I see Pagan's Mind had been mentioned, that one's compulsory.

@ Snow Dog  What do you mean you got to be kidding me?
 
Since you've been on Progarchives for 5 years you must know  good quality music.
Well
Listening to Heavy Metal bands,i love Uriah Heep(not the 1st),their one of the bands that influenced my love for Prog-Art Rock.
And
They beautifully combine Prog and Heavy Metal,even though their under the Heavy Prog section.
They on their earlier stuff,they did a excellent job of combining Prog and Metal.
 
Now
If your open mind enough to appreciate Heavy Metal outside the box,you could see my point.
I think what he's getting at is that they arent metal.

Yes that and the fact he thinks I haven't heard Uriah Heep...I mean..what? Plus the fact that they suck anyway.Tongue

my ultimate favourite band is Primitai, you should give them a listen as they've recently beaten Iron Maiden to the number one album spot. definitely worth listening to!
their songs are awesome, i listen to them 24/7..
hope you like!

While some are not Prog Metal through and through:
  • Mind's Eyes
  • Kamelot
  • Opeth
  • End
  • Tool
  • Riverside (kind of Neo Proggy at times)
  • Gallahad (Ditto)
  • maudlin of the Well (there's some metal in there, kind of experimental though)

I dunno if you've heard "Traced in Air" by Cynic, but it's one of my all-time favorite albums and, I believe, the best metal album of the '00s. Nothing else sounds quite like it. 
Heaven's made a cesspool of us all.

If you want to stretch your horizons, you can try TO-MERA.
I am now listening to Delusions (2008) and blown away - a mix of DT/Symph X, jazz, Opeth, gothic with female vocals - great album
