Thanks, the cover and the (even few) ratings of Half Way Down look promising to me, so I'll definitely give it a listen.


A very under-recognized band. I was surprised to see they were on PA. Another band/album from that time period, with a similar but more experimental vibe, is Thought Industry Songs for Insects (1992).

For prog-thrash in the vein of classic Voivod, I would recommend:

Coroner - No More Color, Mental Vortex
Tourniquet - Psycho Surgery
Target - Master Project Genesis

Also, if you're ok with vocals that are a bit harsher, I'd recommend "Tribe" by Sadist. Absolutely fantastic prog-death album... imagine Cynic's first album, but with even wackier keyboards Smile
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

 Most of all the straight Progressive Metal with more or less clean vocals I've heard has seemed to me having rather synthetic 
sound and/or being Pop-influenced while I like it best organic and only little poppish at most. So far, I've only found these albums 
of about that kind and which I could like:


Fates Warning  (USA)  -  The Spectre Within   (1985)

Voivod  (CAN)  -  Nothingface  (1989)  

Psychotic Waltz  (USA)  -  Into the Everflow  (1992)

Tool  (USA)  -  Lateralus  (2001)

Taal  (F)  -  Skymind  (2003)

Indukti  (PL)  -  S.U.S.A.R.   (2004)

Riverside  (PL)  -  Second Life Syndrome  (2005)


Can you recommend any other albums of that kind? - And please only that kind (organic, non-poppish and straight Progressive 

Metal with more or less clean vocals), it's important. 

I'm also curious about how many of such albums have been made.


Thanks!  Smile


Edit: and now plus     Thought Industry  (USA)  -  Songs for Insects  (1992)
