The Progspace 10th Anniversary Show

Temple Fang – Down The Hill Festival, Rillaar, Belgium – 22 August 2026

  Some bands need an hour to work their way through ten or twelve songs. Temple Fang needed only three. At Down The Hill, their set consisted of “Harvest Angel”, “The River” and “Flood” – three long-form compositions that felt far less like separate songs than one...

Naxatras – Down The Hill Festival, Rillaar, Belgium – 22/08/2026

Naxatras – Between Cosmic Precision and Free Psychedelia Naxatras are one of those bands whose evolution becomes perhaps even clearer on stage than on record. Anyone who mainly knows them from their early, sprawling psychedelic jams might be surprised by how far their...

Atomic Rooster – Down The Hill Festival, Rillaar, Belgium – 22 August 2026

Atomic Rooster – A Past That Can Still Move Forward There are bands whose past becomes so significant that it eventually threatens to overshadow their present. With Atomic Rooster, that danger is certainly there. Formed in 1969 around keyboardist Vincent Crane, with...

Needlepoint – Down The Hill Festival, Rillaar, Belgium – 22 August 2026

Sometimes a festival introduces you to a band you already expected to enjoy, only for the live experience to reveal just how much depth and character there really is in the music. Needlepoint was exactly that kind of band for me. Their set at Down The Hill became one...

Ozric Tentacles @ Down The Hill Festival (Rillaar, Belgium, 22.08.2026)

Ozric Tentacles at Down The Hill – The Eternal Wheel Keeps Turning Down The Hill is not the kind of festival you simply stumble upon by chance. The 2026 edition was sold out and brought roughly a thousand visitors together down  the hill. Anyone still hoping to buy a...

Pattern-Seeking Animals – Grimalkin

I wonder if they can keep this work rate up, six albums in practically as many years is some going. The challenge is keeping them diverse and interesting, which so far, they have. All aboard the Pattern-Seeking Animals express, next stop in about a year?

Kristoffer Gildenlöw – [Humanised]

This album is one of those that gets better with every play. There will be more from this man, of that I have no doubt and I will be on the lookout for it.

Hopsydian – A Graceful Sin EP

These early steps on what should be a very promising journey for the band firmly states their intent to succeed. It’s a relatively short glimpse into what this band is about and hopefully there will be more to come soon.

Harboured – We’re Only the Love That We Lead

Denver’s Atmospheric Black / Post Metal outfit Harboured are presenting an excellent specimen of their style, with their sophomore full-length “We’re Only the Love That We Lead”

Sum of Seven – Echoes of the Hypermind

Picking my favourite tracks was difficult because there isn’t a bad one amongst them. Influences are inevitable and sometimes obvious here and there but that doesn’t diminish the fact that this is a great album.

Hooverphonic – Het Groot Verlof, Oude Markt Leuven, July 10, 2026

Some concerts already have a story before the first note is played. Hooverphonic at  Het Groot Verlof  was one of those nights. Earlier that evening, the Oude Markt had watched Belgium’s World Cup quarter-final against Spain together. Belgium lost, and for a moment it...

TesseracT @ Midsummer Prog Festival (21.06.2026) – Maastricht (NL)

TesseracT from the United Kingdom closed the second day of Midsummer Prog with a set built primarily around material from War of Being and Sonder, complemented by selections from Polaris, Altered State and the early Concealing Fate era. Since their formation in 2003,...

BEAT @ Cirque Royal, Brussels – 23 June 2026

BEAT – Not a Museum Piece, but a Living Machine King Crimson has never been one fixed memory for me. I saw the later incarnation with three drummers in Antwerp: an impressive, almost ceremonial machine in which the repertoire unfolded as a broad musical landscape. I...
