Norway has produced many excellent prog bands, and I see no reason why this group shouldn’t join that list.

Ne Obliviscaris – Exul

Over five years has been a long time to wait for this, but it was delayed for obvious reasons. I hope another release of this quality will not be too far in the future.

Stömb – Massive Disturbed Meta Art

Like many bands, the pandemic put the brakes on their progress for a couple of years. I am sure they are keen to do some catching up now. “Massive Disturbed Meta Art” will hopefully get them off to a flying restart.

Entheos – Time Will Take Us All

Fans of the modern fusion of death metal and prog will be thrilled to go through the journey presented by Entheos on Time Will Take Us All.

Haken_Fauna

Haken – Fauna

Is this the best Haken album so far? Perhaps but it is certainly the most complex, which may split opinions. One thing is for sure, the band are further cementing their status in the upper echelons of progressive rock/metal.

Insomnium_Anno1696

Insomnium – Anno 1696

“Anno 1696” is an album by a band that embraced its inner darkness, combined it with its previous strengths and managed to create a unique masterpiece of tremendous quality.

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...
