Quiet – …and so it was
Quiet is a new band waiting in the wings, bucking the trend in their local music scene. Hopefully in the not-too distant future, they will be able to say…”and so it was”.

Sinoptik – The Calling
Sinoptik admit they are not trying to re-invent the wheel, just produce a great sounding and technically sophisticated album. In that, I believe they have succeeded.

Pentral – What Lies Ahead of Us
These guys are more than the sum of their influences and I believe they can go on to greater things.

The Wring – The Wring² Project Cipher
What sounds at first to be a straight-forward rock album, turns out to be so much more: The Wring² Project Cipher!

Scar of the Sun – Inertia
Anger and melancholy make for an emotional rollercoaster, and these Greeks have it down pat. Where will they go next?

The Stranger – Kaleidoscope
I hope these guys are planning their next album. They have bags of potential and I can’t wait to see what else they have in their locker.
Read More
Odd Dimension – The Blue Dawn
This is an absorbing 63 minutes and a little bit different from what you might expect from progressive metal.
Read More
Dead World Reclamation – Aura of Iniquity
Dead World Reclamation seem to have their chosen genre sewn up tight. Just the right amount of melodic ingredients, bags of technical skill and ferocity tempered with infectious rhythms.
Read More
The Elephant in the Room – Self Titled
This is a professional sounding album with some mighty fine musicians including the man himself. Varying from easy listening to full on guitar wizardry.
Read More
The Spectre Beneath – The New Identity of Sidney Stone
What we have here, is a very enjoyable hour of multi genre, multi-faceted, captivating progressive power metal. A modern metal epic that maintains the best aspects of each style and component.
Read More
Ætheria Conscientia – Corrupted Pillars of Vanity
This is another great release coming out of France, aggressive and melodic in equal measures. It’s atmospheric and intriguing. I would suggest this isn’t a typical black metal offering, but it is a very welcome one.
Read More
Iotunn – Access All Worlds
These Danes have produced a great debut album and it should stand them in good stead for future projects.
Read More
Grorr- Ddulden’s Last Flight
If you like your rock and metal music melodic with heavier parts and altogether a little different, then give this band a listen. I promise you this is something only a few of you will have heard the like of before.

John Holden – Circles in Time
There is some fantastic musicianship on this album, and it should appeal to fans of both Prog Rock and Folk Rock.

Aziola Cry – The Ironic Divide
Aziola Cry are back with a new album after 14 years. Talent like this needs to be heard more and preferably witnessed live, we live in hope.

I hope this rather excellent debut propels them to greater things because they deserve it.
Read More
DVNE – Etemen Ænka
The determination and imagination of bands such as DVNE should be encouraged and applauded.

Exanimis – Marionnettiste
These former musical students have produced a sumptuous sixty-five minutes of grandiose, orchestral death metal brilliance.
Read More
Turbyne – Arc
Scotland has produced its fair share of great bands, and these guys are well on the way to joining that list, or maybe even there already.
Read More
Framing Skeletons – Luminescence
These Texan fellas seem to be able to turn their hands to almost anything. It begs the question where do they go next?
Read More
Konom – Konom
I remember seeing and enjoying this band in their former incarnation of Ascent. It was at an album...
Read More
The Design Abstract – Technotheism
Increasingly I am finding that these smaller projects are the more interesting and less predictable ones. These two Canadians seem to have bags of ideas and are not afraid to experiment.
Read More
Immortal Guardian – Psychosomatic
Psychosomatic is great topical record, but let’s hope that the next one will be about happier times and happenings. You get the feeling that they have a lot left to give.
Read More
Abiotic – Ikigai
The band seem to have rediscovered their mojo, so maybe we will see more from them. I, for one, certainly hope so.

Magnum – Dance of the Black Tattoo
This a great trip down memory lane and a piece of prog rock history.

Blighted Eye – Wretched
The group is hard at work crafting what will become their first full-length album sometime in the future. The evidence here is that it will be something to look forward to, let’s hope it’s not too far into the future.
Read More
Slice the Cake – Live at Home
Hopefully, this kind of album will be a rare thing. As good as it is, it has only been brought about by the awful situation that this year has thrown at us. This will do for now, but I am looking forward to watching them perform this material live in the flesh.
