Terravia – A New World

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

Albums

Disillusion_Ayam

Disillusion – Ayam

“Ayam” is an album full of riches and a must-have for everyone who loves progressive music.

Devin Townsend – Lightwork

Whatever project is next on Devin’s checklist, this album is a re-assurance that it will be dripping with quality.

Cover: Avatarium Death Where Is Your Sting

Avatarium – Death, Where Is Your Sting

“Death, Where Is Your Sting” is a mesmerizing album full of highlights, crafted by musicians who are not afraid to experiment, yet also manage to turn these experiments into excellent songwriting.

Sede Vacante – Conium

Conium is a very good example of the genre. The music has a harder edge than some other symphonic metal bands. I hope they keep that part of their compositions but also continue to include some softer tracks because that works.

Lorna Shore – Pain Remains

In these dark times everyone has their own way of coping. For me, music helps and sometimes that includes extreme music. The precision is jaw dropping and the arrangements are unpredictable and satisfying. The band seem to strive to better themselves constantly and it remains to be seen where they go next.

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...
