  • Band: Angra
  • Albums: Holy Land, Angels Cry, Fredom Call
  • Band: Tool
  • Albums: Aenima, Lateralus, 10000 days, (Undertow)

I know these bands play heavy stuff (specially Tool) and that even some people don´t consider them to be prog. I also know heavy music is also more difficult to schedule, because not everyone likes to wake up or go to bed along with some heavy tunes, but one thing i love from the station is the variety and these bands would contribute to that

Greetings and thanks for all the great music!

Hi edca,

Very timely since I just went to a Symphony X show, but could only stay for the four bands prior (the venue schedules poorly).

I agree that Fates Warning, Tool, and most Iron Maiden is totally progressive. The only difference is the heaviness. Only.

But I don't think you will see any of it on the Moon. Sometimes I will play them on my show (in the past year I spun Lateralus and 10,000 Days) but there's just not the majority needed to make it a part of the Moon playlist.

There are many other progressive internet staions that play that music. The tradeoff is though, their library is far inferior.

I don't think the floodgates will be open soon, but as that subgenre continues to develop, maybe sometime.
