I`m not actually back, still on hols until the first few weeks of Jan, just getting a quick bit of internet time.;)

Well, enough to hopefully tell Batlord what an awful job he's doing of the Metal Wars thread! I can't believe it.

Anyway, I've been enjoying a bit of Helloween at your recommendation:



Just so awesome.

have you heard Tool?

not exactly similar but kinda same vibe

Death's "Symbolic", "Human" and "Individual Though Patterns" are prog-death

Any Tool albums to recommend?

Dark Tranquility might be up your alley, albeit I don't consider it prog.

Did someone say prog metal? Opeth is definitely on the right track. I would also recommend...





If you're looking for jazzier metal...



I know Mahavishnu isn't exactly metal, but they're damn close and may as well be metal for the early 70's.

my fave are "Lateralus" and "10,000 Days"

Thanks for all the recommendations, time to sift my way through them all

Tool, Colour Haze, Kyuss...
