Believer albus:
Extraction from Mortality - more straight up and brutal thrash, but still very interesting.
Sanity Obscure - More proggy thrash. I didn't like this as much as Extraction.
Dimesions - 1/2 very proggy thrash, 1/2 thrash/orchestral/opera. Amazing!

Sacrifice should also fit the bill.

They are awesome. They are also not progressive thrash.

They're awesome but I wouldn't put them down as progressive.

And what about that means that I can't appreciate other music?

I just said more or less exactly that.

That tends to be the case.

Sorry, I hit reply without reading the next page.

You could say similar things about many other bands. I dislike the notion that someone particularly liking a certain band makes them 'fanboys' and that 'they can't appreciate other stuff', it's an ignorant way to try to lump a group of people together just because you might not like a certain band as much as they do.

Perhaps, but there are a lot of epics on the first four, well, maybe not the first, and epics are a common part of prog. While they may not be progressive thrash, there are some progressive influences in their early music.
