Progressive

=Progressive (music genre)=

Progressive music is a genre that emerged through innovation, new approaches to instruments used in existing genres, and crossover styles. The term was first applied in Jazz, where Cool Jazz was referenced and created an Art Rock sound.

Currently the term is widely used to describe existing genres such as indie rock music to describe its melodic flow, new techniques, or synthesized sounds. The Mars Volta is an example of a band that can be called progressive, using a wide variety of ambiant and eerie sound.

**Progressive Death Metal**
Similiar to Technical Death Metal, it incorperates elements from Death Metal and basically Jazzes them up. The music is more flowing and has more hooks. It is one of the more accessable sub-genres of Death Metal. Vocals remain scratchy with either a yell or even a grunt, but can also include some sort of "haunting" vocals. Drums require a double-kick but not necessarily blastbeats. Other instruments such as strings, brass, keybowww.meatspin.comany pass off as "cheesy".

Most universal and influential band to exhibit these characteristics: [|Death]

The term can also be applied to a subset of dance music. **Progressive House** and **Progressive Trance** music are two types of dance music that focus on starting off with just a single element (such as a kick or bass drum) and slowly bringing in other elements such as snares and synths.
