Those of you who don't know Heaven's Cry ... did you listen to the samples on their homepage (it's in my database)? What do you think about them?

Oh shid. >_>

Arcturus
Windham Hell
Subterranean Masquerade
Solefald (GET PILLS AGAINSTTHE AGELESS ILLS NOW!)

and even though it isn't prog you need to get the following:

Agalloch - Pale Folklore
Agalloch - The Mantle

>_> Just felt the need to plug them in.

EDIT: King, how the hell does Russel "growl"? He has never once done harsh vocals.

Try the samples from their newer album ... they're long enough to get a good impression of the songs.

The compilation already exists, but it's a dvd (Dream Theater's live at Budokan).

My more serious proposal for a compilation would look like this:

Disc I
1. Dream Theater (Regression)
2. Shadow Gallery (Vow)
3. Pain Of Salvation (Idioglossia)
4. Vanden Plas (Rainmaker)
5. Zero Hour (Metamorphosis)
6. Rush (YYZ)
7. Porcupine Tree (Gravity Eyelids)
8. Tool (Eulogy)
9. Dream Theater (Finally Free)

Disc II
Dream Theater (Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence)

Disc III
Pain Of Salvation (BE)

Forty Six and Two would be a better choice for a song off of Aenima

As a matter of fact, i do not interest in progressive metal very much. it is not my cup of tea. all those distortion guitars all the time, you know...

but i would like to try just ONE prog- metal album, only one band.

which album and band do you recommend?

i've listen to dream theatre - didnt like it. I've listen to tool - quite impressed. BUT i heard two tracks from the LATERALUS album - they looked quite similar to each other.

SO shall i try another band/album, or shall i try TOOL?

what are your recommandation for me, progressive-metal heads?



This'll probably seem n00bish but..."Moving Pictures" by Rush might be a good start.

If someone gets scared by something like Pain of Salvation or Symphony X then they probably shouldn't listen to anything harder than Yes.   (don't get me wrong, I love Yes)

I would recomend "dead soul tribe" and their album Murder of crows. Prog-metal without beeing to metal. Baybe even anekdoten at their heaviest? Vemod and nucleus is king crimson with metal influenses. Norwegian Magic pie would also do the job.
It is said to be the first Test-pressing of the corean release??

My best advise is: Keep away from Metal prog. There is way too much real progressive rock to stay busy for the rest of your life.

I once started buying "Iron maidenīs" albums, "Dream Tīs" and some other metal bands. I might have spent enough money to buy every important album by "Banco", "PFM", "Rush", "Camel", "Jethro", and many "one album" bands I had not in that period of time. Today I still donīt have them all and regret everyday I bought all that metal.

If you were not impressed and found out every album is similar to other, trust me, buying more wonīt make you feel any different.

You view get's more and more narrow ... btw: also stay away from Classical and Jazz ... it will only distract you from Prog Rock, the only good genre.

^ Hey, hey I'm also a Jazz and Classical freak, Mike

That was very narrow-minded though.

I love irony ... I admit it was borderline sarcasm though.
