Fuiam Catha by Oi Polloi from 1999.

Despite the Gaelic name, only one song is in Gaelic. The rest is in English.

Pro-environmentalism, anti-fascist, Scottish anarcho-punk.

Fuiam Catha means Sound of Battle.

Octopath Traveler II OST by Yasunori Nishiki.

I'm not sure if you were looking only for bands or music with lyrics, but this is probably my favorite video game soundtrack of all time.

Samples:

Thanks for the samples! Those are good. That game also looks really interesting. I've only heard of octodad.

Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

Haken - The Mountain

King Crimson - Discipline

Thank You Scientist - Stranger Heads Prevail

[–] Evolone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Some solid prog recs here!! Porcupine Tree is excellent.

Do you like Dream Theater? Any thoughts on their latest release with Mike Portnoy back behind the drumkit?

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I used to listen to DT a lot, but I kinda stopped following them after Octavarium. Their latest release is honestly not really interesting to me. They’ve been kinda creatively stagnant for a while, even with Portnoy’e return. The songs just have the same repetitive formula and arrangements. Meanwhile newer bands like Haken (who are the most similar to DT in my opinion) have been making amazing music.

[–] Evolone 2 points 3 days ago

Oh 100% agree. Haken are some of the best in the game right now.
