WHEN OPERA MEETS METAL ROCK

Hi guys, how are you? Francesco C. here! Do you remember my last post? I told you about my favourite kind of music and today I’d like to follow up and talk about one of my favourite albums, “Metropolis Pt.2: Scenes from a memory” by Dream Theater.

WHY I LIKE PROG METAL MORE THAN OTHER KINDS OF MUSIC

Hi everyone, my name’s Francesco C. and I’m fond of prog metal. So I’d like to tell you the reasons why I like this kind of music  and why you should start listening to it.

  

Prog metal and prog metal famous bands

  

 Prog metal (short for progressive metal ) is a metal subgenre  born at the end of the ‘80s. This genre  includes songs and albums very different from other subgenres of metal rock. Bands which can’t be classified in any other subgenre of metal are progressive bands, but anyway they have some similar features:

- The extreme complexity of the songs,  which makes the members of those groups being very good. They’ve been studying their musical instrument for a long of time

- Songs generally can last from 4 minutes to more than 30 minutes, which is more than the average.

- Prog is influenced by lots of other kinds of music, such as jazz, classical and other subgenres of metal.    Songs are usually in odd-time signature
