2.Austrian Death Machine - Total Brutal

3.Clutch - Pure Rock Fury

4.Devin Townsend - Addicted

3.MyGrain - MyGrain

4.Constantine - Divine Design

1.1349 - Revelations Of The Black Flame

2.Black Sabbath - Never Say Die

3.Black Sabbath - Born Again

Recently, instead of scouring too much the albums of the year I'm in, I decided to take a deeper journey and appreciate progressive music (prog metal/rock). While I'm still in the early beginnings of my journey, I decided to make a list to the albums I fully listen to so that I can keep charting my voyage in these vast seas. Some albums are not yet added because I need to listen them well and grab my favorites out, and some bands are on queue. I'm also eager to hear some recommendations, so thanks in advance for them!

1.Ayreon - The Human Equation

2.Barren Earth - The Devil's Resolve

3.Blotted Science - The Machinations Of Dementia

4.Control Denied - The Fragile Art Of Existence
