prog metal band list - make or break?

[killertone]

These are all killer bands that are in the prog metal vein:


Armageddon (Chris Amott side project, very awesome)
Arsis (prog death-ish)
Disarmonia Mundi
Divinity (ENDITOL's band)
Into Eternity (The Scattering of Ashes is killer)

great bands though I personally wouldn't consider any of them prog except maybe Into Eternity. hey killer tone have you heard the other into eternity albums i though scattering was weak compared to the others, awesome guys they crashed at my other guitar players house a few times...



Oh BTW gigp80 have you heard porcupine tree, animals as leaders, periphery, the new cynic record traced in air, I Repress, some more bands to check out you may like.

If you consider IE prog then most of the others I listed would have to be included by default! I did not dig the last IE album near as much as The Scattering of Ashes, I haven't listened to it in a long time though so maybe I will revisit that.

Everyone chill out on the genre nazi-ism! I said "in the vein of prog" in my list, sheesh!

I didn't mean to rip you I just didn't think they were really prog. no vocal inflection on these damn boards!

I'm stupid BTW and got the into eternity albums mixed up. the scattering of ashes is my favorite also, its the newest one I was referring to whatever its called, kind of weak.

No worries! I think technical metal can sometimes be referred to as prog even though the two are pretty different.

For female fronted bands, check out The Agonist. She is hot as hell and they're awesome, especially the second cd. Great live band as well.

I have toured with the Agonist a few times. they are some of my favorite people but I could never get into their music. Alyssa has a great voice and yes is hot (and really, really, nice not the typical bitch who knows shes hot) the band is talented but I'm just not into it. I do love hanging with them though , great people.

I don't generally listen to this stuff, but I have heard OF the bands above.

I just wish that some of the bands in this and other ("scary") genres would quit ripping off Orff's "O Fortuna" and Berlioz's "Witches Sabbath". Epica's "Cry for the Moon" - when the band and singers join in, is clearly influenced by "O Fortuna" (and also sprinkled throughout). I liked it when Randy Rhoads did it for Diary of a Madman cause it was still somewhat original back then, but now its just so cliche.

Then again, Simone can sing just whatever she wants!...
