Talk:List of progressive metal artists/Archive 1

Edit request from Johnnymango, 22 July 2010
Katatonia should be included in the progressive metal genre. Mikael Åkerfeld from Opeth and Jonas Renksefrom of Katatonia are long time friends. Article found @ has a quote from Mikael on the Katatonia album Night is The New Day " And it truly is a masterpiece! I have not been this taken back by an album for a long time. I almost had tears in my eyes. It's an absolutely stunning piece of music! Easily their most progressive and emotional record as far as I'm concerned."

 * If you've got a source specifically calling Katatonia "progressive metal", then you can add them. Regarding this particular source you've got: even if Mikael Akerfeldt called Katatonia progressive metal (which isn't the specific case; he says they're "progressive", not "progressive metal"), I don't think it would pass as a reliable citation. --LordNecronus (talk) 17:08, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from Moonwaltz, 24 November 2010
Please, you could add: Solvo Animus and Errant Society. Both bands are from Puerto Rico.

Thanks.

Not done for now: Unless those bands have their own Wikipage, they should not be on this list. Generally speaking, lists like this require that every entry meet Wikipedia's notability standards; otherwise, every "band" in the world that wanted to be listed would be added. If either of those bands get their own wikipage, and they are demonstrated to be notable, then they could be added to this list. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:17, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Wintersun

If Wintersun is listed as progressive then so should Ensiferum and Norther. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.141.247.228 (talk) 13:28, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Third Eye
Please add the Danish prog metal band Third Eye to the list. www.thirdeye.dk Brumdron (talk) 12:44, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Remove Tool
The band Tool is mentioned in this article as a progressive metal band. I believe this should be removed. Tool is not a progressive metal band. They are an alternative rock/nu-metal band. They do use some progressive structures but they are not a metal band and do not have enough progressive influence to be considered prog. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.101.104.172 (talk) 00:28, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is based on reliable sources, Tool are sourced as progressive metal, you get the idea. Aside from the source issue, it strikes me as utterly bizarre to think that Tool are more nu-metal than progressive rock. --LordNecronus (talk) 12:14, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Not done: Bands on this list need to have their own wikipage. If the band isn't notable enough for a wikipage, they can't be listed here. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:32, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from ViRuS777, 4 May 2011
Add Bigelf because this is a important progressive metal band.

ViRuS777 (talk) 20:29, 4 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Done. It would have been easier if you had provided a reliable source, but I managed to find one.--3family6 (talk) 21:27, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from 82.18.24.248, 10 May 2011
Id Like to add the band brave the moment which is an english tech prog metal band

and here is the source to prove it

http://www.facebook.com/bravethemoment?ref=ts     all relevant information is o this page

82.18.24.248 (talk) 12:01, 10 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I would add the band, but there are two problems. 1) the band has no Wikipedia article, and generally, the consensus is bands have to have articles. And 2) it is going to be hard to write an article on the band, because the only mention in a third party reliable source is this event notice, which establishes the band as prog metal but not much else. If you can find more, maybe someone will write the article.--3family6 (talk) 12:17, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I 2nd that, was just gonna type it. Also note WP:BAND for standards of including bands on Wikipedia. C T J F 8 3  12:25, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Vaish1331, 23 May 2011
please add an Indian new wave progressive metal band 'acrimony' to the 'list of progressive metal artists'. It would be an honor. please refer these links. 1. http://www.facebook.com/acrimonyindia 2. http://www.reverbnation.com/acrimonyindia?kick=406119

 * ❌ Is the band notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia? If so, are you willing to write an article on it? Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 11:49, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

of course!! i am ready to write an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaish1331 (talk • contribs) 13:44, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Great! Just remember that articles for active bands are biographies of living persons, and make sure that the sources pass WP:RS. Good luck and let me know if you need help!--3family6 (talk) 20:36, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Simonwood44, 28 July 2011
Please insert 'Kettlespider' (Australia) into the list of bands that perform the Progressive Metal genre, due to the lack of up and coming Australian Progressive Metal bands featured on the list. (Simonwood44 (talk) 23:51, 28 July 2011 (UTC))

Simonwood44 (talk) 23:51, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Bands are generally included when they're considered important enough to have an article on&mdash;see WP:BAND. Geographic uniformity isn't a priority. It doesn't really look like Kettlespider meets the notability guidelines, at least not yet. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 21:36, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Remove please
Please remove Porcupine Tree from the start of the article. Only after the 90's would they even be considered progressive metal by any means. They just don't belong there. --108.14.108.18 (talk) 02:20, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Muse
Come on Some of their songs are prog metal

Add Muse
You should add Muse, as there early work was definitely progressive metal. 108.71.125.221 (talk) 18:44, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Half these bands are not progressive metal
When did bands such as System of a Down, Trail of Tears, and Alter Bridge become prog metal? --Epica124 (talk) 16:24, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from, 9 November 2011
Please put protest the Hero back on the list of progressive metal bands. They are progressive metal, and I do not understand why they would be removed from the list in the first place. If you look on any website talking about them or reviewing them, they are always listed as progressive metal.

 * Yes check.svg Done --Jnorton7558 (talk) 00:27, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Protest the hero was removed in this edit b/c it was not referenced.Curb Chain (talk) 04:23, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from, 14 November 2011
I would really like to know why protest the Hero has been removed again. I submitted a request and gave three reliable sources to prove it. The where put on the list for a brief period of time and then suddenly removed again. HOW ARE THEY NOT PROG METAL!? Whoever removed them please put them back up and/or email me the reason why they are not on the list. if you do not like them, that's fine, but they are still progressive metal. My eamil is ian.carlson@hotmail.com. I am really looking forward to your response on this matter.

 * Here is your reason, unreliable sources. Provide reliable sources and request the edit again, alternatively you can contact User:3family6 and discuss it with him/her. C T J F 8 3  00:12, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from, 18 November 2011
My sources are valid! You should know that they are progressive metal. If you look at any review, forum, magazine they are featured on or anywhere else they are labeled as prog metal.

174.115.182.244 (talk) 03:09, 18 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Check sources such as Allmusic, About.com, Google Books, Rolling Stone Magazine, The New York Times, AllExperts.com (be careful with this one!), Stylus Magazine, Blabbermouth.net News, and other sources like those. Or check print magazines, newspapers, or books.-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 12:13, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Protest the Hero.     If hope this is good enough.

174.115.182.244 (talk) 22:54, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, that should do it. Revolver has the most explicit mention of progressive metal, so I'll use that one.-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 01:04, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
