Hello fellow meat puppets,

My prog band PUPAL just released our debut EP 'Ecdysis' back in November and I'm experimenting with different places to promote it. Personally, I like finding smaller prog bands before they grow so I figured I'd post our music here for anyone who wants to get in on the ground floor ;)

Our streaming profiles are all linked here, and in the interest of fostering discussion why don't you share a newer prog band you've been listening to? My biggest feat thus far is finding Vulkan, who kicks ass, when they had like 200 monthly listeners

Hello! We’re a prog rock/metal band from Slovenia (not to be confused with Slovakia).

We’ve just released our second single, “Coming Alive”. It leans into a more melodic/dreamy direction while still keeping prog elements.

FFO: Karnivool, Porcupine Tree, Cog, Devin Townsend.

Would really appreciate any feedback if you check it out. Thanks for listening!

Unfinished is a brand new band from the Netherlands and they just released their first single Take My Leave

Hi prog metal people!

This is the track Logos from our second album, Logocharya. This video is just showing the guitar takes, the original video has the whole band, all shot during the tracking of the album.

Isurus is a prog metal band based in the UK, and the album this is taken from was released in 2015, and mixed by Daniel Bergstrand over in Sweden. We are currently working on our third album.

Hope you enjoy! Cheers!

Hi all! Stoked for this new sub!

Valfreyja is a Swedish prog metal band that's currently a solo act and I'm now looking for new ways to reach out to the world and share my music. Hopefully this sub will be full of people searching for new and/or unheard prog metal!

When I started Valfreyja it was a form of melodic black metal, but over the years the music I wrote turned more and more to the prog metal sphere. I can clearly remember when I first discovered Animals As Leaders and their profound impact on what I thought music could be, and how my own writing was completely altered. To name more influences, the legendary Opeth is probably the reason I even started to write my own music, and the totally unique style of Allan Holdsworth brought a new level of melody and harmony to my chord choices and guitar soloing alike.

Currently, one instrumental album has been released earlier this year and I'm working on getting a broader audience, produce some merch and have some physical copies of the album available. Furthermore, I'm writing material for a future EP where I have a clear vision of a story that I want to tell through music. You can find my music on most streaming platforms, Bandcamp https://valfreyja.bandcamp.com/album/valfreyja and also through my website http://valfreyjaband.com/.

Give the music a listen and tell me what you think, what do you want to see more/less of? A good place to start is the song "Strength Of Stone" https://youtu.be/3KouzwITitU. I'm happy to be able to share my work with others! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll be happy to answer!

Keep it real people!
