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

Albums

Latest

Michael Romeo – War of the Worlds, Pt. 2

Michael is not only influenced by great guitarists, but also classical composers such as Beethoven, Ravel and Stravinsky. The maestro’s back catalogue speaks for itself, and this striking addition only strengthens that portfolio.

Messa_Close

Messa – Close

Messa has done a tremendous job being creative in a highly conservative genre and has created a very interesting album with “Close”.

Agathodaimon_The

Agathodaimon – The Seven

Agathodaimon has made an impressive comeback with renewed inspiration and is ready to reclaim its place as one of the leading artists in the symphonic black metal scene.

Kimaera – Imperivm

It never ceases to amaze me how many great bands there are out there and some in unlikely places. After all the setbacks they have still managed to produce a quality album. The like of which is a much-needed lifter of spirits in these depressing times.

SPACE Quartet in Tienen – Progressive Spirit, Pure Improvisation
