The Power/Melo-death/Tech/Prog/Shred Metal Listening Thread

[Ben...]

Following Ralph's 80's thread. This is a thread created for specific genres of music (those listed in the title).

Please only post bands that fit into those genres. I will eventually create a thread for Death/Black/Thrash/Doom/Blackened Death/Funeral Doom/ other combinations of those words/ etc. so don't post those here.

I'll be bringing some stuff from my original thread so don't be shocked if you see names here that were from there
