Ive been getting into a lot of Progressive Metal lately and was wondering if there were any recommendations out there. As of now ive got Vanden Plas, Pain of Salvation, In The Woods, and  Queensryche in the collection with plenty of room for additions.

If you also happen to like power metal, check out Kamelot, particularly The Black Halo!

How do you like In The Woods..??  I think they're amazing!  Omnio is awesome...

Also ... Beyond Twilight ,Black Jester, Artension ,Divine Regale, Enchant, Frameshift, Ivanhoe, Mastermind, Magellan, Crimson Glory, Redemption, Savatage , Secret Sphere, Star One , Time Requiem , Rhapsody and finaly  Dreamscape  may be worth checking out  but don`t forget about Rush   and Iron Maiden  as I personaly believe this is where most great prog metal starts.

No, they haven't been around for a decade. Doesn't make their music any less interesting though.

 I think Watchtower is around, though. They reformed a few years back and last I heard,they're supposedly working on a new album. And just recently Atheist announced they will be reuniting for some shows in Europe,I believe...
