  • All right! Another free MP3 sampler from Amazon, this time from InsideOut, the premiere label for progressive metal. InsideOut is host to (or has hosted) pretty much all of the top tier prog metal bands that emerged after Dream Theater, Queensryche and Fates Warning established the genre.

    This sampler features 12 songs from new (or relatively new) InsideOut releases. You get songs from established names like Symphony X, Devin Townsend, Ayreon, Pain of Salvation, Kings X, Shadow Gallery, Tangent and Dream Theater vocalist James LaBrie (this one’s nothing new, though), as well as newer artists Redemption (featuring Fates Warning’s Ray Alder), OSI (another Fates Warning side project), Riverside and Aspera. The music ranges from straight progressive rock to full-on progressive power metal, but it’s all very high quality stuff.

    If you’re at all interested in progressive rock and metal, this is a can’t miss offer. 12 songs by the best artists in the genre are yours at the click of a mouse.

  • Tess:

    Download it. It’s free. Heavy rock. I downloaded it just to get the King’s X song. It’s a cut above all the other songs in my opinion. Been a King’s X fan for a long time.

  • this album length sampler just adds to “another reason” why I look forward each week to e-mail newsletter with free songs, EPs & LPs, another reason why I hope Amazon.com continues to realize that offering a taste for free will bring around many more music fans and, hopefully, more and more of those fans will realize what Amazon.com is doing is a cut above the rather narrow business approach of iTunes …. by the way, the music on this sampler ain’t bad

  • Why not? Just check it out and see how you like it. The worst that could happen is you wasted a few hundred thousand bytes of data sent over network traversing states and thousands of geographic miles over cable the thickness of your arm. Millions of processor cycles later you have yourself 12 free tracks of music by slightly less talented/known artists worth the exact price it costs amazon to post some links to a few hosted files containing millions of 1′s and 0′s that make up the context of this particular emotional excretion called “modern music”.

  • If you like rock, hard rock this isn’t it. It isn’t even headbanger. It’s just bad. Not a keeper in the bunch. Sorry.
