What do you think of these albums and what albums would be in your top 10 prog metal debut albums of all time? Let me know in the comments.
nice list. Kezia is fantastic and I find their best record still.
Native Construct is also up there.
I'll add some of my favorites:
-Angra - Angel's Cry
-Pain of Salvation - Entropia
-Superior - Behind
-In Vain - The Latter Rain
-Cynic - Focus
-Subterranean Masquerade - Suspended Animation Dreams
-Shadow Gallery - Shadow Gallery
-Soundscape - Discovery
-The Faceless - Akeldama
-SikTh - The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait for Something Wild
-Disillusion -Back to the Times of Splendor
-Spiral Architect - A Skeptics Universe
yeah doing a sophomore, 3rd, 4th albums list would be cool.
I agree I like Kezia best from PTH cause I'm a fan of concept albums. Technically speaking PTH becomes more technically proficient later in their career and their songwriting becomes smoother in terms of transitions but I like the spastic, random and chaotic nature of Kezia better even though I can see improvement over their career in other ways. I don't think they played to a click on Kezia but they started playing to a click later.
Thanks for the recommendations. I've only heard Pain of Salvation, Cynic, The Faceless and Sikth from that list so it looks like there's always more for me to check out.
@@deathbyunicorn I find Kezia to be their most creative with the acoustic sections and female vocals from Jadea Kelly I think made it stand out for me.
Yeah those albums are all great, you probably would enjoy most of them.
@@AllMediaReviewsPodcast Scurrilous and Volition feature Jadea Kelly doing some guest vocal appearances too. But another great thing about Kezia and Fortress that doesn't apply to their later albums is that all the lyrics are written by Arif MIrabdolbaghi and he has more fantasy, history, mythology and concept-inspired lyrics that unify everything. Scurrilous was a mix of Arif and Rody on lyrics. Rody's lyrics are more personal, literal and comedic. Rody writes all the lyrics on Volition and Palimpsest. On Palimpsest, he got a lot better at coming up with a unifying theme for all the lyrics.
The only harsh vocal band that I can get into is gojira for some reason they don't bother me
I'd suggest getting into newer Opeth since they don't have harsh vocals and then working your way backwards in their discography to get to albums like Watershed, Ghost Reveries, Deliverance, Blackwater Park and Still Life in particular because they all have a mix of harsh and clean vocals and if you're already into Opeth's stuff with only clean vocals, it may not be too much of a stretch to start enjoying their stuff with some harsh vocals.
Old school debuts seiges even life cycle and control denied the fragile art of existence are progressive metal classics
Thanks for these suggestions. Surprisingly, I've never listened to either of these before but they sound like they would be right up my alley.
Control denied! RIP CHUCK expect the unexpected!
