GeRald_TheLostTapes

!GeRald! – .The Lost Tapes.

!GeRald! is a class act with a pinch of absurdity, which makes them just my type. Nothing is overdone or blown out of proportion, but it is still in your face.

Atomic Guava – Peasants of the Future

Every djent and prog metal nerd out there should do themselves the favor of checking out this album, especially if they’re introverted and need some booster to break their inhibitions.

Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, primarily known as the lead guitarist for one of the biggest metal bands on this planet, is also an avid lover and collector of horror movies and dito memorabilia. Forever operating in the shadow of James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich he finally...

Ibaraki_Rashomon

Ibaraki – Rashomon

With Ibaraki and “Rashomon”, Matt Heafy delivered an album that can stand toe to toe with Ihsahn’s more celebrated works.

ShadowOfIntent_Elegy

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...
