The categorizing of tech/extreme prog metal bands.

I propose that when categorizing these bands, we drop the prog, and place them based on their particular brand of extreme metal. This will avoid flooding Prog Metal with a vast number of bands that sound nothing alike, and will allow us to NOT have to make an extra category for these bands, when many of them, again, sound quite different from one another.

The "Progressive Metal" category should be left for bands such as Dream Theater, Queensryche, Fates Warning, Pain Of Salvation, ect.

I told Dave (birdwithteeth11) and Alex (MovingPictures07) this privately and they both agree, I'm interested to see what the rest of you think about this.

(Maybe we were all already on this page, I dunno. Just thought I'd put it out there.)

I think that�s the best way to do it too

I agree, but am still unsure what category Between The Buried In Me would fall under. 
Aren't they prog-metal now?

BtBAM would still fit in metalcore for me.

Interesting , but for now, I would prefer using a simple organization scheme and use theses style variations in the bio or the artists or in the album field "More about this album" .
