Looking for music like new Mastodon

   This happens everytime I find a new prog band I like. I'm sure others do the same.

These are some of the prog metal/heavy prog bands I like:
Mastodon
The Mars Volta
Rush
King Crimson
Porcupine Tree
Riverside
Pain of Salvation
Dream Theater (from Scenes from a Memory to Train of Thought)
Ayreon
I have tried Symphony X, Nightwish and Shadow Gallery and I am not a fan.
I think what I like is the blend of complexity and mood with groove.
Suggestions?

	Oh, forgot to mention Tool. 'The Pot' is awesome.

	If you want to try some bands similar to Mastodon I highly recommend the bands Baroness and Bison B.C.
