Terravia – A New World
Norway has produced many excellent prog bands, and I see no reason why this group shouldn’t join that list.
Albums
Latest
The Veer Union – Reinvention
I find the diverse unpredictability of the material appeals to me a lot, despite the shortness of the tracks. These 10 songs are predominately melodic but with an aggressive edge.
Moron Police – Pachinko
Moron Police’s Pachinko takes listeners on a surreal, emotionally charged journey, blending grief, absurdity, and hope with their signature mix of progressive rock, metal, and unexpected melodic twists. The album spins from introspective melancholy to playful chaos, leaving a lasting impression of skillful, unpredictable brilliance.
The Reticent – please
I cannot fault this latest release in any way. Five years has been a long time to wait for it but it’s well worth that wait. I and many others now need to wait with bated breath for whatever Chris comes up with next. It’s guaranteed to be excellent; his track record ensures that.
Psychonaut – World Maker
On paper, Psychonaut sounds like a perfect band for me: Belgian post metal (which often means quality in itself), a bit sludgy which I don’t mind, and with a lot of clean vocals. Yet, somehow I have never really given them a chance; I have even seen them live at the...

Concert Reviews
BEAT @ Cirque Royal, Brussels – 23 June 2026
BEAT – Not a Museum Piece, but a Living Machine King Crimson has never been one fixed memory for me. I saw the later incarnation with three drummers in Antwerp: an impressive, almost ceremonial machine in which the repertoire unfolded as a broad musical landscape. I...

Geoff Tate @ Midsummer Prog Festival (20.06.2026) – Maastricht (NL)
Some albums stand the test of time. Others become defining milestones that shape an entire musical genre. Queensrÿche's Operation: Mindcrime unquestionably belongs to the latter category. When the concept album was released in 1988, it proved that heavy metal could be...
Quidam @ Midsummer Prog Festival (20.06.2026) – Maastricht (NL)
Some concerts are experienced with your ears. Others are experienced just as much through your memories. Quidam’s performance at Midsummer Prog undoubtedly belonged to the latter category. My history with the band goes back almost twenty years. Ever since its release...
