Brux suggested these guys [[http://www.myspace.com/protestthehero|Protest The Hero]] (2008/01/28).  Proggy metal, I am intrigued!


In the [[http://www.heavymetalradio.com]] forums, it was suggested that if you like good melodic death metal, you should give these bands a try:
  * Amon Amarth 
  * Amorphis
  * As I lay dying
  * Asphix
  * Dethklok (from metalocalypse)
  * Moonsorrow (which I actually heard this morning, a very long progressive sounding song (I though it was Opeth))
  * Finntroll

New list from 2012/11/20:
  * Arcane Rain Fell, Draconian
  * Burning: A Wish, Lacrimas Profundere
  * Daylight Dies
  * Entwine
  * Shamrain
  * Swallow the Sun
  * Symphony X
  * Katatonia

====== Tasted ======

I heard the band **RA** today on a shoutcast, with a song called __Sky__ that was heavy with nice singing (what a change... has the tide of growling finally turned?).  The guitar solo was nothing flashy but tasteful.  Is there hope Obi Wan?  They've been around a while, and have changed a bit... not sure if they are the truth out there, but I really enjoy good singing.  I think I'm just a progressive metal guy at this point.
