Vola – Friend of a Phantom
Anyone who’s familiar with the band’s previous work should know what to expect. They’re loyal to their sound and not exactly reinventing themselves with this album.
Albums
Latest
Gaerea – Coma
When done right, I feel like black metal can evoke some abstract and unspecified emotions of a primal nature, and that’s probably the strongest takeaway from Gaerea’s latest album!
Mother of Millions – Magna Mater
“Magna Mater” is a very immersive and atmospheric album, but that does not mean it’s not heavy. Rather, all the heavy riff elements have a different purpose than you’d expect.
Charlotte Wessels – The Obsession
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Charlotte has like 3 masters and a PhD in the aesthetics of emotional vulnerability.
Atomic Guava – Beach Episode
What bands like Atomic Guava have taught me is that a hook is best served with technical complexities on the side.

Behind the scenes: Interview with sound engineer Ronnie Young
At The Progspace, we look behind the scenes and talk to technicians like Ronnie Young, sound engineer for Animals as Leaders, TesseracT and Plini. What Plini said about Ronnie : ” At this point, having Ronnie at front of house is as important to our live show as the musicians on stage. You could be the greatest band in the world, but without a front of house engineer that understands your music and how it should be presented to the audience sonically, the effect can be anything from underwhelming to disastrous. ” Click here to read more about him !
