Progressive metal (sometimes known as prog metal or prog-metal) is a subgenre of both progressive rock and heavy metal originating in the United Kingdom and the United States in the late 1980s. Progressive metal blended elements of heavy metal and progressive rock music taking the loud aggression and amplified electric guitar-driven sound of the former with the more experimental complex and pseudo-classical compositions of the latter.
