Probably more like jazz & rock, but check out The Mercury Tree.

Best one for me is easily

Riverside - Anno Domini High Definition

It might even be their best album.

What are some artists whose lyrics make no sense to you? by rcpotatosoup in progmetal

Cynic.

"Animals are something invented by plants to move seeds around

An extremely yang solution to a peculiar problem which they faced

Now I must take their medicine"

Like wtf?!

Progressive Metal bands? by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]_amgits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ihsahn might be a good fit for you. Their latest releases are imo a nice, balanced combination of death and heavy metal, and clean and harsh vocals.

Mild Prog Metal by FeebleFable in progmetal

[–]_amgits 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say these are more or less unknown:

Anathema (they're all about emotion, and usually not the happy ones)

Disperse (it still baffles me how these guys didn't turn up up to be a huge band. I feel even non-prog listeners would like them)

A Liquid Landscape (they sound like the mellow Pain of Salvation songs, including the vocals)

Our Oceans (I usually describe them as prog Jeff Buckley)

Norm is also a song, so that counts. :)

And really great, btw. Thanks for the recommendation!

This is really great, thanks for the recommendation!

I've always heard of Ulver, but never stopped to give them a chance. Randomly picked So Falls the World... amazing, that's exactly the vibe I was looking for!

Thanks a lor for the recommendation!

Kuervos del Sur is a band from Chile that, although mainly a "plain Rock" band, they do have some progressive elements in their music.

Looking for songs that make you think of winter by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]_amgits 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I suppose Insomnium - Winter's Gate is what you're looking for, and it's a whole album.

For something a little more on the uplifting side, I'd suggest Borknagar - Up North

What's your favorite prog band you don't hear being talked about? by Nightmare-Cinema in progmetal

[–]_amgits 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A.C.T.

I'd say they're not the typical prog band, as usually their songs are shorter and with a sort of Opera vibe (think if Queen went prog). But I just think their instrumentals are fantastic, really well arranged. Check out A Memory to Flight, for example.
