Being 37 years old and a huge fan of Prog Metal I can honestly say MetalStorm has been the best internet find I've ever made; I would have never discovered bands like Riverside, Agalloch, Disillusion, Dark Suns, Oceans of Sadness and Enochian Theory without MetalStorm's content and its members! So I ask you all, jot down some must-hear prog-metal and the like.
I don't visit this thread a lot, but I found a pleasant prog album and I thought I might recommend it although it's more of a prog rock album rather than a metal one Ordinary Brainwash - Me 2.0
Sadly they have no Myspace no Bandcamp and no official website (at least google gave me no results)

"AFFECTOR is a multi-national progressive rock/metal project founded by German guitarist Daniel FRIES (ex-DIVINITY) and Dutch drummer Collin LEIJENAAR (NEAL MORSE, DILEMMA). When they started working on the debut CD ''Harmagedon'', US-based bass player Mike LEPOND (SYMPHONY X, SEVEN WITCHES etc.) and vocalist Ted LEONARD (SPOCK'S BEARD, ENCHANT, THOUGHT CHAMBER) joined them. ''Harmagedon'' was released in May 2012 through Inside Out Music and features four guest keyboardists - Alex ARGENTO, Neal MORSE (TRANSATLANTIC/FLYING COLORS), Jordan RUDESS (DREAM THEATER), Derek SHERINIAN (PLANET X/BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION)- but also the Polish orchestra 'Sinfonietta Consonus'."
This album is great!

Ahh cool. If you want any suggestions let me know. I am sure you know all about the popular stuff but I may have an off the wall rec for you.
Sure, I don't want the pure Prog stuff, I'm searching for Prog+*insert genre* kind of bands. I'll PM you once I finish with the handful of albums I still want to listen to
