Linkin Park. That's the only band I could think of. Hybrid Theory is a masterpiece.

I'll also echo the nominations for Transatlantic and Frost*, but I like Riverside a lot. I bought ADHD earlier this year and then promptly bought the previous three albums, all great stuff!

I'd also have to go with Mastodon and Muse, two very mainstream bands with a prog-edge, and both top-selling bands in US and EU, almost making it okay to call bands "progressive" again (albeit on two different ends of a prog-spectrum).

My favorites to come out the last decade:

Coheed and Cambria
dredg (Leitmotif was re-released in '01 so it counts, right? :P )
Avenged Sevenfold
The Mars Volta
Riverside
Linkin Park

This is so going to get raped, but I like that; so grab a hot pocket, why don't'cha? They fill you up on and you can eat 'em on the run. They're also fucking delicious.

Metazoa is a freaking masterpiece. Here's some vids for you guys:

Scavengers Feast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jakGblCnf0E

Uneasy Lies the Head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obik_DA9Edc&feature=related (VIKING CHANTS! VIKING CHANTS!)

Blood on the Cornfields: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V49fS1OMJXQ&feature=related

Hanging Gardens Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OZM0zs7p6o&feature=related (Epic guitar solo, is epic)

Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baNYY2LSc9o&feature=related

The Emigrant's Wake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxDGIzkTNCk&feature=related (Listen to the sheer insanity of the solo at the end. Just do it)

Sky Burial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60SPX0Zth6E&feature=related (Epic spoken word section is epic)


Missed a few of the songs on the album, but whatever. The thing is a freaking 10/10 masterpiece, and its their debut. I can't wait to see what they do with future releases. And if you're a stickler for lyrics, they are in the videos and actually pretty good imo

Sonata Arctica and Agalloch.  Both bands had mid-late 1999 debut albums, so I'll consider them the past decade.

Also OSI, Riverside, Mastodon, Baroness, Frost* and Transatlantic

well if it counts, than the following artists would qualify as well:
Owsley, Unexpect, Mullmuzzler, Muse, Necrophagist and 3.  

it originally was released in 1999, not 2001.

The best voice in rock n roll and one of the best guitarists/songwriters out there today, Alter Bridge is a monster of a band with soaring vocals, great musicianship, and collectively great heavy riffs.

That reads like what you'd see on a sticker placed on a CD cover. :lol

uh, what's your source? Wikipedia?

Leitmotif was released independently by dredg in 1999, and was re-released by Interscope Records on September 11th, 2001, with different artwork.

well, I'd venture if I asked the folks on Traversing what year Leitmotif was released, they'd say 1999, given pretty much every web source lists that as the release year.

Why would Traversing or dredgonline have it wrong?

It took me a good while to get into it. Some very obscure songs, to be sure; but once it clicked, I found something quirky yet catchy and very original. For a while all I listened to was "Spaceman"  :laugh:

I definitely agree with the BTBAM nominations, as well.

Nemo and Moon Safari.  Would have included The Pineapple Thief (except for fact that their debut was 1999); Satellite (except they're basically continuation of Collage, which originated in the 1990s) and Neal Morse (oops, never mind -- not only did Spock's Beard originate in the 1990s -- even his solo debut was 1999).

A lot of these band should obviously count. Just because they had an album released before 2000 doesn't mean they "emerged" then. So, yes Coheed and Cambria and dredg both count.

When I say "emerge", the band has to have released their debut album between 2000 and 2010.

My choice is easy peasy:  Riverside

What can I say?  Ambient, heavy, epic, proggy and full of nuance.  I think I even like these guys better than Porcupine Tree.

Well, but I think you can have some exceptions here. A few months doesn't make a big difference, and it still means >95% of the band's career was 2000-2010.

Yeah, saying that Muse don't count is a bit like calling someone born on September 17th 1989 an eighties child. Sure, it's technically true, but all they really got out of the eighties was a few weeks of dribbling titmilk down their mother's front, and a lot of long naps. Maybe a week of chicken pox, if they were really unlucky, but they wouldn't've had a clue who the Human League were, and they probably couldn't give a rat's arse about the Cold War. The difference is more or less negligible.
