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

Genus Ordinis Dei – The Beginning

This album grew on me the more I played it. There is much more variety within its 12 tracks than it first appears as well as melody. It has been three years since their previous release. Whilst that is not too long compared to some bands, I hope they are already working on the next one.

Lycania – My Kingdom Come

If you too want to get rid of all that cheap supermarket symphonic metal and nourish your ears with some healthy organic goodies, then I strongly recommend Lycania’s debut record.

Temic – Terror Management Theory

Albums that impress me this much are rare but not unknown. This debut by Temic is outstanding and I have felt honoured to have had the chance to express my views on it. My appetite is well and truly whetted, and I am now hungry for more, so I hope that won’t be too long coming.

Sangdragon – Hierophant

There is a huge amount of diversity across this brace of albums and that makes for an interesting and enjoyable experience.

Odd Circus’ music explores the suspension of space and time navigating a boundary-less sonic landscape that embraces the unknown and welcomes the bizarre. The result is an experimental style of psychedelic art-rock that weaves its way into garage, fusion, krautrock,...

Evergrey in Flensburg, 04 October 2017

Evergrey with Need live in Flensburg, 4. October 2017

The Progspace’s North German base in Flensburg is not known to be a hot spot for progressive music, and so it came a bit as a surprise to us when we found out Evergrey from Sweden would stop by for a show in Flensburg’s Roxy club.

Ayreon Universe (Tilburg, September 15 and 16, 2017)

People from all over the World, from more than 50 nations, witnessed what truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience: The music of Arjen Anthony Lucassen, celebrated on three consecutive nights by the finest dutch musicians, an armada of 16 singers, many of them singing their original roles from the Ayreon metal operas. Almost 10000 people went to Tilburg (NL) for a weekend to be part of an outstanding moment in rock history! The Progspace had to be there!

Jethro Tull playing at Be Prog! My Friend 2017

Be Prog! My Friend 2017 Day 2

Day 2 of this this amazing festival in the beautiful city of Barcelona and the breathtaking surroundings of Poble Espanyol. Starting with the surprising locals of Jardin de la Croix, followed by class acts like Devin Townsend Project, Anathema, the living legend that Jethro Tull is and a blasting closure with none other than Leprous!

Be Prog! My Friend 2017 – Day 1

Last year, I fell in love with the quite newly established Be Prog! My Friend Festival in the beautiful city of Barcelona, when I seized a last minute chance to experience it. So there was no doubt I would be back this year for its fourth edition, this time with the...

SPACE Quartet in Tienen – Progressive Spirit, Pure Improvisation

At first glance, SPACE Quartet might not seem like an obvious feature for an international progressive rock platform. A Belgian improvisation collective built around an electric sitar does not fit neatly into the conventional prog canon. Yet that is precisely why...
