Hiya all,

I'm very much into prog metal in the Dream Theater - Images and words/Queensryche - Operation Mindrcrime vein. Right now I'm listening to Pagan's Mind - Celestial Entrance and enjoying it very much thank you

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.

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.
