Voted "Other" since Pestilence wasn't mentioned on there. Glad someone brought them up.

Last.fm has been recommending them to me for a few months now. I should probably check them out eventually.

Certainly "The Gathering" which created a trend from "Mandilyon." The other bands mentioned, I know of, "After Forever" is also very good, although it has released only five studio albums. "Epica" and "WT" lost a little, "Ayreon" never heard.

Ayreon for me. Pestilence would probably be a close second, but Spheres is their only true masterpiece IMO.

I only like The Gathering and Ayreon out of these artists
Voted for The Gathering.

Other - Pestilence, but that's probably not a big surprise.

The Gathering overall despite a few patchy albums but the same could apply to Ayreon who would be my 2nd choice.

Pestilence for me but up to Testimony of the Ancients. Not trying to be antagonistic or anything but Spheres is the moment they lost me. Two good songs (Mind Reflections and Spheres) and the rest are an amateur's attempt to fuse death metal and jazz/fusion without really having the skills to do so. Great drumming though. 

It's then Ayreon, Asphyx and then The Gathering.

Epica is the only one I like out of these.

Within Temptation for me.

Yeah, I know they aren't really all that heavy, but I really like them for whatever reason.

'Enter' sounds like a demo, maybe a decent-sounding, Goth-y demo. I don't like 'Mother Earth' (which seems to be the fan favorite, go figure). 'The Silent Force' is very good though it should have been heavier, with the guitars more in the forefront. 'The Heart Of Everything' is a great album, 'The Unforgiving' is maybe my album of the year for 2011, and 'Hydra' is maybe my album of the year for 2014.

I've seen them 3 times in concert, and they've put on killer shows all 3 times.


Netherlands bands I have albums from:

After Forever (all their albums)
Ayreon (3 albums)
Delain (all albums)
Epica (all albums)
The Gathering (2 albums, nice voice, meh music)
Kingfisher Sky (1 album, nice voice, meh music)
Lemur Voice (debut album, great band)
Nemesea (3 albums, all very different)
Revamp (Floor Jansen's band)
Stream Of Passion (all albums)
Sun Caged (2 albums, pretty good shreddy prog-metal)
Vandenberg (2 albums on vinyl, remember those guys?)
Within Temptation (all albums/dvds)


As you can see, most of it is female-fronted symphonic metal. No extreme/death/black metal, genres I'm just not into unless the band is pretty progressive as well.

I just thought of one I've got on my computer:

George Baker!LOL

I ripped a couple of CDs for my missus and they ended up in my playlist.

That's the one. Also Little Green Bag, which was used here in a Heineken ad.
