Mustard Death Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Oh yeah, you gotta check out Tool too FF. I'll send you a song or two of theirs next time I talk to you on MSN. And Iced Earth are power metal I suppose, but Borknagar are prog. Borknagar's older releases were more black metal, but their past two have been much more prog than the others.

Freedom_Fighter Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 i've heard of Tool, i don't really consider them prog. they're just Metal to me. and i'm not too crazy over them. i mean don't get me wrong they have some songs that just flippin jam, like i guess i heard the Aenima cd and really really really liked it, but i also just recently heard the Lateralus cd and it was just too...i duno what the word for it is. it's like in every song they just go on with strange noises and crap for like 3 or 4 minutes at the beginnings and/or ends of songs, and it's not that appealing to me. i really like A Perfect Circle though. Maynard is definitely an awesome singer. and yea i didn't listen to those sound clips cuz i'm at my aunt's right now with a bunch of people in the house, but when i get back home i'll check out those magma sound clips. they sound like a really interesting band i'll hafta check 'em out.

circumstantial tree Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 On The Dividing Line last night, I heard a group from the '70's called Star Castle. I had never heard of them, but they were really good! And I gotta tell ya that they are very Yes influenced. Sounded every bit like Yes music. Another group that has my interest pique'd is Kino. I've only heard the tune "Leave a Light On", but I hope all their other tunes are equally brilliant. I'm trying to find their CD "Picture". Wasn't at Borders, so I may have to find it online and purchase it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor & the Jazz Bass Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 QUOTE (clearingsky @ Jun 30 2005, 09:19 PM) For something newer, look to the Magna Carta label. Recommendations: Tiles Ice Age Under The Sun Proto-Kaw 7th Key Spocks Beard I auditioned for "Ice Age" to fill their bass spot. Didn't make it though, but I was happy to be asked. there are some really good prog.bands out there today. Here are a few Shadow Gallery Opeth Enchant Queensryche(They been around for a long time) Spiral Architect Crimson Glory Ice Age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Tool is prog...prog-metal.... Here is a definition of Progressive Rock...Tool easily fits the criteria..If u look under the Prog-metal section, u will see Tool listed.... http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive-rock.asp Anyways Tool rocks...they have an abundance of intelligence, energy and feeling unlike DT....

Jovitull Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Any excuse to plug them but I am on a bit of a crusade to get the world into........Mostly Autumn! Very much in the style of some of the 70's prog bands (Floyd being their main influence I guess) but with a sound very much their own. Their latest album Storms Over Still Water has just come out and is an absolute masterpiece, just buy it, I guarantee you'll thank me It can be ordered from Mostly Autumn records at http://www.mostlyautumnrecords.com/ and sound samples are at the bands official site.... http://www.mostly-autumn.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't hate them more, I thought they were lame. But I guess that's just me. Kino is a supergroup-type thingy with Pat Trewavas, I think, of Marillion. --------- Progressive music? I love progressive metal, Dream Theater Opeth Tool Queensryche Symphony X Fates Warning etc. classic prog, Jethro Tull Yes Kansas Genesis (some) King Crimson (a lot of) ELP Triumvirat Renaissance newer prog, Marillion Spock's Beard Ayreon Neal Morse Pallas Salem Hill space rock, Hawkwind Pink Floyd Alan Parsons Project Italian prog, PFM Banco Maxophone etc. and etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I forgot to mention post rock, Radiohead The Mars Volta Mogwai ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead Godspeed You! Black Emperor and fusion, Tony Williams Lifetime The Yellowjackets Al DiMeola Return To Forever Herbie Hancock Miles Davis Mahavishnu Weather Report Jaco Pastorius in my prog-likeingness.

They arent really prog so much as they are experimental, but through thier career, there is a definate progression in musical styling. Check out Paranoid Android or Karma Police (thier 2 hits) off of OK Computer, or pretty much all of Kid A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Death Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I never really considered Tool metal, just hard rock at the most. Maybe that's because I listen to Death Metal and it's hardened me hehe. But on the Lateralus CD, they don't have the strange, droning noise things that much. And when they do, they're on their own track so you can skip it if you want. I would rate both Aenima and Lateralus as high as possible, but say Lateralus is a little better. I personally think Maynard's wasting his time with A Perfect Circle, they suck >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend the entire OK Computer album . . . They do indeed write progressive music, definitely not the "symphonic prog" of the 70's, but bounding the definition to that goes against the meaning of the genre in the first place.

It's anybody's guess as to what metal is. The genre has changed so much that by modern standards Rush, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and etc. can no longer be called metal. They become "hard rock," along with Savatage, Queensryche, and Dream Theater and Tool. It's all part of metal history to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
