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.
Albums
Latest
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.
Pattern-Seeking Animals – Spooky Action at a Distance
Prog-Rock has been around for an exceedingly long time, but Pattern-Seeking Animals are doing something different with it. Some of the material on this album might be classed as modern Prog-Rock, but whatever, it is splendid anyway.
