Evolution: Sailing The Seas Of Prog

Recently, instead of scouring too much the albums of the year I'm in, I decided to take a deeper journey and appreciate progressive music (prog metal/rock). While I'm still in the early beginnings of my journey, I decided to make a list to the albums I fully listen to so that I can keep charting my voyage in these vast seas. Some albums are not yet added because I need to listen them well and grab my favorites out, and some bands are on queue. I'm also eager to hear some recommendations, so thanks in advance for them!

1.Ayreon - The Human Equation
2.Barren Earth - The Devil's Resolve
3.Blotted Science - The Machinations Of Dementia
4.Control Denied - The Fragile Art Of Existence
5.Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons [EP]

The Best Metal Albums* From A To # (B)

This list is meant to be an extensive, but by no means exhaustive, collection of the greatest (modern) metal albums and eps. Running the gamut from avant-garde to trve norweigan black metal. *As someone who is young in age, my tastes tend to revolve around the period of the 80s to the present.* Although certain metal albums from before will certainly be featured, the period of the 60s-70s will be under-represented. I refer you to this excellent list to gain a better appreciation for some of the best metal from that period: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/freis/martin_popoffs_the_top_500_heavy_metal_albums_of_all_time/

1.Ba'al - Ellipsism
2.Back To R'lyeh - The Awakening / Last Fight Of The Primordial
3.Bad Salad - Uncivilized
4.Bakos Attila - Aranyhajnal
5.Balance Of Power - Book Of Secrets
