Hi, I'm Max from Italy, 18, and I'm quite excited to be part of this forum. I've always used Progarchives to discover new bands, so I hope that through discussion with other people I can discover even more. Prog is one of the genres I love the most, together with Post Rock and various Metal subgenres. These are the main types of music I listen to, but I'm not that strict of course, and I'm always ready to know more. My early listens (ignoring the MTV bands I grew up with) were classics like Genesis, Yes, Rush... The big ones, you see. Then I developed an interest towards a darker and more experimental side of prog (VdGG, Townsend, maudlin of the Well, Kayo Dot etc.), and that's the kind of music I look for, mostly. Regarding the reason for me joining this community, it's simple: I just love discussing music. So I hope I'll have a nice time here. I'm sure I will! |

If you enjoy the darker aspects of music, and like metal, then you are probably already aware of this non-prog band? ------------- Websites I work with: http://www.progressor.net http://www.houseofprog.com My profile on Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/haukevind/ |

Well, no, I didn't know it. Awesome song! I'm already happy! I forgot to say that actually I don't know that much music (generally the big names and some smaller acts), since this is kind of a "recent" interest for me. So, probably, a big part of the suggestions I'll get will be new to me. I'm thankful for this! |

Welcome to the site Max!! It is definitely the place to expand one's tastes and discover lots of music. As well as a damn friendly place to hang out and shoot the sh*t. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Well, if you enjoyed Triptykon (they have two albums out - happy listening) then you might also enjoy Tom Fischer's former band Celtic Frost. ------------- Websites I work with: http://www.progressor.net http://www.houseofprog.com My profile on Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/haukevind/ |

Welcome to the forums! If you'd like some very technical prog-metal, you might want to check out Canvas Solaris. ------------- Check out my music at https://infinite-light.bandcamp.com |
