come here for music recommendations.

Hey, I've been looking for some good Prog metal lately. I already know all the obvious ones though (Dream theater, Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, Pain of Salvation, Symphony X, Cynic). Thanks!

If you don't mind Prog. Death, try Gojira.

[Soror_YZBL]

Hm, I wasn't aware of that. (I've mainly only heard stuff from 7 and Soli Deo Gloria)

Those are great records, and Welcome to Earth is AMAZING. The next record was actually more synthpop, but I love it anyhow. the last record though, 3 years ago, was just awful.

you rang, instantdeath?

I wish Afterstasis's "music recommendations" thread hadn't died. I could really use it right now

I'm basically looking for something obscure, unorthodox, and indie. Something that I probably normally wouldn't listen to.

that's a pretty wide range there, instantdeath... here's what immediately comes to mind, but please feel free to be more specific and i'll throw out some more names...

carissa's wierd (the misspelling is correct), three mile pilot, thingy, low, dianogah, and xiu xiu all tend to get lumped in with indie, yet don't quite fit the mold exactly.
obscurity is probably based on what circles you fly.

Best modern progressive rock/metal/etc bands, imho:

Battles
Dol Ammad
Kaddisfly
Karnataka
Magenta
Nevermore
Orphaned Land

To name a few. Bolded are good for oldprog transition.

I think Spock's Beard is a good entry band into modern day progressive rock, followed by The Flower Kings and Anekdoten.

I'll have to check out Gowienczyk's recommendations.

Ok I have another I am going to give Coheed And Cambria and Dream Theater a try what would be any good recommendations for both bands

[Fizzeler]

As for your recommendations I liked Kaddisfly and Karnataka they sounded great although Battles did not sound well to me those two bands sounded great
