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.
Albums
Latest
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.
Of Virtue – Omen
Even if you are not a fan of metalcore you might find yourself warming to this band. The aggression that inevitably comes with the genre is tempered by the melodic elements running through the album.
Psygnosis – Mercury
This is an album to listen to when you are relaxed, preferably with your favourite tipple and with the lights dimmed. Just let the soundscape wash over you and take you to the far reaches of the Solar System
The Zenith Passage – Datalysium
As soon as I had sat through my first audition of the album, I knew it was gonna become a tech-death favourite.

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.
