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.

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...

Turbulence – B1nary Dream

We’re left with strong feelings of uplifting melancholia, if that makes any sense, triumphant, yet aware of the hardships and traumas endured on our journey so far. And that is the exact moment I know there’s no way around a perfect 10/10 for “Binary Dream”, because it’s nothing short of breathtaking, both on a technical and emotional level.

Shadowpath – The Aeon Discordance

For me, this is a band that stands out from the crowd and “The Aeon Discordance” gets better with each listen. Their compositions are diverse and vibrant and have the ratio of ingredients that closely match my current musical taste. I hope this album will propel them to greater things and I look forward to hearing more from them.

Job for a Cowboy – Moon Healer

Job for a Cowboy’s twisted hallucinogenic tale from 2014’s “Sun Eater” finally continues with “Moon Healer”.

Borknagar - Fall

Borknagar – Fall

“Fall” is another solid addition to Borknagar’s impressive catalogue, as it’s built on a strong foundation of excellent songwriting and musicianship. If you’re a fan of progressive metal with a touch of the extreme, you really can’t go wrong with Borknagar.

Best of ProgPower Europe 2018

ProgPower Europe 2018 – 20th-anniversary edition was a BANG! The ProgPower Europe crew knows how to deliver a fabulous weekend with excellent sound, super organization and excellent food. But the most important is that even if you don’t recognize many names on their bill, they always have the most awesome bands you haven’t heard of under their sleeves, but guaranteed: they smash everyone down!

UK-Tech-Fest 2019

Over forty hours of music behind us. Plenty of amazing bands, great company and a few beers along the way. Back to reality tomorrow, but how real is reality? Many thanks to Simon and all the Tech-Fest team for another outstanding festival. We will be back next year.
