Progressive metal bands

[Aerows]

I admit I'm an old fart, but I love metal, particularly with a cultural bent like Within Temptation and Blind Guardian.

Any new ones out there?

[RedStateLiberal]

1. System Of A Down

Not exactly new and not typical metal, but definitley liberal.

[Aerows]

3. Awesome!

Thanks for the link! They are definitely going into my shuffle.

[RedStateLiberal]

39. Glad you like 'em.

I highly recommend their album 'Toxicity'.

[fizzgig]

38. i really dig these guys

and i'm not one much for metal

[Amerigo Vespucci]

2. Symphony X

[Aerows]

4. Within Temptation does it better

[Aerows]

8. That's pretty damn awesome, though

[Aerows]

5. I'm loving the hell out of this thread already

I love seeing music that people listen to.

[Aerows]

6. A favorite, because it goes along with gaming

[Aerows]

7. No others?

I thought there would be more enthusiasm for music.

9. Porcupine Tree is often classified as "progressive metal," but...

...I see them closer to the "progressive" end of that scale and not so much "metal." Although Steven Wilson DOES have King Crimson's "Red" in his veins, and that album...especially the title track...was "progressive metal."

KC's Adrian Belew plays the guitar solo on this, the title track from their "Deadwing" album:

10. Great sound!

I love it, thanks for the link to a great band

[Aerows]

16. Gorgeous music

Don't know what else to say.

[hifiguy]

34. King Crimson probably qualifies.

I was always a fan of Type O Negative. They definitely had a prog bent in their goth-metal. And, in all seriousness, Dethklok.

Porcupine Tree is a great band!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

11. Porcupine Tree frontman Steven Wilson's homage to King Crimson:

[Aerows]

19. so much good music.

I'm drowning in it

[Amerigo Vespucci]

[Amerigo Vespucci]

13. Mastodon - Oblivion

[Amerigo Vespucci]

14. Opeth - The Drapery Falls

[Aerows]

[Amerigo Vespucci]

15. Vanden Plas - Holes In The Sky

[Aerows]

26. Awesome

This is metal, and thanks for posting it.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

17. Overkill - Spiritual Void

Overkill was / is a "Thrash Metal" band a la Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer, but on their "I Hear Black" album (source of this clip) they slowed things down and got a little closer to the prog metal genre.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

18. Pain of Salvation - Ashes

[Amerigo Vespucci]

20. Nightwish - Storytime

[Aerows]

21. You are going to kill me

with great music overload! Awesome, thank you

[Amerigo Vespucci]

22. Iced Earth - Dystopia

[Aerows]

29. I'm sure

About 25 people orgasmed while thinking of Ozzy.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

23. Mudvayne - World So Cold

[Aerows]

28. That's a fucked up bunch

Nothing musical, imho, to speak of.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

24. Planet X - Her Animal

[flvegan]

27. Metal? YMMV, but Rise Against might suit you

Newer

Older, bit harder

[Aerows]

30. I'd say

Fucking awesome if I thought I wouldn't get reported on. I'm going to say "Fucking Awesome" anyway LOL.

[AsahinaKimi]

31. Well, guess I will throw in my favorite band...

Its in Japanese...but I just love their music.

[Aerows]

36. That's awesome!

I liked it even though I didn't understand a word they said. Music is a universal language

[AsahinaKimi]

40. I would Love to see more Gazette Fans...

because once you gap that bridge..its only time before you discover.. the guitar of MIYAVI

[Tobin S.]

32. More Opeth "Hex Omega" Really an amazing band

33. Needs more Devin Townsend

He's not really new, but a lot of people might not be aware of him.

"Awake!" from a recent concert series:

An older song: "Deep Peace" with a beautiful instrumental part in the middle

"Bender It Like Bender!" for the sheer fun of it. When's the last time you saw metalheads smiling and dancing like this?

I really need to get that "By A Thread" concert series...

On Edit: found a better version of "Bend It Like Bender!"

[OriginalGeek]

41. WWDD?

one of my sig lines on a gaming board where I used to post is WWDD - what would Devin do?


He's great whether solo or with Strapping Young Lad.

42. GWAR War Is All We Know

Funny thing is, a band founded on absurdity brings it harder, heavier, and better than other bands trying to be serious...
