Tad Morose - Sender of Thoughts

This is excellent dark prog with their original singer. Do not confuse them with their Urban Breed-led power metal era. Excellent, excellent stuff.
 
Some more dark prog metal/rock:

Wolverine - The Window Purpose
Fates Warning - Disconnected
Vauxdvihl - To Dimension Logic
Nightingale - The Closing Chronicles
Garden Wall - Forget the Colours

check out King Crimson- Red
Yeh, that's a fucking brilliant album. I'd be willing to do a fair few things to have his vocal talent (can't remember the guy's name :lol: )

Fripp? .. Christ... This is going to annoy me now!
 
No answer....That's not surprising and to claim that all those bands aren't progressive just proves that you haven't listened to them... There are many opinions as to what is progressive and what isn't just like there are many who claim most of the bands of my list aren't metal bands yet you claim they are...

Either way they are worth checking out based on the question asked by the person who started this thread...

odd time signatures dont make a band progressive? i thought that was part of the musical structure of a progressive band.

odd time signatures in of themselves dont make a band progressive, although early on in progressive rock meanderings, it was very en vogue to have odd time signatures included in most of your songs, so thats a stereotype that has stuck. and since then gotten MUCH worse due to bands that fit the "progressive metal" (although rarely progressive in the truest sense of the word) tag who use odd time signatures and 12 minute solos to stake the claim of being progressive.

This is one discription of what "progressive" is and then there is the genre termed progressive which usually discribes they way the music is presented...

It's pretty sad that you would take the time to try and debate this as if they are the same....

Whatever makes you happy....

lol^ every n00b has heard those bands. fact is, that those bands pretty much rehash what they have done for years, leaving them 'unprogressive'. virtuosos dont make bands progressive just fyi.

LOL...............

Knowing the difference doesn't make you smart....

Thanks....
