I don't think you like Dream Theater or Porcupine Tree or Enchant.

 

[Hopkins-WitchfinderGeneral]

Dream theater aren't really prog tho. Just ask Mike.

 

[The intruder88]

Enchant has come up with 6 brilliant albums and a 7th on the way, to be released this summer. They have gotten heavier with each album , So if you like the heavier side of prog check out Blink of an eye or their upcoming album Tug of War. Their message board is also on the Ultimate.com forums.

Yep...even if GS!BE are post-rock and Townsend is thrash, well, SYL is thrash.

 

[Hopkins-WitchfinderGeneral]

So totally is. *sides with pancakes*

 

[Pancakes]

Industrial-thrash. Well, Pie calls 'em industrial thrash. I cee some thrash elements (more thrash the more I listen to 'em), and alot of industrial. But it's certainly not straight industrial.

 

[Demonspell]

I don't think you like Dream Theater or Porcupine Tree or Enchant.

All three are great bands and there are many more quality progressive metal bands from the States, but Porcupine Tree isn't one of them, as they are British...

Industrial-thrash. Well, Pie calls 'em industrial thrash. I cee some thrash elements (more thrash the more I listen to 'em), and alot of industrial. But it's certainly not straight industrial.

I've also seen them called "chaos metal". Don't ask.

I don't even think I can name two American prog bands.

Pink Floyd
King Crimson
Yes
Gensis
Camel
Porcupine Tree
