I just recently saw BTBAM and Opeth on ProgNation08, and I find it so suprising how a band like BTBAM can be so tech and sound so great live (although Tommy's growls I find to be a bit better on the album). Paul's "Selkies" solo was dead on, not one mistake. As a matter of fact I didn't find a single flaw in any of the music. Opeth was amazing as well.
 
Anyone else see BTBAM recently? Has anyone seen the perform "Colors" in its entirety?

I was reading Mike's quote of one of your posts on the top of this page and if you like Spastic Ink and Spiral Architect you really need to check out Twisted Into Form.

Speaking of Tech/Extreme prog bands, I just got  Fortress today, and I wasn't sure what I would get into, having never heard Protest The Hero before, and I must say within one track I was already hookedSmile
Excellent album IMO.

Woa, odd that this thread just died for a while. Surely there is heaps more to say about Tech/Extreme Prog metal!

Wow, how strange that it just happened to feature one of my favourite virtuoso guitarists, Mattias IA EklundhBig%20smile, (in fact, that has jogged my memory and he deserves a mention in the Best Player: Speed/Technique thread in General Music Discussions) as well as Jonas Hellborg, an absolutely genius bass playerBig%20smile, plus Jens Johansson and Anders Johansson (both of former Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force band fame If my memory serves me correctly), although have not heard of the other 2 guys. Shame they only listed one trackThumbs%20Down, but indeed an interesting one it was.

Given I like Necrophagist, love Opeth and Agalloch, the extreme vocal style can be very well suited to certain music, and generally doesn't bother me.

In a Flesh Aquarium is one of the best metal albums I've ever heard

seriously.
the biggest stumbling block might be the vocals, but then again, this is the EXTREME thread so I guess that's a given

I highly recommend Unexpect, if you can take that zany energetic insanity.
