Jul 20, 2024 · Metal Hammer. 7 new progressive metal albums that break all the genre’s rules. By Matt Mills. ( Metal Hammer ) published 20 July 2024. So many prog metal bands want to sound like Tool, Gojira or Meshuggah – but not these seven forward-thinkers. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...
- Opeth, 'Blackwater Park' (2001) With ‘Blackwater Park’, Opeth mastered what could be capable with progressive metal. It’s an album filled with personality and careful attention to detail, easily blending together moments of dissonance and harmony.
- Dream Theater, 'Images and Words' (1992) It’s almost hard to imagine the thought and care that went into crafting Dream Theater’s opus, ‘Images and Words.’
- Queensryche, 'Operation Mindcrime' (1988) ‘Operation Mindcrime’ helped bring progressive metal to the masses, showing how appealing the guitar work and sound could be to anybody.
- Fates Warning, 'Awaken the Guardian' (1986) Fates Warning would become godfathers of progressive metal, constantly evolving their work from one song to the next.
- Meshuggah - Immutable. If you ask what Meshuggah’s classic album is, you’ll get at least three different answers. Immutable could very well be the fourth.
- Devin Townsend - Lightwork. Lightwork is the polar opposite of 2019’s unhinged Empath: a simple and heartfelt collection of (mainly) straightforward pop-metal songs, all with melodies so large you could stick a flag in them and claim them for the nation of your choosing.
- Oceans Of Slumber – Starlight And Ash. Stripping away pretty much all of their grandiose artillery, this Oceans Of Slumber’s most minimalist record to date, drawing its heaviness instead from a well of emotion, inspired by the dark allure of artists like Nick Cave and Tom Waits.
- Coheed and Cambria – Vaxis II: A Window Of The Waking Mind. Ten albums into a stellar career, Vaxis II is a superbly realised vision from a band whose ambition knows no bounds.
