Tech/Extreme Related Artists?

Nile is too much for me. And I like some brutal/crazy stuff!

Anyone know of the bands: Coroner and Path of Debris?
My brother said they're progressive-ish but hes not to into that stuff, so I dont know how right he is

Never really considered Nile worthy of inclusion here.While I really dig them,they are pretty much a brutal death band,imho.Just because their lyrical content is influenced by ancient Egypt and they incorporate some middle eastern influences in their music doesn't make them proggy.Heck,Karl Sanders solo albums are more worthy of inclusion if you ask me(but not in any PM sub).

^ Yes, and I find Nile in general pretty progressive. It might be just me, but I think their approach is much more progressive than a lot of the Tech/Extreme bands already here.

There aren't many votes regarding the progressiveness of the albums ... you're welcome to add your opinion!

One of my first actions as a member was recommending Gorguts to the archive.   It would be wonderful if they got in. 

And Obsucra is not their only progressive album.  From Wisdom to Hate and The Erosion of Sanity both have very proggy moments.


As for Emperor, their most progressive album (and their worst, imo) is Prometheus.

That's cool, I hear you there. However, that being the case...I don't want to hear people complain about "X" does not belong here!

Well there are plenty of bands like that already in the archives. Some big names would be The Beatles, The Who, Rush, etc.

There also plenty who were prog but then stopped releasing prog: Genesis, Yes, Wishbone Ash, etc.

Well, it is a little late now...
Besides, the classical progressive bands would be fine. I think it should only be for albums from overall NON prog bands.

For example, Death. Overall, there is no way you can call them progressive metal. They are a death metal band, and they should not be here...however, they do have prog metal albums. And its in THOSE cases a "Prog Album" section would be used for.

I truly don't understand how this isn't in PA already) This is a perfect example why PA should be album-based instead of artist-based. As far as I understand Gorguts have not been included because the rest of their material is quite conventional death metal.

Thank You! Thats what I never got. There is all this debate about whether or not a band is prog or not, or if a metal band with 7 albums but 3 are prog should they make it in based on a few? It would be so much easier to have a prog album section for all those.

Gorguts would fit like a glove in the Tech/ extreme catagory because of Obscura. I fully agree. Strapping as well for the Alien album.
