[td]Jazz rock fusion's technically challenging guitar solos, bass solos, and odd-metered, syncopated drumming started to be incorporated in the technically focused [[progressive metal]] genre by the late 1980s. [[Watchtower (band)|Watchtower]]'s 1989 album ''[[Control and Resistance]]'' is one of the earliest progressive/[[thrash metal]] albums to experiment with a jazz fusion-influenced sound.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Sharpe-Young |first=Garry |url=https://www.google.com/books/editio...on"+"watchtower"&pg=PA495&printsec=frontcover |title=Metal: The Definitive Guide : Heavy, NWOBH, Progressive, Thrash, Death, Black, Gothic, Doom, Nu |date=2007 |publisher=Jawbone Press |isbn=978-1-906002-01-5 |page=495 |ol=8776949M}}</ref> The [[death metal]] band [[Atheist (band)|Atheist]] produced albums ''[[Unquestionable Presence]]'' in 1991 and ''[[Elements (Atheist album)|Elements]]'' in 1993 containing heavily syncopated drumming, changing time signatures, instrumental parts, acoustic interludes, and Latin rhythms. [[Meshuggah]] first attracted international attention with the 1995 release ''[[Destroy Erase Improve]]'' for its fusion of fast-tempo death metal, thrash metal, and progressive metal with jazz fusion elements.

[td]Another, more cerebral, all-instrumental progressive jazz fusion-metal band [[Planet X (band)|Planet X]] released ''[[Universe (Planet X album)|Universe]]'' in 2000 with [[Tony MacAlpine]], [[Derek Sherinian]] (ex-[[Dream Theater]]), and [[Virgil Donati]] (who has played with [[Scott Henderson]] from [[Tribal Tech]]). The band blends fusion-style guitar solos and syncopated odd-metered drumming with the heaviness of metal. Tech-prog-fusion metal band [[Aghora (band)|Aghora]] formed in 1995 and released their first album, self-titled ''[[Aghora (album)|Aghora]]'', recorded in 1999 with [[Sean Malone]] and [[Sean Reinert]], both former members of Cynic. [[Gordian Knot (band)|Gordian Knot]], another Cynic-linked experimental progressive metal band, released its debut album in 1999 which explored a range of styles from jazz fusion to metal. [[The Mars Volta]] is extremely influenced by jazz fusion, using progressive, unexpected turns in the drum patterns and instrumental lines. The style of Uzbek prog band [[Fromuz]] is described as "prog fusion". In lengthy instrumental [[Jam session|jams]] the band transitions from fusion of rock and [[ambient music|ambient]] [[world music]] to jazz and progressive hard rock tones.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rockreviews.org/reviewpage.php?ID=624 |title=Music review of Overlook CD by Fromuz (2008) |website=rockreviews.org}}</ref>[/td]
