ok, here is another clue: the band name is Latin (which makes it very easy now)

There's a polish band that fits this description though it's not prog. It's called Sweet Noise. Tongue

What does Pythagoras have to do with decibels? Or paradoxes?

There's something called "Pythagoras' comma" (or something like that). I don't know what does it mean, it is said that it is a paradox related to sounds. I found it searching in Google for "paradox sound level" (not in English, however...)
 
I never pretended that this can be a correct answer though...

The Pythagorean Comma isn't a paradox, it's a problem that occurs when dealing with just-intoned tuning systems.  A Pythagorean Comma is the difference between 12 fifths (a fifth is a ratio 3:2) and 7 octaves (an octave is a ratio of 2:1).  Equal temperament fixes the problem of commas by fudging the intervals a little bit (a fifth is now a 2^(7/12):1).  It eliminates the comma problems, but reduces the "purity" of the tone. 

As to the riddle at hand, I have no idea.
