Any word on this?  I think it would be good to include them.

Haha, I'm sure I can find some supporting evidence for the ones in favour.

I have supported their inclusion from the beginning (you can see the votes here: [ur;]http://progfreak.com/home/progarchives?path=pm/discuss[/url]), but clearly most people currently or previously on the PMT don't agree with me on this one. I think that their extended compositions and progressive take on death (and even black) metal is worth being on PA, even though they aren't prog in its truest form.

I think it's time for us to take a re-evaluation of this band, as one of the current team members is undecided about their addition to the database. I'll let you know if we make any progress as a team. Thumbs Up

I second this suggestion.  Akercocke is an extremely progressive band.  Very similar to Opeth but more sinister sounding.  Here's another couple videos of theirs:

If anyone of you have heard of Akercocke (I know at least one has and is completely behind me on this) they are a very good British dark metal group. They take death metal and really make a sound their own, incorperating everything from progressive rock to grindcore, but it all sounds cohesive, very heavy, and bloody amazing.
 
I essentially consider them a British (and satanic, LOL) version of Opeth.
