Progressive Death Metal recommendations PLEASE.

[Frostangelstorm]

I've been digging some stuff like:

Edge of Sanity
Death
Opeth
Cynic
Atheist
Pestilence
Martyr
Disillusion

I'd like to hear more challenging bands from the genre. One important criteria is that they should be unique and have a sound on their own.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

 

[Jesse Pohjalainen]

i was going to say Opeth, but since you already know that....
but you gave me a few new bands, so thank you.

 

[Life Sucks]

Pavor
Coram Lethe
Illogicist

 

[MetalAges]

These may be borderline for you but check out:

Wolverine
Into Eternity

 

[Death Aflame]

Empyrean Sky

 

[Erik]

Quo Vadis, mayhaps

 

[Mr_Haze]

Try Augury; they may not be exactly the sound you are looking for, but they are progressive death and good.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Golem.

 

[Perdition's Light]

*token Demilich recommendation*

 

[Slayed Necros]

Afflicted - Prodigal Sun
Transgressor - Ether For Scapegoat
Cadaver - ...In Pains
Crypt Of Kerberos - World Of Myths
Babylon Sad - Kyrie
Phlebotomized - Immense Intense Suspense

I also second the recommendations for Pavor(first album) and Golem.

 

[Nag]

Try Augury; they may not be exactly the sound you are looking for, but they are progressive death and good.

yeah I was caught offguard by Augury's talent. Way good stuff.

 

[Phrozenspite]

I'll second these:
Augury
Quo Vadis

Though not necessarily progressive I'll also recommend
The Chasm
Cryptopsy
Necrophagist
Theory In Practice
Alarum
Anata
Lykathea Aflame
Psycroptic
Spawn of Possession

for some oddball recs that are loosely relevant
Windham Hell
Orphaned Land
Hollenthon

 

[Mercy/Severity]

hypocrisy perhaps?

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Don't ya think Amorphis deserves a mention here? They were death metal once...

 

[genocide roach]

Try Augury; they may not be exactly the sound you are looking for, but they are progressive death and good.

[Master_Debater]

Don't ya think Amorphis deserves a mention here? They were death metal once...

Yes. The first three albums especially.

 

[Killbot]

More tech than prog, but you may like Mithras.

 

[madu]

Lessee, some mentioned already:

Amorphis (Elegy especially)
