I have discovered a band that I already knew about and had chosen not to investigate before. That was a mistake, oh well, you live and learn. I can’t promise to investigate all their back catalogue, but I now feel better equipped to enjoy the show later this year. Big Big Train seem to have a new lease of life and have the bit between their teeth. I think the future looks bright for them.
If you are a fan of Fates Warning and/or Jim and Ray’s side projects, this is an unmissable addition for your collection. It should appeal to many people, and I would be surprised if this is the last of North Sea Echoes. There will surely be a demand for more.
It took me a few listens to appreciate the entirety of this album. It is creepy, angry, and melodic with a gothic concept to boot. The band isn’t afraid to experiment and have the capacity to do that. Who knows what will be in store for them, but I for one can’t wait to see what that is.
They take their name seriously. This album is aimed to sound like a ritual, and to keep the listeners immersed and hypnotized.
This is another one of those bands that have passed me by until now. Legend is their fifth album in just under ten years. So not only is there a back catalogue to explore, but it shouldn’t be too long before album number six. Bring it on I say because the pros far outweigh the cons on this release, so it’s thumbs up from me.

Monuments, Vola, Kadinja & Atlas Northcore in Munich Live Review
Be Prog! My Friend, was once again a perfectly organized festival, where you never felt that it was too full, the breaks had the perfect length and, most importantly, the musical selection was spot on.
The festival runs over four days with more than fifty bands performing. In addition there are industry workshops. For the two of us, who were Tech Fest virgins, the festival was a very pleasant experience. The audience is lively, but very friendly and easy-going. The festival is extremely well run, bands being on time, and changeovers going smoothly and quickly. The staff is generally pleasant, smiling and helpful, something that rubs of on the audience, making it easy to meet new friends.
or those of you who have been leaving under a rock, or refuse to consider other plans for that specific weekend in October (wink wink), in just a few weeks the 14th edition of Euroblast Festival will be taking place. In the iconic Essigfabrik in...
