Flub – Dream Worlds

Flub continues to deliver high-quality melodic tech-death with a sound unique enough to avoid becoming a cliché.

Demon King – Vesania

Dissentient - Labyrinth

Dissentient – Labyrinth

If we believe Periphery, Djent is not a genre – and as they basically coined the term, they should know. However, if it was a genre, Canada’s Dissentient have taken the playbook and nailed it. Fans of the genre are well advised to look past the smaller-scale resume of this band and give the album a try.

SPACE Quartet in Tienen – Progressive Spirit, Pure Improvisation

At first glance, SPACE Quartet might not seem like an obvious feature for an international progressive rock platform. A Belgian improvisation collective built around an electric sitar does not fit neatly into the conventional prog canon. Yet that is precisely why...
