Read the reviews! Why should we bother to explain it all again?

It sounds like you're looking for Opeth, maybe?  Pain of Salvation, Dream Theater, and Symphony X are three other bands that are good, but are alot alike whereas Opeth is very original.  Listen to Closure on the archives.

Closure is a bad choice as a track to get to know Opeth.

Somehow I have the feeling the guy is not looking for prog metal.

Yeah, I am looking more for the older bands-pre 75 kind of stuff.

I like to absorb a full album at once, rather than bits and pieces, what are their best albums?

My recomendation to you would be "A Tab In The Ocean" by NEKTAR. Being a huge Sabbath fan myself, I found this to be just as heavy and uptempo. It's a bit more spacey in parts but it really packs a punch. It was recorded around 1973 so it still has the thick production that Sabbath had around that time.

They made so many good ones. Start with "Mekhanik Destruktiw Kommandöh". Their live-albums are excellent too.

Pain of Salvation and Symphony X similar? 

I guess that is a huge matter of taste, but I for one hardly find any similarities at all.

I know your not really looking for new stuff but try the mars volta.

and of course VDGG and Hammill.
