I already responded to this. True, they have gotten a lot of shit from rude Dragonforce fans. True, they do not appeal to the average power metal fan. They have a lot of musical skill, however. All fans of aggressive progressive music, especially those that like some of the prog thrash classics should check them out. I realize they don't have a chance in hell at playing PPUSA. Frankly, I don't think any of these bands have much of a chance. I just thought I'd pose the question.

I AGREE WITH TAMMY, WHERE IS SPHERIC UNIVERSE EXPERIENCE????
I like SPASTIC INK and my hometown boys GRACEPOINT too, but personally
S.U.E. is where I wanted to place my vote!

Gracepoint was badass at Powerfest, I think with some more time they will be a force to contend with..
Spiral Architect hands down

Coheed and Cambria have a lot of technical skill, too. Does that mean that they belong in the poll?

Nah, they're not metal.
By the way, I get the message - We don't want no Protest the Hero around these here parts.

I picked uneXpect, but I could just as easily pick Canvas Solaris and/or Spastic Ink.
Protest the Hero is talented and technical and lyrically savvy, but their emocore nature doesn't fit the PPUSA vibe.

Count me as a vote for a Cynic reunion, too! 
From the list, Behold, Aghora, Canvas Solaris and Spiral Architect would get my attention.

Aghora - Only have their self-titled debut so far. New one coming out next year. Complex prog with female vox.
Behold... The Arctopus - Only have 2 EPs, each with 2 songs - "Nano-Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning" and "Arctopocalypse Now... Warmageddon Later". Both EPs are available on 1 CD now. Obviously, they'd have to play some cover tunes or unreleased material.
I like Arctopocalypse and don't care for Nano-Nucleonic. Instrumental tech metal.Canvas Solaris - 1 EP and 2 albums, and a new album coming in early 2007. I like their heavier, frenetic material the best so I prefer the EP, Spatial/Design. If you're more into ambient stuff check out their later albums, Sublimation and Penumbra Diffuse. Instrumental eclectic metal, sometimes tech, sometimes ambient/world music.
GracePoint - Science of Discontent is their only official release. I have had their Full Circle full length demo for years now though. Both are awesome complex prog with unique vocals for the genre (cross between Armored Saint and Stone Temple Pilots).
Protest the Hero - Kezia is their second album, and it rules. It has some metalcore to it though, so don't bother unless you're into that.
Spastic Ink - Ink Complete is my fave of the two. Instrumental tech metal made by the guitarist from WatchTower.
Spiral Architect - A Sceptic's Universe is their only disc. Brilliant tech metal with great vocals from the Manitou singer (vox similar to Psychotic Waltz).
Twisted into Form - Then Comes Affliction to Awaken the Dreamer is their only disc. Have been described as Spiral Architect meets Fates Warning circa Perfect Symmetry.
Unexpect - In a Flesh Aquarium is their new one, and it's a fun, constantly changing rollercoaster ride through a demented circus. Death vox and clean female vox. Violin. Heavy riffing craziness. You really just need to hear them for yourself.
WatchTower - Control and Resistance is brilliant, classic tech metal. High pitched vox by the singer for Hades turn some off.
