Moron Police’s Pachinko takes listeners on a surreal, emotionally charged journey, blending grief, absurdity, and hope with their signature mix of progressive rock, metal, and unexpected melodic twists. The album spins from introspective melancholy to playful chaos, leaving a lasting impression of skillful, unpredictable brilliance.
I cannot fault this latest release in any way. Five years has been a long time to wait for it but it’s well worth that wait. I and many others now need to wait with bated breath for whatever Chris comes up with next. It’s guaranteed to be excellent; his track record ensures that.

Some concerts already have a story before the first note is played. Hooverphonic at Het Groot Verlof was one of those nights. Earlier that evening, the Oude Markt had watched Belgium’s World Cup quarter-final against Spain together. Belgium lost, and for a moment it...

Fallujah, Live at Backstage Munich, Feb. 20, 2026
