Instrumental progressive metal

  • Blotted Science - "The Machinations of Dementia"

    Extreme complexity, particularly the drum parts.

  • Canvas Solaris - "The Atomized Dream"

  • Gordian Knot - "Gordian Knot"

  • Spastic Ink - "Ink Complete"

    More from Ron Jarzombek of Blotted Science, with his incredible brother Bobby on drums

  • Amogh Symphony - "The Quantum Hack Code"

Partly instrumental progressive metal

It's worth getting over any dislike of death metal vocals for these, which have a mix of clean and gruff vocals and lots of instrumental parts.

  • Between the Buried and Me - "Colors"

  • Textures - "Silhouettes"

Instrumental prog & fusion

  • Polytown - "Polytown"

    The best record I own. Terry Bozzio, Mick Karn and David Torn.

  • Mats/Morgan Band - "Live"

    Crazy scandinavians.

  • Animals as Leaders - "Weightless"

  • On The Virg (OTV) - "Serious Young Insects"

    Virgil Donati's band; very heavy in parts.

  • Planet X - "Moonbabies"

  • Bozzio, Levin, Stevens - "Black Light Syndrome"

Vocal prog

  • Porcupine Tree - "Fear of a Blank Planet"
  • Dream Theater - "Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes from a Memory"
  • Spock's Beard - "Snow"
  • Rush - "Vapor Trails Remixed"
  • Genesis - "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"
  • Pain of Salvation - "Scarsick"

Other heavy fusion
