It seems as long as anything is slightly technical, it can now be included in the archives.
Shallow band, mediocre, generic guitar work, pretty much the same drumming in every song, lyrically uninspired.

says the guy with the OPETH avatar, talk about uninspired and over-rated/overhyped CRAP......

I for one disagree on your assessment of which album is better, I feel the tracks on Kezia have more variety and compostional adventure, whereas Fortress is (more)straightforward shred stuff.  The band rules though, no doubt.

Well PTH have allot of more artistic leanings for a so called Metalcore band, I guess they might as well be here since the title of Prog is tossed around much more these days.

And not that they're similar in any way, but adding PTH could leave us open for other technical metal bands such as A7X and Trivium (Who I do not deem as progressive bands though they have more artistic leanings to their music.)

File under: bands that I have no reason not to like... but for some intangible reason I just don't.  It's weird.

Lyrically they are completely inspired. They've put out two concept albums about women being repressed (in that sense they are almost like the first feminist metal band :-p) Its not the same old sh*t about anger!!! and sex!!
 
They are the heaviest band i've ever heard that still has technicallity.

Just because you don't like it that dosen't mean it isn't prog. Besides their are many bands here in PA that have all of these things you've mentioned and that dosen't mean they aren't prog.

PTH have been cleared for inclusion by the Prog Metal Team.Gives us time please,we have a lot of bands on our "Cleared" list.
 
And this is in the wrong forum section,the Prog Music Lounges are meant for bands in the archives ONLY.
