A subreddit for the metal subgenre progressive metal.

All lineages of metal turned progressive are welcome here. Metal songs with unconventional song structures, odd-time signatures, key, tempo and mood changes all belong here.

However, unlike /r/progmetal, that means no -core, alternative, djent or rock bands. So post your BTBAM/Protest the Hero/Tool/Animals as Leaders/Porcupine Tree over there.

Progressive Metal

Everything progressive in the metal world.

All lineages of metal turned progressive are welcome here. Metal songs with unconventional song structures, odd-time signatures, key, tempo and mood changes all belong here.

However, unlike /r/progmetal, that means no -core, alternative, djent or rock bands. So post your BTBAM/Protest the Hero/Tool/Animals as Leaders/Porcupine Tree over there.

So is r/Metal too little prog for you, and r/progmetal too little metal? Then this is the place to go to.

NOTE: Bands with either prog metal as a secondary genre or of a strongly related genre are welcome too. So we generally allow post and avantgarde metal as well and Iron Maiden's longer songs are welcome too for example.

Culak - From That Citadel in the Sky

Today I released a song called "From That Citadel in the Sky", which is a phrase from the Ancient Greek philosopher Seneca in reference to viewing life in the broadest perspective possible--that in the broadest perspective of the universe, everything is fine.

Again…

A while back I asked for band recommendations on the sub and found a couple good bands. But on band really stood out to me and that was The Reticent, truly amazing. But I do want to keep going into this genre of music, got any more Prog/death metal band recommendations? I like the band Opeth, Rivers of Nihil, and now The Reticent.

PSYCHIC WARFARE PODCAST - OCEANS OF SLUMBER

Hey all,

I'm Kris and I host a podcast called Psychic Warfare, where I interview metal and rock artists of all subgenres about the philosophy and spirituality that has guided their life and music. It goes much deeper than I think most interviews in heavy music media ever go with musicians. I promise I won't promote it too much as per the rules, and I'm not sure if this is welcome here, but I just dropped my first episode in a year (had to break for personal stuff) and it features Cammie Beverly of Oceans of Slumber. I felt they had enough prog-leanings and tendencies to warrant a post, so check it out below if you appreciate actually diving into the soul of a person instead of learning if they enjoyed their last tour or had fun making their new record. I hope you enjoy it and subscribe to the pod if you like the content! Thanks guys!

Looking

So I recently got into the progdeath scene, I absolutely love Opeth. So excited for their new album. I also love listening to Death and Edge of Sanity. Although I’m looking more for an Opeth sound. However, I also would love to hear a band that actually expands on the sound created in Where Owls Know My Name by Rivers of Nihil. Mind you I’m not looking for tech death bands, I find kind of boring but anyways, yall have any recommendations.
