Marjana Semkina – Sirin
If you want to lower the stress levels and set a good vibe, this album should be among your top choices. “Sirin” sounds like scented candles smell. It’s auditory wholesomeness at its finest.
Albums
Latest
!GeRald! – Music for broken elevators
It doesn’t take itself too seriously, but at the same time there isn’t a moment where the silliness overtakes and feels too much. Everything is well balanced, which makes this EP so enjoyable and the perfect “entrée” for the new listeners.
Red Handed Denial – A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia
The iconic sound is still there, and the songs are still very catchy, but the composition seems less riff-driven, and many of the songs come across more mellow and vulnerable.
Oubliette – Eternity Whispers
“Eternity Whispers” is a powerful album, showing a lot of flexibility and experimentation to take the groundwork of black metal and rework it for an entirely different emotional payoff.
Haven of Echoes – Memento Vivere
I found it difficult to select my favourite tracks on this album because they are all excellent. So, I just picked the two longest ones, because you get more bang for your buck with those! When I reviewed their first album, I scored it 9/10 but this one is getting a 10.

Concert Reviews
UK Tech-Fest 2023
It is the end of an era; festivals come and go but there has never been one quite like this one. I would like to thank Simon and all the Tech-Fest team for all their hard work, it has been an honour to be a small part of it. Au revoir Tech-Fest.

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.
Obscura – Persefone – Disillusion – Live at Doornroosje, Nijmegen – 28 Sept 2022
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 – Acoustic Tour – Nochtspeicher, Hamburg – 06.09.2022
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!
