Best prog metal band

[Suspense]

Enjoy mate. I am still spewing I missed it. Listening to 'White Walls' right now and am kicking myself

Is that with Bleeding Through etc?

Nope. Their own sideshow.

Do want that ****ing tour poster. Do you know if they played the whole of Colors live at the gig up your way?

I only just discovered Ayreon.
Holy s**t balls, where have I been these years and not noticed this group.
The Human Equation, Binary and The Theory of Everything they are all fantastic albums.
Can't wait for the Source and that preview song "The Day That The World Breaks Down" OMG!

Wow, just checked out "Disillusion - Back to Times of Splendor" (thanks KFC)

AWESOME. +1 Fan.

Although I do like prog-metal, I wouldn't say I've listened to it extensively... however I have seen many references on the internet to this album being the best prog-metal album of all time.

It is very good IMO.

no vauxdvihl? melbourne's own. seem to be better regarded outside of australia than in it.

I must like prog metal because I have the cd Dimension Hatross by Voi Vod.

Tribal Convictions is one of the best songs ever written.

Only the 4th post to get to Voivod. Nice.


To name a band myself: Stargazer probably the best from Australia, but a little more harsh.

 

[Dicky Fitzwell]

More melodic but id say say "Rush" win...Enchant - Blueprint of the World is also a beauty....more metal Fates Warning...and the mighty Psychotic Waltz

Dream Theater of course up to

Everything since has been a bit s**t

Just discovered Circus Maximus recently who are bit like DT lite but still pretty good. Seem to be absolutely massive in Japan



Also if you haven't heard Haken, they will blow your mind. The Mountain being my fave album from which this pearler is taken with a fantastic Muppets-esque clip. The world's best contemporary prog-metal band IMO

 

[2006_Eagles]

For the best in newish Aussie prog rock/metal, look no further than sleepmakeswaves and Caligula's Horse IMO

 

[Cats408]

dream theater, periphery, protest the hero & between the buried and me

 

[ibd77]

Ayreon - The Source
New album out now.

 

[HARKER]

What about Earthside?
A very accomplished collective although not particular to my taste.

I'd go Blut Aus Nord and no better example than this although maybe not quite Prog.

Just love this track. Brilliant.

 

[BlueFlame]

Erra may not be the best but they are damn good and you should give a listen

 

[2006_Eagles]

Just discovered these Italian dudes. Pretty great.



Nice little keys solo too about 3:10 in

 

[2006_Eagles]

Holy s**t I just discovered this amazing Aussie proggy, groovy, djenty band Transcience.

Very riminssicnet of Karnivool, Dead Letter, Butterfly Effect without feeling derivative





Got damn they are good, can't believe I've just found out about them

Vooligan
