Over the past couple of years or so, I've seen a huge influx of heavy metal bands entering the progressive genre.. Personally I don't agree with this.
For a start, they should have the title or label Heavy Metal not just just heavy. Bands such as Riverside are classed as heavy but in fact are not so. I find this so confusing, specially when you are looking at bands you may ignore, but in fact some of the labeled bands can in fact be very enjoyable to the ear.
I hate heavy metal to a passion and just wish Prog Archives and DPRP would specify more clearly or add another genre to their title.
