Shocked OKAY. Try "Nightfall In Middle Earth", based on "The Silmarillion" by Tolkien. They do alot of songs based on books from Tolkien to Frank Herbert so if this bothers you you might want to skip them. Musically they sound like a faster version of Iron Maiden crossed with Queen's vocal harmonies. Hope that helps.

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

They sound like typical power metal with extra cheese.
 
I don't hear anything prog in their music. Maybe their operatic qualities make them somewhat progressive, but not enough to be included on this site.

Only someone who can't gasp the complexity will call it nerd metal

Great symphonic power metal band(and the ONLY power metal band I like, the rest of it is far too cheesy and overblown for me). Their sound is quite progressive, I think that can be included here if crap cliched power metal bands like Rhapsody are here...

someone told me about these guys, he described them as "nerd metal", they sound pretty progressive.  Does anyone listen to them?  What is their sound like?
