I can't really recommend any of them. There's always some kind of bias since music is at least mostly subjective. What I can recommend is that you listen to an album yourself and form your own opinion of it. If you're trying to find new artists, start with what music you already like and follow the ropes from that stuff to the things you haven't heard. All music is stylistically connected. I could even try and recommend you some newer artists that I like, and I think they're good, but I don't know for sure that you'll agree

No that’s fine

Maybe I didn’t ask the question in the right way, I was mainly asking of places which people on here considered reliable for albums

My music taste is quite unvaried so any point in any direction would be appreciated

Alrighty, well in my opinion, modern prog is the best corner of the rock and metal scene today. Vola is the newest one I can think of, but there's also Haken, Caligula's Horse, Leprous, Anathema, and a bunch more. Gojira and Mastodon are two of the biggest metal bands at the moment who are actually good. I also love post rock and neoclassical stuff from the instrumental side of things. Post Rock has names like Lights and Motion, Mogwai, Swans, Collapse Under The Empire, Explosions In the Sky, This Will Destroy You and more. My favorite neoclassical artists are Balmorhea, Olafur Arnalds, Max Richter, and Luke Howard. Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle and Deftones are some bands I've enjoyed for years

I’d add Agent Fresco and Others By No One to the list of prog rock/metal.
