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.
Albums

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.

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!
