I don't care if it's modern or old.

the only prog I know is like, dream theater? Is Opeth prog rock

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think both are prog metal? Opeth was more metal in their earlier albums but I will agree they have gone softer recently. Dream Theatre as well, prog metal. Don't see any difference tho, I'd say anyone who enjoys prog rock will enjoy prog metal even more, I highly recommend Blackwater Park for Opeth, Metropolis (Part 2), Images and Words, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (all 3 by Dream Theatre). I find it really interesting how most of prog albums are concept albums, so its really enjoying to listen to them from the start.

Blackwater Park has been an album I have gone back to at least once a year since it came out. November comes around and my brain says "hey, go listen to Dirge for November."
