This album is definitely going to be in my album of the year contenders list as I cannot fault it in any way. I don’t dish out full marks very often, but I have no option but to do so in this case. I have a new band to follow, and they have a new fan.
With the new album, “Melodies of Atonement”, the band from Norway offers an unmistakable Leprous experience – and it’s the one you want to dive into.
The barrage of blasting on the drums and running nature of the guitar riffs is technical enough to have the nerds satisfied, while the hostile, corrosive sound and evil chord progressions always keep the portals to hell open for those more ritualistically inclined.
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.
With a new release, Norwegians MEER has written another chapter in their emotional music journey. “Wheels Within Wheels” deserves a good listen.

A review of the 2023 edition of Romanian prog festival ARTmania that brought together bands such as Porcupine Tree, Wardruna, Emperor, Pain of Salvation, Haken, TesseracT, Vulture Industries, Port Noir, or Samael in probably its best lineup to date.
As a passionate concert goer and a fan of the extreme arts, this evening was one I couldn’t miss. The legendary tech-death group Obscura recently had a tour through Europe with support acts Disillusion and Persefone, the latter being a beloved favourite of mine. It is a tour that had been announced before the pandemic only to be repeatedly postponed until it finally happened. During this time both frustration and anticipation were left to boil, so when the riffs finally unleashed, it was catharsis time.
Green Carnation is one of those bands any prog fan should see at least once in their lives. We had the pleasure to witness their “Acoustic Tour” show at the Nochtspeicher club in Hamburg on 06.09.2022. A show full of magic!
