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...

Terravia – A New World

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

KAIPA-Urskog-Cover-800x800

Kaipa – Urskog

…there is once again so much to enjoy, so much excellent craftsmanship, which I think you don’t want to miss out on. So maybe I shouldn’t moan about the lack of renewal and just enjoy all the beauty that Kaipa once again brings us.

MichaelWhalen_ImaginaryTrains

Michael Whalen – Imaginary Trains

I suggest taking a break from reality, putting on “Imaginary Trains” and taking an hour or two to drive to some random new place. The pure, nostalgic feeling of the album will keep you company and turn your little journey into a peaceful getaway.

SomaliYachtClub_TheSpace

Somali Yacht Club – The Space

Each of the songs on “The Space” is well-crafted, but with such music it is always hard to focus on individual songs. This is an album to be consumed as a whole, so it can wash over you and sweep you away.

Monuments – In Stasis

These guys are definitely flying the flag for UK technical metal. They are not the only ones of course, but for me, they do stand out from the crowd. Hopefully, we have not seen the last of them, as this current line-up works well. The prospect of further releases is an exciting one, that is for sure.

Soledad_XIII

Soledad – XIII

Here we have a talented young band with bags of potential. Lola’s song writing is excellent and the whole approach seems very professional. I believe they will go on to bigger things and even better material. Long may both Soledad and that French je ne sais quoi continue.

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...
