Dude! They get crapped on by "TRVE" Metalheads a lot, but I really dig Chevelle.
Literally just finished listening to the new album before I put this video on. It's frigging great! They've added some way Metaller (?) sounding riffs in certain spots and it really works. Cheers!

I followed you from a Threads post and had to come see if Panopticon made this week’s list. You didn’t disappoint! 😁

"I'm 44 years old and I'm a new french Canadian metalhead. I have cancer, so I have a lot of time to discover new music. Anthrodynia, man, that's the kind of music with substance, something rich. I think I'm a tech-prog death metal fan." I love your videos they help me in this huge metal world.

I just recently discovered this channel and I’ve been binge watching all the videos. You’re doing a great job, especially with the album descriptions. I also enjoyed seeing the Incite record unboxing. My new favorite channel, keep up the good work, I’m here for it!

I wasn't a fan of Chevelle until I saw them live. Wow, I could really tell how the label was holding them back for radio play. Been digging there stuff ever since.

CORE WARNING
Distant rerecorded and reproduced their entire tyrantophia album with the same title plus “Redux” and listening to the original vs new is night and day.
Also speaking of Distant, they write an entire novel for each of their albums based in the Lore of their music. Could check that out for a potential book recomendation.

Dude I recently saw Incite open for Hatebreed and they fucking killed it! I'm sorry their set wasn't longer!
