wikipedia got the first one right, but you likely havent heard any truly progressive bands if you think they should be labelled, first and foremost, as prog. metal.

btbam being death metal is utter bullshit

You have to think outside the box.

You can't have just a couple specific bands that define one genre.....

you have to accept new bands. with that said, BTBAM aren't new at all.


From a list I found for prog metal

1. Dream Theater
2. Queensryche
3. Fates Warning
4. King's X
5. Tool
6. King Diamond
7. Symphony X
8. Crimson Glory
9. Opeth
10. Liquid Tension Experiment
11. Planet X
12. Atheist
13. Royal Hunt
14. Between the Buried and Me


out of 50.

All of you shut the fuck up and stop arguing about opinions.

Then make the haters stay out.

I've always considered BTBAM a mix of metalcore with mathcore..

They're definitely metalcore... there's some progressive aspects as well though.

Don't see why it matters though.
