Answer: Megadeth

Dystopia is associated with apocalyptic times during which many many people die around the world, and another seeming term for that would be Megadeth, since mega- and -deth (intentional misspelling of death) means one million deaths. But the name was inspired from singer Dave Mustaine's cross-country bus ride from New York to San Francisco after he exited out of his former band Metallica, which felt like a million people had died, to him.

Speaking of progressing into the future (or into yesterday), Nevermore is a progressive metal band.
