Prog Metal Year In Review: 23 Albums From 2023

It's the new year, and with it brings new music. But looking back, there is plenty of great music to be thankful for. New Periphery, Baroness, TesseracT, and an Earthside album after all these years. Some great albums from some unexpected bands, and great ones from the expected bands of course. It's hard to sum up an entire year in 23 albums, so if you can think of any more, or if you have a favorite from this year, please post it down below!
