I like specific bands in most metal genres that have any hope of being called prog.
 
Subdividing metal is always a sloppy affair though this one is especially messy.
 
I like:
 
Technicality
Layers
Jazzy drumming
Cleaner vocals with harsh harmony
Non standard song structure
 
But I'll line up for a great riff no matter what genre.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Progressive Metal and some Experimental/Post Metal. I don't like Death or Doom Metal at all and I'm not too fond of guitar heroism either. I like most of Dream Theater and Maudlin of the Well and sometimes I hear a random chosen sample of one or another Prog Metal band that I like.

Also, Greg, I hope I'm only being redundant here by recommending you Indukti. They're a must, you probably know them already. I mean, psychedelic metal with haunting violin and harp! They're a bit extreme, though. Not very 70s (but they do sound a lot like an updated 72-74 King Crimson).



I'm starting to flood here, sorry! Here's some splendid psychedelic metal-fusion:



I wouldnt say Indukti are particularly extreme, at least not on SUSAR, though I think you could say Idmen is very intense.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Maybe another way of saying Experimental/Post Rock ? I'm not sure though. I do love atmospheric,dark music like IN THE WOODS...

Definitely prog metal. The others are usually to heavy for my tastes.

Haha one day I'm gone and look at this, three pages. By the way I forgot to put the Experimental/Post-Metal above, I'm sorry. You can use Doom/Drone/Atmospheric as that though. Tongue
It's not an unexpected thing to see Prog Metal as 1st but my favourite genre is of course Prog Black/Avant-Garde as you can see in my avatar.

Enslaved, Negura Bunget, Arcturus, Ulver, Emperor, Blut Aus Nord, Deathspell Omega, Agalloch, Shining, Lifelover, Coldworld, Diabolical Masquerade, Dodheimsgard, Fen, Ihsahn, Peccatum, Oranssi Pazuzu, Secrets Of The Moon, Sigh, etc...

I'm going to have to go with none of the above.  I won't slam them though because metal fans carry knives and aren't afraid to use them.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I don't think I'll ever understand Drone/Doom metal.

Prog Doom/Drone/Atmospheric is my favorit followed by Prog Black/Avant-Garde and then Prog Death/Technical/Math.
And last is the traditional prog metal which im no big fan of.
