My favourite prog bands are King Crimson, Opeth, Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree. Which non-English language band should I try first?

Hybris by Anglagard, hands down. Swedish band, and it's the only album in which they have lyrics. I haven't got it yet, but I really want to get some SBB (from Poland).

Oh, of course, and you should get yourself into some Rock Progresivo Italiano, lot's of wonderful stuff mostly in italian. I myself am usually interested in non english speaking bands singing in their original language (for me that's a plus), so I'll be interested in seeing what comes up with this thread.

German is the proper route. Get some Can, Faust, Amon Duul II, or Popol Vuh.

For similar to King Crimson see:

From your tastes you might enjoy some of the heavier French modern stuff, like Lazuli, Demians or Nemo.

I agree with that PFM/Premiata suggestion. Might as well go with their debut though (Storia Di Un Minuto) and perhaps Dungen. My Favorite is 4
But they sing in english (and I can't stand them) |

Definitely that, and/or Maxophone's self-titled album if you want something more accessible and familiar to English prog that's a little heavier. The album that helped me combat language bias best was Harmonium's "Si On Avait...", still a huge favourite of mine today. Gong's "Flying Teapot" was another great one, as is Bubu's "Anabelas" (not that good start out with though). If you want something modern, there are so many avenues to go down but "Hybris" is one to check out early on, as is "Agaetis Byrjun" by Sigur Ros if you're into that ambient/post-rock stuff. Looking through the top 100 albums, there's a ton of Italian bands with great back catalogues too that's seriously worth looking into (PFM, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Le Orme).

If instrumental is OK, I recommend Schicke Führs Fröhling (Symphonic Pictures, Sunburst). |

I'd pick any of the first three Banco del Mutuo Soccorso albums - the self-titled, Darwin!, or Io Sono Nato Libero. Or perhaps Locanda delle Fate's debut (Forse le Lucciole...). The vocals are so beautiful it honestly doesn't matter if you understand Italian or not.

I'd like to recommend also Nurt, the band from Poland.

That was the other one I was going to recommend. I'm not sure I get all these reco's for albums for instrumental albums or Non-English bands singing in English. Didn't the OP request Non-English language albums? Maybe I just misunderstood the post & he's looking for bands from countries that aren't the UK or USA.

Magma and all Zeuhl bands are another obvious recommendation - though their music is generally an acquired taste.
