Have you already listened to Willowglass - The Dream Harbour? It's another nice album from 2013, an all instrumental album which features an Andrew Marshall's original style. I didn't listened yet to Book of Hours, is it only instrumental too?
 
I haven't never heard about the brasilian Aether though.

Yes! Glass Hammer and Ars Nova are really good symph bands too.

Another ones that I have listened and like could be

Grand Stand
Echolyn
Isildurs Bane
Karmakanic

and the brasilian Aether and the argentinians Nexus and Laquesis, the three of them great bands.

Between Anglagard and Discipline. I personally like their stuff better than most of their 70s ancestors. Hmm... this is tough!

If pressed...

Anglagard overall, but Discipline has the best individual album with Unfolded Like Staircase. That album is perfect to my ears and sits in my top 5 for sure.

White Willow has an interesting soundscape but i felt them excessively folk for me to enjoy them better, maybe beacuse i knew only the albums Ignus Factus and Storm Season, from which i only care for "Sally Left" and "The Withering Of The Boughs" (this from Ignus Factus).

They're certainly very folky on the first two albums, Ignis Fatuus The Withering of the Boughs is an excellent song BTW) and Ex Tenebris, but it's much more balanced on Sacrament and there's virtually no folk at all on Storm Season. Signal to Noise is a bit more Neo Prog in tone and Terminal Twilight is an exceptional Symph Prog album, evoking the classics without sounding like any of them.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Never was into any of these. Probably about time, though, that I give Anglagard another chance.

Amenophis' "Notre Dame Tres Honorable" and "Venus" are the ones i enjoyed from their debut album, is there any others you'd suggest me ? Have you already listened to their brand new 2014 album "Time"?

Some good bands, but Discipline is uncontested here, the more because Echolyn has not entered the field yet.
