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.
Albums
Latest
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.
Dawn of Ouroboros – Bioluminescence
Dawn of Ouroboros is an outright mythical sensory experience.
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.
Fractal Universe – The Great Filters
“The Great Filters” is a great exploration of a question that has been inspiring astronomers, physicians, philosophers and conspiracy theorists alike. The album dives well into the matter, both lyrically and sonically.
