Pattern-Seeking Animals – Spooky Action at a Distance
Prog-Rock has been around for an exceedingly long time, but Pattern-Seeking Animals are doing something different with it. Some of the material on this album might be classed as modern Prog-Rock, but whatever, it is splendid anyway.

Of Virtue – Omen
Even if you are not a fan of metalcore you might find yourself warming to this band. The aggression that inevitably comes with the genre is tempered by the melodic elements running through the album.

Psygnosis – Mercury
This is an album to listen to when you are relaxed, preferably with your favourite tipple and with the lights dimmed. Just let the soundscape wash over you and take you to the far reaches of the Solar System

Ne Obliviscaris – Exul
Over five years has been a long time to wait for this, but it was delayed for obvious reasons. I hope another release of this quality will not be too far in the future.

Stömb – Massive Disturbed Meta Art
Like many bands, the pandemic put the brakes on their progress for a couple of years. I am sure they are keen to do some catching up now. “Massive Disturbed Meta Art” will hopefully get them off to a flying restart.

Haken – Fauna
Is this the best Haken album so far? Perhaps but it is certainly the most complex, which may split opinions. One thing is for sure, the band are further cementing their status in the upper echelons of progressive rock/metal.

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.
