Just looked through my collection for albums released in 2016 and was extremely surprised to see just how much dough I could've spent on bacon and radium. Holy sh*t! (Thank ford for birthdays and Christmas)

By only reading this post, it gave me interest in the search of new bands, and i listened to Axon-Neuron and Yugen, what beauties! thanks for the OP for open my mind to the new prog scene that is going on right now, i was thinking that prog was dead, but now i know it's more alive than ever!
When i get a good catalogue of the new albums and start searching for myself i will surely recommend some here

Say So was officially released yesterday, therefore I don't think a lot of people have heard it. We are about to head out to the Orion for the unofficial release party!
What a show... what an album.. .what a party. Remind me next time we go to the Orion to sit where we did last night. Close to the band ready room. Don't know about you.. but I got a contact high last night. Someone (probably those toughs from that 1st band) was smoking the hell out of some sh*t last night and I definitely got a good 2nd hand high

You should plan on a trip to ProgDay one of these years (if money allows, of course). I'm pretty sure you'd be hooked! This year's edition is shaping up to be epic. On the other hand, travelling across the Atlantic is becoming more and more of a pain, and I cannot blame people for avoiding it.

Well Gundbamsen, i've listen to The Winstons debut, and i'm addicted to it!! :D, i've listen to Permutations by Mercury Tree and i'm trying to get into but appears to be really good too, and i'm love with Hand. Cannot. Erase by Steven Wilson, what a good mixture of Pop and Prog, i'm really liking, but Fire!Orchestra, i unfortunatly hated Ritual and Exit(Which sounded really better), but i'm trying to get into newer stuff, so if you can recommend me something good i'll be glad .
2016 is pretty awesome so far, but I feel the best is yet to come cause Fates Warning, Fields of the Nephilim, Devin Townsend, Lacuna Coil and Air Bag have yet to release their albums this year, but it's not even June yet.
Short list but here are the keepers for me up to June so far.
Oceans of Slumber-- Winter. (This album is a freak of nature. It's the best thing I've heard this year. 10/10) Headspace [ ]- All that you fear is gone ( absolutely love it. Wakeman and Wilson crush it again!! 9/10) Redemption-- The Art of Loss ( this album is insanely beautiful. Strength and beauty fighting against each other. Ray Alder chooses a steady vocal range and nails it. ) Dream Theater-- the astonishing ( it's quality and seeing it performed live made it even more noticeable for just how gifted DT are as musicians. Insane. ) David Bowie-- Blackstar ( I love what master Avant Guarde, DB has done here. His best work for the last time he graces a microphone. Beautiful sax and drums on this record as well. ) Royal Hunt-- Cargo ( well it's a Live album but the best one I've heard all year. Perhaps Alan Parsons with Live In Colombia can over take it when it's released in July. )

Some great taste here guys
My additions include:
Deftones - Gore (they just keep getting better!) Stonerider - Hologram (for Heron Oblivion/Black Mountain fans) Tales of Murder and Dust - The Flow In Between (the dreamiest shoegaze I heard in a while) Cult Of Luna & Julie Christmas – Mariner (can't help but LOVE Julie's vocals; never been over the moon about CoL though) Aesop Rock - The Impossible Kid (indie hip-hop, very stylish and smart) Black Peaks - Statues (amazing modern prog band in the vein of The Mars Volta/Oceansize/Mastodon/Leprous/you name them) New Keepers of the Water Towers - Infernal Machine (for Greenleaf/Mars Red Sky fans, stoner rock goes scandinavian prog!)
I am still absorbing Yugen's newest, but it seems to get better with every spin. I see you rate it highly Ian. I listened to Say So earlier today even though I'd promised myself to wait. I am glad that I did - told me that I need to get my hands on the critter asap.
Been meaning to check out the new Panzerpappa album too, although I find their last couple of releases a little too similar in style. Still great music though.

Yugen certainly benefits from repeat listenings, I wasn't sure it was up to the standard of previous albums on the first 2 spins but it's really growing on me, I love the different levels of intensity across the album.

I'm definitely in the same boat. Had myself a full listen earlier today and it perfectly complemented the crazy traffic in the inner city.
