David, which are the 10 PM albums you like? We might be able to point you in the direction of something similar?

Fates Warning  (USA)          The Spectre Within                         (Prog, a. 2014)   (1985)

Psychotic Waltz  (USA)         Into the Everflow                         (Prog, a. 2010)    (1992)

Gordian Knot  (USA)            Gordian Knot                                (Prog, a. 2009)    (1999)

Tool                                    Lateralus                             (Alternative/Prog, a. 2010)   (2001)

Aesma Daeva  (USA)            The Eros of Frigid Beauty      (Symph/Goth/Prog, a. 2022 Tongue) (2001)

Taal  (F)                              Skymind                                         (Prog, a. 2011)   (2002)

OSI  (USA)                          Office Of Strategic Influence               (Prog, a. 2012)   (2003)

Indukti  (PL)                        S.U.S.A.R.                                       (Prog, a. 2011)    (2004)

Riverside  (PL)                     Second Life Syndrome                      (Prog, a. 2018)   (2005)


I can tell that I like best heavy and organic, not synthetic sound, and not much Pop-influence.


As I seem to have seen it, most of Prog Metal is influenced by Neo-Prog, and what I like is that without this influence. At the same time, I don't like growling vocals, so it hasn't been easy for me with Prog Metal, and it has been some easier with non-Prog.

^ Technically, you're saying he's lying about not having been familiar with the internet before the year 2010. I didn't say you accuse him of being a liar. According to you, he is not telling the truth here. I would be surprised if that is the fact. Wink

I like most prog metal, and most of it that I've come to be familiar with is/was due to PA!  I was never a real "metal head" growing up (except some early Rush); now I like it more than ever, and have even gotten into some of the growls (which I used to despise).

But nearly all my friends who like Prog (to some degree--few are actually "prog-heads" like I am) do NOT generally like the prog metal I've presented to them.

BTW, so far, this poll seems to verify the conversation of just a couple days ago in my random shuffle post: (someone suggested PA was becoming "metal archives" but this comment was met with much disagreement, and I suggested heavier tracks seemed not to do as well in the random polls).

There should be lots of people who still don't use the internet. It is not THAT weird.

He's from England, so that's why I find it hard to believe he wasn't familiar with the internet until 2010.

Not surprisingly, I'm no fan of Dream Theater's Systematic Chaos album either, although I'll resist the temptation to give it a thumbs down. Smile

How does anyone not know about the internet in 2010? Confused
I must have led a sheltered life. Tongue

In my defence though, there were no full albums on YouTube in 2010 -  videos were still limited to 15 minutes duration back then.

If it is bullets we are talking about while saying "progressive metal"s, I surely stay away from them. If I had the powers of Neo though, I could stop them.

Delectable-Variable-Bandicoot-max-1mb

Did I say Neo?

I missed our Neo-Prog discussions with Paul. I was using a different account then, though.

No, i like prog metal.    I was a metal fan first before i was into any prog music.    Got into Arena in 2004, got into Savatage in 2006, into Threshold and Dreamscape in 2007.    Then eventually gave classic prog rock goes.
