'Theatrical' Metal?
(lemmy.world)
Metal community, all subgenres welcome.
It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

My first thought was of GWAR, but it's not really the musical style. It's the fact they are a metal band and put on a lot of theatrics in their shows (costumes, skits, etc). I'm not even that big of a metal fan, but I've always wanted to go see GWAR after seeing some clips of their live performances.
But yeah, the style you seem to be looking for is, as I've always known it, called progressive metal.
