I love Prog Metal like Dream Theater,Symphony X,Ayreon,Pagens Mind,Stratavarious and Vaden Plas but I feel these bands owe a debt to Rush of course but also King Diamond.King who just recovered from heart surgery has one of the best vocal ranges in all music.Not only is he a great singer but his songwriting is second to none.Just listen to the diobalical classics Them and Conspericy.I know a lot of people dislike him due to the Satanism but to me that just adds to the creepyness and isnt that what metal is really ment to be.What makes King Progressive is the great bant behind him and his concepts.

The closest I've heard to contemporary rock that is really good is High on Fire. They definitelly have a metal leaning... but the songs are done in a traditional manner and they're all about the hook.
And, yes, James D Hill, King Diamond is amazing. Truly great vocalist, and a great performer.

The stoner metal tag I`d say was correct given Matt Pike`s links with Sleep and being from California stoner metal is probably in their veins. The early material is very stoner metal. I`d also say they have a Melvins sludge metal element as well. |

I don't have their first album so maybe that's where all the stoner sounding stuff is, but certainly don't find the second album to be particularly stoner sounding. |
