Orne

I'm surprised that the Finnish band Orne isn't in Prog Archives..   it contains all 3 members from the perhaps better known doom metal band Reverend Bizarre although their music really has nothing to do with doom metal.. its really straight progressive rock

in the words of the guitarist,

The band plays dark progressive rock in the vein of Van der Graaf Generator, Black Widow, King Crimson, Gabriel-era Genesis, Pink Floyd...

  Their debut album, The Conjuration by the Fire is a great album too, something a fan of any of those bands should probably at least check out...

listened to this earlier.. not exactly the most exciting thing I've heard... but I did like that 2nd of those two tracks..  kicking this to the mighty eclectic team..

we wouldn't want that happening

no reply so I guess metalisgoofy has a case of the shyness..   I'll work on this one then..

if you do want to work on .. just PM me. 

I'll help with whatever you want, but it looks like you did most of the stuff already..

if theres anything you want I'd be happy to help (PM me or something)

not one to piss on a band.. .. but they didn't exactly set the eclectic teams house on fire .. at least the samples we heard.  That said...  there is much more to prog than challenging rhythms... that is a byproduct of what prog was about.. but not a necessity to be prog or even a good prog band. I've heard complex stuff that puts me asleep faster than a frickin Genesis album.   Was Orne original.. or groundbreaking?..  hahahha. oh HELL no.  But was it prog..  yeah it was...  I'd call it generic eclectic prog.

Bizarre's "Slave of Satan" single is still the finest metal track of the decade. =)

definitely! I can talk about Reverend Bizarre all day, their farewell opus "So Long Suckers' was at least one of my top 5 albums of last year, Orne on the other hand....eh,
