How would you explain Progressive Metal to someone who's never heard it before?

tell them its like metal but the riffs instead of being chaotic have more melody to it. so like melodic metal (make sure they understand you mean metal not hardcore or screamo cuz thats wat mainstream metal is now a days)

you should give wolfmother a go, they seem to have a slightly mythological side to a few of thier songs and are to be recomended if you like good old style metal such as deep purple and black sabbath.

Sounds cool.  Never heard it.  Unless of course that song from Killing Bill was Japanese Thrash.  That's what I imagine it would sound like based on it's title.

Wow I'm impressed.  I thought I was the only motherf#cker on this planet that listened to stuff like Dio, Heart, Skid Row, Vixen, Motley Crue, Fire house and the more popular ones on your list of course like Maiden, Queen, Ozzy, GNR, Metallica.\nYou must also try out stuff like Rainbow, Van Halen, I can't think of any more, looks like you covered them all.\n\nI love you man, keep rockin'   !!!

Being the emotional person I am, a song grabs me if it has feeling, and for some reason I feel more when I listen to Metallica.  I had never really liked them until I heard the song Unforgiven...that did it for me, it changed my whole perception of them, that whole album opened my eyes to their style, and with that altered perception I found myself liking thier earlier works as well.

"One" for Metallica, it's not rock... But classic metal just try it ;)

I can't exactly say if they are similar, but you may try to listen to "Amorphis", " Apocalyptica", " Children Of Bodom", "Nightwish", "Rhapsody", "Sentenced", "Sirenia".\n\nI hope you'll find something for your taste of music :)

The Sound of Animals Fighting¹ and Fall of Troy sound a lot like The Mars Volta.  They're both a bit heavier though.  You might also like Explosions in the Sky, Porcupine Tree, Kayo Dot, Isis, Cult of Luna, Red Sparowes, ...and You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead² and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.\n\nI'll update if I think of any more.

It really hurts my feelings that people don't realise that Queens of the Stone Age, Korn, ACDC and Disturbed aren't metal. \n\nSeriously, go buy a copy of heavy metal 101 and educate yourselves on what the genre really is...\n\nPantera,40 Below Summer, Cradle of Filth, Metallica, Slipknot, Illdisposed, the Haunted, DemonHunter, Machine Head, Pantera, Slayer, Cryptopsy, Soulfly, just to name a few...

I love all genres of music (most), but I especially love Metal and Du Wop. Out of your options, I think I would pick Techno, though I prefer Industrial (Rammstein). I like your name.

It is music. I mean there are different types of music and metal is one of them. If you like it...then it's your type. Music is like art.(people like different tpyes of it)

Being from the Albany, NY area...I have a theory.  This area has a huge underground hardcore scene.  (not intended to be an oxy-moron).  The scene has been around a lot longer and has been more prevalant than most i have seen in any other area.   My theory is that in this area, there are more kids than ever (who are part of ANY rock based scene) who are exposed to hardcore.  With the die-hard fans aide, a lot of them find unusally creative elements that they like, but sometimes a scene or a sound that they dont.  Therefore, they continue to go to the shows, to have fun and see their friends....and take elements from the hardcore scene back home with them to band practice...and the influence comes out in a lot of ways...in metalcore, in thrash metal, in "scream-o"...but not usually in its pure format.    I think that the genre is based on exposure..and here in eastern NY and west Mass, we have that oppourtunity.  I think that that oppourtunity has a lot to do with other influences....like the dropkick murphys who influenced blood for blood, who influenced bands like hatebreed...who influenced bands like section 8....who influenced     Snapcase and so on and so forth.  all of those bands have local ties to this area...and all of them are mutated from many forms of  rock and punk.  Its a cycle of influence and growth...worship and tribute.

Not sure what your question is, but here is a link to a page describing the band:

What kind of music do you play?\n\ndeath metal -- something dark... obviously :)\n\ncountry -- something fun and twangy\n\nrock -- anything goes, basically\n\njazz -- make it sort of sophisticated\n\n\n\nThink about yourself and your band.  Do you have any common interests (besides the music you play)?  Are your names similar in any way, or can you make a cool acronym out of them?\n\nYou could all just think of a word separately and then come together and see what you have.  Put them together, try to make something cool out of them.  I've done this before, and the results can be pretty cool.\n\nGood luck :)
