I've been searching for new music to listen to for a while, and I was wondering if anyone has any input. I'm looking for a "mid-range" heavy act similar to Tool or Porcupine Tree. Oh, and I also like prog.

But please, nothing mainstream. Its not that I'm snoody, I just already have my mainstream tastes figured out.
 
Try The End's new album "Elementary"...sounRAB like just a more metal version of Tool, no real screamed vocals or anything he just yells a lot
 
trivium has become to sound like metallica.
i was listening to em one day a while back and i ask him to guess who this is and he said metallica and its like...wow.
they have good sound, but they're just not original.
 
Many people compare Riverside to Porcupine Tree but I don't think they're that similar. Either way, both banRAB kick arse. Get Second Life Syndrome.

As for Tool, King Crimson is the obvious link there. You've probably heard them though. If you haven't, In the Court of the Crimson King is the best album to start with, however, I think Red is the best and the most Tool-like.
 
O I know they've changed into pure Metallica copycats and are reaping in the dough because of that...I prefer there metalcore sound better when Heafy used to scream.
 
You don't listen listen to the former and the latter is nothing like the what the OP is asking for. Stop posting. Seriously. All you do is regurgitate what those around you are talking about even if it doesn't make sense in the context of the thread. You don't develop your own opinions and your time on this board is spent seeking approval from some the social hierarchy this place has managed to develop.

As for my recommendations, Spock's Beard (especially the albums V and Feel Euphoria), Frameshift (check out Unweaving The Rainbow), and Aghora (technical/jazzy metal but with female sung vocals, the self-titled is the superior of the two albums imo)
 
Have you tried Opeth? They're produced by Steven Wilson, and although they do incorporate a bit of screaming that can be irritating if you're not into that sort of that, the instrumentation and songwriting is excellent, and definitely heavy.
 
I have to agree with Isis, doesn't sound much like what Tool or PT produce but it's just worth it because it's awesome beyond all worRAB.
