What did I miss in prog metal this year?

[EricT]

Edit: I meant last year. Fuck, I'm still writing 07 on everything that needs to be dated .

Only 2 albums I payed attention to were the new Circus Maximus and Pagan's Mind (Both of which were pretty fucking good). What did I miss?

Bonus points for 2006 Prog albums I missed. Only one I remember listening to is Zero Hour's awesome release.

Oh, and I also heard the Riverside album from 2007, was pretty decent as well.

I'm gonna say you probably missed a lot of arpeggios and keyboards.

 

[Claws of Perdition]

I'm gonna say you probably missed a lot of arpeggios and keyboards.

Pretty sure they were throwing around the idea of singing about dragons also.

I'm gonna say you probably missed a lot of arpeggios and keyboards.

As opposed to Black Metal and Death Metal where you would have missed a ton of blast beats and unintelligible screaming?

As for Prog Metal, my top five Prog CDs would include the aforementioned Circus Maximus and Pagan's Mind, along with the latest by Riverside and Symphony X. And of course, my #1 CD of 2007, Redemption's "Origins of Ruin".

Holy shit, a serious response!


I'll have to check out Redemption, hear the name dropped constantly, but I don't hear much about the otherwise.

The traditional prog metal albums I liked this year were:

Thought Chamber - Angular Perceptions
Newbreed - Child of the Sun
Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement
The Gourishankar - 2nd Hands

I may be forgetting some, but I don't think so.
