Devil’s Reef – The Droste Observer
This album is all over the place in terms of technicality, complexity, genre mashups and weird song structures but despite that, it is quite engaging.
Albums

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.
Earthside – Let the Truth Speak
With “Let the Truth Speak”, US progressive rockers Earthside set a new bar in the production and composition, creating a very diverse and unique record.

Concert Reviews
Textures with Extremities and Mother of Millions, Berlin 24. November 2017
A cold night in Berlin as one of the most influential and successful modern progressive metal bands calls it quits. Textures decided to have a farewell tour throughout Europe, called Last Miles to the Moon, to say goodbye to their fans with some excellent shows.
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)
