Prog Rock.....Porcupine Tree?

Here is a stretch Zig, try Opeth. They are a band out of Sweden and have a sort of mutual admiration with Steven Wilson. You can even see each other's influences crossing into the other's music. But beware, they are a death metal band with cookie-monster vocals which they alternate with clean. The music is amazing and you will get somewhat used to the growling. If you want to start off lightly with them, get their Damnation CD which has no growling and soft jazz-like music. If you want to dive in get Ghost Reveries which is amazing. Their DVD Lamentations is also a good start since it has both styles and you can see what lovable guys they are.

Fear of a Blank Planet is different than their early offerings. If you like this offering then pick up Deadwing too because this is where the band turned in that direction of shorter songs with more hard rock influences. They have a best of the Early years and the remaster is great. Check it out,it is more Floydian than their current stuff.

In Absentia is great, I believe the drummer Gavin Harrison was new for that Lp. I know Mike Portnoy from Dream Theather who toured with porcupine tree and we both agreed the guy kicks ass!

Thanks for heads up Qdrone!

Try Djam Karet/The devouring.
