What are the premeire progressive metal news websites?
« on: October 30, 2013, 09:50:43 AM »
Hey, everyone.  I was wondering if there is a website, or websites, that are considered THE place to go for progressive metal news, updates, concert listings, etc.  Typically, I go to Blabbermouth for my music news, but I'm mostly passionate about progressive metal and I don't really care about all the other bands mentioned on Blabbermouth.  What is the best website(s) strictly geared to progressive metal and the up-and-coming bands in the genre?  I don't have time to search around for different websites, so I figured I'd just ask.

If you are on twitter, that has to be an account or two for up-to-date prog metal news, I would think.

This and DTF are the only two sites I visit daily.
It encompasses all metal.

I get just about all my news regarding progressive metal, and music and general, from DTF. Obviously it's not always the first on a particular story, and I guess if you're looking for news on bands that aren't so popular here you'll have to go elsewhere, but that's never really been a problem for me.

A lot of the prog news sites and band sites have Facebook pages that are always updated.  What I did was create a list on Facebook for my prog sites and I just check that daily.

Sounds like a good idea, actually  :)

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.  I appreciate it.  I guess my objective was to find a place that is like a blabbermouth for strictly progressive metal.  Progrockmag.com does that (and their magazine actually helped me discover Tesseract a few months ago), but I feel like their website is not updated as frequently with news as I'd like.  When I search on google for progressive metal news, these are the top results:

1) Prog Metal Zone (https://www.progmetalzone.com)
2) Perfect Prog (https://www.perfectprog.com/web/)
3) ProgMetal: Reddit Progressive Metal Community (https://www.reddit.com/r/progmetal/)
4) Sea of Tranquility (https://www.seaoftranquility.org/)
5) Progressive Rock & Metal E-zine (https://progressiverockbr.com/)

Is anyone a frequent visitor of these sites and feel like they are good sources of news?  I want to be introduced to new bands and new albums.  I can click through the general music threads on DTF to find new prog bands, but I figure there has to be a one-stop website for this type of stuff.

This website is the best there is.

https://www.progarchives.com/

That is my favorite prog site to check out.  They don't have the updates that you might be looking for, but they have a decent amount of links to check out.
