The Mourning – Hush
“Hush” displays a lot of compositional variety, and offers a strong throwback to prog metal classics while also keeping a unique sound and mixing in unexpected elements.
Albums
Latest
Greylotus – Motherwort
Their sound is exploring the grey area between modern technical death metal and deathcore, and they’re also throwing in hints of djent and black metal, just to make the concoction of extremity as wild as it gets.
Frozen Crown – War Hearts
Power metal isn’t exactly my go-to genre. But something clicked for me when I was watching the video to ‘War Hearts’ and all of a sudden, instead of coming across as “power metal”, I felt like I was just witnessing some brilliant songwriting.
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.
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!

Interviews
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 !
