There's a few good ones on here, but Areknames gets my vote. Hardly a typical Italian prog band, more along the lines of Anekdoten meets Porcupine Tree meets VdGG. Terrific vocalist, nice sorrowful moods, plenty of light and shade. A wonderful modern progressive band! I've enjoyed some of the work of others on this list like Hostsonaten and The Watch too. I think the most recent one I've heard was the latest from Mangala Vallis, and if I recall, the vocals sounded like that guy from Pain of Salvation, so definately not for me.

If you like Areknames i recommend you Men Of Lake (Ouch!!! i forgot to add them in the list) , "Out of the Water" it´s my favorite album, they sound like a mellow vdgg meets KC

I'll take Moongarden simply for their Round Midnight album, also The Watch brings me a lot of enjoyment.

Hostsonaten, followed by Mangalla Vallis and Ezra Winston. The EW album I heard is a lost masterpiece IMO.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Hostsonaten! Summereve and Winterthrough are stunning. No vocals though!

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I've heard about a third of these bands and Asgard is my favourite by a mile. I especially love Esoteric Poem.

no vote because I love at least half of them...maybe Asgard, Hostsonaten and Ezra Winston if I had to vote a top 3.

For me too, very tough to pick only one From the list i consider masterpieces: Asgard - "Arkana" and "Imago Mundi" Ezra Winston - "Ancient Afternoons" Moongarden - "Roundmidnight" Eris Pluvia - "Rings of earthly light" The Watch - "Vacuum" Arenakmés - "In case of loss" But all thebands are great

Also would recommend Musica e Parole, and the English language version of that album, simply known as "Libra". Also "Winter Day's Nightmare".
