Recommend me some great newer metal!

[J.DavisNJ]

I've gotten into quite a few newer bands through recommendations on this forum, but still want more! Sybreed is one of them, love that disc!

Recommend some new proggy type stuff! Epic songs, amazing leads, theme'd albums, love that stuff!

Throw some stuff at me! Woot!

Sybreed rocks yea, got introduced to 'em here as well.

Hmm as for epic themed stuff... I don't know really, I'm not good at that stuff

 

[Torniojaws]

Disillusion, Scar Symmetry, Communic, Biomechanical, Fear of Fours, Crystalic, Shatter Messiah, Vulture Industries

 

[JeffTD]

The latest Cynic, Faceless, Abigail Williams, After The Burial, All Shall Perish, Ashes Divide, and Neuraxis albums have all been in constant rotation for me!

 

[mintcheerios]

Between the Buried and Me - Colors

 

[combo666]

HIMSA - Courting Tragedy and Disaster (2003)
HIMSA - Hail Horror (2006)
HIMSA - Summon in Thunder (2007)

The production isn't the best, but the songs f***ing rock

It's almost impossible to faithfully recommend music because it's quite subjective.

I've really been getting into Enslaved. Some might need to get used to the vocals.

similar artist (indie I think) is A Dark Halo. I like them a lot.

I've got no suggestions for the OP

you're looking for the human abstract!

 

[plague_rider]

The Absence - Riders of the Plague (first album is great but the production on the second is miles better)

 

[J.DavisNJ]

Thanks guys, gonna check em all out. I have the first Absence and dig it, so I will probably like the second one.

Proggy in which way? I'm guessing you're looking for heavy/technical prog (as most already mentioned fit in), or are you also interested in prog/power and "softer" prog metal? For my bit I'd say Coprofago - Unorthodox Creative Criteria (Meshuggah meets Cynic/Atheist), Spiral Architect, Angra - Temple of Shadows, Scariot - Momentum Shift (thrashy! plus has the great Steve DiGiorgio), Vanden Plas - Christ.O, Ihsahn - Angl, Shadow Gallery - Room V, Pagan's Mind - Enigmatic:Calling, Ayreon - The Human Equation, Behold...The Arctopus - Nano-Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning, Communic - Visual Waves of Decay, Circus Maximus - Isolate.

Plus I have to throw in my all time favourite album (which I'm listening to right now) - Evergrey - In Search of Truth. I'm still drooling over their MB TriAxis/Peavey 50-50 tone...

 

[Metaltastic]

Big +1 to In Search of Truth, one of my all-time favorite albums!

sikth are the kings of prog for some guys out there:
