Ignea – Monumental

Iapetus – The Mother Void
I’m intrigued to see where Iapetus goes next. Whatever comes next, my expectations will be high, as it seems almost certain to be epic once again. In the meantime, I’m not tired of listening to this superb release yet and I may never be.
Temic – Ceiba
This is a band going from strength to strength and this album will help them stand out in the progressive metal world. If it takes three more years until the next album, so be it, I can wait, because it is bound to be worth it.
Bigmoth – Carbon Error
This is a young band with hopefully a very promising future. Do not be surprised if they crop up at a venue near you or one of the European festivals. I hope this debut release will propel them on to greater success, because they have bags of potential.
Playgrounded – A Flower to Water
I must admit, I’m always a little wary when the word “post” appears in a band’s genre description. To me, it can suggest that something has been left behind or stripped away. Still, the proof is always in the listening, and I try to approach these things with an open...

Quidam – 35 Years of Musical History in Warsaw Last June, we caught Quidam at Midsummer Prog in Maastricht, where the Polish band once again captured our attention with a convincing performance. We published an extensive review of that concert on The Progspace....

Gender Reveal Atomic Bomb & Bikini Beach – Down The Hill Festival, Rillaar, Belgium – 22 August 2026
At first listen, Gender Reveal Atomic Bomb and Bikini Beach sounded surprisingly similar. Both bands draw from a raw, direct kind of rock energy, with punk as an important foundation, heavy guitars and very little interest in musical politeness. Yet their...

The Guru Guru was one of those bands on the Down The Hill bill that, at first glance, seemed to sit somewhat outside the traditional spectrum of progressive rock. The Belgian group is usually filed under art rock, noise rock and math rock, but during this...
