Progressive metal first surfaced in the late '80s, led by such bands as the Pink Floydian Queensryche. Even though it never became a huge seller in the '90s, progressive metal always had a dedicated following, and bands like Queensryche and Dream Theater stayed on major labels throughout the decade)

found: Prog Archive WWW site, August 13, 2013(Progressive metal-a progressive rock sub-genre; sound defined by a blend of heavy, guitar-oriented metal music enriched with compositional innovation and complex arrangements, usually expressed through diverse instrumentation and often (but not always) with odd-time signatures. Common, but not essential to define the movement, are the frequent use of keyboards, high-pitched vocals, concept lyrical themes and tracks of longer duration.)
