only at the mo, but the first two will always be forever lol. but ill say why too
1. Symphony X - The best guitarist in metal (IMO) and the bestsinger of all time. Kickass metal riffs, astonishing proggy instrumentation and the best neoclassical metal ever.
2. Opeth - I dont think i need to say
3. Pain of Salvation - a prog band that doesnt sound anything like prog = true prog lol. Just amazing music that extreemily personal and emotional.
4. Nevermore - just pure kickass, brutal riffs and great playing. Great lyrics too.
5. Adagio - check out underworld! masterpeice of prog metal. Heavy, symphonic, dark, proggy, melodic and...just good. If you like SyX, youl love this band.
