25 acts with 5 studio albums between 2010 and now

The 2010 up oeuvre...

So this is a much expanded (five times to be precise) edition of the poll that had five acts with five studio albums that were released between the start of 2010 and the beginning of November, 2022. Those acts were Dream Theater, The Flower Kings, Magenta, Swans and Anna von Hausswolffe. I asked people to consider all of the albums (based on their knowledge) that were released in that timeframe when voting. I also mentioned people bringing up names not in my little list of five acts with five albums from 2010 until now. I got a lot of mentions, particularly from Drew (BrufordFreek), and also from Will (Grumpyprogfan) (I expect each know much more modern Prog than I do -- I long ago got into French TV at least).

Drew, who voted for Anna von Hausswolff in the past poll, mentioned liking the five by "The Amazing, Björn Riis, Caligula's Horse, Comedy of Errors, Corde Oblique, Dreadnaught, IOEarth, Jordsjø, Karda Estra, Leap Day, The Mercury Tree, Moulettes (Hannah Moule and the), The Psychedelic Ensemble, and Von Hertzen Brothers." Will voted for DT in that poll and mentioned "Thank You Scientist, Lonely Robot, Sanguine Hum, The Aristocrats, French TV, The Psychedelic Ensemble." My only contribution to this expansion is Cult of Luna, which brings it to 25.

So please consider all of the studio albums from 2010 up (or as much as you can based on your knowledge) when making your choice and not the ones before. It would be appreciated if you could say something about your favourites (favourites in the list, favourite albums of the period....). There's a lot for me to learn about here, and I would like to hear about other that would fit this poll here. And feel free to vote even with significantly limited knowledge both of all the choices and even your one choice as long as that knowledge is based on 2010 and later music.

I might do a four albums one later, I could more easily list many more of those from my preferences (especially if going more of a General Music Discussions route).

I don't know a lot of material from most of the poll options. I do know all of the relevant music from both Anna von Hausswolff and Swans, and like in the last poll it is between those two for me. I did end up giving Anna von H. a vote in the last poll (Dead Magic and The Miraculous being particular favourites, and Ceremony is up there too as well especially), and this time I will give it to Swans. To Be Kind (2014), The Glowing Man (2016) and The Seer (2012) are all excellent to my ears and I also really like leaving meaning. (2019). I haven't enjoyed My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky (2010) as much as those others, but I still like it.

Awesome list I voted for The Flower Kings

Two are EP's. The EP TYS released last year flew under the radar and has only 28 ratings here.

TYS combines different musical genres, yet their overall sound is unique. Brutal, soft, and catchy all at the same time. Great arrangements with space for the strings and brass to shine. Also, Tom Monda is one of the best guitar players you have never heard of.

Magenta

Jordsjo but I'm not into a lot of these.

What I"ve heard of The Aristocrats, Jordsjø and Karda Estra was quite good. Some others from the list that seem to be "popular" prog acts nowadays have nothing exceptional to my ears. The only one who sounds really exceptional to me is Anna Von Hausswolff, so she gets my vote.
