I've taken a big of a prog and metal hiatus for awhile, but I'm starting to get that itch again. So what's good for 2013? Is anyone doing anything truly new and fresh?
I'm listening to Leprous' Coal right now, and it feels like the best of their 3 from my point of view. I did check out Riverside's new one and it's solid though it seems to be following the Opeth / PoS route to 70's prog with the same mixed results. Anyway, what new is exciting proggers? |

^So far, I'm enjoying "Perilous" by Glass Hammer and "In Extremis" by Days Between Stations.
"Perilous" features Jon Davison, who now appears to be the permanent replacement for Jon Anderson & Benoit David in Yes, and "In Extremis" features Tony Levin on all tracks, with guest appearances by Rick Wakeman, Billy Sherwood and Peter Banks. This represents Banks' last recordings before he perished. Good stuff! |

What's new?
Symphony X's ICONOCLAST (2011) is very well done. OSI--FIRE MAKE THUNDER(2012). Best album from the band to date! SEVENTH CIRCLE--THE STRUGGLE (remaster 2013). This will be released in July. NIGHTWISH--IMMAGINARIUM(2011). This was runner up to RUSH's CLOCKWORK ANGELS for album of the year in 2012 for the PROG awards presented by prog rock magazine. :) ORPHANLAND--ALL IS ONE(2013.) this one just came out from the Israeli supergroup. Lots of choirs with a huge production behind this album. It's a must have for 2013 prog metal heads. That's all I can think of, but Dream Theater are releasing a new album on sept/24/2013 so that is pretty exciting. |

It's not really prog but I was listening to Peter Murphy's most recent album "Ninth" today, and it's got some great tracks on it. Rock with some depth to it and his lyrics and vocals are unique.

I know me some DT. Really liked the last album despite the horrible cover. Still partial to Awake.

Also. ARENA and PENDRAGON's CLIVE NOLAN released an incredible 2cd concept album that was 4 years in the making called ALCHEMY(2013) It's really brilliant. It's a theatrical rock opera that takes palce during the renaissance period and the album is accompanied by some lovely female vocals. A lot of depth and production went into this album just like AYREON's THE HUMAN EQUATION. Can't miss this one.

I guess I was just looking for starting points as I dive back in.
And it's fun to hear folks' opinions. Thanks to those who gave me some good ideas.

they have an extensive history of albums so it should be narrowed down to: Images and Words - their highest rated album on PA Awake - my favourite of theirs they stretched themselves a bit for Scenes From A Memory and Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence which are both good. The safest place to start is Octavarium which has a few passing nods to classic prog avoid Train Of Thought which is out and out metal. Systematic Chaos is the last one I got by them but I don't like it. |

I agree with everything you just said except about TRAIN OF THOUGHT. I think that is an exceptional album. DT's whole central focus was to create their most ballzy metal opus yet. I think they succeeded. Still till this day it is their heaviest release. ;) Don't break my heart Richard. ......... |

I actually hated it so much I swapped it for Tool - Lateralus. I don't mind 'heavy' just don't like 'boring'. So sorry

It's very good, personally I think it's better than their first album, they are probably the best modern zeuhl band out there. You can get it from Lasers Edge for $18. http://www.lasercd.com/node/9686 |

Awe that's cool. I respect your opinion. And swapping it for TOOL's LATERALUS also, is a respectable move. That's one of the very best experimental prog metal albums today. ;) I think with regards to 'Train of Thought' some things like James LaBrie rapping in AS I AM or the repetitious chorus of IN THE NAME OF GOD I can understand bugging and boring people. ;) |
