Mask of Prospero – Hiraeth
This album has been three years in the making but is well worth the wait. I hope we don’t have to wait another three years for the next release, because this is another great Greek story.

The Wring – Spectra
Having reviewed the previous album by The Wring, their new album “Spectra” brought no surprises. Main man Don Dewulf has though, employed a new set of musicians to join him on this latest project. One name that instantly stands out is Marco Minnemann, who must be one...
Euphrosyne – Keres (EP)
I’ve no doubt that the band will be keen to follow up on this excellent debut as soon as possible.
Avandra – Prodigal
This new release is certainly a progression, they are obviously not afraid to experiment, so it will be interesting to know what’s in the pipeline.

Concert Reviews

Obscura – Persefone – Disillusion – Live at Doornroosje, Nijmegen – 28 Sept 2022
As a passionate concert goer and a fan of the extreme arts, this evening was one I couldn’t miss. The legendary tech-death group Obscura recently had a tour through Europe with support acts Disillusion and Persefone, the latter being a beloved favourite of mine. It is a tour that had been announced before the pandemic only to be repeatedly postponed until it finally happened. During this time both frustration and anticipation were left to boil, so when the riffs finally unleashed, it was catharsis time.
