Oct 6, 2024 · Cult Australian prog metal outfit Karnivool have been announced as the headliners for 2025’s Arctangent festival – though it’s been over a decade since they last released a record, 2013’s Asymmetry. Back then, Metal Hammer met up with the band on the road in Switzerland to look back on their remarkable rise.
This section will likewise be dedicated to those 70s prog rock bands, the few (non-progressive) metal bands that'd majorly influence the genre and the earliest forms of progressive metal. Before Dream Theater came and took over the scene, prog metal was largely left to a few more experimental power and thrash metal bands.
- Metal Hammer
- Gojira. When brothers Joe and Mario Duplantier co-founded a bedroom band called Godzilla, they just wanted to imitate their heroes Machine Head and Morbid Angel.
- Symphony X. Led by virtuoso guitarist Michael Romeo, Symphony X are never knowingly under-the-top. Exploding into view with their self-titled debut in 1994, the Americans took the template laid down by Dream Theater, Queensryche and the rest, and cranked the intensity up to boiling point.
- Iron Maiden. No one would dispute Iron Maiden’s credentials as one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time, but their status as authentic prog metallers is somewhat less celebrated.
- Enslaved. Enslaved are hailed as leaders of Viking metal, but their palate ventures far beyond that. Mayhem guitarist Euronymous turned the band on to Tangerine Dream in his record shop, Helvete, and it ignited a passion for esoteric sounds that made them second-wave black metal’s most genre-smashing band.
3. Voivod - Dimension HatrossNoise (1988) Every prog metal fan is aware of how important and influential Voivod was at the end of the ‘80s. Even though the signs were there, “Dimension Hatross” was the album that made the difference and established their name among peers and fans alike.
