I'm mot really high on Symphonic Prog. My favorite groups are Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Riverside, Tool, Pain of Salvation and I like Steven Wilson.
Do you know more bands of that genre?

Bands are right up my alley! Saw Opeth last year and they're incredible! Steven Wilson is a genius...try later albums (last two or three by Anathema!), Agalloch are very good, Sigh is a great band also! Then there's Haken !!!!, Ayreon, Swallow the Sun, Moonsorrow, Paradise Lost, Atheist, Amon Amarth, Dimmu Borgir, Strapping Young Lad...enough for now!..lol...hope this helps!

Welcome to the board musitron. SteveO has instructed that I should add to the list as we are the two who tend to bask in the dark proggy glory.
I would add:
Ihsahn (especially the album angL - Mike Akerfeldt makes a memorable appearance on the song Unhealer)
Pagan's Mind (The album Mind's Equation features an excellent cover of Bowie's Hallo Spaceboy)
O.S.I.
Kino
Katatonia (From Viva Emptiness on is more dark/doom than the older death metal albums)
Priestess (a little more hard rock but some proggy elements in there too)
Maschine
Spock's Beard
Scale The Summit
Intronaut
Animals as Leaders
Flower Kings
The Safety Fire
Big Elf (Money it's Pure Evil - kind of a snarly Beatles)
Theatre of Tragedy (I really like the Musique album)
Candlemass
Dark Tranquility - (more Death metal than others on this list not for those who need clean vocals)
The Gathering
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (a very different band, they are an incredibly creative group but also requires the listener to be open to the unexpected)
So there's a few let me know which ones you liked and I'll try to recommend more similar to them.

Thanks. I know O.S.I. I like them realy much. It will take me a certain time to look at your recommendations but for sure I'll come back and let you know.
