Surely you've heard of Symphony X and Vanden Plas. These guys are in the Prog metal category. How about Spock's Beard or Porcupine Tree? No so much metal, but very good with some great hard rock moments. |

PoS...Opeth...my favorite bands. Agalloch - very emotional vocals, sometimes blackish, interesting instrumentation (cellos, trombones, deer antlers) in some songs Arcturus - symphonic post-black metal, very theatrical vocals Evergrey - melodic symphonic thrash metal? emotional...the singer is one of a kind Green Carnation - melodic metal Kamelot - symphonic metal Orphaned Land - Isreali everything metal, if you liked POS's Be, you will piss yourself listening to Mabool. Porcupine Tree - not so much metal as pyschodelic rock. Steven Wilson of this band produces Opeth albums. (I left off some of my favorites, but I have really strange tastes. |

Don't know if your into some of the more technical prog metal bands. I find some of them to be the best. For example: Zero Hour: Towers Of Avarice Fates warning: A Pleasant Shade Of Grey OSI: OSI Spiral Architect: A Sceptic's Universe Dream Theater: Scenes From A Memory Heres some great melodic prog metal: Threshold: Hypothetical Pain Of Salvation: Remedy Lane Dream Theater: Images And Words Pantommind: Shade Of Fate Andromeda: II=I borderline technical John Arch: A Twist Of Fate Symphony X: V ( Essential Neoclassical Prog Metal ) Riverside: Out Of Myself ( Not really metal, but great )
