--- Quote from: rostheferret on December 01, 2011, 07:32:55 PM ---Leprous' "Bilateral" is now a contender for my album of the year; "Extreme Progressive Metal" fits best as they've been compared to every prog name under the sun (Muse, Kalisia,  Haken, Opeth, Cynic, DTP, Porcupine Tree, PoS, Mars Volta, Mr. Bungle, Protest the Hero, etc, etc). They're themselves and that's no bad thing when they're this awesome. Formed by Ihsahn (Emperor, Peccatum) to be his backing band for his solo project, they began writing stuff together in their spare time and ended up with this.

Oh boy, I honestly can't tell you how much I like this band. I listened to Thorn and it pretty much sold me. The vocals are what draw me the most to this band.

Got anymore like these guys?

rostheferret:
*ponders*

Kalisia? (If you missed this one, it literally defines "Epic;" took them 15 years to write, contains a philosophical and detailed concept story. Fuck they spent a year creating an "alien" language used in some of the lines. This is the LotR of prog metal...)

Gonin-Ish? (Short-lived "Extreme Prog" band, with bits of folk, thrash, black and death metal tossed in)

Dan Swano's "Moontower?" ("If Rush played Death Metal in the 70s" - Swano)

Ram-Zet? (Extreme Avant-Garde)

Arcturus? (Sort of futuristic, spacey symphonic black).

Kinda the problem with Avant-Garde is there's usually nothing else that sounds like them...

levasty:
Oh man. I remember the days when I would listen to nothing but metal and more metal. Black Metal, Death Metal, Speed, Prog, Sludge, Grind and all those shit.

Got tired of it though and started to listen to house and trance instead, with the occasional ambient thrown in. I listen to Dragonforce once in a while as well just to feel mighty.

Didn't read the posts above me but I glanced the word Avant-Garde. Perhaps you guys might enjoy Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, <code>, Ved Buens Ende, In the woods..., Fleurety or Miasma & the Carousel of Headless Horses if they haven't been suggested.

rostheferret:
Well it's not all metal but most of it is, so it fits better here than anywhere else. A month of trauling through all the albums I've listened to this year to come up with my end of year list.
