Blackbriar – A Dark Euphony
As a prog fan, I always like to hear new things and get some surprise factor, but in Blackbriar’s case, the formula hasn’t yet become redundant and I’m perfectly fine with another album following this recipe.

Hypomanic Daydream – Image
I’m sure that Hypomanic Daydream is destined not to be very famous in the near future, but I wholeheartedly wish they get an underground reputation as they deserve it.
Alkaloid – Numen
On top of the fact that it is excellently put together as a modern death metal album, “Numen” might also be one of the most diverse and multi-faceted extreme metal releases I’ve come across!
Tegmentum – Evolvement
Despite having sat through a bunch of technical death metal albums since the beginning of this year, I can easily say that Tegmentum dropped the most brutal album of 2023 so far. And it will be a very difficult one to top.
Obsidian Tide – The Grand Crescendo
Dive into a spectacular work of cinematic progressive metal, highly recommended for listeners with an appreciation for strong dynamics and a sufficient attention span.

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
