Try any album from PAIN OF SALVATION. And as for prog metal pioneers FATES WARNING, go for 'Perfect Symmetry' (1989), then 'a Plesant Shade of Gray' (1997).

If you like Dream Theater then you may like Mike Portnoy and John Petrucci's side project Liquid Tension Experiment excellent instrumental progressive metal, their last album imaginatively named 'Liquid Tension |

Give Symphony X a try, lots of very heavy stuff. Too much, perhaps. |

Symphony X is a symphonic metal band!! not to be confused with prog... put keyboards arrengements and make long tunes are not enough to be called prog! sorry!

Actually, I regard SYMPHONY X as one of the top prog metal acts of the las t10 years: they have obvious roots in the neo-classical metal thing, but they didn't confine themselves to that stuff, but they expanded their own sound into the r |

Don't forget that Symphony X based "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" Holst's theme from Mars. I recall another band doing something like that, except with Brahms' symphonies and piano concertos. What was their name? Oh yeah, YES.

I agree with philippe on this one, at least for the majority of the time. Anyway on topic, someone mentioned Fates Warning, I'd also check out Psychotic Waltz, another pioneer of prog metal. Then Watchtower if you're into the techy side of thing |

I don't know whether or not someone has recommended ICE AGE? I think it's in the same vein as Dream Theater. You may also try Nightwish. Np. "The Devil is An English Man" - Steve Hackett |
