Recommend me some prog metal

Queensrÿche! Queensrÿche! Queensrÿche! Queensrÿche!

Two among the best records ever; "Operation:Mindcrime" and "Empire". Takes a while to swallow. After three years I'm still chewing on the latter. Don't bother much about their late 90's crap.

Note that even between two progressive bands exist countless differences. Btw, I just recognize Rough Silk, Masterplan and Beyond Twilight between the names you mentioned in your list, above. What about telling us two cents about the rest? :)

Well, I'm not very apt in describing bands, so I guess I shouldn't reccomend them? :erk:

But, I'll give it a try.

Brainstorm - Heavy! Powerful driving, semi clean vocals. Guess this one's closer to power than progressive, but it too has it's progressive moments.

Gracepoint - Power/Progressive, very technical at times, and they seem to avoid the overly melodic.

Mister Kite - Progressive leaning, but fall better into Rock/AOR/Heavy Rock. Their first album, All in Time anyways.

Silent Edge - New Progressive band to the scene. Some have said they are THE most promising prog metal band right now.

Swan Christy - Greek; male with female choir atop heavy, crunchy, melodic, symphonic progressive metal, and at times, quite jazzy!

Section A - New! Heavy driving progressive metal.


I tried!
