Keen to hear about some progmetal albums to check out if anyone feels like sharing. My 3 would be pretty safe bets.

I think mine are pretty safe, too:

Periphery — Juggernaut
Haken — Visions
Between the Buried and Me — Colors

Hard to choose 3 as im fairly new to progmetal and been listening mostly to btbam, trying to listen to more recently though.

between the buried and me - the great misdirect
the human abstract - digital veil
world is quiet here - zon, is one i recently listened to and really enjoy so ill stick it here.

maybe not exactly my top 3 but the first ones that came to mind

If you're a fan of BTBAM and TWIQH I definitely recommend checking out Others by No One if you haven't yet. Book 2 is an incredible album!

[-] hschen@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah im aware of them, i havent checked them out yet

[-] legendarydromedary@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'll go with:

Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane
Pagan's Mind - Enigmatic: Calling
Symphony X - The Odyssey

Got the opportunity to finally see Symphony X live last year. They've been one of my favorite bands for a couple decades now, but holy hell are they insanely good live.

[-] legendarydromedary@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Yes they're a great live band! Love it when they play The Odyssey live

[-] Venutianxspring@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

They played the Odyssey as the encore last year, it was amazing. They sounds just as good in person as they do on album

[-] loputozirak@lemmy.cat 6 points 2 years ago

hard question but my bet is:

opeth - ghost reveries
between the buried and me - coma ecliptic
wilderun - sleep at the edge of the earth

[-] _ed@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Awesome I have a few albums to check out. Mine would be:

Opeth - Blackwater Park
Mastodon - Blood Mountain
Gojira - Live at vieilles charrues 2010

If 2. not considered Prog swap with CTS 3. Non official release, swap with the live Les Enfants Sauvages

[-] inconceeeivable@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Opeth - Ghost Reveries/Watershed (tie)
Caligula's Horse - In Contact
Haken - Affinity

[-] _ed@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Some love for watershed - I haven’t seen it near the top of too many lists, but I enjoy it it has a good mix of styles.

[-] ziltoid101@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Devin Townsend Project - Deconstruction

Caligula's Horse - In Contact

Karnivool - Sound Awake

[-] notx@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I'll have to mention Igorrr because nobody did, which is strange.
Igorrr - Savage Sinusoid

My favorites change all the time, but right now: Catch 33, The Joy of Motion and Holocene.
