Eww, great list John. About half of these I have never heard of because I have fallen behind on my prog metal studies! I gotta get back into it...

Huge props for these names! Mind Key's "Pulse For A Graveheart" is so damn enjoyable. I should check out the rest though, I've heard of some, but never listened to them, and some I haven't even heard of.

Damn, thats a cool list. Its been years since I was a prog head. I just saw a list with Circus maximus on it and had the sudden urge to listen to some of my old favourite prog albums, but I can't seem to find any of the older stuff
I would add OSI, disillusion and karnivool to that list as well.

We could name 25 more bands too couldn't we? Alot of nice prog metal over the years!

Tru dat. I mean there are always good bands that you find over the years that you forget about.
I used to be a big prog head, but over the years my preferences have changed, I still like listening to most of those bands though.

I can say the same thing. Rush is my favorite band of all time and Fates Warning a top five. I love Riverside and Porcupine Tree and Subsignal but I just haven't had the heavy dosage of prog metal like I usually do. Weird.

Hmmm if you want more prog bands and suggestions/recommendations and anything prog visit progarchives.com Best prog site ever.

I can't seem to make it function for me, I'm used to the MS layout so I have no idea how to check out new releases only or stick to what interests me or find logic in their genre tags. How do you search for new prog metal in progarchives?

I don't think you can search for prog metal by year.

Which probably explains why I haven't been able to

Well there are a lot of smart people on that site devoted to prog and what not. You should join the forums and post a thread about prog metal recommendations and what not.

Are you recruiting? I think this is a MS violation!

Nah, it's not
I have my own little league of proggy people on MS who search for good releases with me... luckily, as this is a good era for prog metal, I don't have to search far and wide.

Well, I've been on the website quite a few times over the years as a guest. IMO, it needs a major overhaul - it looks like shit, needs more organization - it is a great source for prog recs!

I know we're in the prog METAL thread but...


I think it's safe to say progsters in general are opposed to things looking good

Yep. A lot of info but the website design is the fucking worse, can't stand it.

yeah the design is lacking comfort, but their lists and ratings are pretty accurate and provide decent suggestions based on progressive subgenres. Some of their genre-labeling is a bit off, but whatever. I found some good bands through that website.

I agree their is a ton of info but it's presentation is piss-poor. It mine as well be in a foreign language...

Rush is the best form of "heavy" prog especially in '70's. What a legend!!

Hey, prog reviewers, check this out.

Released this year.
Maybe not outstanding, but they surely deserve some attention. They provided a bunch of kickass groovy riffs in that debut.

Hey, prog reviewers, check this out.

It's been on my radar for quite a while.

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
