Wandering around I came across French band called 'Anthemon' and listened to their album 'Dystopia'. It's described as 'Symphonic Doom' (what's in a name) but in my opinion it's one of the better Prog Metal albums.

Anthemon is not listed in Prog Archives thugh I would certainly recommend to do so. Maybe other visitors have heard of them and can make some judging.

By the way, French Prog Music is not very well known. I also found Parallaxe (listed in Prog Archives) but their debut album was only reviewed once. Soon I will make a second one. Parallaxe plays a remarkable mixture of Metal and Jazz.

Yeah, I have their newest album Kadavreski, definitely one of my favorite albums :]

I'm looking forward to 'Kadrevski'. Currently I try to get hold on 'Arcanes'. Wondering if it can meet Dystopia.

Hamham, would you qualify Anthemon as Prog ?

I'm not so good at doing genres, but I do see the progish influences in their music. Anthemon is prog metal in my book :p
