So, i've been digging out some obscure heavy prog rock lately, i wanted to know if you can recommend me some albums which is related to this genre

These are the stuff that i found while i was doing my search:

Blackwater Park - Dirt Box (full album, sorted on a playlist)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT7T-f4IeTI&list=PL94gOvpr5yt2ajUX4qz4YwnGZPzWegs47

Karthago - Karthago
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edAJunA2Neg

I wonder if anyone could recommend me more than this, i know there are some good Heavy Prog which is more popular than what i am showing you (Bands like Kansas, Rush etc).

Triumph was a great band, but they were straight-up hard rock. They dabbled in some "concept" stuff here and there.

Just listened to the Blackwater Park track which sounds quite like Atomic Rooster. Have you heard Rooster's In Hearing Of and Death Walks Behind You? I'd definitely recommend those. In fact the singer sounds a bit like Chris Farlowe who was in Rooster's later less-loved "Heavy Funk" incarnation, so you might want to check out the Made in England and Nice n Greasy albums too.

ah, this might turn out to be my favourite thread

RUPHUS - New Born Day (1973) - excellent Norwegian HP, female vocals, though sounds quite like a UK band
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjTjF4LTviE

FUSION ORCHESTRA - Skeleton in Armour (1973) - female vocals again (J. Joplin influence here), quite free structures, they have just reformed as FO2, lovely stuff

Stray Dog were on ELP's Manticore label and toured with ELP . Not sure they were prog but they were heavy.
Someone called Rob Brook writes a brilliant review on Amazon for their eponomously titled album which I have copied:

Every other artist seems to have their own label these days but back in the in '70s record companies were big boys' toys. Led Zeppelin had one so when Emerson Lake & Palmer woke up to find they were being hosed down with cash from live performance and bumper record sales, they did the decent thing and formed Manticore. Stray Dog didn't just limp in one day sad and homeless. Roadies spotted the blues rock power trio strut their stuff in a bar and the next thing the Dawg were riding on the high hog of excess: stretched limos, great studios, hanging out with Greg Lake, and a tab that never ran out. It shows on 1973's brio-fuelled debut: all cock and swagger, a Texan Budgie with flashes of prog, it's a fine and raucous set with showy guitar from vocalist Snuffy Walden. One promo pic features the guys at a boardroom table in tuxes, cigar and brandy to hand. Oh yeah! but when it failed to move molehills never mind mountains, panic set in at the label and bean-counters fast cut budget for 1974's 'While You're Down There'. Featuring a by now expanded five-piece with a second guitarist and a keyboard player, the band's sound may have been broader but the material of choice was sadly inferior and the result more of a smooch than the tongue job the boys unleashed the previous year. The dog put down, Walden wound up depping for Free's Paul Kossof and, a far cry from Stray Dog, eventually hit his stride writing TV show music. Both albums have juicy bonus bites but give them a bone for their breathless debut.

Check out Night Sun, they were like Germany's answer to Captain Beyond.

About Blackwater Park, a friend of mine recommended me that album a while ago, but i surely haven't listened it due to the fact i was busy sorting out my music i had, thanks for the Atomic Rooster recommendation though, i saw their albums on a Essential Prog Rock Album list but i haven't tried it yet, i might try it sooner Approve LOL

I'm not too familiar with the really obscure stuff so I'll be following this thread. I do recommend Uriah Heep though if you haven't checked them out yet.
