Hello. I am new to this forum. I am not really a prog fan, I don't have anything against it, it's jus tnot my thing. However, I do like Symphony X, Tool, and Pink Floyd if that's any compensation.

Anyway I am here to see if there are any prog fans who also like heavy metal. So anyone who likes prog and also likes Heavy Metal (or any variations like Thrash Metal or Death Metal) reply now! Also, please list what heavy metal bands you like.

If you like Symphony X and Tool there are a lot of prog metal bands here you would like:

Dream Theater

Shadow Gallery

Pain of Salvation

Andromeda

Pagan's Mind

Power of Omens

Circus Maximus

Anathema

Dead Soul Tribe

Evergrey

Fates Warning

Pantommind

Riverside

Beyond Twilight

I like all prog(classic,symphonic,neo,canterbury,etc.)but I grew up listening to metal so I tend to favor prog metal.

Right now as far as heavy,heavy prog metal I am digging Opeth,Meshuggah,Control Denied,Death,Extol,Nile.Also Swarm of the Lotus,Shadows Fall,Lamb of God,Mastodon,Unearth,Mushroomhead,Slipknot,Mudvayne,(not all those bands are prog metal but so what),etc.

Grew up listening to Iron Maiden,Anthrax,Metallica,Slayer,Megadeth,Nuclear Assault,SOD,Testament,Exodus,Helloween,Manowar,Armored Saint,Saxon,Raven,Venom,Sepultura,Pantera,Soulfly,Diamond Head,Candlemass,Dio,Black Sabbath,Metal Church,Mercyful Fate,King Diamond...and on...and on....and on.

Something extreme from 80-90's for nostalgia? Too stressed for such music now though. The happiness of childhood has changed to the unhappiness of the adulthood...

If you haven't heard it yet check out Meshuggah's ep titled "I".It is one song...20+ minutes long.Brilliant stuff.And Shadows Fall's album The War Within I just got a few days ago and am really digging it.

I love a lot of metal - the two sub-genres I like most are prog metal (Opeth, DT, Symphony X, Meshuggah, Cynic and many others) and death metal (Cryptopsy, Nile, Suffocation, Death, Immolation, Pessimist, Gorguts, Decapitated, Disgorge, Origin, Decrepit Birth etc.). I've been focusing on the latter lately - absolutely incredible, mindblowing stuff, like riding a sunstorm. I've also gotten to love Iron Maiden recently (finally!!!) and enjoy some doom metal, My Dying Bride, Morgion and Burning Witch being my fav bands.

Well, I'm into anything from Frank Sinatra to Nile (death metal).

The main genres I try to avoid are mainstream pop, r'n'b, MTV rock etc.

As for metal:

Death Metal - Nile, Gorguts, In Flames, Morbid Angel, Cynic, Immolation etc.

Black Metal - Immortal, Susperia, Thyrfing etc.

Power Metal - Jag Panzer, Dragonforce, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth etc.

I also listen to folk metal, progressive metal, doom, speed/thrash and all.

I love Iron Maiden, Queensryche and Mercyful Fate/King Diamond ... also kinda into Blind Guardian, Metallica and Megadeth to a lesser extent ...

I am a much bigger fan of prog though ... own 300 plus CDs as opposed to 15-20 metal CDs ...

Strangely enough I don't like much of the hybrid prog-metal bands ... Ayreon has been the best so far ...
