Prog Metal discs post '91 pre '97.

[zedowns]

So today as I was celebrating the birth of one Daniel Gildenlow I realized I don't have much from this time frame. Am I missing out on some real gems? I'd like some suggestions from obscurer stuff from bands that didn't end up breaking out afterward.

Suggestions please, and preferably some help finding it!

There was this really obscure band from New York who released an album in 1993. Images and Words, I think it was called. The same band made another album called Awake in 94 and an ep called A Change of Seasons in 1995.

Forgot the band's name though . . . ::

[Burkhard]

Anacrusis - "Screams And Whispers" (can be downloaded from their official website: http://www.anacrusis.us/media files/MP3/Albums/Albums.html)

[The_Metal_Messiah]

If you like progressive death, then check out Atheist's Elements album.

 

[Met-Al]

Altura--"Mercy"
Artension--"Into The Eye Of The Storm"
Athena--"Inside The Moon" (though the vocals are a little hard to swallow, the music rips!)
Auditory Imagery--"Reign" and "So Alive"
Defyance--"Amaranthine"
Elegy--"Labyrinth Of Dreams," "Supremacy," and "Lost"
Imperium--"Too Short A Season"
Mystic Force--"A Step Beyond"
Without Warning--"Making Time"

Outside of these albums, I think Boob pretty much covered it all.


Stay metal. Never rust.
