So far for 2013...
SEVENTH CIRCLE--The line (ep), The struggle (original version and remixed.) and the album The Vanishing.
I-DRAGON-I-- formally known as the wedding party and have one album to their credit at this point I-dragon-I. Incredible gothic rock album. :)
Beyond Twilight--Section X. Amazing prog metal concept album with a storyline that is beyond BIZZARE. Lol
Agalloch--knew about these guys for a while, but finally picked up one of their albums Ashes against the grain. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Threshold--Critical Mass. Amazing prog metal album with not one weak track on it. Drumming is incredible.
Marc Streitenfeld-- The Grey movie soundtrack. Absolutely sublime music scores that are dark, ambient and sweetly mellow as well.
Lastly, my best discovery this year so far i think is ROYAL HUNT-Paradox.
My favourite album of this year. Came out in 1997. Lol better late than never. :)

This thread needs a serious revival!
One of the biggest discoveries for me recently was hearing Alcest's Écailles de Lune. What a beautiful album!
Of new music, I am thoroughly impressed with what I've heard of the recent Henry Fool record.

STRAY homonymous debut.
Seems I always had a copy of "Suicide" and the third release , but somehow this slipped thru the cracks.
Was totally blown over this year by the excellence of the first lp.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Plastic People - Birth Control
I've known this band for 2 years or so but my fav albums were always Operation and Hoodoo Man. So this year I disovered Plastic People is even better than those two albums.

My biggest discoveries this year I would have to say were mainly non-prog bands, but bands that in a way or another are related to prog (or new prog) and even some Rap (or Hip Hop, whatever the name of that genre of music actually is):
Deftones Muse Incubus (Wow! Some band!, their albums "A Crow Left Of The Murder" & "Light Grenades" should be listened by all who call themselves music lovers) Niemen (recommended psychedelic-blues-prog-rocker from Belorussia) Neal Morse (actually discovered him last year, but it was only until this year that I really was blown away by his genius) Tangerine Dream (and a few other similar bands, Can for example, but TD especially)
On a separate category I'd like to note some Hip Hop that has seriously blown my mind away: Jedi Mind Tricks (Hip Hop duo who use orchestral, symphonic and just very original sampling and of course incredible lyricism and flow) Wu-Tang Clan (and some of their solo materials, especially GZA, Method Man and RZA)
And I would like to propose a toast to musical open-mindedness and understanding.
