Progressive(?) Metal?

[pepper666]

I want to find some recent quality releases in this genre... I have heard a bit of what I think is prog metal...

Dream Theater - Greatest Hit (And...) compilation and I love this one, gonna grab their new album on pay day this week.

Opeth - "Blackwater Park" & "Ghost Reveries", I"m thinking of grabbing the "Candlelight Years" box set cheap second hand...

Kalisia - "Cybion" I"m not sure if this is strictly progressive death metal or what not but it's listed as such at Metal-archives...

I enjoy all of them although Ghost Reveries has a certain tackiness about it that doesn't grab me, like it's a little bit too well produced...

So yeah any other reccomendations, prefer post 2000 or even in the last 3 years releases...

Thank you

Kalisia is awesome.

You might check out Vintersorg.

ZERO HOUR

Will grab Zero Hour on pay day...

i have the chance to get Vintersorg - "Visions From The Spiral Generator" second hand or else I could just grab "Solens Rötter" on pay day as well... which one would you reccomend? or should I just grab both?

 

[Einherjar86]

I do recommend both; Solens Rötter has a more folk-influenced sound. Maybe listen to Visions, and then if you like it check out Solens Rötter.

Into Eternity - Buried in Oblivion

Into Eternity is good. I still can't get into TFAoE. The vocals are atrocious.

 

[The Ozzman]

Well you're gay obviously

NO U


Edit: I find your conclusion erroneous based on the grounds that you dislike Devin Townsend.

 

[The Ozzman]

Everything I've heard from him so far has been complete and utter shit

Ocean Machine is fucking brilliant as are AE and Terria.
His other stuff has its moments but these are the best three.

Devin Townsend.

Indeed. Get Terria, Ocean Machine, Ki, Infinity, Synchestra, Accelerated Evolution and Physicist in that order. Then you can move on to Strapping Young Lad.

 

[The Ozzman]

Synchestra sucks and so does SYL

 

[Ross]

To each his own.
