I wouldn't say that I limit myself exclusively to those types. Yeah, there's a lot of crap in both the metal and the electronic realm, but they appeal to and resonate with me more so than other genres because they are not (or at least, no longer are) constrained by stylistic boundaries, and...

Personally, I've long since stopped concerning myself with where a given artist lies in terms of cultural prominence.   I primarily listen to metal and electronic music (I like and appreciate other things, but none really get as much playtime with me). Both are extremely nebulous blanket...

As far as progressive rock goes, I think the most interesting thing I've heard lately has been Vehicle from a band called miRthkon. This is basically a modern day incarnation of Frank Zappa playing in unison with Mr. Bungle, with more or less everything else but the kitchen sink thrown in at one...

Good thread, thanks. Unfortunately I don't have anything to add.

Dirk Verbeuren - most notably of Scarve and Soilwork - would probably get my vote. Check out Scarve's Irradiant album for a pretty solid showcase.
