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

Haven of Echoes – The Indifferent Stars

Everything Paul touches seems to turn to gold and his accomplice Andreas appears to have the same ability. So, this partnership has quality stamped all over it. “The Indifferent Stars” is a fine addition to the catalogue of both musicians and who knows, we may see more from them. I certainly hope so.

An Abstract Illusion – Woe

The creative effort, challenging topic and gargantuan scale of the delivery can only secure a place for “Woe” as one of the strongest contenders for the 2022 album of the year.

Revocation_Netherheaven

Revocation – Netherheaven

Revocation sounds super inspired and energetic on “Netherheaven”, so I happily recommend the album to anyone who loves extreme melodic metal.

BlindGuardian_TheGodMachine

Blind Guardian – The God Machine

“The God Machine” is a definite must-have for Blind Guardian fans and certainly an interesting album for anyone who likes progressive power metal.

SPACE Quartet in Tienen – Progressive Spirit, Pure Improvisation
