Ok, I forgot about a band that probably sounds more like bands such as Threshold and Circus Maximus than the previous ones I listed, Cloudscape. I wouldn't call them top class; however, I do find their debut self titled album quite decent with plenty of high points yet a few lows. Their second album, which came out a while ago, did not do much of anything for me though.

Oh and of course Biomechanical. Metal's future.

Fear not, there are hundreds and hundreds of bands that sound exactly like what you already listen to. They sound exactly like each other too. And they're all progressive!

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

Kamelot, Kiuas, Nightwish, Opeth, Redemption, Spheric Universe Experience, Spiral Architect, Time Requiem...

I'm checking out Vanden Plas, Seventh Wonder, and Biomechanical now.

Fear not, there are hundreds and hundreds of bands that sound exactly like what you already listen to. They sound exactly like each other too. And they're all progressive!

 

[darkblade]

no one's gonna say Angra?

i'll say Angra. especially their latest two albums: Temple of Shadows, and Aurora Consurgens.

 

[EyeballKid]

Black Label Society.


...what? No?

Fear not, there are hundreds and hundreds of bands that sound exactly like what you already listen to. They sound exactly like each other too. And they're all progressive!

But Ken, they ALL play in DIFFERENT non-4/4 time signatures! So they are CLEARLY all unique! uke:

Seriously: how about Fates Warning?

 

[DoomsdayZach]

no one's gonna say Angra?

i'll say Angra. especially their latest two albums: Temple of Shadows, and Aurora Consurgens.

Temple of Shadows was pretty decent but Aurora Constipation sucked hard.

Check out Frantic Bleep. Great, great band.

 

[darkblade]

hmmm. temple was my favorite... but i still like aurora consurgens. what was your beef with it?

 

[DoomsdayZach]

I just found it to be incredibly mediocre and uninspired, even for power metal. I don't remember a single song from it. Not like it was painful to listen to, but definitely nothing i feel any need to return to.

 

[darkblade]

to me, songs like "the shadow hunter" and "winds of destination" are great definitions for interesting prog power.

i agree that AC wasn't the most interesting album, but it's still pretty mindblowing talent. especially songs, like salvation:suicide, and the course of nature.

anyway, i liked rebirth better than AC. i just figured AC fit better with estMaj's favorite bands.

Biomechanical? I listened to a few songs, I found nothing interesting. I thought the riffs were pretty boring and the solos were quite uninspired and sloppy. Could some one guide me to good songs please? I hope this aint really metal's future...

Check out Pentagram from Turkey. AKA Mezarkabul
