Top 5 Prog Metal Albums

[NAD]

Love is in the air but what do you think about the songs? I'll upload "Bleeding" material that i am sure you will dig more for various reasons.

Wow, Ashes was fucking awesome. Does that segue into something else? It just sorta ended.

Freakshow is... it's okay, but I'm not sure I dig it.

yes it does.

You need to hear the self-titled song.

PS: Rush are one of the worst 5 bands in history, yet I own two of their albums and consider Geddy Lee an influence on my playing.

eh? I've never heard anyone say this ever. Not sure what to think.

I don't know what Prog Metal means at this point.

 

[dorian gray]

I stopped paying attention to the "prog" label around 1995 or so

 

[Krilons Resa]

and you were still over 15 years too late

 

[dorian gray]

So true

 

[Reign in Acai]

4. Shadow Gallery - Tyranny

Can you upload a track or two from this release? Moments ago I heard "Crystalline Dream" from Carved in Stone, great stuff!

Edit - NM, I'm going to buy it blind.

Edit II "The Return" - Heir Apparent rocks my socks as well.

I don't know what Prog Metal means at this point.

It's pretty much anything that can't be defined by any genre label, particularly "prog metal".

Did anyone around here ever listen to The Firstborn - The Unclenching Of Fists? Portrugese band, album five years in the making, concept based on Tantric Buddhism in general and the Bardo Thodol (the Tibetan Book of the Dead) specifically, blends black metal, death metal, Middle Eastern instrumentation and Tool-esque structures into a pretty impressive and surprisingly cohesive sound? It really, really impressed me when it came out.

Woah, that description makes me want to wipe while standing! I'll look for the myspace samples.

Im with Ali.

Dill, where the hell can I find that album???!!!?! The concept is right down my alley.

Gotta support my fellow pork-n-cheese brethren.

1. Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian
2. Psychotic Waltz - Into the Everflow (anyone not blown away by the title track is a fag)
3. Adramelch - Irae Melanox
4. Black Hole - Land of Mystery (Doom/prog but whatever)
5. Hammers of Misfortune - August Engine

I suck at Progressive Metal

 

[Reign in Acai]

3. Adramelch - Irae Melanox

What I have heard from this album smokes. :Smokin:

 

[swizzlenuts]

I fucking love it, supposedly their other one is just as ace.

 

[Krilons Resa]

absolute classic, not prog though

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Well it's more prog than "Awaken The Guardian" which is not prog at all, is it?

 

[Krilons Resa]

A little bit. Touche.

 

[~Neurotica]

Any Beyond Twilight fans here? I'm really digging this band lately and I don't even give a damn if somebody thinks that it's gay.

PS: Psychotic Waltz is sure great too, thank you, Pee-ters.
