    Posted: December 03 2005 at 04:19

This thread is for suggesting new Prog Metal bands that might be suitable for inclusion in the archives.

Have a look at this page: http://www.mikeenregalia.com/ProgMetal.html

The page has three sections: Current bands, Bands considered for addition and "Possible new additions".

Please post any band here which is not yet mentioned anywhere on the page:

  • Name of the band
  • Best suitable genre
  • Link to the homepage and the record label (audio samples are more often available on the homepage of the label than on the homepage of the artist).
  • Links to other useful resources

I will add the band to the list, and eventually we might pick the band for the voting process (http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15322).

Dragonforce, Muse, IQ, Ring of FIre, Star One, Spooks Beard, Turisas, Rhapsody, Bonzo Dog Band.

There hows that Mike?

And when did Nightwish become prog-power metal?

Are you sure what this is about?

  1. Half of those bands are already in the archives
  2. Half of them aren't prog metal

Please read the first post again.

ok, few changes required;

1st of all: DELETE KATATONIA, great band, the sample of the new album is loveley (my twin)! but still hasn't got anything to do with prog, IF you want that sort of band.. Klimt1918 would be more suitable for adition.. they try some more things out..

2nd, here's a little list to add:

Manes
Ved buens ende
dodheimsgard
Toby driver (kayo dot soloproject)
Virus
Disillusion
Enslaved
Novembre

lots more..

Manes --> Ulveresque electronic
Ved buens ende --> avantgarde (black) metal
dodheimsgard --> avantgarde insdustrial black metal
Toby driver (kayo dot soloproject) --> avantgarde/drone/experimental
Virus --> VERY avantgarde (black) metal
Disillusion --> progressive DEATH metal
Enslaved --> Progressive (viking) metal
Novembre --> Progressive metal (opeth-esque.. toured with opeth and katatonia, great band!)

We can't delete bands,and somebody correct me if I am wrong but I think only certain admins can do that.

And Katatonia were an approved band.

Isis are clearly a metal band. Be careful though not to confuse them with the 70s prog rock band Isis.

I will not add JESU as long as I don't have any more info. PLEASE GIVE ME A LINK TO A WEBSITE.

And Mike,Wigu Jimbo asked my for my thoughts on Chroma Key awhile ago and after that he moved them to the space rock/psychadelic category,so they aren't listed under progressive metal anymore.

, ok to be quite honest, im really not sure if they are at all progressive, but ive noticed that Angra is categorized as Progmetal, and my ear tells me,if it still serves me right, that some of their songs (SA's) has some similarities with Angra's....

Anyways, those are just suggestions

pardon me for my classifications...

PS: i really admire this site and almost all the collaborators and admins here... they are doing a fine job of maintaining this gem...that goes to you sir mike and sir progtologist..

Thank you for your kind words,I was not criticizing you for suggesting Sonata Arctica.I was disagreeing with the post saying they were speed metal.MM,we have a lot of bands here that are considered power metal bands,and I think some are a little more progressive than others.And there are some bands here that I consider pure power metal and was always a little puzzled as to why they were included here in the archives in the first place.

Stratovarius are a good example of a band which I would not consider to be progressive. But they are widely known to be progressive, they are known as a "progressive metal" band. When we consider bands for the inclusion in the archives, we have to weigh all sorts of factors:

  • The music itself - and that includes the ENTIRE discography. It's common for people who are against the band to base their opinion on the least progressive tracks in their discography, and those who are convinced that they're prog will mention the most progressive tracks.
  • Personal preference
  • History
  • How is the band considered on other major prog websites or in prog magazines
  • How do the band members themselves describe their music?
  • ...
