Great prog metal with female vox

[Stavanger]

I'm lately more into prog metal and some nice female vocals do me lots of good, as always, so i've checked a first "Aghora" album and "Stream of Passion" and i think they have a great stuff, recommended. Now yesterday a friend of mine linked me to a band named "Soul Enema" and an album called "Thin Ice Crawling", and it left me mesmerized, just checked it via their myspace page - really cool, quite original, very nice melodies, good arrangements, energy, some Eastern touches (they are from Israel, i think), very surprised, never met anything exactly like. They are here:

I also think "Diablo Swing Orchestra" is good and special, if you don't mind some swing-metal.

Try out Gonin-Ish for some really bizarre, spastic progressive rock/metal/whatever with a very disturbed sounding Japanese chick on vocals.

nice. I'm giving Soul Enema a listen. Instrumental parts are interesting.


you could try Grayceon, not as symphonic, but great instrumental stuff.
