hmmm, I was going to suggest Amorphis but apparently its "progness" is a bit under debate...I'd still recommend it, if you like prog metal or just good metal their releases up to Am Universum are worth checking out, esp. Tales from the Thousand Lakes an

I was not able to read the whole thread so excuse the mention of bands already mentioned.

The problem with labelling music is that it means different things to different people "Its all music to me".  As for Prog Rock, well I'm a huge Qeensryche (up to Empire) and Dream Theater fan so I w

[QUOTE=goose] Oh and, were you saying you don't like Dolorian? I wouldn't for a minute suggest they're prog, but I quite like the sound. Mind you I'd count doom as one of my favoured genres, so I might have less discriminating ears with doom metallers..

[QUOTE=Metropolis]I'd have to agree with most of these guys, check out Opeth, Symphony X, Pain of Salvation (Gildenlow is a genius), Ayreon, Evergrey, and perhaps some Nightwish or Children of Bodom (althought these last two aren't prog, they're still v
