JÄY Metal slave Posts: 1480 From: USA	05.12.2012 - 20:06 JÄY Metal slave Posts: 1480 From: USA Looking for Prog bands with very little extreme influence, but still riff oriented - meaning no long drawn out mellow parts a la Dream theater and most other Prog bands (what i would refer to as boring parts). Something akin to Suspyre. Thanks Loading...

R'Vannith ghedengi Posts: 3099 From: Australia	06.12.2012 - 03:46 R'Vannith ghedengi Posts: 3099 From: Australia Alchemist for sure, short concise songwriting jam-packed full of sweet riffs. It's not really similar to Suspyre though.. Andromeda would be a good one too I think, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_DQHz-r898 Also check out Dan Swanö's "Moontower", Conception, Myrath, Pagan's Mind. And I'm not sure about this as it can be a bit drawn at times out I suppose but it never bores me: Kingcrow (their latest one) The new one by Soen is also pretty tight. This is also really riff happy: Loading...

Valentin B Iconoclast Posts: 10017 From: Belgium	07.12.2012 - 17:21 Valentin B Iconoclast Posts: 10017 From: Belgium I would have recommended the most recent 4 or so Symphony X albums as the most obvious riff-oriented prog metal band. they have songs with more guitar riffs that I can count, Odyssey being the best example. I see you already have SX in your list of favorite bands though so that's covered. I'm still posting this so that other people of the same mind know of them if for some reason they don't already ---- Sing me a song, you're a singer Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil.

Stabby Posts: 399 From: Canada	08.12.2012 - 09:27 Stabby Posts: 399 From: Canada Everyone mentioned good stuff already. I'll throw in Shadow Gallery, Beyond Twilight, Anubis Gate, and Adagio (stong neoclassical and power metal influence but it fits the bill). Loading...

JÄY Metal slave Posts: 1480 From: USA	14.12.2012 - 18:19 JÄY Metal slave Posts: 1480 From: USA Some great suggestions so far guys! I like Threshold's Day of Reckoning the best thus far Loading...

K†ulu Seeker of Truth Posts: 2553 From: Czech Republic	16.12.2012 - 09:15 K†ulu Seeker of Truth Posts: 2553 From: Czech Republic Try Oddland! Their debut (2012) is mind-blowing! Also, from the bands mentioned I would recommend To-Mera debut. That's some heavy prog. Also specifically Tall Poppy Syndrome by Leprous. And then Adagio, especially the first two albums (which are more proggy). I see that you already know Symphony X and Protest the Hero, so those 5 albums should keep you busy and exploring... ---- Savor what you feel and what you see Things that may not seem important now But may be tomorrow R.I.P.

Stabby Posts: 399 From: Canada	17.12.2012 - 02:19 Stabby Posts: 399 From: Canada Yeah! Dead Reckoning is amazing, anyone who likes Threshold is awesome I think I'll have to check out Oddland and To-Mera due to rave reviews from people who clearly have good taste. Loading...

I mentioned Shadow Gallery! But not the other one, I will add them to my list. Particularly Digital Ghosts and Tyranny from SG are very riffy, Room V and Carved In Stone are perhaps less riffy but still good. Loading...

BloodTears ANA-thema Posts: 11659 From: Portugal	17.12.2012 - 21:29 BloodTears ANA-thema Posts: 11659 From: Portugal And since we are talking about riffs, I have to include Into Eternity, you could start with "Buried In Oblivion" of course. Both Darkwater albums are a good choice too. ---- Written by BloodTears on 19.08.2011 at 18:29 Like you could kiss my ass. Loading...
