IIL Rolo Tomassi and Make Them Suffer

I've grown to really like progmetal stuff that's a got some heaviness to it but also sounds beautiful like Rolo Tomassi - End of Eternity and Make Them Suffer - How to Survive a Funeral

(I know this isn't the proggiest song by them but just one of my favorites)

I just really like the ambience, atmosphere, and how nice it sounds if that makes sense? I haven't been able to find many bands like that.

Nechochwen - Skimota (prog folk, heavy metal FFO: Agalloch, Folk-peth)

Really an underrated, incredible band that deserves more love. Normally they play a combination of (melodic-ish) black metal and neo/dark folk with some progressive elements. This is one of their clean songs, and I find it particularly beautiful. I recommend their most recent two albums if you want to hear more

What are some great prog rock bands that lean into prog metal a bit more than standard prog rock?

Not looking for full on prog metal like Opeth (I do love opeth so much though). I'm thinking more like Porcupine tree's albums 'Fear of a Blank Planet' and 'In Absentia'.

Bands similar to Mastodon, Baroness, Moon Tooth, Mutoid Man

Hey there!

Looking for bands with similar styles of guitar work to the above! Open to most types of singing but not a fan of vocals that sound super polished (haken, dream theater) or core-esque - like periphery

Is there any good prog/post metal bands with the band name starting with Q, Y, X or Z

I'm trying to get one artist for each letter of the the alphabet (in my cd collection), and these are the last letters remaining. With Y i will get Ylva (post metal) so yeah I'll get Y covered but yeah more bands will be more fun 😊

Looking to hire an artist for EP art. Please suggest some artists I can binge on their galleries!

Looking to hire an album artist for an EP. Im not great at describing the art I want but I'll know it when I see it. I just need to find some artists to look at their gallery and find my specific vibe. For reference it's a prog metal/avante garde/collage sound kind of album.

Anybody know any bands heavier than Frontierer?

Anybody know bands that are heavier than Frontierer? I feel like they push the limits of what most sound systems can handle. Anyway, I need a new fix. Something to really just bash my head in with a sledgehammer you feel me?

Anyone into experimental Deathcore? [r3dplague]

Check out r3dplague, a solo project from Turkey blending Deathcore with symphonic, black, progressive, and folk vibes. The themes dive into philosophy and eco-anarchism, giving it a unique edge.

Definitely worth a listen if you like stuff that pushes boundaries.
