Hiho everyone!

I like progressive music, Specialy some avantgarde/progressive metal and core acts, but even that - why theres not so many bands that trying themselfs in onher metre than 4/4? I know only some songs in other metre:

Doomsday Party by Sybreed is on 8/6, and this track:

has 5/4 on refrain.
Does somebody know some non 4/4 tracks? And please, don't write bands like Periphery and Meshuggah, cuz they're on 4/4.

Okay, Meshuggah play in many different time signatures so you're incorrect there. Despised icon has been known to play in 5/4 and 11/6. Guitar pro tabs can give you a lot of info about time signatures.

In actual fact most of Meshuggah's stuff is indeed played in 4/4, it's just some of the other instruments are arranged around that in unusual ways to give the appearance of odd time signatures. Mårten Hagström confirms that here.

We've never really been into the odd time signatures we get accused of using. Everything we do is based around a 4/4 core. It's just that we arrange parts differently around that center to make it seem like something else is going on.

Yup. As I write before - 'shuggah play most of their songs in 4/4. They sound not like 4/4 becouse they use polyrhytmic and syncope.

I don't have that good auditory recognition skills and music theory knowledge to actually determine time signatures by listening but I do like music with weird and mathy rhythms and well, generally mathcore (and often prog metalcore) is something known for doing that so I recommend looking around there.
