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”!
This is album number eight for Kingcrow, who knows where album number nine will take them. Maybe into darker and stranger realms.
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.
It’s hard to beat great vocals and stunningly dexterous guitar playing backed up by a solid rhythm section. There are no doubt reasons why they have only produced two albums in 14 years. I hope the next one will be released before too long. If it’s as good as “Manifesto,” it will be well worth waiting for.

ProgRock Fest in Legionowo (a Polish city near Warsaw) is since 2015 an annual indoor festival for prog rock lovers. The festival is not of an order of magnitude to attract the big (foreign) names. But in previous editions names such as Galahad, Collin bass, Mystery and the David Cross Band were on the list. This year it was a complete Polish affair.
