 Pain of Salvation was always working towards an unusual style, demonstrated by the eclecticism and anti-conformism of Faith No More, "One Hour by the Concrete Lake" (1998), "BE" (2004) Forerunners of a more experimental and alternative approach include Thought Industry - "" (1993), Mind over Four, and Voivod.Another important and key figure for eclectic and unusual prog is the singer, guitarist and composer Devin Townsend, who brought a vanguard attitude to highest levels within this genre ("Terria" 2001).As of 2019, the genre is still constantly evolving in multiple forms, and has reached a far broader variety of sounds and styles than it had at its origin, with many of the historical bands continuing to record new music and tour, while thousands of other new bands emerge in the underground scene every year, from all over the world.
