Anyone heard of the legendary Sons of Korah. I wonder if they are close to prog.

Zundapp? Are they the Italian prog band that record vintage 70s style heavy prog?
 
Have heard of but do not know any of their albums.

some recent additions in Heavy P include Russian progcore group Theory of Affect, Two ChileKings from the Philippines, Pittsburgh band Persephone's Dream.. and a very cool recent find unearthed from the early 70s South American scene; Climax-- great rough-and-tumble vintage stuff like Tempest meets ELP in high school, recorded 1970 but released several years later.   Historic.

I'm quite certain its only the bonus 4 track EP on the reissue that's recorded as early as 69-70. So the stuff you've been listening to, is recorded somewhere inbetween 70-74. Would be fun, and somewhat sensational if this was happening in Bolivia in 69-70, though.

Stream the full album here



Btw; Its a great site with full streams more than 700 rare folk, prog, psych, hardrock etc... albums.

Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

That Ephrat debut was really quite good, and very overlooked! I think that "No One's Words" deserves a lot more attention than it got

Thank you, someone finally had to mention Coheed & Cambria in the Heavy Prog section. 

Every single one of their albums has had it's progressive moments, and with the most recent two, the punk/emo influence (if that's what you want to call it), has been completely eliminated.  Hell, The Willing Well might go down as one of the great prog epics ever written. 

I've been saying that this band deserve to be in the Heavy Prog section of progarchives.com ever since their last album "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume 2: No World For Tomorrow" came out. 

They are my favorite modern band, thanks for recognizing them.

I consider Heavy Prog these:
Clear Blue Sky - album cover
 
and These:
Growers of Mushroom - album cover
and these:
Unchained - album cover

Man, that beige artist sure gets around



Let's keep in mind that these are all opinion based - and that while opinions are valid they will likely not be acted upon unless the PROPER team decides to do so.

AKA - don't expect to see Cream or Coheed & Cambria in the Heavy Prog subgenre any time soon.
