Which prog bands/artists have really gotten you fired up about newer prog in recent years?

Well, last five but their second album came out this year: Three Trapped Tigers
From 2011:
From 2016:
The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off
Schooltree - Rise. Not really prog but excellent nevertheless, and Big Big Train - English Electric Part 2 are two that immediately come to mind.
These are the bands that I think have debut albums since 2013 that I really dig:
Macroscream
Ampledeed
Ingranaggi della Valle
Oxhuitza
Volto
Pampa Trash (just discovered this band whose debut is 2014, absolutely love them!)
Seven Impale
PropheXy
Zletovsko
Grand General
A few I think are good, but perhaps not quite as good as those above. In fairness, some of these probably need a fresh listen:
Bill in The Tea
Zeptelar
Rafart
I Know You Well Miss Clara
Progenesi
Lady with the Monkey, The
Spoke of Shadows
Ni
Vak
M-Opus
I have no memory of this one at the moment, but I liked it enough to keep it. I'll give it a fresh spin in the next few days and report back:
Feat.Esserela

new artists (and or albums) *to me* in the last few years
Alco Frisbass
Lander, Maat
Ske
Eccentric Orbit
Grand General
Hooffoot
Jaga Jazzist
Quantum Fantay
Special Providence
and the greatest album (for me) of the last few years came last year from a 90s band
Asturias - Missing Piece Of My Life
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

Thank You Scientist live was pretty fantastic.
I’m probably repeating some suggestions, but some things bear repeating:
Camelias Garden
Grand General
I Know You Well Miss Clara
Ingranaggi delle Valle
M-Opus
Psicomagia
ptf
Theo
Unreal City
Zletovsko
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
The Psychedelic Ensemble
Monarch Trail (new project by Ken Baird)
I listened to the Feat.Esserela last night. Decent album, I would probably rate it among the better albums of my "decent" group, or at the lower end of the "great" ones. Some great playing, just not a lot really stood out to me on the composition side. Still a definite keeper, though. Also listened to the debut Utopianisti album, which was 2011, but I enjoyed that one quite a bit. I'm happy they apparently have a new one coming out.
