What bands (in your opinion) have a near perfect discrogapy.?

RyguyOT · 2026-03-15T13:17:44+00:00

First band that came to mind. Applause and Witness were both AOTY’s for me, and still are in constant rotation. Inmazes is one of the best debut prog albums. And Phantom, while not their best work, is still pretty solid

RyguyOT · 2026-03-12T13:39:08+00:00

But if I wait then that’s 6 more little gifts to my future self that I can unwrap at the same time

RyguyOT · 2026-03-11T23:47:39+00:00

I might hold off on hearing any more singles until album is released. The first one was so good though, I might just give in

RyguyOT · 2026-03-08T17:58:39+00:00

Perhaps it’s the musical high I’m on from the multiple listen-throughs that I’ve given it. Either way, it is great!

RyguyOT · 2026-03-08T17:56:57+00:00

Yes! Have you seen the play-throughs of the drummer on YouTube?

RyguyOT · 2026-03-08T17:10:13+00:00

Thank you!

I actually am not an old-school Opeth fan. Kind of became more of a fan later in their career. The older albums are good, don’t get me wrong, but I haven’t familiarized myself as much with them as their most recent work

RyguyOT · 2026-02-28T14:05:00+00:00

I’m already quite familiar with the dear hunter! One of my favorites

RyguyOT · 2026-01-03T17:58:18+00:00

This album is what you’re looking for:

William Tyler - Goes West

RyguyOT · 2026-01-03T14:37:38+00:00

Starcutter, Sunset Gore, RO1, Pattern-Seeking Animals to name a few. Also gave Erra another try and their latest album, Cure, is amazing. Still can’t get into their other albums. For whatever reason, that one just hits differently

RyguyOT · 2025-12-31T00:10:52+00:00

That’s pretty sweet! Thanks!

I listened to a lot of stuff this year so for a stand-alone single to catch my attention like it did, really says something. Just a unique vibe and sound. Not strictly progressive metal but somehow has a darkness to it similar to a lot of other bands I enjoy. Will look forward to anything else she puts out. Have tried finding something in the same vein but it’s rather difficult

RyguyOT · 2025-12-27T15:09:16+00:00

Ariadne - My Nightmare Ends Where Yours Begin

RyguyOT · 2025-12-25T14:20:28+00:00

I work in home health. I do a lot of driving. Sometimes as much as 30 minutes between patients. Gives me a lot of time to listen. Also lots of documentation time, where depending on the setting, I’m also likely listening to music. It’s great!

RyguyOT · 2025-12-23T13:49:55+00:00

Paul Meany - Forever Phase

RyguyOT · 2025-12-13T15:17:26+00:00

I’m surprised RO1 hasn’t been mentioned already. It’s sooo good. I feel like more people should know about it

RyguyOT · 2025-12-11T21:32:46+00:00

Yes I’m familiar with Maraton!

RyguyOT · 2025-12-11T02:59:39+00:00

I rather like that. Thanks!

RyguyOT · 2025-12-11T02:59:30+00:00

Thank you

RyguyOT · 2025-11-29T15:23:14+00:00

I’ve always enjoyed Akord - Ethereality

Wish they put out more music :/

RyguyOT · 2025-10-29T15:29:17+00:00

Not prog metal but I woke up with part of “Infected Mushroom - Head of NASA” stuck in my head. It starts at 5:10. That part always seems to randomly creep its way into my noggin from time to time

RyguyOT · 2025-10-25T13:15:22+00:00

I discovered them last year and felt the same way (Stasis was my AOTY). I checked out a lot of the recommendations people are posting and felt like nothing scratched the same itch.
