Albums

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.
Stortregn – Finitude
I was expecting an exciting competition for tech-death supremacy to emerge towards the end of the year, as the release date to “Finitude” grew closer. What I didn’t expect, however, was that this album was going to shatter the bar and go play in a league of its own.
TesseracT – War of Being
This is not only their best album yet, but certainly one of the best releases of 2023, and any fan of progressive music ought to check it out!

Concert Reviews
Orphaned Land in Arnhem, February 24 2018
On a cold winter day in the Netherlands, Orphaned Land could not have wished for a better start of their “Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs” tour: In Arnhem’s small Willemeen club, they were welcomed by a frenetic audience - for the first time an Orphaned Land show...
Epica with Vuur and Myrath, Hamburg 13 November 2017
A very interesting package, consisting for two bands led by two of the best Dutch female voices out there – Epica with Simone Simons and Anneke van Giersbergen’s new band Vuur – and the oriental metal of Myrath from Tunisia. Definitely one of the concert highlights of 2017!
Tour review: Malina 2017 – Leprous, Agent Fresco, Alithia and Astrosaur
With all the surprises, strong support (or co-headliner) acts and a Leprous performance that seemed out of this world, the “Malina” tour ranks on the top of the list of 2017, for some (like our Munich reviewer Dario!) even leaving behind the likes of the Ayreon Universe shows and Shattered Fortress, both among the highlights of the concerts roster of 2017 in Europe. Leprous are superstars, and deservedly so.
ProgPower Europe 2017
nce again, a small portion of Europe’s prog family (and a tiny part of the global one) gathered in the little Dutch town of Baarlo at the beginning of October to celebrate the annual ProgPower Europe (PPE) festival - this year it lasted from...
