Anyone recommend something like this?

[Elly#1]

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

Sieges Even Official v7.0

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.

I'd second Oceansize and personally recommend their second album Everyone into Position.

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.

Neurosis and Jesu maybe? To a poppier extent I get a bit of a Porcupine Tree vibe from Spock's Beard.

Try FATES WARNING and the album X.
