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.
Albums

Sunburst – Manifesto
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.
PreHistoric Animals – Finding Love in Strange Places
Swedes from “PreHistoric Animals” once again showcased their talents in songwriting and genre mixing to create a remarkable love story in sci-fi setting.
Ghost on Mars – Out of Time and Space
Well, what can I say? This is a stunner of a debut album. I can’t help thinking that these guys are perfect for festivals such as Progpower Europe. I would certainly welcome a chance to see them live. What have the Romans ever done for us? Need you ask? It goes without saying that I am looking forward very much to future works from them.
Haishen – Awaken the Endless Deep
The promising American trio Haishen released their debut full-length album, and it’s taking us to the depths of the sea, with intriguing musical and lyrical ideas. Very remarkable record, unique enough to turn heads.
