Recently, Rocking.gr published a list as "The Absolute Guide To Progressive Metal"here http://www.rocking.gr/articles/en/The-Absolute-Guide-To-Progressive-Metal/17150/" rel="nofollow - http://www.rocking.gr/articles/en/The-Absolute-Guide-To-Progressive-Metal/17150/ Although people might argue about this or that, I am more interested in any views of people having listened to the least "known" albums off the list - what would you recommend? Please exclude the likes of DT, Fates Warning, PoS, Sieges Even, Queensryche, Shadow Gallery, Threshold etc. and let's see what other gems we are missing. Albums I have not heard or bands I don't know (quite a few!): 9. Jester's March - Beyond (not on PA) 10. Last Crack - Burning Time (not on PA) 22. Manitou - Entrance 23. Mayfair - Die Flucht 26. Depressive Age - Electric Scum (not on PA) 31. Alchemist - Spiritech 40. Trivial Act - Mindscape 51. Aghora - Aghora 73. Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor 81. Subterranean Masquerade - Suspended Animation Dreams 83. Giant Squid - Metridium Fields 84. Twisted Into Form - Then Comes Affliction To Awaken The Dreamer 87. Grayceon - Grayceon 93. Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape 94. The Shadow Theory - Behind The Black Veil 108. Burst - Lazarus Bird |

Last Crack! Wow, forgot all about them. That was a good album. Haven't heard it in ages, but I remember it being some kinda psychedelic metal. Maybe not 'prog metal' but again I haven't heard it for quite some time now. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

Man, I really want to criticize this list because it's missing a couple of clearly obvious choices in favor of picking really weak albums from giants(No Mars Volta, but Queensryche's Promised Land is on this list? What were you thinking?). Anyway, I didn't listen to that specific Alchemist album, but Organasm is a good listen. Imagine a much more progressive version of Mastodon. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/thamazingbender" rel="nofollow">

Definitely listen to Burst - Lazarus Bird if you're a fan of Baroness,
High on Fire, Mastodon, Converge etc. It's a phenomenal album. Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape is a great traditional prog metal album with catchy melodies and great riffs. It also features Tommy Karevik who's now the singer for Kamelot. The Aghora album is a jazz fusion metal offshoot of Cynic. It features female vocals as well as a lot of Indian influence both musically and lyrically. I like that one quite a bit, highly recommend it. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/adace/?chartstyle=lastfmblue">
