Terravia – A New World

Norway has produced many excellent prog bands, and I see no reason why this group shouldn’t join that list.

Kälad – Arkamine

I think what makes this album interesting is the way it manages to combine what may seem as pretty generic symphonic metal tropes with a modern djent and metalcore blend of sounds and heavy electronic effects.

MEER – Wheels Within Wheels

With a new release, Norwegians MEER has written another chapter in their emotional music journey. “Wheels Within Wheels” deserves a good listen.

Piah Mater – Under the Shadow of a Foreign Sun

Fans of prog metal of the 70s-influenced flavour, complemented with a guttural edge, ornate instrumentation and a south American touch, should look no further than Piah Mater’s latest release “Under the Shadow of a Foreign Sun”!

Kingcrow -Hopium

Kingcrow – Hopium

This is album number eight for Kingcrow, who knows where album number nine will take them. Maybe into darker and stranger realms.

Dear Mother – Necessary Darkness

The combination of aggression and vulnerability, dark lyrics that leave room for interpretation and just enough variation, makes “Necessary Darkness” a strong next step for Dear Mother.

SPACE Quartet in Tienen – Progressive Spirit, Pure Improvisation

At first glance, SPACE Quartet might not seem like an obvious feature for an international progressive rock platform. A Belgian improvisation collective built around an electric sitar does not fit neatly into the conventional prog canon. Yet that is precisely why...
