- 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.
- Queensryche – Operation: Mindcrime. With Queensrÿche having escaped from the NWOBHM influences of their early recordings, Operation: Mindcrime was a early prog-metal zenith.
- Dream Theatre – Images & Words. Dream Theater had to overcome a number of hurdles in order to create their second album, and their masterpiece. But with new vocalist James LaBrie safely in the fold, the prog metal pioneers were out to prove a point.
- Opeth – Blackwater Park (2001) A new millennium brought a new sense of urgency to Opeth’s bold musical efforts. Blackwater Park was not just a self-evident career peak from a young band with the wind in their sails for the first time, it also had a profound impact on the entire world of heavy music, as lengthy, elaborate epics like The Leper Affinity and The Drapery Falls reintroduced progressive ideals and creative bravery to the metal world, while acoustic reveries like Harvest showcased a desire to move beyond it.
- Tool – Lateralus (2000) Not just prog metal – Lateralus is one of the greatest records of any genre full stop. A genuinely faultless near 80-minute-long piece of music that still sounds like it’s been created by some kind of higher power, more than 20 after it was dropped on an unsuspecting world.
