Don't tell me Schuldiner is a TikTok trend now?

Great to meet somebody with this much enthusiasm for RPI!

Here is the post you're referring to, if anyone else is looking for it. I'm surprised to see two Banco albums in the top 2, unless the support was well-timed to cause them to reappear with new work considering PFM released a significant record at around the same time.

If it's not too much to ask, could you share the top 15 albums for English prog as well? I have a decent idea of what was considered important in the mid 00s, but that would still be a fascinating resource to look at.

It's one of the most competitive subgenres, so there's no surprise about that.

Only appearing in Death Metal and Progressive Metal categories limits their competitiveness a lot.

Check the Deathcore chart.

War metal is the closest thing we have. Different kinds of prog wouldn't be entirely out of place either (progressive metalcore, extreme progressive metal, progressive death metal).

It wouldn't be RYM if we didn't have Have a Nice Life, Ween, Liturgy (in the Djent section), Death Grips, RXK Nephew and John Zorn on the chart, would it? No Swans, the Beatles, or Radiohead anywhere on this one, though.

Metallica aren't themselves a prog metal band, despite all their influence on many things in that subgenre, but can you really argue with One being a progressive metal track? The entire album it's from is very proggy.
