I picked Diablo Swing Orchestra just because they are so unique but i really love most of these.

You mean like Haken? LOL

As for Diablo Swing Orchestra the name sounds familiar but I can't say I've heard their music.

Haken has become hard to place. Their first three albums exist somewhere between Heavy and Symphonic, with hints of metal. But the metal sound has increased every single album. You can even hear an increase between Aquarius and Visions. Affinity continues the trend with some crossover elements. Vector and Virus are basically prog metal albums. That seems to be where they are now.

And they've lost me! Too much metal, not enough melodies. I guess that puts me in the "symphonic" category.

I must say that Visions (2011), The Mountain (2013) and Affinity (2016) are all excellent in my book.

More like late 90's and early 2000's.

I'm sorry. You said Riverside but for some reason I was thinking of Pain of Salvation. I don't really know Riverside that well so I won't make an official comment.

Diablo Swing Orchestra is so avant-garde; not only just because it got 3 votes as a band from the bottom of the list, but also because they grant a wingless demon with wings. (Diablo's Wing Orchestra)

There is only one on this list that I know and like, and that is Diablo Swing Orchestra. It's my favourite in the Progressive Metal category.
Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act

I like them a lot too, but went with my favourite band Symphony X.

I agree that Vector is prog metal. Virus has not been released yet. Have you heard the entire album? Of the three songs available from Virus it's hard to say if it will be heavy like Vector or not.

Personally, I'm basing it on the three released singles. However, it has been leaked somewhere, and my friend got a hold of the leak. He sent me a link, but out of respect for the musicians, I didn't listen. But my friend did mention it was similar to Vector and that he was underwhelmed.
