03.28.26 | I couldn't agree more, and it's depressing. I still dig "proggy" heavy music, but usually when heavily mixed with some other genres.. the general ones like you mentioned are all so generic these days. Lame. |
rockarollacola
03.28.26 | always has been |
Relinquished
03.28.26 | exactly, this is absolutely nothing new

03.28.26 | 80’s/early 90’s prog has always been way better anyway |

Tundra
03.28.26 | Agree, it's been ass this decade |
ShartHarder
03.28.26 | still enjoy Elder a lot but agree their newer sound is less exciting. itd check out the EP they dropped last year tho - it was far more metal and sounded like Reflections while still having the Camel and space prog worship of the newer stuff |
Tundra
03.28.26 | Most prog metal fans nowadays listen to the likes of Vola and Cold Night For Alligators. These bands are not very prog to me. I find them very boring. |
Storm In A Teacup
03.28.26 | Vola is prog if you have a concussion or any brain damage. |

03.28.26 | I don't know what you're talking about. You should've grown out of the clean vocals walled garden by now

Demon of the Fall
03.28.26 | usually yes (and especially recently) but not always
these are the wrong bands (okay The Ocean used to be good) |

03.28.26 | Most prog is fucking terrible ya |
Motiv3
03.28.26 | Prog Metal used to be one of my favourite subgenres but in recent years my taste has changed a bit. Now I can't listen to most of it.
Also Elder is a great band though admittedly I haven't listened to their most recent releases. |
Demon of the Fall
03.28.26 | one great thing about RYM (yeah the community sucks etc.) is that according to their genre tags I have a grand total of THREE (3!) prog metal albums above a 4.0
Sput is like, yeah but you love this shit cos we don’t have an alternatives, so let’s put it in your pie at 12% regardless 😂 (quantity over quality and I must’ve lived a chequered past!) |

03.28.26 | I was so happy the day prog left my pie lol. At least Nevermore is back |
Demon of the Fall
03.28.26 | legitimate prog metal I do like…
Opeth, Dir En Grey, Voivod, Enslaved, Ved Buens Ende, Anacrusis, prog era Death, Colored Sands era Gorguts, Atheist, maudlin of the Well, Mastodon & (early) Persefone (Core is the GOAT!) |
oltnabrick
03.28.26 | I like Slipknot |
Brabiz
03.28.26 | I think it blends into the same soup as djent, in that a majority of it is nothing but overproduced chugging. I hate modern prog metal so much |
Eakflanderyof
03.28.26 | Need to add caligula's horse to this list. But yeah, these prog metal bands now sound like Coldplay with unconventional song structures |
FrozenFirebug
03.28.26 | prog is not real
it is an umbrella term for 3 genres
1. tool-likes
2. talentless chugging horseshit
3. pop metal with weird structures sometimes |
oltnabrick
03.28.26 | 4. Slipknot |
BigBlob
03.28.26 | "Most prog is fucking terrible ya"

jrlikestodance
03.28.26 | Slipknot makes music for rappers and rockers which is pretty progressive |
arthropod
03.28.26 | "it is an umbrella term for 3 genres

Now tell me which one of these is for L.D. 50 |

03.29.26 | 1 + 3 + 4 |
Hyperion1001
03.29.26 | a surefire way to know a metal album sucks if it's genre tags contain both the words "progressive" and "melodic" |
