoonfed to you.
Adam Barnes
listen to opeth. if you want more standard death metal look at the beginning of their discography and the further you go the farther from death metal they get and the more prog they become
Nicholas Miller
King Crimson - The Power to Believe is their most metal
John Jenkins
You sound like a faggot
Christopher Davis
Not that fella who recced it but you guys should REALLY check out the EP that came out after the album too.
Brody Evans
Most post-metal, but this record in particular.
Parker Cox
You might like neurosis, cult of luna, year of no light, sleepytime gorilla museum, mournful congregation, kayo dot, maudlin of the well, obscura (the gorguts album, not the band), lykathea aflame, blut aus nord (777 era in particular)
Nothing is as good as prime KC but well...
Listen to more metal and you'll gain a deeper form of understanding for it, even its cheesiest form (except sympho europower I guess)
Good recs
Great album but you're still a fag
Sebastian Edwards
The performances are great I agree. I’m actually going to see them Tuesday. The newer material just doesn’t start up to the old stuff though.
Camden Kelly
If you like King Crimson and other classic prog rock and want proggy/avantgarde metal in a somewhat similar vain, suggest checking out Sigh, one of the pioneers of avantgarde metal and progressive extreme metal.

If we're saying avant, I would definitely say this fits the bill, but it's a lot different of a listen than the other albums mentioned. It is very repetitive, and DUDE, but it has a lot of merit for how it builds up each movement, and blatantly tone-hunting on a recording
Gabriel Gomez
>start listening to this
>DROP OUT OF LIFE WITH A BONG IN HAND
this is going to be a long 50 minutes
