Progressive Metal is my favourite sub-genre of metal and I have got all the main stuff, so now I want some lesser known bands to add to my collection. Any suggestions would be appreciated
actual 'progressive' metal and 'prog' (the thing where a band sounds like Dream Theater)
extol - undeceived is pure win
~gR~
Icycore (prog)
Wow i haven't heard alot of these, i'll be sure to check a few of these out. The threadstarter should DEFINITELY check out Camel.WatchTower
Cynic
maudlin of the Well
Pagan's Mind (prog)
Zero Hour (only sort of prog)
Extol
Gordian Knot
Ephel Duath
Andromeda (prog)
Planet X
Spiral Architect
Twisted into Form
Believer (on 'Dimensions', and maybe on the new one)
Pestilence (on 'Spheres')
Also, I'll go a little further and recommend you check out some older non-metal influences for such bands....just some quick examples... Mahavishnu Orchestra, Magma, Camel, Return to Forever, Yes, King Crimson.
