Songs like THE LAMB, THE PROMISE, ANTICHRIST PT 1, THE NIGHT and 1260 DAYS should not be ever overlooked even by the most decerning progger. Please enjoy.

I have a Saviour Machine album...Legend III:I

It's not bad, but I wish it had more shreddy riffing in it...alot of the songs are kinda at the same pace, and not enough mixing it up as far as riffs go, if you know what I mean. (no, I'm not saying the songs sound the same, it's just they needed more musicianship added to make them more interesting, imo)

Singer has a great, distinctive voice though, kinda Geoff Tate-meets-David Bowie kinda thing...

At the Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours

Don't even think about anything else this band has ever made. This album has nothing to do with any of that and everything to do with being one of the most overlooked technical/progressive death metal marvels in existence.

Incredible album! Even if my favourite is Unquestionable Presence... And, about the whole genre, I think that this is the very best:

Both are magical.

King Eider......Sometaria Spectabilis is a gem of an album in my opinion.

very cool man. Legend 3:1 is great, but yeah that particular part to the trilogy SM really scaled back the guitars big time and went with more orchestration formats with choir as well. I think you should give Legend part 1 a spin. The track, THE SWORD OF ISLAM has one of thee most haunting guitar riffs you've ever heard. It's awesome. Think you will really appreciate that. Also. SM's very first album is an incredible gem with a more guitar based sound. Pick up SAVIOUR MACHINE 1
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣
