r/progmetal

Years back I listened to this awesome band but I cannot, after searching for it for years, find the name of them. The album was a desert wasteland of sorts, typical orange, clay like, apocolyptic even, maybe there were some buildings in the background? Not Myrath. If i remember correctly, the the first track was rather long and opened with a fade in of instrumentals. I really don't have much to go on, other than it being in english though not necessarily an american/english band. It wasn't super heavy and the vocals were clean if I remember correctly. Anyone got an ideas?

Playgrounded released their second single for their upcoming album.

I had to do a ton of digging, but I ended up finding all their songs. It's organized by albums in a Google Drive folder. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1eiwQ-8pg410pK5h8LMkS0DiNjUhbp7Au?usp=drive_link

Bonus, not lost, but a rare find: live video of them from 2007! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRQxAFA2Mqc

These songs were lost when MySpace wiped out everything from the initial release to 2015, but I found the songs using archives and videos.

Started as a full-fledged metalcore band led by Mark Holcomb. When Holcomb joined Periphery with Misha "Bulb" Mansoor, Holcomb intended to end the project, but the project was revived as a progressive metal studio-only project between Holcomb and Mansoor.

I love Luminaira and was so sad that they broke up. Has anyone heard anything about new projects etc?

inb4 Trans Siberian Orchestra lol

Just looking for any prog metal (really any prog, doom, stoner metal!) that has a trans member or is trans fronted. Thanks y'all!

I know The Black Queen aren't prog metal, but I enjoy them a lot and I feel like many of you probably have the same music taste I do.

I love the dark, ambient, moody electronic sound with hauntingly beautiful vocals that Greg eminates.

pflrbft

Hey, basically the title!! On a general metal sub, I made a post describing what I’m looking for in metal and -besides receiving some pretty recommendations- I was guided here as I was unknowingly referring to this kind of music. But I seemed not to know most of the recommendations i got and i want to make sure i can really have a good journey diving into this genre. The metal music I listened to as a kid/teen was visibly different from progressive so i dont want my first prog songs to be the harder to get ones. Thank you!!

I'm looking for a band that had a lot of hype from a popular music from one of their songs on youtube. It was probably around 2009 or so. The song had a very minimalist guitar + drum set up with very aggressive aggressive vocals with guitar work almost entirely tapped. The end solo really stands out because it gets oddly funky and there's a neat time change. I don't know that anything really came of them past this.

This group revolutionized my vision of music at the time, with the album Alaska. Now it's one of my favorite band so I wanted to do a cover of one of their songs.

I stumbled across these guys a few days ago. Thought someone here might appreciate them too.

Listening to this for the first time - incredible music, and the artwork might be the best I've ever seen. I wish I could speak french!
