RotM_Jan2026

January 2026 starts the year slowly with 16 Highlights

Releases of the Month Januar 2026 with The Hirsch Effekt, Zu, HamaSaari, Cold Night for Alligators, Textures, Enshine, Frore 5 Four, Yoni the Bassist, Sloen, Widek, Karambolage, Ascend the Helix, Juodvarnis, Alkaloid, Kostas Sampanis & IOTUNN

The Veer Union – Reinvention

I find the diverse unpredictability of the material appeals to me a lot, despite the shortness of the tracks. These 10 songs are predominately melodic but with an aggressive edge.

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 it...

Joviac-Shards

Joviac – Autofiction Pt. 1 – Shards

This band have an ambition, which is to push their brand of progressive rock/metal into the big leagues. I think they have what it takes to achieve that, although there is some serious competition out there. Hopefully this album will get them a little closer to their aspirations. Another band to watch out for, me thinks. Could that be in the form of ‘Autofiction Pt. 2’ perhaps?

Connor Kaminski & KEYAN – Kinetic

These three tracks are a great introduction to this talented pair but after a few plays it’s not enough. I find myself wanting more, and hopefully it won’t be too long before more arrives.

Edensong - Our Road To Dust

Edensong – Our Road to Dust

This band has been around for over 20 years and there have been multiple band members come and go. So, with just 3 albums and 1 EP during that time, I’m not expecting anything else from them anytime soon. This latest album will have to do for now, and that’s just fine by me.

Empyrean Sanctum – Detachment from Reality

I have no doubt that this album will be popular given enough exposure/publicity. Which of course is what we at the Progspace strive to do, especially for these relatively unknown bands. There is plenty of creativity, resulting in a mixture of styles from progressive metal to funk and much more, with a generous sprinkle of modern metal.
