Amaranthe – Arcane Dimensions Tour @ COS Torwar, Warsaw (17.03.2026)

AmarantheHybrid metal and maximum impact After the atmospheric opening set by Charlotte Wessels, the evening at COS Torwar effortlessly shifts into a higher gear. As part of the Arcane Dimensions Tour, Amaranthe take the second slot on the bill — a position that suits...

Ardarith – Home

There is a hint of album no. 2 and if the quality of future material is up to the standard of “Home” it will be worth waiting for.

Warforged – The Grove | Sundial

I feel like the band stayed true to the weird, ruthless concoction of sonic witchcraft and mad science that made their debut so savage, but they decided to take their listener’s risk of heart failure into account on this one.

Soilwork – Övergivenheten

There you have it, Soilwork has delivered the goods once again on “Övergivenheten”. I wish more bands would sound so inspired so many years into their career!

Stormbound – December

At the end of the album, it feels like you ran a marathon, been transported through many places and even different eras, as if you were on a proper adventure, and you’re left with a beautiful sense of finality.

Anthea – Tales Untold

What we do have here is a talented set of musicians with plenty of great ideas. That should stand them in good stead for the future.

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...
