Jinjer – Duél
I’ve been thinking of them as a metalcore band, but I think that label might’ve become obsolete by the time they made “Macro”.
Albums
Latest
Skylimit – Skylimit
This EP isn’t anything I haven’t heard before. But it was mostly intended to be a compact dose of energy with some catchy hooks and grooves. And that mission was fully achieved.
Frogg – Eclipse
There is no denying that there is a lot of talent on show here. Frogg obviously have a desire to produce something unusual and it will be interesting to see where they go from here.
The Five Hundred – Ghostwriter
This is an album that showcases The Five Hundred’s willingness to push boundaries and explore new musical territories. I’m sure they must be very happy with the results of their hard work. Hopefully this will inspire them to evolve even further and I for one can’t wait to see where this exciting band goes next.
Distant Dream – The End of the World We Know
Distant Dream isn’t trying to blow minds, break records or reinvent the wheel in any way. They’re more in the business of providing pleasant emotional value and superb sound quality, for a fully immersive listening experience.

Arjen Lucassen welcomed us to his home via webcams and we had a lovely conversation with the dutch hippie about his new album as Ayreon: “Transitus”.
