I guess the singer was Mark Boals, one of the best voices in metal. 

Anyway, Ark - Burn the Sun is a masterpiece. I think on this song (Heal the Waters), the drummer John Macaluso shines the brightest. Also the singer is Jorn Lande. So we're confronted with a galactic star team here.

Edit: The guitarist is Tore Ostby. Another legendary talent.

Tore Ostby is the guitarist of Conception, I'm sure you knew that. Smile

Early 90's prog/tech extreme is my favorite sub genre, I wish it had a larger community on here!

one of my favorites as well, I wanted to post Heal the Waters and Waking Hour last night, but I thought I shouldn't abuse (for lack of a better word) the thread with videos. Smile

^Thanks for the kind words about Ark. 

Here is an older song (2011) but another band that deserves more appreciation.

Not discussed much here, occasionally, but that's cause most of the progressive metal-heads Big smile have moved over to the PA sister site Metal Music Archives MMA (http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/)........and as well there is a sister Jazz site Jazz Music Archives JMA (http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/)

I visit both, some great stuff there.

Logan's words in a recent thread:
"It has been the expectation and request that people avoid posting full album videos (embeds) and significant material from albums (so not many tracks from an album) at the forums generally (not just this topic) without permission/allowance from the artists or labels. I would think that a hyperlink may be preferable (say to bandcamp, spotify or youtube) if wishing to exhibit more than a portion. This is partially out of respect for the artists, not just any risk of complaints, not all of which have approved of people sharing music this way. When it's come to formal evaluation for placement, full album embeds have been more common."

^ The original post has just a song, but it doesn't say "this is the format".

Also, one can easily stop listening after a song or two. I think it is not a big deal to post full albums. If someone wants others to listen to a specific song, s/he can just post it. Otherwise sharing full-length albums should not be a problem.

the original post has just a song, an epic, not a full album. 
If the admins have the rule of not posting full albums, I for one obey it.

nice choice, a good band. 
Please do not post full length albums. 
Songs are good enough, the point is I guess is to make an idea what the band sounds like and take it from there.

My top suggestions are from the more extreme side of prog metal (which I think gets overlooked):
Between the Buried and Me and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Both are very powerful and original, and probably not so obvious (like Opeth and Gojira, I guess).

There are just three Progressive Metal bands I'm familiar with and really like:- Ayreon; Dream Theater; & Porcupine Tree.
 
I'm more of a Symphonic Metal fan, with three particular favourites on my epic wish list of temptations tonight:- Epica; Nightwish; & Within Temptation.
