that is true.. I think Mercenary is kinda original in the fact that they have 2 vocalists using those 2 styles. I heard it a bit by a band called GARDENIAN on an album called Soulburner, I liked that as well, but I hear that the 2nd album didn't do anything like the 1st, so I neglected to pick it up. I have yet to find any soundclips from it either.
Progressive, i guess, would be anything deviated from what is considered 'normal'. That's the interpretation I get from what people say in this forum. I can't get into it too much, but I give everything a fair chance. Pagan's Mind I kinda like and depending on their performance, I may find myself picking up an album. Spiral Architecht I 100% hated. Too much happening in the music. To me, it sounded like each musician went off in their own little world while someone in the booth hit record. Sure, they're talented, but I like songs, not calculus. Dream Theatre, I really don't care for.. I can handle listening to them because they actually write good songs, but the length of the songs I've heard kinda get on my nerves. Sure, I'm up for a good opus every now and then... but not every other tune (and I AM exaggerating - but only because most of the DT stuff I've heard is extremely long).
Meshuggah I consider progressive metal as well.. I like them alot. There's a lot of intricate things going on in their material (also, no opuses). You may all brand me the traitor cos they played Ozfest - but YAHOO to Meshuggah for getting exposure of that magnitude in this country.
