Thanatopsis

Since all "Add Buckethead" topics usually only end in pointless arguing, I thought it might be a better idea to add this awesome band, at least.

Buckethead - Guitar
Travis Dickerson - Keyboards, Percussion
Ramy Antoun - Drums


Albums:

Thanatopsis
Example track, "Twinge"
This is the least proggy album, but I still think it's either heavy prog or extreme prog. Lots of strange synthesisers and (most importantly) a Hammond.

Axiology
Example track, "Axiology"
Lots of Jazz/Rock fusion in here. Not a lot of metal, unlike the first album. Much proggier.

Anatomize
Example track, "Common Ground"
The proggiest album of them all, with even more hammond and rhodes and whatnot. Pretty much pure Jazz/Rock fusion.


I know I am supposed to add a picture of the band, but there simply are none.

Even Wikipedia lists them as progressive metal (although they're not really metal on their second and third albums).

Well, I suppose they're more rock than metal, but what matters is whether they are prog or not. I think they are, at least. I hope I'm not the only one?

Well no, it actually is important what genre they are.
If everyone just came here and said "HEY GUISE PROG BAND FOR YOU PEOPELZ TO CHECK OUT", it would be a severe pain in the ass for it have to be spent to several genre teams just to decide what genre it is.
Saves us a lot of time and effort if the band gets sent to the right genre team the first time around.

Oh yeah, I should actually listen to it first I suppose, lol. I tell ya what I think in a little while.
