Post Reply - I want something new....

If you're referring just to traditional prog metal (which I think you are), then there's a couple unique masterpieces I can think of off the top of my head. If you haven't heard anything by Shaolin Death Squad, I'd recommend doing so A.S.A.P. They sound like a mix of Pain of Salvation, Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, and Dream Theater. Basically a wacky, funky version of prog metal. I love these guys to death!

I also second Brian's suggestion of Appearance of Nothing - their first album isn't as awesome as their second, but both are worth checking out.

Empty Tremor is another great band (they're from Italy). Iridium is their best album, and a prog metal masterpiece IMO. One of the best albums I heard all last year. I have tons of other suggestions, but these are three that are all outstanding and you probably aren't very familiar with either.
