Oh I don't know [incert activity] but I did listen to a prog album last night.

MESHUGGAH!!!

i dont know man i was born a metalhead and if you're into metal with some prog flavor i'd go with Meshuggah (as long as you can stand innumerous time shifts) and definitely one of my favorite bands of all time Opeth (start with Ghost Reveries or Blackwater Park). If none of those satisfy you then go out and grab a Devin Townsend album (I recommend Terria or Synchestra). and there you go.

Oops and almost forgot Sepultura. Theyre not prog but god are they heavy! Get Roots and you'll know what I'm talking about.

try some Candiria and Meshuggah, I have a feeling you might like those if you like hard metal with some groovy proggish chops,

I was introduced to Riverside yesterday and have already ordered a disc.
Sounds like they'd be up your alley.

Rael, maybe you should look into contemporary prog metal. There are many stuff in www.insideoutmusic.com there you can download prog metal from bands like "Enchant", "Vanden Plas", "Symphony X" and other stuff that may be of your interest.

As a suggestion, don't get into despearation, listen to every style and every band, there are bands that maybe are not perfectly good but there are some other things that may sound good.

Smile Smile Have a good listen!!!!

Okay, so I need some help. I have been looking for some new stuff, and the archives helpred, but I still have trouble narrowing it down, so I thought maybe some of you guys and gals could help me out.

My favorite band of all time is Tool. I like a lot of metal like Medvayne, Machine Head and the like, and older stuff like Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, King Crimson (earlier stuff) etc. What I am looking for is some newer prog rcok/metal. I really have gotten into Coheed and Cambria and Mars Volta, although I can't really get into Frances the Mute. I have looked into a lot of the prog metal on here, but it is usually too dramatic for my tastes. I am not a big fan of Dream Theater. I might get into them at some point in the future, but right now that isn't what I am looking for. Another band that seems to be cool from the few songs I have heard is Dredg. I guess I am looking for something new wthout being overly dramatic, and I don't like vocalist who do that high pitch squeelt that became popular with 80's hair metal. I also am looking for newer stuff, because I always have the classic band like Yes and Crimson to fall back on.

Okay, soooo, do you have anything in particualr I should check out? It can't be too obscure, cause I like to download some songs before I buy a CD.

Any help would be appreciated.
