Being 37 years old and a huge fan of Prog Metal I can honestly say MetalStorm has been the best internet find I've ever made; I would have never discovered bands like Riverside, Agalloch, Disillusion, Dark Suns, Oceans of Sadness and Enochian Theory without MetalStorm's content and its members! So I ask you all, jot down some must-hear prog-metal and the like.

I don't visit this thread a lot, but I found a pleasant prog album and I thought I might recommend it although it's more of a prog rock album rather than a metal one


Thanks for the rec. I found one recently too. It's a pretty good song. I will have to check out the rest of the album.

"AFFECTOR is a multi-national progressive rock/metal project founded by German guitarist Daniel FRIES (ex-DIVINITY) and Dutch drummer Collin LEIJENAAR (NEAL MORSE, DILEMMA). When they started working on the debut CD ''Harmagedon'', US-based bass player Mike LEPOND (SYMPHONY X, SEVEN WITCHES etc.) and vocalist Ted LEONARD (SPOCK'S BEARD, ENCHANT, THOUGHT CHAMBER) joined them. ''Harmagedon'' was released in May 2012 through Inside Out Music and features four guest keyboardists - Alex ARGENTO, Neal MORSE (TRANSATLANTIC/FLYING COLORS), Jordan RUDESS (DREAM THEATER), Derek SHERINIAN (PLANET X/BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION)- but also the Polish orchestra 'Sinfonietta Consonus'."

This album is great!

A friend suggested them to me and he's nagging me constantly to give them a listen, I have a reason to do so now

Sure, I don't want the pure Prog stuff, I'm searching for Prog+*insert genre* kind of bands. I'll PM you once I finish with the handful of albums I still want to listen to

I Think one of the most beautiful album of the last years is Phlegethon by Kingcrow (one of my favourite prog/metal album ever!).

Hi all, I recently suggested a band to be added to the Metalstorm band base, which are quite awesome in my opinion. They're Delyriüm and come from Spain. I'll paste here the comment I posted about them:

"Delyriüm is an extremely talented band whose members are capable of composing catchy and delicate yet very technical music in the perfect proportions. Each of them masters their own instrument and they're all hard-working and humble people, which reflects in the way they've improved in the past year at live shows (I saw them live last night and I was speechless). Finally, the metal scene is saturated with bands, many of them average. I think this band is a gem sparkling among pebble stones. In my humble opinion, the world would be missing a huge piece of art and talent if we didn't help people discover them." Some of their songs:

- Quaerens Utopiam (no video of this one): http://www.reverbnation.com/delyrium/song/15826665-quaerens-utopiam

- Tu voluntad:

Hope you enjoy them and vote for them to be added!
