Band Spotlight: Soulsplitter – The Progspace 10th Anniversary Show

Germany’s Soulsplitter is the next band on our Spotlight series, presenting the bands for The Progspace 10th Anniversary Show.

Temic – Ceiba

This is a band going from strength to strength and this album will help them stand out in the progressive metal world. If it takes three more years until the next album, so be it, I can wait, because it is bound to be worth it.

Bigmoth – Carbon Error

This is a young band with hopefully a very promising future. Do not be surprised if they crop up at a venue near you or one of the European festivals. I hope this debut release will propel them on to greater success, because they have bags of potential.

TB Project – Hourglass of Exile

“Hourglass of Exile” is Taylor Batory’s crowning achievement, because prog albums that are this perfectly crafted are incredibly hard to come by. I really can’t recommend this one enough.

Voyager - Fearless in Love

Voyager – Fearless in Love

“Fearless in Love” is a skillfully well-balanced album, especially at this specific point in Voyager’s evolution. It is neither a departure from what their loyal fans know and love (especially using their more recent work as baseline), nor is it restrictive for newer fans who don’t necessarily stem from a metal background. It is listenable, explorable, palatable, but in no way does it take away from what the band stands for. Not an easy balance to strike, in my opinion. If music could be seen in colors, this album—and I’d say Voyager in general—would span the whole rainbow. And I think prog needs that in the mix.

Omnibeing - Recurrence Cover Art

Omnibeing – Recurrence

Omnibeing, a one-man project by Vital Shemetavets, has released a semaphore album, Recurrence, which might not be groundbreaking or having many hooks, but can be enjoyed by the fans of technical instrumental music, and saxophone lovers

Atomic Symphony – Nemesis

Despite only 5 tracks summing less than 40 minutes of run-time, “Nemesis” comes across as a convincing progressive metal effort that takes the listener on a complex emotional journey.

Cynic – ReFocus

Cynic’s 1993 debut “Focus” was nothing short of tantamount to the collective development of modern progressive metal. In celebration of its 30th anniversary, mastermind Paul Masvidal revisited his own history book to give the cherished album a rejuvenation, with the self-released “ReFocus”.
