Prog Metal: Organizing the categories

^ About the Lengsel website: Currently they have no audio files there, so I didn't link their website. But I'll link to all homepages tomorrow and use a symbol to show whether there are samples or not.

Yeah their site says "sound" "to be added" but that site hasnt been updated for a long time.

 and it probably wont be , because the members of LENGSEL are in EXTOL now.

Let me just point out that I by no means meant prog-metal is the only genré that needs to be reworked; on the contrary, I think other genrés like symphonic and art-rock need an overhauling too; but these are genrés I feel not competent for.

Mike, we never doubted your good intentions, and if we (unintentionally) came across too harsh in our criticism , we apologize to anyone who felt hurt by it.

And now let's shake hands.

Peace at last ...

Yes I did, Logos ... I shouldn't try to use multitasking.

Who cares?!!! Prog metal is the only genre that matters anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 only kidding.

The Black Mages are a progressive influenced metal band from Japan. The band includes Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for the Final Fantasy series. The is generally derived from Uematsu's work with the Final Fantasy series (one exception thus far), but there are usually modifications and additions to the songs to make them more interesting.

The band has two guitarists, and organist, a keyboardist, a bassist, and a drummer. They have no vocalists, though they have a couple of guest vocalists on their most recent album.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Mages cites them as having an overall progressive metal style.

Four total music samples can be found here:

Pan-Thy-Monium for avant, btw. I can't hear that sample without running Windows Media Player setup , but I've heard others by them
