Green Carnation – A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex

The band have set themselves a very high bar to maintain. What will they take on next? Whatever it is, I’m sure it won’t be a disappointment. We wait with great expectations.

Gender Reveal Atomic Bomb & Bikini Beach – Down The Hill Festival, Rillaar, Belgium – 22 August 2026

  At first listen, Gender Reveal Atomic Bomb and Bikini Beach sounded surprisingly similar. Both bands draw from a raw, direct kind of rock energy, with punk as an important foundation, heavy guitars and very little interest in musical politeness. Yet their...

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.

Paul Sadler – The Irrational EP

This man never fails to impress with his musicality. Whether it be extreme or melodic and everything in-between, it is always accomplished and professional. I am sure some of you are hoping for a resurgence of Spires like I am. For now though, whatever he chooses to compose is just fine by me, because the quality is guaranteed. Who knows what will be next? Whatever it is, it’s bound to be worth waiting for.

Dream Theater – Parasomnia

Hopefully there will be much more to come from Dream Theater. If this album is representative of their future musical direction, then count me in for the ride.
