| | Progressive metal - definition of Progressive metal in Encyclopedia |
 | | Progressive metal (prog metal) is a heavier brand of progressive rock (prog rock) which is distinguished by its typical drumming pattern and odd time signatures. | | | Also, progressive metal is sometimes referred to as "The Thinking Man's Metal", which characterizes not only the intelligence in the music style but also the arrogance that sometimes is stereotyped to its fans. | | | Prog metal could be broken down into an absurd infinite number of other sub-genres (see bottom of article), however it suffices to say that extraneous influences such as New Age (Tool), Jazz (Dream Theater), classical music (Symphony X) and death metal (Opeth) make this genre as diverse as can be. |

| | Progressive metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Progressive metal (shortened to prog metal when differentiating from progressive rock) is a genre of heavy metal music which shares traits with progressive rock including; use of complex compositional structures, odd time signatures, and intricate instrumental playing. | | | The high level of musical proficiency is often combined with a lyrical counterpart in the form of epic textual concepts, resulting in lengthy songs and concept albums. | | | It was not a typical progressive metal song, but nonetheless it opened Queensrÿche's music to a whole new legion of fans, which in turn had an effect on the popularity of other progressive metal bands of the time. |

| | Progressive metal reviews |
| | The 90s ended and progressive metal hit its head to the wall: it started to repeat itself stylistically, and bands after their debut albums realized how low was the sales ceiling of an underground progressive metal album. | | | Progressive metal had its peaks, starting with the Arch-era Fates Warning, the first Dream Theater album, the second Dream Theater album, and the whole wave of followers in mid 90s. | | | Neoclassical metallers Symphony X are often called progressive, and sometimes even symphonic power metal of Blind Guardian is considered to be progressive metal, which is a pure sacrilege to the original understanding of progressive metal term. |

| | Voivod - Progressive Speed Metal |
| | Often bouncy and bluesy, the music takes its raw material from the heavy metal of the middle 1970s and the sense of melody in songwriting and techniques for harmonizing dissonance that were central to prog rock bands from the same era. | | | Where this release is strong is in its clean suggestion of the quintessential Voivod style of progressive heavy metal, and in the use of contemporary vocal and rhythmic stylings to send the listener an encloaking vision of a different sonic world order. | | | In this a blueprint was established for underground progressive music from death/black metal to grindcore. |

| | Digital Ruin are becoming one of the better bands in progressive metal scene, and their debut album "Listen" provides high hopes for the follow-up. | | | With the next album, the band can establish themselves in the highest league of prog metal, because they do not seem to suffer from the lack of creativity and you cannot trace from their music back to Fates Warning (although Archetype are also a guitar-based prog metal band). | | | Exactly the name you would expect that a progressive metal band would have, a progressive metal style cover, and traditional progressive metal music. |

| | 2005 release from the melodic symphonic prog/power metal band. | | | On their second album, the band continue in their heavy prog metal Fates Warning style, although heavier, with a charismatic, high pitched singer and unusual rhythms and melodies with an intense guitar sound. | | | Second release for the Scandanavian band, playing a heavier blend of melodic power metal than their first album, and one that is more smooth in production. |

| | His posthumous album Torched was released from recordings of an album in progress. | | | More psychedelic than progressive, this DC area band had a few albums, one of which was a self produced triple album recorded over a period of several years. | | | They play in an "epic" progressive metal style with lyrics based on science fiction and heroic fantasy themes and feature lots of heavy, fast guitar work but include a large dose of keyboards as well. |

| | That group's imaginative lyrics and complex song structures were distinctly progressive, while its image and attitude remained palatable to metal fans. | | | However, prog-metal's odd time signatures, theatrical lyrics, and exploratory song structures would not survive the grunge revolution, and with the exception of revivalists Dream Theater, it was relegated to the extreme outskirts of popular culture by the mid-'90s. | | | Everwood plays keyboard centric melodic progressive metal band from Hungary. |

| | i think progressive metal sounds better when its combinated with doom, but dream theater is very nice also, i have this video from them i dont know what the name of the song is, but i think the singer is wearing a napalm death t shirt. | | | Dream Theater are amazing, i love their new album. | | | As for progressive bands: Kalisia, Woods Of Ypres, and O.S.I. are all greats that didn't get mentioned. |

| | Progressive Metal is a combination of classic heavy metal, classic progressive rock, and the melodic finesse of hard rock. | | | The progressive contrast between heavy and mellow passages still exists, though the vocals have a smooth, powerful feel, and there is occassionally more double bass drumming. | | | The resulting style is one that is dynamic, technical, usually guitar and keyboard-heavy, and melodic with a focus on intelligent lyrical content. |

| | He explained to me that he is the only musician and he does the vocals, and that he felt he was taking metal in a new direction. | | | If you are like me, you always have music on in the car, on your home stereo system, on your PC, etc. I have music on wherever I go, but it's almost never on the radio, because they don't want to play anything that I want to hear. | | | So, I am always on the hunt for unsigned and unknown progressive metal bands. |
