I've enjoyed:
Culpeper's Orchard
Causa Sui
Dr. Dopo Jam
Secret Oyster
Taylor's Free Universe
Robin Taylor
Afenginn
Nicklas Sørensen

A modern one I like, and not in PA, but to me it is relevant enough, is Tales of Murder and Dust (it has cinematic, atmospheric qualities that I very much like and fits in well with music I have been listening to).

This is its 2020 album: https://talesofmurderanddust.bandcamp.com

And the whole album on youtube (uploaded by the official people so I have no issues about sharing the full album like this):

I personally really enjoyed Ache - Pictures from Cyclus 7. BTW, the title of the thread is in Swedish. You might wanna fix that. xD

Actually, it's an interesting question, how come that the modern Prog (at least "proper") hasn't thrived as well in Denmark as in Sweden and Norway. I don't really have any answer on that, but it seems to me that the Danes are more into Roots Rock, and I've been thinking that we're maybe more "provincial".

The difference is very little (maybe except from for the Danes Big smile). In "Danish" it would be: "Kom så Danmark!"

Secret Oyster
Alrune Rod
Foreningen til Livets Beskyttelse
Vindharpen
Coronarias Dans
Heavy Joker
Mew
Burnin' Red Ivanhoe
Afenginn

Not in PA:

John Tchicai (Jazz)

Afsky (Black Metal)
Carsten Meinert Kvartet/CM Musictrain (jazz)
Palle Mikkelborg (Jazz)
Gert Thrue (Progressive Electronic)

Well, clicking on that video was a case of curiosity killed the cat I suppose, but I do like a lot of Metal bands as you know, including:- Ayreon; Black Sabbath; Delain; Dream Theater; Iron Maiden; Leaves' Eyes Nightwish; & Within Temptation to name just eight. Oh, and not forgetting Christopher Lee!


If you really like those bands, then I don't get it how you thought the Pyramaze song was too heavy... Confused
But whatever...
I'm just not into Power Metal that's all. It's no great mystery. I can't name one Power Metal band that's appealing  to my ears., but there are plenty I find appalling. Tongue

+ I listen to Mercyful Fate's first two albums which in many ways are quite progressive - or proto-progressive metal.

There are power metal elements in Ayreon's music and also in symphonic metal, that you seem to enjoy so much.

“Prog proper” 😄😄😄😄

Almost all of my list is “prog proper”, and modern. If you mean, what is prog to you, that is not at all the same thing as “prog proper”. Proper, by definition, relates to what is generally understood and recognised - not what is individually understood and recognised.

The dictionary definition (at least, the dictionary in my house, but I’m sure if I Google I will find plenty of other similar definitions) for proper is “denoting something that it is truly what is said or regarded to be”, and while you could infer from that definition an individual viewpoint, it is clearly meant to imply a general viewpoint.

If you can look almost anywhere, and find that a band or artist is said, or regarded to be, prog; then it is “prog proper”. Almost all the bands and artists I listed are described as prog on social media, on websites, at festivals and concerts, in reviews, etc. I could add by their label and by themselves (on their websites, Bandcamp sites, etc.) but a lot of the time people don’t seem to want to accept how a band describes themselves, and wishes to hear it from others.

Apologies for the wrong så, by the way. I have fixed that!

I intend to listen to Ache, Secret Oyster and Burning Ivanhoe, as these are the bands I’ve most had recommended to me, not just on here, but on Facebook when I made a similar post.

Greg, I loved what I heard from that Tales of Murder and Dust album (I sampled it, rather than listened to it, because I prefer to listen to an album in full once I’ve paid for it.) I’ve bookmarked the Bandcamp site, so I can go back to it later.

[EDIT] I forgot to mention, but Pyramaze really wasn’t my cup of tea at all. I listened to 2/3 of the 2020 album, and 1/3 of the 2017 album, before giving up. There may be some prog in their prog-power mix, but it’s hidden underneath swathes of overwhelming power metal. Not for me, sorry.

no problem Smile
I find them better than the most famous power-prog band from Denmark, Royal Hunt which is beloved and respected and i don't get it why. To each its own i guess.

'Danish Progressive Rock News' is a Facebook group that compiles and presents what is new on the Danish Prog scene.

It's members include many of the band members and you can easily engage with them.

Christi, I don’t understand why you have such a problem with Paul’s emoji-usage. From where I’m standing, both he and Nick said pretty much the same thing about the album you recommended, and yet you jump down Paul’s throat for his use of a thumbsdown?!! It is what it is - a thumbsdown because it wasn’t to his taste…..sometimes I think you need to give the guy a break…..

No he didn’t. He made quite a decent pun/joke in response to Nick’s response to your suggestion….that’s what he does!

Before using the thumbs down emoticon, Paul said (and i quote): "The only button I want to push on that Pyramaze video is the Stop button."

I found that rude TBH, it bothered me.

Which was in response to Nick’s comment about pushing buttons! I don’t see how you could possibly find this rude or take offence!

But carry on……

Nick expressed dislike much later, in a polite manner. 

I don't have a problem with Paul disliking that, it was predictable he would, but the way he said it was  mockingly. Water under the bridge now.

I would say jokingly, not mockingly.

And when Nick commented on the music is irrelevant to this discussion…..

well, if it was a joke, it did not land well with me. Humor is subjective.
