Someone know a good progressive metal band?

[Digamma]

Progressive metal, like Rush but metal. So some screaming, but also powerful drum tracks and grooving bass lines. So yeah anything that sounds cool.

As hard as I try to look, this has to be the hardest music genre to find amazing bands. I'm getting tired of listening to the same albums over and over again. Any help'd be greatly appreciated!

BTBAM is in fact my currently favorite band
Dream Theater's a little too electronic for my taste though

For Angra, I only have Freedom Call, and that's cause it had a cover of Painkiller and that was my favorite song for a while. I'm going to look into their stuff some more though. Tool? They're just epic. Mastodon I took a look at, I'm starting to like it alot. Gojira sounds like progressive death metal, sounds interesting I'll check 'em out. Porcupine Tree's borderline progressive rock/metal. High Tides- I haven't really heard anything kind of like this. But as for Strapping Young Lad- this is exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks!

Angels Cry and Holy Land are basically their essential output

I can identify progressive metal usually when the singer sounds a little different, the bass lines are amazing, and the drums are playing complex beats (note, this is not always true).
So its like the most unique sense of metal there is with strange instrument orientation and/or strange time signatures (I've seen 4.5/4 in a Dream Theater song).
If you take a look at any of these bands you'll know what I mean.
