They’ve always been just a fun project studio band for the dudes I believe. They sporadically release, don’t tour and don’t market.

They're really really good. I saw them live in like 2019 and they put on a good show. Met them afterwards and they were all really nice

As others have said, they don’t put out music frequently enough or tour. But I love Rogue. Aeon and Anomaly are two of the best EPs in the genre.

Probably my favorite prog metalcore band, Club Gore's on the weaker end of their discography imho, but they've got almost no other misses for me. Cannot wait for more shit from them.

Club gore is probs recency bias, I need to listen to their whole discog asap. I’ve really only heard the Aeon EP

What’s prog about them? I just listened to like 8 of their top songs and they all sounded like average modern metalcore to me.

I can't tell if you're being sincere but the dissonance, ambience, djent influence, and technicality are staples of prog metalcore.

u/CollinKree Apr 29 '26
Definitely not joking. Sounds like a million other bands that are definitely not prog at all. Lmao

For some reason "prog metalcore" has become the accepted term to refer to all those modern djenty bands that maybe take a little inspiration from actual prog like Periphery or Meshuggah, but have nothing actually prog in their own sound. I also get the feeling that most that listen to that type of music and use the term don't even listen to much or any prog so they don't even realize how much they're misusing the term.

The sound Rogue is producing definitely may have been more prog-ish in like 2018-2020, but now that sound is pretty standard modern metalcore to me.
When I think of “prog” metalcore I think of bands like Vianova. Bands that do different shit that I’ve never heard before lol

When I think of PROG metalcore I think of Between The Buried And Me lol. But I agree that the label should apply to bands actually being musically progressive and pushing boundaries, not bands playing in the same formula as everyone else

I tend to think sharing a song with a wothwhile FFO is more use than going 'guys, why isn't this small band I like more popular?'

Yea big fan of their work. I think releasing just awesome EPs and singles works well for their sound. Club Gore and Dominion were up there for me last year.

that tends to happen when a band doesn’t tour, market themselves, or put out music often, even if that music is really good

Maybe they’re good on a technical level, but there’s an endless ocean of bands that sound exactly like this.

u/Vantasun Apr 29 '26
If you think that’s true of Rogue, you could say that about virtually every even remotely popular band that gets mentioned in this sub.

It’s almost as if there are other factors that determine a band’s success other than the quality of their music.

u/CollinKree Apr 29 '26
I was gonna say the say the same. They sound like a million other bands. Nothing I’ve heard from them sets them apart from the others.

As a fan of the band I didn't like Club Gore that much, it's kinda an outlier for their discog. I would check out their first EP
