  Have we talked about The Aristocrats, with Govin, and Minnemann, former stars of SW?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let me introduce you to a new band, Medulla.

Here is the biography from Bandcamp:

"Austin-Born, Berlin-Based Medulla is a group bent on creating music that is both emotionally accessible and intellectually stimulating - a marriage of meticulous songwriting, progressive and jazz influences, and an obsession with sounds and atmosphere."

I would add they are the best new band I have heard in a couple of years. They bring together progressive grunge sound of Anekdoten with the spacey sound of 'Signify'/'Stupid Dream' era Porcupine Tree with a dash of Krautrock in a unique and melodic combination.

Their debut album 'Remnant' is available in 24/44.1 from Bandcamp: https://medullaofficial.bandcamp.com

  Animals as Leaders - Soraya
For those of you who like complicated time signatures punctuated by nice melodies, give this a listen.

Animals As Leaders seems to be my third most listened artist since I started scrobbling to last.fm back in 2009.
Tosin Abasi is a wizard.
I don't know why, but their self-titled first album didn't click as much their second, and third. Still on the verge of their fourth and latest, perhaps on it they seem to emphasize technical ability over emotion, YMMV of course.
Weightless > The Joy of Motion > The Madness Of Many > Animals As Leaders.
 
AAS would be on the top of my list for discovering djent for certain!
Which got me thinking some similarities - how about this:
 
Stick Men - Hands parts 1-3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjh0fea8e_0
(start with pt. 1, and the YouTubes autoplay should sort you out, listen to pt. 3 if you only have time for one song.)
 
Djenty, but not quite - its-a prog!
And yeah, Tony Levin is a wizard too. Wouldn't mind seeing Abasi and Levin in the same group. At all.
