Keen to hear about some progmetal albums to check out if anyone feels like sharing. My 3 would be pretty safe bets.

I think mine are pretty safe, too:

  • Periphery — Juggernaut
  • Haken — Visions
  • Between the Buried and Me — Colors

I'll go with:

  • Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane
  • Pagan's Mind - Enigmatic: Calling
  • Symphony X - The Odyssey

Got the opportunity to finally see Symphony X live last year. They've been one of my favorite bands for a couple decades now, but holy hell are they insanely good live.

Yes they're a great live band! Love it when they play The Odyssey live

They played the Odyssey as the encore last year, it was amazing. They sounds just as good in person as they do on album

Hard to choose 3 as im fairly new to progmetal and been listening mostly to btbam, trying to listen to more recently though.

  • between the buried and me - the great misdirect
  • the human abstract - digital veil
  • world is quiet here - zon, is one i recently listened to and really enjoy so ill stick it here.

maybe not exactly my top 3 but the first ones that came to mind

If you're a fan of BTBAM and TWIQH I definitely recommend checking out Others by No One if you haven't yet. Book 2 is an incredible album!

Yeah im aware of them, i havent checked them out yet

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Awesome I have a few albums to check out. Mine would be:

  • Opeth - Blackwater Park
  • Mastodon - Blood Mountain
  • Gojira - Live at vieilles charrues 2010

.

If 2. not considered Prog swap with CTS 3. Non official release, swap with the live Les Enfants Sauvages

hard question but my bet is:

  1. opeth - ghost reveries
  2. between the buried and me - coma ecliptic
  3. wilderun - sleep at the edge of the earth

  • Caligula's Horse - In Contact
  • Haken - Affinity

Some love for watershed - I haven’t seen it near the top of too many lists, but I enjoy it it has a good mix of styles.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My favorites change all the time, but right now: Catch 33, The Joy of Motion and Holocene.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Devin Townsend Project - Deconstruction

Caligula's Horse - In Contact

Karnivool - Sound Awake

I'll have to mention Igorrr because nobody did, which is strange.
Igorrr - Savage Sinusoid
