OPETH won BEST BAND at the Progressive Music Awards

04 September 2015

Swedish metal veterans OPETH won best band at the Progressive Music Awards in London.

Singer and guitarist Steven Wilson has been crowned the current king of prog rock after winning three prizes, while GENESIS keyboard player Tony Banks was named "Prog God".

PINK FLOYD had three nominations but won nothing for their album The Endless River, based on unreleased material from sessions for their 1994 album The Division Bell.

The Progressive Music Awards, in their fourth year, were handed out by Prog Magazine at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre's Underglobe.

OPETH are set to play a very special one off show with an Orchestra at the Roman theater in Plovdiv on 19 September.
