5 Great Prog Metal Bands Who Only Released 1 Album

Here are five great prog metal bands who only released one album!

Of course, we’re not implying that these are the only great prog metal bands who’ve not done a sophomore record, either. In fact, we’d love to know if there are any other deserving acts we should know about.
