Just because your favourite artist creates a side project where he uses saxophone and other gay instruments and not all the songs have blastbeats and growling, it won’t make his new album a progressive avantgarde rock masterpiece.

*sigh*

He even picked them for the American leg of this year’s Progressive Nation Tour, which fell through in the end due to the bankruptcy of SPV, distributor and owner of Beardfish’s record label InsideOut. Mr. Portnoy goes further showing his appreciation for the young Swedes on the aforementioned Transatlantic record where he plays a drum groove pretty similar to one from Beardfish’s “Sleeping in Traffic, Part Two” album.

Here’s a little medley of Beardfish’s “The Hunter” and Transatlantic’s “On The Prowl”. Enjoy!

Take a Judas Priest song that isn’t their biggest hit but still decent enough.

Running Wild vs The Wicker Man

Step two:
Take a Queensrÿche song that isn’t their biggest hit but still decent enough.

Spreading The Disease vs The Wicker Man

Step three:
Take a post 80s Maiden era like dumb chorus line that your singer can repeat endlessly. “Your time will come” will perfectly do it. There you have a new Iron Maiden song. Enjoy!

The Wicker Man

Caller: Hi.
Me: Hey, long time no hear.
Caller: Where is my Metal Church CD?
Me: What?
Caller: I lent it to you a few years ago.
Me: No, you did not.
Caller: Are you sure?
Me: Yes.
Caller. Ah, okay. How is the family?
