Green Carnation – A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex

The band have set themselves a very high bar to maintain. What will they take on next? Whatever it is, I’m sure it won’t be a disappointment. We wait with great expectations.

Down The Hill Festival 2026 – Saturday 22 August

Down The Hill Festival 2026 – Saturday 22 August Rillaar, Belgium (We had consciously chosen to attend only the Saturday) Review & photography by Jaak GeebelenThis coverage would not have been possible without the invaluable assistance of Ela Williamson.  ...

Gender Reveal Atomic Bomb & Bikini Beach – Down The Hill Festival, Rillaar, Belgium – 22 August 2026

  At first listen, Gender Reveal Atomic Bomb and Bikini Beach sounded surprisingly similar. Both bands draw from a raw, direct kind of rock energy, with punk as an important foundation, heavy guitars and very little interest in musical politeness. Yet their...

Illumishade – Another Side of You

Illumishade’s “Another Side of You” is the ultimate hybrid of genres, sounds and emotions not just because of how many puzzle pieces it puts together, but because of how beautiful and coherent the final picture is.

Night Verses – Every Sound has a Color in the Valley of Night

With “Every Sound has a Color in the Valley of Night(Part 2)”, Americans “Night Verses” completed the album, partially released last year. And it’s clear the “Part 2” shines as much as Part 1, but also adds extra flavours with two vocal-featured tracks.

Omnivide – A Tale of Fire

The mix of styles in the material on “A Tale of Fire” speaks volumes to me. Debut albums are always a great stepping stone for bands, and I hope this landmark moment will spur them on. I am sure they have plenty of ideas in their locker and I look forward to hearing more from them.

Artificial Language – Distant Glow EP

As good as this EP is, I hope it is a stopgap in lieu of another full album. That would be most welcome, and this is certainly a band to watch out for.

Persefone – Lingua Ignota: Part I

They were always kings of odd time signatures, disrupted rhythmic songwriting and extreme technicality, so to see them scale down on these aspects was not something I was ready for. I was also afraid they’d just dilute their creativity to please a wider audience. But Persefone is as strong as it ever was, if not even stronger.
