Mono - Hymn To The Immortal Wind
Caspian:
Sure, a bit of each song is. However, you'd be super hard pressed to describe most of their cleaner moments as "heavy". And there's heaps of those moments, and they're all rather long. Unless if you're one of these people that describes every clean guitar part that's in a minor key as "heavy", you'd be hard pressed to classify Mono as such, especcially with the fuckin' added on.
onewheelwizzard:
Mono are fuckin' heavy, man.

I disagree, but, even when they get heavy, it's not heavy like the bands they were touring with last year (High On Fire, Mastodon, etc) which is what I meant.

Oh, ick. Mastodon and High on Fire? Really? I can't think of any concerts in recent memory that utterly out of sync.
Yeah, no, Mono isn't really "heavy" per se, though their crescendos are some of the best in their genre. Though they're good about writing songs where you don't get the urge to skip to the middle, because the buildup is interesting/relevant enough to make you really want to pay attention.

I thought most people like more than one type of music? And honestly metal and the brand of post-rock Mono play aren't that far removed.

Yeah, but when you're at a show to see metal (especially if you're there to see mainstream metal) you're basically there to turn your brain off and dance. Mono is a very involved band, and I can see a bunch of poser metal assholes shouting a better band off the stage just because "it's not metal enough".
God sometimes I hate my stereotype.

That's not as 'out of sync' as Turisas and Dragonforce.

Ugh, don't even get me started on that one. D:
I went to that show and just left before Dragonforce got on.
So I guess I have heard of a show that was more out of sync than the Mono show. Thanks for reminding me xD
