I Recommend...

New to PA, and am on a quest to find some new prog metal bands that i can actually dig.

Unreservedly this.... could be one of my top 2013 albums

Verbal Delirium have released their second album on a Name-your-price basis, please give this your attention!!!

a mix of crossover and eclectic if you ask me

I highly recommend Mystery's album "The World is a Game".

( my favourite album and their most proggy album to date.)  So enjoy this terrific, classic band. And make sure to crank the music through a nice pair of headphones, so you can appreciate hearing every little nook and crany of instrumentation performed. Grab the remastered copies if you don't have one. I upgraded. They were dirt cheap. :) Please recommend us something we don't know about ... something obscure, mayhaps. (I think) I made the same "mistake" the first few times I posted here.

I highly, highly recommend Radar men from the Moon. They're an instrumental space-rock band from the Netherlands, and feature a very retro-psych sound. Both their albums are available for free on Bandcamp. RMFTM is on PA, but their newest album has not been added yet.

Well I recently got Combat Astronomy - Dreams No Longer Hesitate on the recommendation of Udi Koomran. It's extremely heavy avant doom zeuhl featuring the vocals of Elaine DiFalco (Thinking Plague). It's a monster & may be dominating my listening for the next couple of weeks.

I don't listen to a whole lot of prog type metal but I highly recommend Entities by Pomegranate Tiger. Seriously blew my freakin' mind. Reminiscent of Chimp Spanner, Scale the Summit, Animals as Leaders with a hint of Dream Theater. I saw this listed in the new releases section of the Prog Archives site and checked it out for the cover alone. A very impressive prog metal debut from this group.

Another forgotten gem here on PA is the almighty desert rockers Colour Haze. I feel they should be under Psych/Space, but due to their German roots are filed under krautrock. They dabble in stoner/doom, psychedelic, progressive, and hard rock. Their latest release, "She Said", is a monolithic double CD chock full of memorable riffs and great vocals from Stefan Koglek.

My recommended starting albums-
Colour Haze (2004)
She Said (2012)
Los Sounds de Krauts (2003)
All (2008)

I haven;t seen anyone mention these guys since I've been on board about 2 months now...
