Hi, I'm Max from Italy, 18, and I'm quite excited to be part of this forum.
I've always used Progarchives to discover new bands, so I hope that through discussion with other people I can discover even more.

Prog is one of the genres I love the most, together with Post Rock and various Metal subgenres. These are the main types of music I listen to, but I'm not that strict of course, and I'm always ready to know more.
My early listens (ignoring the MTV bands I grew up with) were classics like Genesis, Yes, Rush... The big ones, you see. Then I developed an interest towards a darker and more experimental side of prog (VdGG, Townsend, maudlin of the Well, Kayo Dot etc.), and that's the kind of music I look for, mostly.

Regarding the reason for me joining this community, it's simple: I just love discussing music. So I hope I'll have a nice time here. I'm sure I will!

If you enjoy the darker aspects of music, and like metal, then you are probably already aware of this non-prog band?

Well, no, I didn't know it. Awesome song! I'm already happy!
I forgot to say that actually I don't know that much music (generally the big names and some smaller acts), since this is kind of a "recent" interest for me. So, probably, a big part of the suggestions I'll get will be new to me. I'm thankful for this!

Welcome to the site Max!!  It is definitely the place to expand one's tastes and discover lots of music.

As well as a damn friendly place to hang out and shoot the sh*t.

Well, if you enjoyed Triptykon (they have two albums out - happy listening) then you might also enjoy Tom Fischer's former band Celtic Frost.

Welcome to the forums! If you'd like some very technical prog-metal, you might want to check out Canvas Solaris.
