Death (their post-Human era stuff)
Isis
Cynic
Cult Of Luna

If you're looking for something really new and interesting then try Meshuggah.

Since you like Unitopia, which I suppose it's their latest album, The Garden, bands like The Flower Kings, Karmakanic, Transatlantic, Spock's Beard, The Tangent would add a lot of great stuff to your collection.

I suppose you have already checked Yes and Genesis, but I would recomend you to check them again specially albums like Fragile and The Yes Album by Yes, and Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound by Genesis.

Also, if you liked Pink Floyd and Marillion, the band Pendragon with the album 'The Masquerade Overture' should be a no-brainer.
