Maybe some stuff i missed from 80s or 90s?

 

Looking for suggestions similar to maybe Crimson Glory or Psychotic Waltz ( thank you greyfriar!)

 

Maybe some stuff i just forgot

 

 

Thanks

One band that is kinda unknown is a band called Magenta (they are active now). Great band! Here is my favorite song with them, be sure to listen to that great guitar solo at the end:

IDK, I wouldn't categorize this under prog metal. Personally, I think this sounds closest to symphonic power metal than prog metal. Just my opinion, but I can see how this band can appeal to fans of prog metal.

I liked it til the vocals started. But I don't hear prog this sounds like European power metal.

 

But his voice...too much forced vibrato.

 

Sounds like he is hitting notes whilst sitting on a washing machine.

 

But good music! I found it better than the last track I had tried.

I definitely see the vocal issue - :LOL: washing machine :LOL:

Listening to sieges even right now. It was from the prog archives list. One cool thing about that list is the 4 albums to try that pop up and refresh at the bottom. I dont think ive visited prog archives in a very long time

 

The lethal sounds very promising and very much what i was looking for

 

 

Unable to find a stream of the madison just yet, you tube it may have to be

dj, you got Voivod, right ??

 

Nothingface definitely ventured into prog

 

 

voivod are in an odd place. I love them, but I've always kinda felt bad for them - they aren't squeaky clean enough for most people into rush/dream theater/queensryche, and they're often too intricate for your average heavy metal guy.

 

I met away and snake, by the way. they're rush fans

That's very cool ... I can totally understand the Rush / Voivod link - a lot of what I like about Cygnus X1 is what I like and see in Voivod

Tom Warrior / Fischer has said how much he loves Rush and how he started on bass because of Geddy ... Celtic Frost didn't come as close to prog as Voivod, but Into The Pandemonium sort of hits that same spot

The issue I had with Jupiter's vocalist for me initially was that I thought he sounded too sterile and compressed but after reading Segue's comment, I can't unhear the "washing machine" vocals anymore. :LOL:

Segue, I'll be thinking of you next time Jupiter goes on
