	The Progressive Pages / www.progpages.com
		In almost all everyday situations, mention of the term "progressive rock" or "progressive metal" will result in blank stares that generally lead to the question, "What is progressive music?" Newcomers to the genre, myself included at the time, seem to frequently ask this question in prog discussions.
		No clear cut definition exists as to just what exactly is meant by the terms "progressive music," "progressive rock," or "progressive metal." To get a true sense of what these terms mean, one must take into consideration all the sub-genres, properties, styles, characteristics, and all the other abstract qualities that surround it.
		A somewhat common element of progressive music is the "concept album" (or "rock-opera"), which is basically a storyline or theme-based work in which the individual songs on an album all relate to one another to either directly recount a story or to immerse the listener into a more abstract experience.

	Avant-garde Metal - Stories: Technical Progressive Death Metal - ERA 1: ORIGINS ( 1988 - 1998 )
		As the thrash scene morphed into the crushing sonics of death metal (Obituary, Entombed, Morbid Angel, Death, Carcass), it was inevitable that a new generation of metal musicians would infuse it with the same proficiency of technical chops and bizarre time signatures.
		Meanwhile the elements of melody and traditional as well as progressive metal took on a new context in the maiden worshipping death metal of Europe (particularly Sweden).
		The harmonized melodic leads, thrashy riffing, raspy vocals and pounding attacks were not vey progressive in themselves but influenced a plethora of bands of the second era who took a step further to combine it with jazz tonalities and the non-traditional time signatures for some vigorous new sounds.

	Progressive metal reviews (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Progressive metal, for example, does not have a clear identity anymore, and this is mainly caused by its blurred margin with the genre's closest cousin, power metal.
		Neoclassical metallers Symphony X are often called progressive, and sometimes even symphonic power metal of Blind Guardian is considered to be progressive metal, which is a pure sacrilege to the original understanding of progressive metal term.
		Meanwhile, traditional progressive metal fades to the bottom layers of the underground, partly because it is overshadowed by power metal (which rejoices its biggest success as a genre today), but mostly because the last three or five years did not bring any new noteworthy progressive metal bands.

	The BNR Metal Pages, Version 2 - Progressive Metal
		Initially, progressive metal bands fell into two camps, the first being bands who incorporated quirky time signatures and atypical riffing into metal, and the (related) second being metal bands strongly influenced by 70's progressive rock bands such as Yes, Genesis, and ELP.
		Watchtower and Thought Industry are two excellent examples of the first group, while Dream Theater remains the most well-known of the latter group, as well as the single band most fans point to first when referring to progressive metal.
		On the extreme end of progressive metal is technical metal, where the musicianship and songwriting variance is placed at an even higher premium.

		Progressive metal can be broken down into countless sub-genres corresponding to certain other styles of music that have influenced progressive metal groups.
		For avant-garde metal, most of the experimentation is in the use of unusual sounds and instruments not usually associated with 1990s metal, such as the Hammond organ and the violin.
		Progressive metal also puts a greater emphasis on technicality and theoretical complexity (e.g., odd time signatures, complex song forms, jazz fusion influences), while avant-garde metal is more unorthodox and tends to question many of the musical conventions.

	#15 Reviews [Power/Progressive Metal] (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Basically precise power metal married to sensuous progressive metal (as well as a variety of world/folk influences), Kamelot has very nearly mastered the art of power metal composition and execution.
		Allusions to many of his themes are found here and there in the progressive genre (work to do for music researchers), but it's not usual at all to find tributes with the high degree of purity, integrity, and compromise with the original work, which Venice's metal axeman work shows.
		While atmospheric/darker metal as well as progressive metal has notable bands fronted by female vocals, power metal is a bit behind in this respect, so Power Symphony have good chances to be one of the first quality acts to take the slot.

	Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - King Crimson - The Power To Believe
		Few bands with a discography spanning five decades are able to keep their music fresh and relevant to contemporary music, let alone contemporary heavy metal.
		This is a far less melodic album than most progressive metal out there; it is more like progressive industrial.
		But serious flaws aside, this is a great album, and sounds more like a contemporary progressive metal band than a 30+ year old originator of a genre.

	Heavy Metal Genres
		The more modern and commonly used definition of classic heavy metal is a reference to the sound created by metal bands when metal was at its peak of commercial success in the early to mid 80's.
		This genre of metal produced the highest number of bands, so that it's sound is now so generic to sometimes be simply labeled "Heavy Metal" (no prefix), and considered the main branch of music from which most other genres split.
		Granted, the true glam metal band's watered down version of metal wasn't anything to be terribly proud of, and their image still sends shudders through most metalheads.
