Got to be Watchtower follow closely by Spiral Architect and Spastik Ink, trully amazing bands, they play a complex metal with jazzy influence and the result is a fantastic one, not boring just chalenging for every serious listner.

I don't see why Cynic is winning. Focus is the best jazz metal of all time, but I think people are not look at bands in a whole. It has only been one album. Meshuggah gets my vote.

ATHEIST were a sort of progressive techno-thrash metal band who released three fantastic albums between 1989 and 1993. Their second release "Unquestionable Presence" (1991) is maybe one of the most technical albums ever recorded by an heavy-metal band. "Elements" (1993) is an incredible album, characterised by pyrotechnician fusion lashes!!!

There's a Bill Laswell/Tony Williams project with Buckethead called Arcana (also the name of the company where I work) that fits the Jazz Metal shoe.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

When I first heard that album, I thought it was going to be better, or at least jazzy, but in reality it's not even close, it's again technical, complex, dissonant, some times melodic, kind of experimental, it's metal and evidently for meshuggah fans only

And please, let's not confuse good metal musicianship with jazz, those things are totally opposite in every sense.

Hm, I don't jazz-metal exists really, there're all technical metal bands, be it melodic, dissonant, etc.

I don't know what happens, but when a metal bands turns up the volume of the bass guitar everyone thinks that's jazz and even fusion, metal is far far away from jazz, note that, is it jazz or metal, one at the time and never both.

Can't vote as atheist aren't on the poll =/

Yeah it's my favourite album lol

Quote Obviously ;-) WatchTower, Pioneers and fantastic, extremely unique musicians and great songwriting - and very techy but catchy, like "The Fall of Reason" or "Control and Resistance", I love how far they really are away from regular "heavy metal riffing" in most of their songs. It's just too bad that they still haven't made "Mathmatics", although Spastic Ink and Ron Jarzombeks solo stuff is great to bridge the time.


Yeah gotta give props to the first ever prog metal band, it's not particularly jazzy though, just technical.


Also you guys should check out nekropsi, really good clean (for the most part) instrumental jazz/metal hybrid, really interesting stuff.

Have any of you listened to Coprofago? They win this catagory hands down. They are really the only ones who hold up both ends of the criteria.
