ALKALOID – Liquid Anatomy

ALKALOID – Liquid Anatomy

May 17, 2018 |

After such an engaging and challenging debut, there is no way but up for ALKALOID and with “Liquid Anatomy” they have pushed themselves beyond the confines of their respective careers in metal, elevating their compositions and songwriting and taking a deeper plunge into the progressive. It’s as though the heaviness, technicality, and virtuosity of their previous bands have met the songwriting and story-telling of bands like Rush and King Crimson. Excellent musicians making excellent music.

Ihsahn – Àmr

Ihsahn – Àmr

May 2, 2018 |

After 12 years and 7 albums, Ihsahn is still discovering new ground and sources of inspiration and producing great music that defies classification. Calling ‘Ámr’ a progressive extreme metal album might come close, but it still falls short. This is simply great music.

Poem, Damnations Day and White Walls Tour Review

Poem, Damnations Day and White Walls Tour Review

Mar 25, 2018 |

Poem has the professionalism, stage presence, talent, and songwriting skills of a much bigger act, and I can only hope that festival organizers and the progressive community will give them the attention they deserve in the future. On the way out of the venue there were a lot of smiling faces and happy audience members, all in all, a night to remember.

Jordsjø – Jord

Mar 9, 2018 |

“Jord” is Scandinavian old-school prog done majestically. There’s really nothing more I can say other than every prog fan really needs to listen to this album and this band.

Tour review: Malina 2017 – Leprous, Agent Fresco, Alithia and Astrosaur

Tour review: Malina 2017 – Leprous, Agent Fresco, Alithia and Astrosaur

Jan 20, 2018 |

With all the surprises, strong support (or co-headliner) acts and a Leprous performance that seemed out of this world, the “Malina” tour ranks on the top of the list of 2017, for some (like our Munich reviewer Dario!) even leaving behind the likes of the Ayreon Universe shows and Shattered Fortress, both among the highlights of the concerts roster of 2017 in Europe. Leprous are superstars, and deservedly so.

Lunatic Soul – Fractured

Nov 7, 2017 |

It sure has been a busy and eventful year for Mariusz Duda, with an acclaimed comeback tour with Riverside and now an amazing new album from his side project Lunatic Soul. Fractured is full of melody, grooves, electronic music, memorable vocals, great bass lines and NO electric guitars, and everything works wonderfully.

Do you wish you had more Death, Control Denied and Cynic albums to listen to? Then this one is for you. “So True, So Bound” by Exist carries the torch in the progressive-meets-technical death metal department with heavy, atmospheric and intricate songs that will leave you wanting for more. Luckily they have another album and an EP out to tide you over.

Schammasch – The Maldoror Chants: Hermaphrodite

Schammasch – The Maldoror Chants: Hermaphrodite

Sep 22, 2017 |

Schammasch keeps showing up to work with their second release this year, bringing an EP that will probably polarize their fanbase but anything goes in the name of progress. The Maldoror Chants: Hermaphrodite is a dark, gloomy, moody and beautifully executed concept that haunts and traps the listener in a melancholic ride, then setting them free after half an hour of ritualistic chants, drones and doomy black metal.
