Your ears are in for a treat I've been wondering this for a while... in your sig, it says you listen to what seems like entire albums continuously in last.fm..... how do you do that? Even when I go into an artist's radio, it takes dozens of skips to get one track BY that artist.

download a scrobbler and listen to music in a media player on your computer

oooooh.

If you like Gordian Knot, you may like OSI and Chroma Key (from DT alumn "Kevin Moore")
and Cynic members in Exivious, Portal and Aghora .

You were also mentioning "Riverside", here are some bands of that ilk (and tinges of Opeth
and Porky Tree):
1. Karnivool
2. Cloverseeds
3. Votum
4. Ephrat
5. Orphaned Land (could be part of list below too)
6. Cea Serin
And more in the Opeth Vein, slightly...:
7. The Ocean
8. Oblique Rain
9. Winds
10. Leprous
11. Enochian Theory
12. My Dying Bride
13. Katatonia
14. While Heaven Wept
15. Paradise Lost

I also hope you know about bands like Haken, Black Bonzo, Presto Ballet/Vanderhoof, Big Elf,
Anti-Depressive Delivery (ADD) ?
Kind of have that Retro-Prog thing going-with some heavier overtones like Deep Purple and Uriah Heep.
Are you open to "all kinds of" Prog Metal, like the complicated stuff ("Math Metal")?
And there is also the Post-Prog/Avant Garde Metal too .

Glad you like PrOgulus! Do you come onto the Chat Board? (my aka is "MAVIII").

Hey Andy,

How is your "searching for new/obscure" going?  What have you liked, discovered and/or anything else?
 . . . just a' curious

Hey guys! I'd like to recommend some brand new metal! It's actually my own Band's music if you guys don't mind. It's a fat mix of 8-string proggyness rounded up with aggressive synthesizers! Here's a link to our website:

If you have any releases - even a demo or a single, or a release on the way - you should post a note in the suggest-new-bands section (if you haven't already done so, of course).

Preferably obscure (so that I've never heard of them and will be surprised) and not necessarily a copy cat band (unless they're amazing at copying). I especially would like something more inventive, like Riverside (but Riverside's style, just how they expanded on the idea of prog metal. Do any of you have a new band for me?

Do you promise that you will really listen to what I will recommend?

So...

Aetherius: http://aetheriusmusic.bandcamp.com/album/all-that-i-need-to-survive

Random Mullet: http://randommullet.com/

Both bands are on MMA (and PA).
