Pain of Salvation - Be [Live DVD]

I am...
I was not, then I came to be.
I cannot remember not being.
But I may have traveled very far to get here.



















Artist: Pain of Salvation
Album: Be [Live DVD] (2004)
Genre: Progressive Metal

BE, I feel, is Daniel Gildenlow's brainchild. It is a concept about the creation of the universe and the rise and fall of humanity. Be was written and composed almost entirely by Daniel Gildenlow himself. The album, prior to its recording, was performed in its entirety live as a stage production in several locations, complete with costumes, a small reservior in the middle of the stage, and a 9-piece orchestra called the Orchestra of Eternity. This is the Live video from one of those performances.

Queensryche

Beware of night for we all know he's loose again
Behind him lies the eyes of mercy and despair
Forever living out his nightmare comes to life
From Hell this spell will find it's way to you... tonight!

Queensryche are the founders and pioneers of the Progressive Metal genre. Formed originally as The Mob in 1981, the group changed the band name to Queensryche, named after their song Queen of the Reich from their debut EP. Goeff Tate's piercing high vocals are some of the best around, and the guitarwork is absolutely fantastic, with guitarists Michael Wilton and Chris DeGarmo busting out incredible solos and riffs that grab your attention. The group has survived throughout the ages with hardly a scratch on them, maintaining the original line-up through most of their discography (founder Chris DeGarmo left the band shortly after their Hear in the Now Frontier album.) Queensryche still rocks out today, and with the release Operation Mindcrime II, the group is seeing a lot of publicity thanks to the answers supplied by the album to the questions left unanswered by Operation Mindcrime. The band has a cover album, Take Cover, set for release November 13th, 2007.

Noekk - The Water Sprite

You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied:
They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried.

Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite, The Divine Wings of Tragedy, The Odyssey and Paradise Lost

Here we are, children of Sun and Star
The first to know and to understand...

Artist: Symphony X

Symphony X is a Progressive Metal group, founded in 1994 in New Jersey (of all places...) by guitarist Michael Romeo. The group has enjoyed a very successful career and following as one of the best Progressive Metal groups around. Michael Romeo's guitar playing is highly technical, enough to impress any Petrucci fan, and Sir Russell Allen's vocals are second to none. The group has about 8 albums (including their live album, Live on the Edge of Forever,) and is a must-listen for any metal fan. Can't wait to see these guys in concert! Here are some of their best albums.

Devin Townsend - Terria

Devin Townsend is the lead singer and guitarist for Strapping Young Lad. While SYL is Townsend's heavy, angry side, his solo work portrays a much more soft, thoughtful side, showcasing some of the best progressive metal around. Townsend's vocal abilities have been showcased by many, including Steve Vai. This is his fourth (and, in my opinion, best) solo album, Terria. Notable tracks include Earth Day, Canada, and Tiny Tears.

Angra - Angels Cry

Angra is a Progressive Power Metal group from Brazil. The band is lead by lead singer and composer Andre Matos. The group combines superb guitar/bass/keyboard solos with incredible prog-filled riffs, while Andre Matos's high-flying voice powers on at the peaks of Power Metal vocal ranges. Angels Cry is the band's first release, and was recorded at the home studio of Gamma Ray guitarist Kai Hansen.

Akashic

Akashic is a very good Progressive Metal band from (I think) Brazil. Or maybe Portugal. Whatever. The band has two albums out so far. I don't have much info on them, but trust me - they're good. Fans of Symphony X and Dream Theater will appreciate these guys. Featuring fantasic, magnetic vocals and beautiful instrumentality, this band serves up the prog well done. Formed in 1998, the band brings technical wit and puts it right there for you to ponder about.

If anyone can help me find Timeless Realm, I'd buttsecks you for free forever.
