Here are five remarkable prog metal bands that have only released one album!

It often takes multiple LPs for a band to demonstrate their true greatness. As Loudwire has already highlighted with our list of five exceptional prog rock bands who only released one album, sometimes a group emerges, impresses with their debut disc, and then disbands before they can continue their excellence or tarnish their reputation with a follow-up.

Since we have already celebrated those prog rock talents, we are now honoring a few one-and-done progressive metal giants who achieved the same feat.

Of course, we are not suggesting that these are the only outstanding prog metal bands that haven’t produced a sophomore record. In fact, we would love to hear if there are any other deserving acts we should know about.
