I (as most of you know) love prog metal, and although I think I've gotten a pretty damn big basis of prog metal, I want something new to listen to. Preferably obscure (so that I've never heard of them and will be surprised) and not necessarily a copy cat band (unless they're amazing at copying). I especially would like something more inventive, like Riverside (but Riverside's style, just how they expanded on the idea of prog metal. Do any of you have a new band for me?

While it may not be "new" to you Appearance of Nothing's newest album, All Gods Are Gone, is absolutely superb and worth checking out.

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. |

^ I have Shaolin Death Squad's latest album, but haven't listened to it extensively. I'll be sure to give it another play.
And also I'll check out Empty Tremor, thanks!

Oooh, I almost forgot this one:
http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/last-things-the--circles-and-butterflies.aspx This is a forgotten masterpiece from 1993... one of my favorite prog metal albums all-time! Sounds like Marillion meets Dream Theater meets thrash metal. |

Sonic Pulsar may appeal to you. Probably the most obscure band I'm aware of right now.
Not the heaviest of prog metal around, much of it could even be considered leaning towards ambient, but the first album, Playing the Universe is an absolute gem.

Alcest is great, you introduced me to Amogh Symphony over at PM Discussion, and Neurosis is also great. Guess I'll check out Baroness now!
