Damn it!!!!!! I forgot one of my all-time favourite prog metal Album:

Insigths by Lemur Voice

It would have gotten my vote...

I'm going to make THE ultimate poll some day in the far future....

Fates Warning: A Pleasant Shade Of Grey.

Before any of the ones I know on that poll...ho humm.


I don't think Remedy Lane is a heavy Progressive Metal album at all.

maybe not...but he has got 'Concrete Lake' in his list, which is no heavier...

Ice Age are OK; IMO, their second album, 'Liberation' is worth exploring, especially for the opening track 'The Lhasa Road'

Riverside's Out of Myself is an absolutely fantastic album.I really like Andromeda,especially Extension of the Wish.I just recently purchased II=I,good album,but a little more melodic than Extension.I have just recently discovered Sieges Even and think they are awesome,I only have A Sense of Change and Sophisticated,though.

And if I am thinking of the same band,they are called Green Carnation,not Incarnation.

He he, actually, I'm currently listening In the Woods, I think they aren't prog, they started as a mmmh... melodic blackmetalish band, then they get less metal, it hears like a sad and slow rock band, IMO.

Green INcarnation? Perhaps you mean Green Carnation? If so, it was founded by Tchort, from Emperor. Long flowing tracks with many parts, many of which are acoustic. Has romantic and pastoral elements to it. Of more well-known bands, I would say that Opeth is the most comparable (though Opeth get a bit more intense).

Sieges Even are a highly technical thrash band. Not quite Watchtower, but not far. Lifecycle is the most technical I've heard from them, but the vocals are dreadful. A Sense of Change is more like late 70s Rush, less technically dazzling than before but better musically.

In the Woods have a similar appeal as Green Carnation, perhaps a bit more gothic and doomy, maybe leaning a little towards early Third and the Mortal.

Fantomas are a different beast all together. If you've heard John Zorn's Naked City, you'll have decent idea what to expect. While Fantomas does do several things, their claim to fame is very short, hyper-blasting songs that cover many different genres in a mad dash, jump-cut sort of way. It's a supergroup, with Mike Patton (Mr. Bungle) leading things on vocals, Trevor Dunn (Bungle) on bass, King Buzzo (Melvins) on gtr and Dave Lombardo (Slayer) on drums.

If you read my first post, then you'll see that progzilla wouldn't let me count 'APSOG' cos he says its not heavy enough....

...if that's the case, where's Blind Guardian's 'A Night At The Opera'?

I already promised I would make the PERFECT poll some day... so while you wait for that one, you'll just have to live with this one, even if I know it sucks, 'cause I can't change it anymore! But it's interesting to hear you're suggestions!

I'm a huge PoS fan but sadly haven't heard Concrete Lake, so my vote thus goes to that weirdo Devin Townsend.

Concrete lake is the heavist of PoS albums, I think you'll love it. I haven't heard Terria, but I get the feeling a should, and fast!
