There are many prog metal bands better than HC, That's not my question. I asked for bands better than some prog metal bands (exp. Kamelot, Nightwish, Rhapsody, Therion, ...)


mate kamelot (us power metal), nightwish (symphonic pop/metal wannabes), rhapsody( the biggest joke ever) and therion( only theli is prog and maybe vovin, although i prefer vovin than theli) are not progressive metal.

Therion suck ... Kamelot rule. But I agree that all of those bands are not prog metal in the usual definition of the genre. In my book however, there exist such genres like Progressive Power Metal (Kamelot). But the "heart" of prog metal is what I like to call Symphonic Progressive Metal: Pain of Salvation, Heaven's Cry, Psychotic Waltz, Threshold, Ayreon etc. I indeed doubt that ANY hardcore band could possibly rival the musicanship and artistic level of those bands.

My question is not pointless. My question was put for those people, who listens music and then judge.

There is (at least) one HC band better than many prog metal bands. It is

"MADAME GERMEN"
