I second the calls for Sculptured and Zero Hour

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I really, really want to buy the new Zero Hour, but it's expensive as hell everywhere.

11 bones from the UK

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah, I saw that...cheapest one I could find...but overseas shipping is annoying to me

 

[CF87]

To-Mera deff. Julie Kiss rocks

Scar Symmetry(Prog/Death)
Darkane(Prog/Thrash)

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Everything that Ron Jarzombek has been a part of. Especially Spastic Ink and Blotted Science.

Spiral Architect
Direwolf
Cynic
Atheist

And I'm not sure if you'd be into this stuff, but I'd suggest checking out a few "Math Rock" groups like Hella.

 

[wild bill guarnere]

For me, vocals are important. My favorite vocalists are Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio, Geoff Tate, Steve Walsh (Kansas) and Russell Allen (Symphony X). In other words, for the most part clean vocals. What prog metal bands with mostly clean vocals do you guys recommend? I've tried to like Dream Theater, but I just don't like James LaBrie's voice. Nor Opeth.

 

[Einherjar86]

Evergrey
Symphony X
Sieges Even
Shadow Gallery

if you like Geoff Tate, then I'm pretty sure you'll love Zero Hour's last two releases

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yes, he definitely will...and I STILL FUCKING NEED DARK DECEIVER !

Listen to this man, only Cynic is over rated. They're good but they get boring easily. I still can't wait for their new one to come out though.

 

[wild bill guarnere]

Evergrey
Symphony X
Sieges Even
Shadow Gallery

Noted. Thanks man!

 

[wild bill guarnere]

I will check them out!

a lot of these bands are sick as fuck especially the instrumental ones like scale the summit, canvas solaris, spastic ink, and continuo renacer...listen to this dude

 

[TartanLlama]

I think that Scale the summit are awesome if you only listen to a few tracks... I got "Monument" and although it is extremely technical, atmospheric and interesting, the songs and ideas are just simply too alike.
