Progressive Metal Music

I couldn't get into the first book (album), but the second one was easily my favorite album of 2021.

It may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Asymmetry is my favorite Karnivool album. As much as I love Sound Awake, I feel like this is their most coherent album. Here's just hoping we can get some more material from them soon.

I am really excited for the upcoming album. I enjoyed the last single, but this one is amazing. Baroness always nails the use of harmony and this song is no exception there; both in terms of guitar and vocals. I'm not sure yet what to compare it to, but I'm a huge fan of the vocal style in the verse.

The YouTube compression does a number on this one so highly recommend listening on something else, but the absurdity will still come across.

Hey guys, figured this would pique some interest here, this is a new project between Diego Tejeida formerly of Haken, Eric Gillette from the Neal Morse Band, Simen Sandness from Shining, and Fredrick Klemp from Maraton.

Nothing really groundbreaking or experimental, but it's some good melodic prog metal.

more doomy than prog but the intro is fun and the song slaps

One of my favorite prog metal and rock bands

Featuring Sean Harmanis from Make Them Suffer, and filmed at my uni campus :)

The Real Stampede

I’m slowly making my way through Between the Buried and Me’s discography and having a lot of fun. The Great Misdirect was the album that got me into them. I’m curious what everyone’s favorite album is from them and why. Right now mine would probably be The Parallax I or The Great Misdirect, but that could change soon! I also haven’t really gotten too much into Colors for some reason but hope to sometime soon.

Found this band just a few weeks ago and really like this album.

The new solo album by Leprous frontman Einar Solberg is pretty great imo. This is the heaviest track, with Ihsahn doing some harsh vocals.

Apparently BTBAM is not allowed on the new progressive metal sub on Reddit for some reason. But this will always be my favorite song from one of my favorite albums of all time

New Alkaloid single. Pretty good if you ask me 🤘

Went to the Dreamsonic 2023 Tour this week in Philly and had a blast! About 3.5 hours of epic prog music. Animals as Leaders were technically magnificent as always, Dream Theater once again knows how to wow, even if Labrie is getting a bit shaky on the vocals. Devin Townsend though was the highlight of the night for me with his incredible vocal skills and showmanship. Wish the venue was a little more "lively", but all in all a killer performance from all. Anybody else go or is going?

Given we all live in a decidedly niche music sphere, I thought it might be helpful if we share our tips/tricks for finding new artists. Here's my tried and true: everynoise.com
